Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Dynamic Duo

The powers of hate and fear be

More than merely alive and well.

They thrive through all of history,

And have made Earth a living hell.

From birth each of us quickly learn

That hate and fear are all around,

Seeking each of us out to burn

Each of our souls to be bound,

To be a slave of masters of

Conformity of humankind,

To nicely talk the talk of love

While fear and hate control the mind.

To live where hate and fear abide,

To conform is to die inside.
