Ugly Seasons

Somber, insulent thoughts of you
 
Forsaken words in ire rang true
 
Plotting my demerit back then
 
I'll not be modest or humble again
 
A deluge of hate tainted tears
 
Grieved with fury through the years
 
Bruised with my gaunt ego impaired
 
Now I scheme this misery be shared
 
Your worthy to relish in this shame
 
Indignant, it's you I still blame
 
Cherishing this grudge I've found
 
The vulgarity will keep us bound
 
Fraudulent, you preyed upon me
 
Exploited for all the world to see
 
Ruthless now, I'll take my turn
 
To slaughter your every wish or yearn
 
Is my iniquity an heirloom, old
 
Or atrocity of a conscience, cold
 
Insults thrust at my back and face
 
This your last infamous disgrace
 
For a "Lynch Law" I'll gladly bestow
 
With my sordid score card all aglow
 
Your lies evoked the beast I am
 
It's my right to bedevil and damn
 
Attacks thwarted time after time
 
Berating every fallible crime
 
So corrupt is the index of reasons
 
That all is naught for ugly seasons
