Oh, angst, defined by blinded mind,
in truth, designed by pernicious kind,
circled by sin, then arrowing in,
reaching for all with strictures to bind.

Oh, ire, defined by shrouded mind,
kindness, dismissed by voided grind,
consumed by chill, and killing self-will,
demeaning all by uniqueness maligned.

Oh, wrath, defined by erstwhile mind,
respect, dissolved by selfish rind,
squared by black, it needs to attack,
negating all with judgment confined.
