THE EXORCISM OF MY HATE

IN MY MIND, 
you are GUILTY

There was a trial
(in my mind)
and you were found GUILTY

And for your crimes, the judge
(who was also me)
sentenced you to DEATH

That might seem extreme,
but I can assure you,
it was a fair trial
(I know, I was there, in my mind)

There were testimonies from
expert witnesses
and evidence from 
trusted institutions
and trusted sources

And you were defended by a fantastic lawyer,
(who was also me)
who made a number of 
clever and compelling arguments
in your defense

But in the end,
everyone in the jury,
(who were all, also me)
unanimously agreed: 
You are GUILTY
and deserve to DIE

We all agreed that
the evidence presented was:
COMPLETE,
OBJECTIVE,
and CERTAIN beyond any doubt
OR FUTURE CHANGE

That the harms you committed
against me, 
and others,
and the community,
and humanity,
and the environment,
and the Earth,
and GOD or THE TRUTH,
are a CLEAR THREAT to us ALL
and our COLLECTIVE GOOD

That your lack of good judgment,
your loathsome demeanor,
your lack of regret,
your refusal to even NOTICE
exactly how horrible you actually are,
make you
EVIL
and deserving of 
DEATH

We can't have people such as you spreading
your bad ideas,
your bad habits,
your bad genes

You, and others like you, 
are a VIRUS to humanity,
which we must simply ERADICATE

Therefore, WE
(and by "WE",  I mean "I")
sentence YOU
(and by "YOU", I mean, ALL LIKE YOU)
to DEATH

AND IN MY MIND,
I am also the executioner

So I will now pick up this gun,
or maybe this knife,
or this brick,
or this stick,
or this rock,
or this poison,
or this injection,
or this bomb,
or maybe I'll just build a machine to be efficient,
because there are a lot like you

On second thought,
I shouldn't have to dirty my hands,
or sully my reputation,
or burden my karma

So I will tell others the truth about you,
And show them the evidence of your loathsome sins
and they will carry out my sentence for me

And if they don't listen,
Then perhaps, 
I will just LIE to them

Yes, your crimes are that severe,
that it is a LESSER EVIL
to tell LIES about you

That once others eventually come to truly understand
the extremity of
your WRONGNESS,
your WILLFUL IGNORANCE,
your IREDEEMABLE BELLIGERENCE,
they will understand and forgive my NOBLE LIES

SO I WILL LIE THEN
And say whatever I need to say, 
to make them:
fear you,
and hate you,
and laugh at you,
and neglect you,
and harass you,
and shun you,
and silence you,
and impoverish you,
and imprison you,
and attack you,
and murder you
(AND ALL THOSE LIKE YOU TOO)

Because after all,
IN THE HIGH COURT OF MY MIND
You have been sentenced to DEATH
And all of this then, is simply:
MY RIGHTEOUS JUSTICE
