“Do You?”


Do you know what makes a man hate?
Do you see his logic behind his grudge?
Do you see what controls his thoughts and actions?
His instincts?

Do you know what makes a man kill?
Do you see his reasoning as he does?
Do you see what he sees as normal? As an option?
As revenge?

Do you see yourself in his shoes?
Do you trust yourself when you lose control?
Do you trust your own judgment?
Your own instincts?
Your own hate?
