Life Is The Foe

Life is the foe;
Death is the friend;
Hate is the good deed;
Love is the sin.

Hope is Hell;
And joy a sick vice;
Grief is healthy;
Despair is paradise.

Happiness is filth;
Dreams are atrocities vile;
Banality is the cleanliness;
Sorrow is wholesome in style.

Courage is damning;
Fear is redemption;
Comfort is a punishment;
From which pain brings exemption.

Dark is light;
And light is dark;
In my mutilated soul;
And my desecrated heart.
