The Spiral of Hate
A Spiral of Hate is sparked
By Hateful Deed to Innocent People
Indignant cries leads to march for Justice
But Righteousness depletes at a rabbit's pace
The Line between Good and Evil blurs
Angel faces become masks for Demons
As Hate pollute Souls of Heavenly Blue to Hellish Red
No longer Righteous and Just.
No longer Heroes of Goodness.
Stained by Innocents' blood
Monsters they are of the Worst Sort of Evil.
Reviled, disgusted and Hated
Sins of Vengeance inspire more Hate to spread.
The Indignant misdirected to Misguided Acts
To make pay the Innocents and Undeserving
In place of Hate-corrupted Kings who ignore Calls for True Justice.
Truly, Angels have Fallen
Obedient to the whispers of the Devil in their Hearts
An Inspiration to Others to make weep He Who Watches From Above
To turn a most Stupid Cycle, a most Foolish Spiral with no end in sight.
A Spiral of Hate

Hi. This is Victor, the author.
It is not often that I openly express my views to the wider world, mostly because I'm just a simple guy who wants to avoid conflict as much as possible. But sometimes, as news after news comes out of an unfortunate situation getting much, much worse, I cannot help it. And it has gotten to the point that this time, I wanted to make sure that this poem is understood at its core.
This poem in a nutshell is a criticism and condemnation of all parties involved in the currently ongoing conflict as of this post that started between Hamas and Israel that started in October 2023 AD and eventually snowballed to rope in at least two other countries directly, and inspired people in the greater world in really negative ways. And I mean all parties.
It is also a warning of things to come that we've all already seen coming but still needed saying for some reason. Everyone had these warnings before. We've seen it in the latter half of Naruto, a franchise started by Japanese comic artist Masashi Kishimoto. We've seen it in an episode of Doctor Who about a conflict with rebellious Zygons. Sure, one's a cartoon and the other's a fictional sci-fi drama aimed at children. But that doesn't mean the messages, the morals, and the lessons are invalid, especially about the consequences of war and falling to our own hatred.
One real life example that proves my point would be the event that took place in Amsterdam between November 6 to November 7, 2024 and possibly ongoing as well.
And to be perfectly clear so there is no misunderstanding, I condemn antisemitism. I condemn racism. I condemn sexism. I view all those things as evil, and they clearly are.
I judge not by a person's race, religion or cultural background. I judge people individually, by the things they say and do as individuals even as they claim to say and do things as a representative of their demographic. And if I believe what those individuals do is evil, then I condemn those individuals, and those individuals alone. Because race, religion and cultural background are in no way indicators of a person's worth or whether they are evil or not.
Now, I will end my essay with a link to a video that perfectly encapsulates pretty much everything.
