Death of the Grotesque

It is in times of despair
that we wish for happiness
It is in times of poverty
that we are desperate for fortune

When one's personality goes sour
We turn to those who are sweet
When the world goes to war
We seek peace

In times of loneliness
We devour attention
When in the presence of the naive
We turn to the mature

In the depths of the darkest evil
We seek the purity of light
When people seek to hurt
We go to the ones who nurture

And when we see a sight
unworthy of our eyes
We go to the beautiful

Whether you find one of these grotesque or many
We all wish for them to vanish completely from our site
Never return to our delicate memories
We wish them to die...in a metaphorical sense
