to their knees

strewn words of kindness
but for conjecture,
because conviction needs no guidance
when hatred consumes the heart.

icy finger-tips burn, bite, sting, leave
traces of the inky blackness 
on the soul, deprived of mercy
from oneself.

cowering in a crowded room,
empty but for deprecating thoughts,
the noble cry, brought to nothing 
and their knees.
