The mob took me when I was young
Though I knew nothing of my abduction,
I was gone before anyone knew.
They came in the middle of the day
As I sat comfortably in my own room,
Who I was disappeared and I vanished.
There were no fliers for my vanishing
No posts, no anxious television interviews
No searches or bloodhounds or roadblocks
I left willingly that day.
Taken from existence and consumed.
That was the day I learned of hate
As if a switch lit the bright blinding light
In my head it screamed in silence,
I’d chosen to go and along I went
I stepped out into the world
With a cold metal heart I gravitated
To its magnetic core
It was an easy decision at the time
To step into the void
Dark and always famished.
We are all consumed by the world
In one way or another we are kidnapped
And no one knows that we ever left
I lost my individuality that day
To a group and mindset
That was bent to hate without remorse
I sit in my room again
Now aware of the consuming rage
That can ensnare groups and people
The mob took me long ago
But I have since returned
More caring than before
More understanding that
We are not born with evil in are hearts
We are only deceived thru a terrible lie,
That hatred gives us power.
