Feeling Feelings Day 2

BY A NOT SO FAMOUS AUTHOR

Believe Me Brother

Lay down your arms brother

And I shall repay thy trust with treachery.

Believe me brother when I say

I only have my best interest at heart.

I shall feed those who are thriving 

While others go hungry.

Believe me brother when I say

I bare no ill will towards the common man.

I am neither common nor hungry.

Fear not brother I shall help those who have something to trade.

My wish is not cruelty.

I am a man of reason

And in this cruel world reason states

That I must be cruel.

I must be ruthless.

Not merely to survive 

But to thrive.
