[bodytext] => You can see them if you look hard enough. Emotions, feelings, impulses, instincts. Most, nearly all, rise up to a peak and fall, Falling back to the bottom to wait thier turn. But then you have hatred, pain, suffering. Endless torment caused by the falling of the most. The constants in life, they are eternal and endless. Look to them for the answer to life. You love someone, they die, love falls. Back to the bottom of the pile to hide. In that falling, only the constants remain. Felt all the more keenly thanks to the small rise. You suffer, burning and raw in mind and soul. You feel anger rising, rising through you in a wave. Hatred to the killer whether you or another, And despair for the memories and how to go on. You see the lies and false sympathy around you. You see the full truth of what people say, Their sneers at what you so foolishly thought right, You realise the truth of the world in the constants. Hatred gives you new eyes with which to see. The view is so much clearer, sharper, sweeter. The bitter, sour taste of the unknown assails you, The constants protect you, you remain safe and warm.
