Watch Me!

I stand by the child who screams in the night, when no one comes to comfort her.
I watch the man as he beats his wife, smiling as he does so.
I'm with the man as he loses his job and the woman who loses her home.
I go to war with the solider and visit his family daily.
I live in dark, dirty places: the slums, alley ways, and back streets.
I love ugliness. I thrive on violence. Depression feeds me.
I crush hope, faith and light. I am all powerful. I am fear.
