Of all the motivations, you just can't beat the hate.
Despite the connotation it's a very useful weight
It'll get you through the hardest bits, an endless burning source
for dealing with life's halfwits, and the quarterwits of course.
It also lets you comprehend the reality of love.
You see the scale at either end on down from up above.
Supercharged ambrosia, how can you help but drink.
Once you understand it all you no longer have to think.
Of course there is a price to pay, for opening the mind.
You never get it all your way, when using what you find.
It's way too late for me to go, so far back the way I came.
Once understood you can't unknow, you can't unlight the flame.
The sweetest thing's to have it there, spread out for you to know.
With screaming pain and nerves stripped bare really making it all glow.
Of course no choice is ever free, as far as choices go,
but hate is great raw energy to make creation flow.
The biggest secret I have learnt, straight away in life.
Love and hate will get you burnt, and both cut like a knife.
Better then to walk away, and disappear inside.
Love will only warp and fray but hatred fuels the ride.
Unlimited creation, that you never thought you'd find.
Self vituperation leaves all sanity behind.
The ugly world won't ever know that you aren't coming back.
Days go by all in a row 'til you don't bother keeping track.
Sometimes you've got to walk away, when it just gets all too hard.
Love will lead you all astray, and make you drop your guard.
But blackest hatred's rocket fuel will see you through my friend.
Snarling fury, dripping drool will get you to the end.
No one will know the why or how, you make such beautiful art.
No-one's business when the screams inside have torn your mind apart.
Price is high when you hold it in and keep it on your own.
All others see's the grimace grin once sanity has flown.
As long as hatred pure and bright is used in the right way,
no-one gets to say you're right, or wrong to go away.
Price is high but matters not, once you're on the plane.
Pay it all and take the lot, you have so much to gain.
As far as millstones go, it's a very useful weight.
When you need motivation fuel, really nothing beats some hate.
