Who says misanthropy is dead?

Not I, as I sit,
Stewing, plotting, seething,
Naught but agony and strife in the world,
Humanity is but a plague.

"Who needs enemies with friends like mine?"
Who needs friends when they shit on you to get to the top?

Would the world be greater without me?
Would it be better without them?
Perhaps both.

But suicide is a coward's way out.

Deal with it, like a real person,
Life is unfair, humankind to blame,

It is about acceptance.

But not conformity,
Not complacency,
Lie along with the liars,
Fools fooling fools.

Who says misanthropy is dead?
A dark wander through the thought processes of the depressive.
