Analysis of Hysteria
Clashing masses break against the others;
The mobs form their zealous waves.
Panic and rage induced by brothers,
Humanity breaks into hysterical raves.
Has Man come to despise its reflection?
Smash the mirror, dig their graves,
Buried in each, the fragments of its complexion,
Devouring the flesh that a cannibal craves.
