Located in the mind and in our moods

A misanthrope is not so hard to find
They live invisibly till they’re  set off.
Then their cold sarcasm  affects our  minds
What we say incurrs their bitter wrath

If we hate all  the humans that we know
Have poor opinions  of the world  without
Then  it’s likely we have suffered bitter blows
And so in childhood we began to doubt

When we  feel afraid and weak we’re pressed
We see the world    through narrow focused lens
Others seem to  have life without tests
So why should they need  us to make amends?

Unnoticed and well hidden attitudes
Are located in the mind and in our moods
