Good Confessions By Better People

Hate seems ubiquitous these days, flowing freely throughout the internet via website comment sections. It forges violent new paths through the media landscape, festering unseen within seemingly commonplace daily encounters. Good Confessions By Better People descends into the dark abyss lurking below the thin veneer of normality in our daily lives, using poetry to create a psychological profile of a particularly offensive breed of human.
