If I cut you open, what would I find?

If I dissected you, spliced you, made you bleed

Would I find blood, would I find organs, or would I find nothing

If I cut you open, what would I find?

Would I find a man, a woman a child

Or a monster? An animal free from its cage to do whatever it wants.

If I cut you open, what would I find?

If I hacked and cut and tore and pulled and dug

Would I find a soul, as pure as light. Virgin white. Innocence incarnate.

If you cut me open, what would you find?

Would you find darkness, nothing but tar

As black as the night, darker than any sin

If you cut me open, what would you find?

A soul as dark and evil and twisted.

My apologize if I anyone you with this comment, but since I  put you on my WATCH's list because LOK, so when I read this poem, I immediately think about a fan-fic I read not long ago name 'Watch the World Burn' (www.fanfiction.net/s/10794120/…. It's a one shot story about Korra gone psychopath(not 'anti-hero-psychopath, a REAL psychopath, with killing for fun and all), and recap the even in book 1 with a disturbing but well written story line
