Curses
This section is about magic, which is done with the intention to harm or destroy another person. Curses can be called a variety of different things: hexes, jinxes, banes (although this is usually a poison), the evil-eye, bedevil, malediction (specifically spoken curses) and even a, whammy (yes as in “double whammy”).

Random Poetry – Fucking Stupid
Why can’t you see? You’re so fucking stupid. You turn from truth, reason left looted. Why can’t you see? You’re so fucking stupid. Slogans and earworms, facts uprooted. Evidence, not arrogance.
