Rage
Can you taste it.
Just below the surface.
rolling, coiling,
slowly boiling.
Begging for release.
No topic .
No target.
No place to pounce,
with madman's cackling glee.
No place justice to appease.
Vile and blinding,
noxious and pernicious.
Corruption of the whole.
Aimless and blameless.
un assuaged.
galled.
Fighting mood!
Somebody,
anybody.
Give me a reason.
Open your mouth.
That top mounted anal orifice.
That undirected haze.
That inhabits the day,
and violates the night.
Wickedly nefarious.
Disfiguring reality.
Instinct
Hardwired in men.
When life isn't right,
Fight or flight.
amped for action,
encounter.
The hunter.
Or prey
Smile the civilized style.
Savage hidden,
in a three piece suit
