Rage

can you feel it?

it lies just beneath the surface,

it’s in the eyes, it’s on the lips,

of everyone who passes by;

rage;

like a dark, angry cloud,

waiting to explode,

crying to strike out,

destroying all that was,

and all that will be;

rage;

for lies told,

in the name of truth,

for forgotten streets traveled,

but never remembered,

for empty dreams,

swallowed up by hungry governments,

mad with power,

jealous with;

rage;

like a fire,

it consumes everything,

then spits it out,

screaming for annihilation;

rage.
