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;

dark, angry clouds

waiting to explode,

crying

to strike out

at anything in its path,

destroying

all that was

or ever will be;

rage;

for the 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 envy;

rage;

like a fire

it consumes everything

then spits it out

screaming

for annihilation;

rage.
