she let that anger go
in a scream that shook the ground, the trees, that scared evey dog to bark, and the neighbours asked how dare

and i told them
you let the dogs bark at strangers
your husband bark at your kids
but not this soul scream at the gods

"it woke us up, in the middle of the night"

as it should
and so should you
wake the **** up
come out and shout properly, you stupid shitholes
shout like your husband just ruined you
like a car just killed your friend
shout as if you live in a world where your tools can rip your leg
a world where your chosen leaders steal while you smile
a world where you have the gall

the ******* gall

to call peace an illusion because you do not feel it during chaos

you ungrateful ******* curse happiness for being brief, when you could not bring yourself to admit that you could not persist in fighting agony

my friend has fought, and she has fought
and her scream is of pain, and ecstasy

your measly shouts
your earfucking arguments
are a desperate and out of tune cry for control
control of your children
of your work
of your house
of your country
of your pathetic idea of love
your pathetic idea of responsibility
your pathetic idea of justice

my friend has screamed
and in doing, she has gripped the fates by the *****
she has gutted the devil
my friend is happy
my friend is strong
my friend has fought
my friend has control

of her own
her life
and the ******* universe

so what, huh?
how dare you shout so weakly when we have screamed so sincerely

come out and tell the ******* gods what it is

the world is ****
the world is ******
the world is well
the world is ruined
we are ruined
we are ******
we are confused
we are strong

so come out
scream
you *****
scream!
