Rage

The wrath inside you boils from your rage;

your anger elevates to drown your sense.

My blindness has deluded me as sage,

serene and irreproachably intense.

 

It’s likely that my passive nature’s pushing

my little brother, you, – who hates that term –

straight to hear discordant, silent ringing

as wrath’s contorted demon crisply worms

 

into your weakened ear to fill your mind

with bubbles, red, and bursting sound, and DARK –

which spread like darkened dust-storms into mine.

That ready wrath, red and quick to spark

 

burns best those minds invulnerable to sin –

such smug-singed souls sink – slaves to self-delusion.
