I’m so angry at people getting angry.

Seeing small bottles

holding high pressure tempers,

shattering violently into pieces

Bodies evidently teeming

with raw emotion.

Left unprocessed through the wires of the mind.

Those drawn to the senseless act

of being the creator of chaos,

Caught up,

in the oh-so-satisfying shoot down of words.

Sucking the power directly into their chests

Strutting away

with the benefits

of making a scene.


And don't forget the disrespect.

The egotistical souls of complainers.

Keeping close.

to the ethics of victimhood.

Lashing out at anyone

that doesn't accept their way.

Unaware

that people also possess lives

and issues to handle of their own.
