The Passive Revenger

s/he hasn’t an aggressive bone in her/his body, at least not one you can see & when you pass him/her on the street, you’d thing s/he had ****ing angel wings on her/his back, even if, as i, you’d not believe that such things exist even if there was a gun barrel pressed to your temple--- the passive revenger puts his/her hope in “karma,” believing that there is some kind of personal boomerang which will come flying round after an ******* has left one’s life to crack them upside the head when they least expect it--- said individual things that there is some kind of “divine justice,” even if they don’t put a label on it, because they want to make things “right,” without getting their own hands dirty--- such is the sullen violence of a coward, such is the quiet & ridiculous nature of a hypocrite who tells us that they “forgive” whilst holding the want for blood close to their heart & glowing like roaring red embers in their mind.
