Living In the Heart

armies of demented chaos
an abhorrent demonstration
of abbreviations and loss
crying out for retribution
          precisely poised to detonate
          the explosive that is shame
          forcing all to contemplate
          who's running this sick game
bleeding massive effort
for zero appreciation
the ego loves to extort
all of beautiful creation
          statistics and probability
          a mass struggle for control
          the raping of all sanity
          oh, how emotion takes its toll

Emotions can certainly become a weapon if we allow them to be influenced by the wrong crowd. All around is simmering just about at a boil. Kind of scary. Nicely done Christy.
