Manufacturing a Destructor

could it be that accompanying the biggest heart is the largest pool of seething rage (and that they cannot be separated---that because one exists, the other has been formed)--- a virtual filing cabinet filled with the charred memories of failures & brooding angst that come from years of neglect & a societal ignorance of a single personality that so quickly will be swept under the rug? could it be that when the biggest heart is not nurtured (as so many other who have hearts so much smaller), that the anger bubbling over, might swallow it whole? could it be that said heart now swallowed might blacken & infest inside the angry host, forcing it to turn cancerous & from that pure unadulterated anger, might come a thrashing out towards those who neglected, who ignored, who aimed to sweep said individual under the rug? could it be that when all things come to pass & the now blackened, cancerous & angst ridden individual, sees fit to enact a firestorm upon the world around her/him, that we will be surprised, that we will act as if we had no idea, just as we have done before in the past? could it be that the responsibility for the destruction of the biggest heart, lies in the hands of us all & that no one is innocent when it comes to the carnage that follows?
