Of Considerable Faith

treading water during the day to day during the 9 to five full of hatred full of anger but willed with the cowardice of those who hope there’s a “god” so as to get that secret justice that they so passionately desire on a daily basis when they flick on the television & see another dastardly deed gone awry as if it will all make sense some day, as if it is owed to the faithful & this is the one who bides his/her time, who holds it all in, whose fists clench more often than not & in the event that the state calls said individual into the courtroom, in the event that they walk behind a badge, in the event that they sit with their finger on the button, they gain a psychotic faith in themselves in which to be the direct extension of the “god” whose justice they desire one day to see, can be a temptation that for many can be much too great.
