Outrage

I am at odds with this world bearing ill will towards all, There’s a moral outrage brewing in me that I’m unable to constrain. It’s like I am on a crusade to right the wrongs of modern society and punish those responsible. To exact revenge on those who have soiled the fabric of society. Unbeknownst to me, this seething resentment is raging deep within my soul towards the self-serving society— This unabashed hedonistic wasteful culture, indifferent to the plights of the downtrodden, Pursuing pleasure and good life while the populace at large die of hunger. Some people wallow in luxury and extravagance-- They hoard, they feast, they overindulge, unconcerned with the plight of multitude living in squalid condition deprived of basic human needs. Yeah, there’s a rage within me and I am hell bent on smacking the world down. There’re people in it who are evil and deceitful, Selfish, corrupt, arrogant, marauders and self-indulgent thugs. I like to put them in a chokehold and squeeze the life out of this egotistical lot. Lord, it’s time to unleash upon the world, The Four Horsemen of Apocalypse! ~09/21/21 ~Contest: "O" (Outrage) ~Sponsor: Constance La France

Congratulations. Unfortunately this has been going on for thousands and thousands of years.... It is just more prominent now because of the social media. I totally agree, it is so disturbing to see all the greed, all the me-me -me, when there are so many suffering....
