R I Ire

It burns deep on the inside,
this fire has engulfed my heart
Downtrodden beat  beat   beat
of oppression
Feeds the flame 
of my 
righteous indignation

A hot ire,
whose flames
keep ascending higher
and higher

Toxic by-products of hate
brings me so much ash disgust:

Refugee rejection ...
Nuclear fear proliferation
Hard coin slavery ...
Skin separation burns
of third-degree severity

So much crematoria greed
on the rise,
as the glow of compassion
slowly dies

It sparks a righteous indignation ire,
an anger justifiably judgmental worthy

Oh, how it burns ...
to see poor souls, crying 
to the heavens, 
innocently bleed!
