Rage

In your fury you were consumed Torched by the might of your hand Locked away in your shadows By a strange rage that took hold of you I want to cover the blame For you acted in the cloudiness of your mind In anger that obscured your reasoning What fuelled up the furnace I have no knowledge of But I know of your heart’s recompense Yet they seek to cart you away Exert their revenge on you Take you to where you can’t explode And shut that fire anyway possible I wish to save you from their hands But your actions justify you not Nor your act of anger and fury You have given your accusers a pass Now they tread on your anger Despite your soberness or words of peace They wish to shut you out completely In all my wisdom and kindness Even I cannot save you from the upshot of your fury Too bad the jury finds you guilty
