The Eyes of a Just Revenge
just as the laughter of the “law”
shifting quietly behind the disguise of order
weeds out our “civilized” society
by choosing the “appropriate” garbage cans
in which to throw people
who have been deemed for one reason or another
to be deviants from the norm
without any real hope of
assimilation,
those taken out to the trash remember the garbage men---
they remember the faces
they remember the actions &
they remember the ways in which
it seemed that their own casting out
was so very easy for those on the other side of the
glass.
so it should come as no surprise
that those deemed unworthy of living amidst the rest of us
“civilized” individuals
walk with revenge in their eyes &
a heart still alive with the passion to enact that revenge
on this place that has excluded them
without any attempt at helping them to stay afloat
or reap the benefits that so few really do &
though it is a violent & destructive revenge
that many seek,
burning every ugly face behind the perty masks in
effigy,
some seek to work within the system which had it had its way,
it would have erased them from the equation,
however, as that has not been the case,
they seek a just revenge by
investigating the true depths of corruption &
disgusting behavior
which festers within those that are so self-righteous
as to think they can put the weeding of “civilization” into
movement,
so as to one day expose them &
nail them up on the wall for all the world to see,
so that hopefully
those of us that are not polluted in such a manner
will find a way to keep such tyranny from happening
again.
