Rage is the revolution, the revolt, the uprising,
Rage is the mother of freedom,
The sprouting seed of change,
The raging wildfire, the upheaval,
The conflagration, the burning souls,
The injustice forced on any group,
Community, nation, faith, belief,
Rage is Jihad, the Crusade, the Inquisition,
The conflict between ideals, the mores and the morals,
Rage is Apartheid, Rage is Slavery, Rage is the Exodus,
Rage is the wrath of God
upon Sodom and Gomorrah,
Rage is the expulsion of Adam & Eve
from the Garden of Eden,
Rage is God’s Ten Commandments.
Rage is the fall of mighty Empires,
The fall of despots and dictators,
Their crimes against humanity and the genocide,
Rage is the campaign against their killings,
Raping, torturing, nepotism, corruption,
Rapacity, political repression, ethnic persecution,
Their tyranny and their extravagance—
Rage is the voice of a common man raising
the storm whenever bereft of all hopes and peace!

~Subject: Rage
~"Pick a Subject" contest by Shadow Hamilton
Until a body bomb kills without discrimination,
Sneaking up on its victims without a slightest remorse.
A serial killer dying under a flag of no true nation,
Dreaming his murders will send him straight to some heaven.
Believing that will not prepare him for Satan's hell,
As a ridiculous final smile is burned from his face.
Killing every infidel on earth will earn him nothing,
Never buying even one moment in God's true paradise.

"A poem to me is the essence of any thought,
Being built from its foundation into tower scraping sky.
It can fly like no other bird to places never seen,
Even spaceships can only dream of taking its place."

On a wild rampage
I ride through the night
Livid with anger
Redemption in sight
Set out to pillage
Your heart and your soul
Leave nothing standing
No, nothing left whole
A prisoner of war
I will take you to me
A slave bound and tied
Not meant to be free
Part of my booty
You’re mine to demand
You must pay your dues
Obey each command
I’m furious with rage
My anger I’ll vent
You thought me serene
No, I am hell bent
There must be payment
For breaking my heart
My revenge is sweet
I’ll not spare a part
My siege is complete
My honor in tact
I’m a fierce warrior
There’s nothing I lack
You thought you’d use me
And then you would flee
You figured it wrong
Look straight into me
I've come to avenge
I see how you shake
You poor little lamb
Your stronghold I break
I know your weakness
And with it I snare
You can’t resist me
When beauty I bare
With weakness exposed
I bind you with might
I torture you well
All through the long night
I play with my toy
Until I tire
Then toss you aside
Charred by my fire
Left helpless and weak
You bemoan your fate
While I ride away
Now calm and sedate
