Manufacturing a Destructor
could it be
that accompanying the
biggest heart
is the largest pool of
seething
rage
(and that they cannot be
separated---that because one
exists, the other has been
formed)---
a virtual filing cabinet
filled with the charred memories
of failures & brooding angst
that come from years of
neglect & a societal
ignorance
of a single personality
that so quickly
will be swept under the
rug?
could it be that when the
biggest heart is not
nurtured
(as so many other who have
hearts
so much smaller),
that the anger bubbling over,
might swallow it
whole?
could it be that said heart now swallowed
might blacken & infest inside the
angry host,
forcing it to turn cancerous &
from that pure
unadulterated anger,
might come a thrashing out towards those
who neglected, who ignored, who aimed to sweep
said individual
under the rug?
could it be that when all things come to pass &
the now blackened, cancerous & angst ridden
individual,
sees fit to enact a firestorm upon the world around
her/him,
that we will be surprised,
that we will act as if we had no idea,
just as we have done before in the past?
could it be that the responsibility for the
destruction of the biggest heart,
lies in the hands of us all &
that no one is innocent
when it comes to the carnage that
follows?
