My Birthright is Rage

I am so consumed with subtle rage.
I feel it clogged in my pores,
wedged in the creases of my bones. 
It is caught in my teeth and settled in the lines of my smile.
I shouldn't be this angry all the time; 
He contributed directly to the cultural environment that made participation in deportations, discrimination, and ultimately genocide seem moral and patriotic.
I am.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
