HALLUCINATING ANGER
Hallucinating anguished anger
In the form of twisted hieroglyphs of hatred
With piercing probing eyes
That splinter X-ray beams of botulistic brooding
Externally cool
Internally seething
Radiating gamma rays
Of rabid radical revolutionary creativity
From churning whirlpools of manic tortured
Washing machine mentality
Smiling fury formed in thunder
From twisted tungsten coated barbs of words
Lone windows to the thoughts
marinating in hormonal juice
Cornered
Chained
And dangerous
Opher April 26th 1995
Something annoyed me. I did not record what it was.
It was probably some cruelty towards animals, deforestation programme or casual act of pollution.
It might have been the mindless act of a fanatic fundamentalist.
Those are the two areas that really get me angry.
I am constantly amazed by the propensity towards stupidity of such intelligent creatures as human beings. I am incredulous at our ability to dispense hatred and violence.
As a species we must learn to control our emotions.I write them out into poems. It’s cathartic.
