MADD.ANGER

They are fascinated by the anger
white blue and smoldering
thinly disguised:
Learned
by rote civilized
machinations
foster
fetters
They are uneasy with
my
Unlearning.
They are amazed that
I have remembered who I am
Wednesday's child fed on woe
survived to rize again
like Lazarus
armed with will, free
hazardous
They fear me because I see them
hunched like trolls
over a collective caldron of humanity
Mac Beth's witches made flesh
gobbling up creation
farting out destruction
In lucre they trust
Spinning out webs
of entrapment
Harvesting humanity
"Come and believe as I believe,
Work and die for me,
Close your eyes no need to see,
