Peaceful countenance is kept.
Anything is fine...opinions cast aside.
Settles for easy solutions.
Seated deeply in comfortable habits,
In the grip of subtle fears.
Victim played well...plenty of practice.
Endeavoring to keep the status quo.
Anger hot as a solar flare
Grating at nerves for needed release.
Gasping geyser of fury.
Rage ruptures, rapidly flowing
Eating everything in its path...
Scorching flesh
Scarring spirit
Incinerating perceptions
Vast wasteland left in the wake
Extreme opposites, where's the integration?
