Reality

See culture’s mirror
Brutality’s rough edges
Reality’s pain

Invective and rage,
Today’s social currency.
Fire consuming all

Joyously brutal
Sinister satisfaction
Crushing all delight

You rage against me
Simply because I exist.
Windswept barren sand.

Girls spend
Much time
Debating their lack,
Chewing their soul
With vigor.

Always some fault,
This culture determined
To keep their place
Defining them
By false
Inadequacy.

Violence doesn’t heal.
Tis a short term thing,
Self-inflicted grief
Building upon agony.

Simmering wreckage,
Quite close to home.
New destruction layered
Upon the old.

Gargantuan pachyderm
Calmly sits,
Ignored.
