i am angry and angry

patience i thought was a virtue

not forgotten about in painful anger

is that what i'm feeling?

pain or anger? or perhaps both?

its amazing the terror within the human heart

i sit in awe at the delight of evil all around

i absolutely do not want to confirm the horrible intentions

on faces so familiar and images too distant to recognize

i'm angry and wondering- what's hope and endurance

what is opportunity and a second chance.

should everyone be pardoned again?

what is a mistake and what is an excuse?

oh that power would love to know

and cover the coverable and maim the guilty

i am angry and pushing my mind to understand

why poverty might not be a curse

but a self inflicted wound that might never heal

it amazes me and terrifies my flesh.

who deserves pardon?

who deserves mercy?

who deserves a second chance?

can someone tell me?
