Charging Towards Justice

Charging Towards Justice

A Poem by Briana O'Connor
"

Formally named "The Color That Enraged Him"

"

Psyching himself up,

The matador, he readies,

Preparing for showtime,

His fortune and fame.

His outfit, it glimmers

With an essence of arrogance.

Gizmos and gadgets

Arranged to draw attention.

His hat, it’s underlining

With a flaunting air,

Complimenting his costume,

Adding taste to tenacity.

His body, it’s robust,

Agile and strapping.

He flexes and poses,

Feeding off the crowds ado.


His smile, it broadens

Spreading to a sadistic grin.

He holds out his hand

Introducing his guest of honor.

His subject, he enters,

Begrudgingly by force,

Despising its duties,

Longing for the justice he deserves.

The duo, they begin,

As the flag leaves its case.

The wind makes it dance,

And the animal is released.


The bull, it charges,

Running towards the man,

The one that enrages him

With that color in his hand.

His hooves, they trollop,

Stirring up dust in tornado like swirls.

His nose, it twitches,

Flaring from the anger,

Fuming with anticipation.

His eyes, they flicker,

Glaring at the ripple of the flag.

The finish line, it’s nearing,

Forging a malicious smirk.

The bull, he’s ready

with his horns set to brand.
