the passive revenger

the passive revenger

A Poem by delapruch
"

na.

"

s/he hasn’t an aggressive bone

in her/his body, at least not one you

can see &

when you pass him/her on the street,

you’d thing s/he had f*****g angel

wings on her/his back,

even if, as i, you’d not believe that

such things exist

even if there was a gun barrel pressed

to your

temple---

the passive revenger puts his/her

hope in

“karma,”

believing that there is some kind of

personal boomerang which will

come flying round

after an a*****e has left one’s life

to crack them upside the head

when they least expect it---

said individual things that

there is some kind of

“divine justice,”

even if they don’t put a label on it,

because they want to make things

“right,”

without getting their own hands

dirty---

such is the sullen violence of a

coward,

such is the quiet & ridiculous nature of

a hypocrite who

tells us that they “forgive”

whilst holding the want for blood

close to their heart &

glowing like roaring red embers in

their mind.
