Rage

Rage is the demon of faultless nightmares

 

Rage

By jack

 

Rage aborts the future

In violent belief

A cataclysmic photograph

Albeit often brief

 

Bursting veins of razors

Slashing to the bone

Cutting quick, cutting deep

Ugliness is shown

 

Eyes of burning nature

Words profane a’ flung

Standing firm upon the hand

Gripping tight the wrung

 

Disaster forms the outcome

A sinking ship does sail

For rage shall take the winners

And cause them all to fail

Author's Note

Thank you for reading

"Bursting veins of razors slashing to the bone." Awesome line. Sounds kinda like something I'd write. No wonder it's awesome. Anyway. Great poem Jack.

[Jack...]

Of course...go figure. Thanks my friend.

For rage shall take the winners
And cause them all to fail...

Feeling the anger is fresh, though this piece was written months ago. Unfortunately, rage is always lurking... but so is peace...

[Jack...]

Thank you Rita.

Excellent writing. Gripping. Cohesive. Tight. --David

As human nature we tend to blow up from time to time, those mistakes allow us to not repeat said act, creating a different maybe better outcome. I like how described the anger and passion per each stanza.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much sir.

Wow Jack, have you been there when I've been stirred and beaten by my nightmares...jayus, this says it all, in black and white, vivid, succinct and nailed that demon right on the head! The font and size give it more power, unbelievably moving!

[Jack...]

Wow, thanks Frieda.

Well, this is certainly angry! You make a good point- anger is the detriment and the weakness to a lot of people. I suppose that's why there is anger management :) Thanks for sharing!

[Jack...]

Thank you for reading and commenting, not my normal theme choice.

[Hayley]

it's good to explore then :)

Rage leads to failure. One fit of it can destroy everything you've built up.

[Jack...]

Thanks marie. It was written for the angry poetry contest.
