The Nefarious Wrath

it should never be domesticated

wrath without empathy

a grievance, perpetually

vilifying the compromise

into "a sign of weakness"

into the notion:

'we will die fighting against this'

rendering all previous sacrifice

      utterly meaningless

without empathy

wrath is just violence

feasting upon flesh

like a vampire

life becomes war

wrath without empathy

a grievance perpetually

Author's Note

Reviews

[Soren]

An interesting pairing of two words, wrath and empathy. These two are not commonly paired together and are often thought of as diametrically opposed. The most interesting writing.

[GlendaK]

Treat People With Kindness ... I like that!

[Davidgeo]

Most people are not inherently kind, would you believe it?

[GlendaK]

Wrath without empathy...you repeat that.

What's going on?

[Davidgeo]

Nothing in particular.

I do think we should be empathetic with our wrath. I think most people would agree. Especially the baby jesus.

[GlendaK]

You are a good person ;)

[Davidgeo]

You must be high

[Davidgeo]

Ha. I should give you my cannabis butter recipe. It's top notch. Turns 28 grams into 8000mgs of edible thc

[GlendaK]

I don't get high. I don't even smoke cigarettes. I have a beautiful boring life!

[Davidgeo]

You should get high off of something. Real life can be cold, do what you can to warm it. Maybe writing is your 'cannabis butter'.

[GlendaK]

It is...I love looking at people

[Davidgeo]

I like to think of writing as looking at yourself. There is something suspect about writers writing for attention to me.

[GlendaK]

Maybe they're hoping to have a career, idk...not me, I just like to write.

[Davidgeo]

If you start by writing for attention you won't have a career. That comes later so I've heard. No one on this site is a writer. We are hobbyists.

[GlendaK]

I think most people are kind by nature. I consider myself a people watcher. I love to look at peoples expressions, their styles and just general pictures they post, asking myself Why?

[Davidgeo]

Most people are not kind by nature on average. You might just be from an overly kind place. If you watch people enough, you will see... we are selfish. Even the nuerotypicals, past a certain age our social circle shrinks... more so every year.

You will see.

[Davidgeo]

Did you vote in this year's presidential election by any chance?

[Davidgeo]

Kindness did not prevail.

[GlendaK]

There wasn't much of a choice. I believe in kindness by nature. People "learn" to be evil.

[Davidgeo]

Humans 'grew' to be "kind". That's a new thing. Our nature is not kind. Even yours. You just don't know it until you know it.

[GlendaK]

Even mine? You mean when I squash spiders?

[GlendaK]

@Davidgeo I would never ever kill a spider on purpose. They are our friends.
