anger in any form is anger,
naked and pure.
righteous indignation is never righteous.
indignation is nothing more
than anger poorly
dressed in finer clothes.
when a wave of anger rises
the crowd smells blood
demanding heads and vengeance
which drowns calmer voices
beneath its roiling red tide.
socially speaking
we’re not very social
except when driven mad with rage
as we wage another war
communally justified.
