Anger Unrestrained

Does the night allow one to decry their state
of affairs as turmoil turns to tragedy
with headlines
absorbing the horror
of a deed done and images to forget?

Later in the news of tomorrow’s ink an
inevitability of circumstances
is shouted from the tallest limbs
when action is circumvented by might
and a weapon of destruction
is used with improper thoughts

maiming and destroying innocents
once having umpteen days to live for---

brutal home invasions
madness leading to destructive urges
and enduring self-afflicted pain.
