Don't Tell Me Not To Vent!

AuburnScribbler

 

A virtuous patient, that stays in line,

could; in spirit, commit a crime,

for living in someone else’s shade,

stirs up the pot, of who’s to blame,

 

so, ones who’ve always waited their turn,

become a torch, to start the burn,

thus, their words, become like fists,

to those who cause, all red mists,

 

their built-up torrent, is not abuse,

to bosses who decide, to refuse,

in order for change, to fly so proud,

bad plans, need to go underground,

 

as brutal admonishment, can resolve,

perhaps tell Parliament, they’re dissolved,

as those elected, are the reapers,

who cash in corpses, for their leaders,

 

they make sure terms, are screamed out,

to make sure critics, aren’t in doubt,

for immoral brokers, that tap supplies,

can’t get away, when they dehumanise,

 

and to those who are, the poster children,

they tell them, they could be in cauldron,

Gen-Zs, then ask, “could you be calmer?”

a reason perhaps, for new Jeffrey Dahmers,

 

they then take a breath, that’s truly earned,

for now their health, is their concern

they then look over, with focused face,

to see if suits, switch attaché case,

 

but, talking monkeys, are the reign,

thus, such hot air, falls down the drain,

there’s not much love, to be content,

when yelling, “don’t tell me not to vent!”

  • Comment from author about the poem: In a world where mankind is running the show, there will always be something to be angry about, and when someone is told not to vent, something dangerous and catastrophic most likely occurs. From the wars at home and at work, to the wars on an international scale on Earth, wrath is practiced to it's excess, meaning that on the surface of things, hate is easy to find, but love is not. The system that humanity has created, with it's continuous horrendous operation, means that vents from you, them, and us, will always be, but I hope that the goal, that unites us, is some peace, as surely such a torrential downpour has to have it's breaks, or if at all possible, a much longer hiatus. The accompanying chosen sketch, entitled "The grumpy man vented his anger by punching the table", screams out appropriation, and is from shutterstock.com by the artist azmeyart. The accompanying banner picture, I also thought apt, as it resembles a cage, as humanity, in it's disgusting divisiveness, makes most of us into animals, and therefore, our lives could be compared to beasts living in a zoo. I hope that you enjoy the poem, I hope that you are having a calm day, if not, make sure to stand your ground, and as always, please do stay everyone.
