Rage at the Outrage
Archived under My Poetry .
Rage.
The word
is years away
from describing the turmoil
of heat and anguish within me
The word
does no justice
to express my disgust
at the injustice before my eyes
The word
fails to heal
the deep red marks
left on my hands from hours of clenching
The word
is unable to erase
the marks of tears
that linger on my cheeks
The word
does nothing
Absolutely nothing
To help my brethren in Palestine
Yet
Rage
Is what I feel
Then thaws into helplessness
At the outrage
An outrage.
