Beyond hubris

Is it even possible to pretend not to see anymore?

By Mo DarasiPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Devilish countenance unhidden

clear words of violence unhidden

shameless thoughts at the forefront unchecked

yet no one believed when he said “Amalek…”

our world broken beyond repair. Theirs in despair

open acts of animalistic drudgery folding the earth over

What is human life?

It is not possible that they believe what they say

yet the whole world chooses to believe them and still say “they have the right to defend themselves…”

This is beyond hubris.

Images seared into our minds yet they tell us sit back and unwind?

they believe us idiots or blind?

have they forgotten who put them in their place?

elected to act on our behalf but seems like the old adage is true… “absolute power corrupts absolutely”

but is it absolute? They can be dragged down, but the problem is we forgot our place too.

we have the power to give and take

to break the abusers away from their place

and break the system to wake people to reality

Shouldn’t they relinquish their place if we say enough?

Do we have the right to go out and be rough?

Some think other avenues were exhausted…

Who am I to say.

Author's note: not sure if this counts as a poem... more of a rant really.

I write fiction, poetry and occasional articles about interesting topics.

Finding interesting ways to write a poem or hide messages within them seems to be my main interesting in writing now, and it's been fun
