178.Life's Play

Witnessing the life's play

has me wondering

how easily we slip

in a fit of rage

the best way we mortals
find to get our way

is to drink,swear, shout 

through night and day
so others will keep away

the mark of true sacrifice

happens to be
to purposely cut, bleed,starve

and wander like a vagabond

for that ensures 

others can be treated 

like a heap of dirt 

as they can't do the same

fowl mouthed 

sentiments flow

while the sane have theirs'

snapped between the toes

threats and scorns

are the new instruments of love

mercilessly killing

with vocal spill

swearing in different name

blaming others

is the highlight

of this game

for at that moment
all are players 

doing things when they want;

and angry person
the emotional saint
living never for self

but like a lover

born to ruin himself.
