Red Empire
July 20, 2015
Anger has an ugly face.
It fumes black, thick smoke,
Mixed with deep, red fire.
With a short fuse,
Anger slowly builds its empire,
Destined to collapse.
Every single indignation, a building block.
The walls begin to expand,
Calamity welcomed.
A single ember,
Thrown into fury’s citadel,
An empire ablaze.
A fire so bright,
An unstoppable cataclysm.
Wrath’s overture has begun.
