Rage Poetry

The less guilty eagerly assemble

clutching heavy bags of stones

making saintly small-talk

Casting righteous aspersions

Restless

 

Summoned now one among them

pure and without sin

who will cast the sacramental stone.

The mostly blameless shuffle 

Uneasy

 

One (self-sanctified) steps forward

guiltless hefty stone in hand 

Ah, its you - how nice for you

to finally claim your owed moment

Victorious

 

Oh they'll know you're special

That first fleshy thwack

stone-on-bone meaty splatter,

resultant wretched scream,

Sanctimonious

 

You think you fucking earned this

all your your martyred suffering

all your patient pain - now they'll know

Sinless? Not precisely.
