When the Crows Break Free

Chaos follows suit

The boiling pot, Is shaking at its foundations. Subjected to the fire, Forgotten, and left to burn.

Like an angry volcano, Begging for liberation. The waters bubble uncontrollably, Vicious in their movements.

All that’s left, Is the perfect temperature. The one that permits, A volatile eruption.

The toppling point, Of I’ve had enough. That faithful mark, Of no more restraint.

When cuffs are off, And anger is born. The one that demands, You feel it’s wrath.

For all the suffering, And likewise neglect. I warn you friend, They come for your head.

But all this while, The pot has been sealed. And the enraged liberals, Don’t know their oppressor.

This cloaked enemy, By now has heard. That his tortured prisoners, Are rampaging amuck.

They rage unbounded. Knocking everything down in their path, With no guidance, Nor education.

Deep down they want to be loved, But they don’t know how. They want to love, But they don’t know who.

Their anger knows no direction, So they burn and they pillage. All they’ve known is pain, And its all they have to give.

Neglect was their ordeal, Tormenting fires burnt to their soul, Manifesting into bitter retribution. They crusade and they march, vengeance is their only occupation.

On their violent path of mindless destruction, Nothing that breathes is safe from annihilation. Till the powers that be, Organize and pick them apart.

One by one, Till their no more. No more rebellion, Just extinction.

Another sad story told

Two points, I hoped to share. First of which, I wish to address. Are the ones who tortured, And left to burn.

We hear today, Only a few bad apples. So lets assume, Estimation holds true.

The point of piece, Isn’t the number of bad apples. But the dangers presented, In capsizing pot.

If the few bad apples, Still persist. The newly liberated, Are uprooting the tree.

Secondly, I do concede. As time goes on, Their rebellion will break. Death and destruction, to no avail.
