i fear in anger
and frustration i will snap
and hurt someone if

if I don't know how to
fight socially, it seems like here people use their snobbery and elite natures
as a weapon to put down others period, just because they can, and real violence is a real choice,acting in a way one cannot resist

I can't be violent, I don't want to be

Should Haiku mention
a season such as summer

well, those who forget
to value life, sf, don't
really value themselves

it's kind of pathetic

i think it just sounds
a lot like those professional
wrestler monologues
sometimes only with
more erudite language
you can be good poets
with insight but one
needs to be cautious of
anyone who calls
anyone else a poseur
because they are often
hypocrites or failed artists

i've dealt with the kings
of college, unhappy but
the lie is that I

buy into their self
placed godhood, and ignore my
own ideals and thoughts

distracted by the
urge to kill, correct, humble
all the self same wrong

and i with logs in
my eyes, condemned to lash out
at the useless pride

that provokes the stand of pride
