Wrath Poem by John Sensele

Wrath like a wraith evokes expiry
Where possibilities of redemption peter to nil
But does life despite betrayal and a banter in a diary
Amount to a distillation of hopes into a fatal deal?

Wrath like refuse portrays the impression
Of goods and services no longer valued
Or is a conundrum an opportunity for oppression
To end and for renewal and rebirth to be pursued.

Wrath like a cauldron burns not just combustible materials
But catalyses instances where gems and germs
Together walk out of the door through factorials
Worked out inadvertently when on a rocky scene spring tricky charms.

Wrath like boson particles may prove elusive
If signals from proton and electron colliders give readings
Which when misinterpreted and misread can be ineffective
To the extent where nourished by darkness wrath hurts feelings.

Wrath like a spy cries, sighs, lies, dies and plies trades
That wreak destruction, disintegration, delusion and demolition
Of long held, long appreciated, long cherished bonds
Nourished, nurtured, negotiated and navigated with deep devotion.
