I
S/He failed to follow their
frail, hard hearts
into the fallow,
unhallowed ground.
II
The insecure,
obscure,
insincere souls,
poisoned by their
self-appointed and
shared
sense of injustice
and the sheer
unfairness
of their invisibility,
chose to leave their
mark
in the form of a
wound
and a lasting scar.
Intent? To blame the
innocent
of untrue offenses.
Mothers warned their
children
that most accusers
lay the blame on
someone else
when it is they themselves
who have done said crime
—will do it again
(to others before
it is done to them)
so they can
experience
self-righteous
justification.
III
The purpose of such
furor (of what
Bellow,
after Wyndham Lewis,
called the Moronic Inferno)?
That through their
judgement without
evidence and without
questions to accused,
the innocent,
the unsuspecting
victim
should feel
like a war criminal
and find himself,
or herself,
pilloried before
going up
in shameful ashes,
to disappear,
and to be shunned by
all
after their all-out
—covert
—public attack
on his/her character and
words.
Sorry, kin and
kindred.
S/He doesn’t.
Acquaintances are
more
faithful than you.
The character and
words
in question need no
defending to the
intentional
misreading by the
malicious
scandalmongers
who chose sealed
doors
to their social media
war room,
that excluded their
victim,
for their private plans
and plots
to shroud unsuspecting
friends
with their bitterness
and lies.
Depressing is the
knowledge
their complaints are
vexatious and
faite de mauvaise foi;
they are too much
in a conspiratorial
climax
to see the trees in
the painting of the forest.
And, too, a continued
ironic spectacle from
those
once considered
intelligent...
they still take
hostage
those considered his/her friends
and acquaintances,
and continue
to take up their
contemptuous poison
ensuring their attacks
are hidden from the
innocent.
IV
Beware all who happily
share
your joy and
possessions
freely and without
expectations.
There will be repercussions
from those close but
whom
are unable to see it
is
their own discontent.
