Trolling

Frenzy                                                 7/12/2016

It only takes a little

And a trickle will do just fine

To troll the water with blood

And do what must be done.

The frenzied feeding comes

Just like you wanted

Thrashing and gorging

On anything in reach. 

Bottomless is the depravity

No matter how cruel

The cannibalistic ritual

Long remembered

With dread.

Vanquished not by words

But only with fury

Hunted down

To ensure survival. 

Day after day of reality

Will teach anyone the truth

If you have eyes to see

All around you everywhere.

A fool will make it fit

Lying to himself and others

Framing logic with a lie

Over and over again. 

Doubled down

And in denial

The fool puffs himself up

Full of arrogance and pride.

As useful a tool as any

For the powerful

To manipulate

And deploy. 

You could see it coming

From a million miles away

Everything in its time

Just before

Or just after. 

Closer now

Than yesterday

The end of the beginning

Burned to a stubble

And gone forever. 

But we who know

Are baptized under fire

Learning what to do

And how to watch. 

Leaning upon

The whole of the words

And not just a line

Unafraid, determined,

Awake, and aware.
