The RAGE

The RAGE
by
Robin Hall, aka Fucked

When the RAGE comes, what do YOU do?

Now I don't care about what you do anymore than you care what I do of course.

The RAGE is more than care, beyond words, "sharing," love, choice, wishes, intent.

Its more than we are capable of handling. Its more than anyone can tolerate, "deal with" or other horse shit.

The RAGE consumes us, friends, family, others.

It knows no bounds.

It has no end.

It is us, and not us.

We are burned by its fires from within.

Burned but not cleansed. Nothing is accomplished, no one gains, no one wins. It burns all, produces nothing, is spent and we are scarred by its coming and going just like the others are, but we are still here while the others usually are not.

They were burned too and left.

Relationships, the good ones, suffer from it. Family and friends suffer. Sometimes the law is involved and we are drowned in a system that cannot help stop it. This system is the cause for some, the end for others.

The RAGE is seemingly demonic. It will eat you, your loved ones, society.

Terrorists living in perpetual RAGE, cause untold pain to decent societies.

Many criminals live in fluctuating RAGE that consumes much of their lives but is not theirs by choice or design.

Insane folks like me live in the same fluctuating RAGE that we barely keep in check when it hits IF, IF, IF we are lucky and live alone, separated from others specifically TO give the others freedom from the RAGE.

We break things in the RAGE. We break others, damage most, piss on what is good in our lives and WHILE IN THE RAGE, don't give a shit.

None of us want it.

No one deserves it.

Its part of many of us; we try to ignore it and it EATS US ALIVE.

We turn to a wide variety of drugs for relief. NONE help or stop the RAGE. None CAN stop the rage.

Alcohol, one of the scourges of mankind, is a two way sword. For some, it stops everything, even the RAGE, but at the cost of our livers, kidneys, lives, "souls". For some, booze makes the RAGE worse, is part of the cause. Its dangerous to palliate with this legal liquid, yet none of the prescriptions do more.

HEY, FUCK YOU IF YOU ARE SO STUPID TO IGNORE THIS, BELIEVE DIFFERENTLY, CALL IT A CHOICE. YOU are the ones who are going to get hurt IF you encounter someone in the middle of the RAGE and you better the fuck well HOPE they have found a way TO palliate whether its fucking crack, alcohol, heroin, pot etc.

Further, the fucking morons who KEEP drugs illegal, you are the ones I am chatting with in this. Legalize all of the drugs, monitor the results like which of them calm the RAGE, then change your inane laws.

Start with pot. Does a single one of you religious fanatics who keep the laws so restrictive KNOW a pot user who has committed a violent crime while in the RAGE?

OK, enough said? Add your own notes if you like.
