Diatribe of a Bitter God
by priscilla brett

obligatory and instigatory
i think i've had enough
all your petty nonsense
stupid, thoughtless stuff
your anger and your hatred
i despise that thing that hates
i hate the bitter anger
I loath that it abates
you sit and argue senseless
a mockery of man
a thing of no real knowing
i doubt you ever can
revolting and invoking
all things in me filled
with anger, hate and pity
for a thing to being willed
you, given so, so little
cheated, cast from plan
you sit there simply being
that thing i hate most
man
