the arsehole in me

the arsehole in me stands railing at the unjust world
, where ignorance & entitlement walk hand in glove

the arsehole in me protests endothermically, endlessly whir-
ring permutations of immediate & vengeful schadenfreude

the arsehole in me is never the better person, is always
right(eous), indignant unforgiving, unyielding

; un-everything.

The arsehole in me never does anything, never
leaves the cage he angrily rattles, never sees the
bigger picture, or the needs of others, unless projected
through my own need to divest guilt. I look hard at
the arsehole in me,  and i think:

¡what an arsehole!
