Self-Defense - Process Your Anger about the Human Condition

Self-Defense

A familiar scene
Repeated with startling
Regularity.

One person,
Riddled with fear,
Discriminates against another.

The next step is to
Cry foul and insist the
Victim is the perpetrator.

Building a house of
Maudlin self-pity,
Pretending they’re persecuted.

Maiming others
With impunity by
Claiming self-defense.
