coup d' tat

by Beth - Scorpio

I sensed the dark taste of your mind
an undertow of pulsing rage
All the powers of the seven seas
within your soul; barely contained.
A mine field of burning passions
A tsunami of turbulent ire
The thunder of revolution
flashes from your pensive eyes
Revelling in the shadows
welcoming what most refuse to face
knowing that the darkness
Is a glorious, beautiful place
Sparking embers of ignorant protest
from those that can't comprehend
too narrow and shallow to see past their nose
bitter until their end
Blazing a trail of anarchy
You set the world aflame
the self-righteous  want you buried
they can't counter play your game
You beat them down with passion
they try to strip you of morality
can't fathom that there are other ways
stuck in their conformity
I taste the darkness of your mind
Flames of revolution flickering in my eyes
I won't give up my freedom
I'd rather burn on their pompous pyre.
