Aristotle’s Anger



Aristotle’s Anger

When the irreverent takes the stand it’s never bland
View the pews and watch the faithful stand
After fire came the rain too late, like mocking laughter
Listen to it reverberate as once more they pander

This protest against faith, imagination’s lust
Don’t even try corroborate for there’s hatred for brain trust
They detest humanness and believe there’s original sin
The ultimate unearned guilt bin

It’s all Her will you see, so anger is your fault too
Never mind the dead angels, they just jumped too soon
No sense or nonsense, why not, it’s all belief
There’s a catcher in the rye after all, Holden would smile, oh such relief

Is it fear or faith that grips, they’re both walls of slips
No matter how much you climb, emotion is all you’ll find
Never forget Salem, that self-destructive town
Where faith ran amok as New England ran aground
