they remain hidden
just far enough beneath
they remain unnoticed
sharp and jagged
polluted with anger
spoiled with resentment
they seethe and boil
sheer logic holds them at bay
a thin line of defense
bolstered by a desire for peace
they try to creep out
ooze up ease in
succeeding sometimes
when the system falters
by virtue of exterior malfunction
it cannot be helped
failsafe explodes in a torrent of
malfeasance and barbarity
words battling words until
nothing remains unsaid
