Pity Lebanon

It is sheer folly to deny the virtue (sometimes
dubious) of patience and the inevitability of
consequences (always detrimental). Displace
normalcy with interruption of comforting
expectations and witness the byproduct as
entropy sets in creating anarchy and destruction.

Generalizing hypotheses in human nature
is sometimes confronted by the unexpected
but entirely explicable when rationality becomes
explosively emotional and it is those fiery
irrationalities inspired by the flutter of a butterfly
wing dusting an aggrieved face that ultimately
reveals the slow-to-ignite reaction.

The delusional anticipation of resentful
acceptance no match for the embers of
hatred and desire for revenge so integral to
human nature as the ember is suddenly sparked
and the defenseless suddenly menace as a revolt
brews and violence becomes the ameliorating tool
to strike fear, loathing and vicious response in the
violators' determination to quell disruption.

Tribal, factional, sectarian dissonance
unbridled to glow its malevolence before
fully unleashing as primal savagery incapable
of exhausting itself other than in celebration
of the triumph of degraded misery launching
its deadly carnage of unspeakable atrocities
against perceived tormentors in the
inchoate rage of the dispossessed.

From Inshallah to Alahu Akbar!
