i wanted to rage

i wanted to rage against the
steel man made man:
to forget my love and
embrace some madness.
i wanted to point my finger
indignat with justice:
to forget my love and
embrace some madness.
i wanted to die a broken,
starved and forgotten child:
to forget my love and
embrace some madness.
i wanted to hold history
up as the great ideal:
to forget my love and
embrace some madness.
i wanted God to bless my
religion and curse all others:
to forget my love and
embrace some madness.
i wanted the golden life
without regard for my spirit:
to forget my love and
embrace some madness.
i wanted you to be my
slave and perfect lover:
to forget my love and
embrace some madness.
to remember my love
and embrace peace:
i want to know you only
as perfectly innocent, and
to this i dedicate my life.
