justified hero

it's the rapidity.
the rapidity of blood flowing
through wide open veins..
veins popping out everywhere,
sweat pouring down..
and the undeniable expression of
anger so picturesque on a face
that's never known a mask..
such anger.
justified anger.

and i hear the Truth in the words
and the energy is contagious.
whether it's through a tiny television screen,
a 20-inch computer monitor, or as
performer to audience member-
the energy is contagious.

and i'm thankful for it.

"The Truth is my shield."
