Being 'tempered' and 'powered' by the fires of life.

Emotions like anger and disgust motivate,

bring big energy to change existing circumstance

if aimed at problem, not at oneself,

even though I perpetrated the predicaments,

those unwanted situations that demoralize,

make me question, wonder my intellect,

how thought process got me irritably here

feeling a bind which threatens everything

because there's desire to tear asunder

the apathetic normalcy I've accepted,

this glass house trying to accommodate opposites,

a good little conformist, and disgruntled rebel,

latter being pacified if all goes well,

but when things go badly, unexpectedly so,

due to discerning 'edge' having been softened

which allowed for missed details over long period,

in hindsight judged as lost opportunities to progress,

then the 'Mad Celt' wants to cleave,

wreak havoc on old debilitating structure,

throw out and burn all that kept me asleep,

dull, satisfied with little civilized ideas, comforts,

my routines, philosophy, and world view

giving false sense of controlled satisfaction,

where in ashes, rubble, once known as complacency,

I'd search, discover the powerfully worthy real truth

to fuel rebuilding inexhaustible fiery core.
