Captain Chaos

 

Captain Chaos
owes its very existence
to constant friction

A creature of turmoil
spawned from disunity

Can not exist in serenity

Peace is its kryptonite

So it pokes the hornet's nest
whenever its powers wane
and ravenously feeds
off the negative energy
supplied by
the growing legions
of both allies and enemies

A perilous game the beast plays
inciting tension's double edged domain
but since conflict is all it knows
hatred remains the premium rocket fuel
which propelled the gargoyle to the top

Now bolstered by the authority

and power of institutional legitimacy

the forces of hatred are emboldened

to creep out of the shadows

Of course the poison spewed
will splatter the fiend
impotent eventually 
as it has throughout history
on all rabid dog demagogues

This comforting assumption
is based on the calculation
our dangerously deranged captain
does not annihilate us first
