The prophet wails, sounding angry at the world.<\/p>\n
Is the fundamental source of his anger what he says it is? <\/p>\n
Or waxing psychologistic, might we ask whether his rage against the Machine, and all illegitimate authority, is not really just resistance against the madness of his father, the original failed-capitalist sinner against the innocent, the man who saw the world in terms of white sheep and black goats, and never could decide which one he was until the day he presumably died.<\/p>\n
Some days I’m the whiteknight woolly crusader.<\/p>\n
Some days I embrace the curvy flesh of black horned sin in pagan ritual.<\/p>\n
Mostly I live in the gray zone and try to keep the balance of light and shadow perfectly balanced, and the dishes perfectly done.<\/p>\n
I will propose that the obscure genesis of my anger doesn’t matter much–that it is righteous; justified enough either way, at him then and them now.<\/p>\n
In fact, some combination of early trauma crashing into a superfine little mind might have made me uniquely suited for this howling brand of prophecy, ennit.<\/p>\n
