Iconoclast (115 of 365)

Day 115 of the 365 day poem challenge.

Word of the day iconoclast meaning: "someone who attacks cherished ideas or institutions."

Iconoclast 

You must serve the greater good

You must persevere against spittle rebuke and condescension

You must decide to be better

You must

You must avoid staples of vulnerability

You must stare cold and straight

You must ignore your suffocating anxiety 

You must

You must conquer insurmountable dread 

You must have courage 

You must have a strong stomach 

You must beat them down

You must crush them if they do not listen

You must

You must forget everything else

You must realise nothing else is relevant

You must beat and hurt and punish

You must succumb to violence

You must be violence

You must avoid the impulse to self destruction 

You must project self assurance

You must do the impossible

You must remove anything from you

Which will not assist.

You must.
