In my old neighborhood, when someone is on a roll berating a person with righteous anger, many of us on the sideline begin stoking the flame by shouting encouragement like, "get em, girl!" and my personal favorite, "tell em why you're mad!"
After your 3rd poem, I felt compelled to stand up and shout as your chorus. I feel the power in this.
You captured that character very well ~ Smiling at your dry (but witty) "title" ~
