SALVE: SHABDAAWEG
Unacceptable
A raw response to salve
Dear diary, I find myself submerged in emotions I’d rather not.
I saw a man; no, a coward in a bar flirting with women,
filming his ugly charred soul to show off to his friends back home or wherever, while his girlfriend, feeling left out,
was sitting chin on hands at the bar.
I feel revulsion at this man. I wanted him to get into my space,
bump into me, knock my drink over; I wanted an excuse to knock him on his sorry arse. I wanted to do a whole lot more; I wanted to make him suffer over and over, hear him begging for forgiveness through his blood, tears and regret, then give him more suffering.
Just for his arrogant flirting, upsetting his girlfriend, diary?
Of course not. I didn’t give a damn about his girlfriend; she needed putting in her place too; verbally, of course. You see diary, she is also part of the problem.
I wanted to see him/them suffer the way they make his wife and three-year-old daughter suffer, putting up with his antics, flaunting his family wealth, buying the attention of the many women he has staying at his families restaurant.
This is torture for his wife, who he does not share a room with; his daughter, even though young, must suffer confusion.
What business is this of mine, diary? It’s not my business.
However, I do want to make it my business when a man beats a woman again and again; sometimes on the street for our neighbours to witness, neighbours who pretend to be tough, not doing a fucking thing to stop this
wife-beating coward! Cowards themselves in my book.
Why is the bar owner allowing this coward to drink there? Is there no shame in this world diary!?
I feel this anger rising further inside me; festering.
The more information I find out about this rancid inhuman being, the more eagerly I look forward to his reckoning.
All meet their Karma one day; dear diary.
