Shots Fired
Ever feel like the closer you are to the sky
Your confidence expands so you think it’s safe to lose the ladder
Then your feet slip, a screw loosens, it’s now an uphill battle
What’s that cliche phrase we all say? You get thrown from that horse but the next day
Get right-
Back on that saddle
We’re human, every ego gets bruised and battered
Change the channel ———
I devised a plan to generate-
Mayhem
Pull the trigger, strike a chord
It’s fun and games
Until someone’s brain gets spattered
Where’s the laughter
It’s dead silent
Death pays out like riches
Enough of the friendly gimmicks
This is a warning:
Never wage a war
You don’t intend to finish
Look! That could incite a riot
Wait ..
Do us all a favor and immediately
!Ceasefire!
Voices everywhere as loud as sirens
I said I wanted pea- -
Let me finish
“Peaceful violence”
Dez Sevena

"Peaceful Violence"! Such a deep paradox; yet, well understood. ONE. PEACE AND LOVE.
