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.
