Month: June 2020
Eyes ringing, ears bleed
I am sputtering incoherent rage
Seething above a cold and ancient
Monster
Waiting to be freed from shackles
Forged in blood and promises
Cold heart breaks free from warm blood
Two trapped wolves
Salivating at the thought of meat
Long deprived
The long knives wait for willing hands
Wait until will breaks
Until at last the shield of empathy
Of hope and joy
Dies
Until only memories and copper strength
Vie for attention
So begins a war in the heart of one man
So begins a war in us all
Fear wakes the leviathan
When infection and rot eats the heart of a tree it must be cut down. When that tree is left to fester, it’s infection spreads until not one healthy tree is untainted. When this happens, do we let the trees poison and infect the land? Or do we burn it out?
Nature burns down forests to renew them.
Our nation has fostered rot at its heart for too long. Its time to burn it out.
