Undoing
distraction has its side effects
attraction has its side effects
every betrayal has side effects
all betrayal is one-sided and cuts
the tradition is to know and keep quiet
____________ bleed and be quiet
____________ dream and stay awake
emotion has its side effects
lust has its side effects
perception has several altered states
contradiction is saying to be quiet
swallow to be forgotten
side effects
we are all side effects
of a void full of nothing
of a mad dog's howl
of a life torn apart by god

good morning dearest Par this is an interesting perspective and you may be right...I always just try to be the best me I can given the circumstances say for instance in what I see if it conflicts with what my moral compass sees and rejects i try to inject something beautiful into the situation it's hard to do but needed I understand where you're coming fromt though we are at the mercy of something larger than ourselves and we are quiet while terrible things happen we don't know why I am grateful for my life no matter the case...showing due respect while still giving my thoughts to God I am honest with him about my dismay at times... great write 💕
