All or None

In love and war nothing is ever the same, it’s either all or none *
I may carry a rifle
But she
fires
the
gun

Gifts From the Gods

If,
a rape baby is a
Gift
from imaginary friends
Then,
Erectile disfunction and infertility
Are gifts, too
From the same imaginary friends
Just to name a few

Compensation

Hell and Heaven
Hath No Fury
Like Woman
Scorned
Of the World
Rightfully Owed,
But Hoarded
By men.

inverted tombstones
mirroring concrete gallows

Trappings

Walls keeping out that which we do not understand.
Ignorance, hoarding oxygen,
Relegates all else to life support.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Howling a roar

a wolf howled  wearing a lion’s skin
thinking  it would  sound  like a roar
how long can you lead’em  with fear
the sheeps  aren't  scared  anymore

Sometimes too much
blinds us to how much

On Achieving Balance

Nothing rests
until balance is achieved.
On achieving balance... it is lost

for balance is always
in the process of becoming.
