Some prose I wrote. Very feelings. Meant to be taken as a positive.

​

Open and shut

Calling into the hearts of those so burned

One would have thought we had enough tragedy

Yet you want to keep it alive

Going on and on through the ages

No matter how many souls lie slain

Battered and beaten men fallen to the chains

Until they can no more scream

Unlit the voices cry to the pyre

This fire is few and many a fighter

Please don’t mistake me

Agony bared is to blame

Sister against brother in this shameless game

We are all one

But separate

Together hands held

Apart futures askew

Perfecting compliments abolishing the crime

Neither what was wanted but all do the time

We can be free

Healed and happy

Please don’t misunderstand

I only want what was planned

Safety and love

Honesty and honor

The greatest of pursuits

Now fed fat lambs to the slaughter

So abused

Some women lay empty

Some in elation

Scorned and afraid

Excited and free

Callous and crafty

Few ruin the same

Hold onto your heart and don’t turn it all to ash

I don’t know from where this is coming

All of these feelings alight

Seeing how it could be

Broken by what is

Please try and do right
