BULLET 5-27-20
I heard your gun last night!
You fired off your anger!
A warning into the night,
my name anonymous written on the explosion of your unspoken threat!
A promise..
..unspoken to the few and the demons that possess you!
To me,
..to whatever you deem control-able,
....or maybe beyond your control!
Shall I fear my death?
Your reprisal?
..more than the denunciation of a life..
..reduced to cowering inside four walls
hoping you don't hear us?
..hear me? Or..
Shall I ride your anger?
..your hatred of life?
....of yourself?
......of me?
Shall I surf the waves of animosity?
...venting out your skin like watching heat waves from the sun beating on black pavement?
..an odor of passive-aggresive malice
wafting like a dark nimbus round your body like a shield!
Shall I ride above the fray?
..of your frayed character?
..for my children,
...for my life?
Remember..
Only a bullet lovingly coated with hatred can stop time!
