PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There are few battles

bearing more weight

than the fights against the unapologetic

To build a military

to man these

fleets

for the sins of our silence

dragging our wills through hardship

like a five-year old

pissing on

bedsheets

Uncontrollable in execution

yet preventable if we didn't fill up on refreshments

of ego elixirs

and defensive drinks

No end in sight

and no ground to gain

we both lose.

we all lose.

when the warmth fades

to decaying hues of purple bruise

stagnant gray

and gangrene
