The truth is
I have not got the edge
over you
I'm playing God
and you're the devil in disguise
peeking into my lonely life
cutting me from every angle
and I don't even know it.
The ambassador of all things reasonable
and good
is on holiday
on vacation
now I must step up
and pulverise you
and take what I'm owed.
You stretch out with a punch
that could knock over my feelings
like domino's, like a wall of cards,
thankfully you don't touch me
you miss and look at me with deceitful eyes.
The colour of this moment
is red
we both see red
and we both want to attack
the throne will be yours or mine
no knifes or batons
no discouragement or arrogance
just iron fists and two toothless mouths.
