AWOL

Words fly through the air

Missing ears

Leaving a ringing sound for hours

We hide behind our walls

But still get hit

Because our defences aren't strong enough

Or we peeked out at the wrong time

So we wage war!

Our pens a blazing

The ink bleeds

And we can't erase it

We can not rewrite it

Because we are out of ink.

We find solace in hiding

Or desert our teams

Leaving them in battle

To write their own.

Its all pointless now.

Their words still jotted down like machine gun bullets

While yours are written slowly like magnums

But this will never end on its own.

This war needs to go straight to the guillotine

For all to see.

Because it will never take a pistol to its mind

And pull the trigger.
