Lean to and fro…
Starting to gain momentum…
Just like as we did as kids…
To start the swing
To swinging…
Knowing
there is such a thing,
Like birds..
To get to winging it…
Sweet lullabies…
References to
Compare ...and contrast...
Now and then… looking back
Closely,,,
Somewhere, lost
Between the pages
With a grace… dropped to us
In stages
…we have learned to face…
Great tests …from ages,
Ancient past…
Now come ...the evil ones
Come …back again...
We hear the killing noise…
Once... a distant thunder
now… with the presence
of lightning
Closing …fast…
Now… finding
We’re back to back,
Under constant attack…
We’re out of space…
out of time…
Nowhere to run
…moments closing in…
To ground zero…
Be you a coward
…or a hero
All that matters now
…is how, you
choose to end it…
Nobody’s watching,
but you…
...who knows?
The secret
…is yours...
not just another phase
To keep to yourself…
No heroes welcome
…to be staged
No promised land
…to save…
Perhaps,
No survivors…
No …surrender,
Not even
a marker
On a grave
Launch code
…to life...
Prepare,
for …the incoming
Attack...
Know that
…whatever
You stand for...
Are more than words,
Live it, breathe it,
With all you’ve got…
More than just…
Soul foods
Another flurry
Of menu items
Of clever adjectives
Delicious verbs
On neat little lines
With flourishes
Like so many
Snappy little hooks
Catchy tunes,
And rhymes
No more …time
For prayer
Time
…to rise
Or fall…
Seek it,
Be it
