Two poets who couldn't agree
Decided that they'd make three.
They went downtown  
Clowned around
But awoke just to flee.

When a warrior bleeds,
he is remembered as a hero,
slaying innocence
at the tip of the king's tongue.

Yet, when the same man
spills the same blood
for his own cause,
he is a murderer.

Tell me, which is
Justified?

You may bark louder than I roar.
But barking is for dogs,
and roaring is for lions.

You test a dog on his flight
and a bird on it's bark,
and where are we now?

You teach man to hold a sword
and tell him that his cause is true,
and where are we now?
Where are we now?

You hand the man a book of life
and tell him to abide by it,
and where are we now?

You tell the man of new land
and assure him that it's his,
and where are we now?
Where are we now?

You teach the man to love his brother
and tell him to remember the past,
and where are we now?

You hand the man a bomb
and tell him his cause is right,
and where are we now?
Where are we now?


You stare at the rubble
and curse the heavens above, screaming
"Where are they now?"
But never questioning how we got here.

There is no way
to measure
the weight of a
mother's heart.
Be it the training wheels
you play in my life,
or the assistance
you aid me with,
It's safe to say
I owe you everything.
Because there is no
weight
on a grateful
son's heart.

Step around
left before right,
then
right before left,
skipping through
this field of daisies.
But watch child,
there is darkness in your heart,
evil in your eyes.
You must be careful of the void,
my dark gates
are always open
for a dark soul.
But in my gates,
this void in my chest,
you will find hell.
The hell that fills
this void
that you choose to
dance around.
because you.
my love,
you are evil.
You are the hell in me.
You will forever
live in my void.
