Peace After Violence Is Like Being Dead To The Killer
I'm a seargent
back pressed against
A war mess
Bomb threats
Gun sputters spit
Another one of my brothers hit
Sunk in muck
I spin, duck,
And dump lead on a truck recieving luck
Watching the wheels slow
To a stop the driver slumps motionless red
Others climb out enlivened
Scared, fired, burnt, flown in air
Blown apart
I fear
someone is behind me
Turning, looking so frantic
I'm blindly groping for movement
nothing
I remember how to roll when ducking
Patrol when reloading my gun
Clicking trigger firing none
Pivoting back and forth
Behind barriers and all sorts
of positions I contort
Killing people like its a game of sport
Pain is good unless its immobilizing
I shot the man who knife stuck me
now I'm sterilizing
The night struck me like a bullet
Because peace hit as quick
The fight was over and won
And felt everlasting like I was dead and done.
