Shield
You can see a fiery stream of delayed concern
Scattered carelessly in the emotion
In the exaggerated encircling of compassion
Shown as false proof in bits of devotion
Spontaneous flickers of suspended movements
Oblivious to thought or care
Briefly promise to abolish the damage imparted
Yet never quite honor anything there
You question the sequence of disgraceful events
With a pleading silent look in your eyes
To find yourself under siege by the fiery stream
As your honesty discloses their lies
Create a severing of ties with the fiery stream
By the slightest move of your hand
Shunning the counterfeit display of compassion
Placing your protective shield in command
