Fragmented Logic

Fragmented Logic

Peace becomes those whose stance is trained as such 
And those who legitimize fate speak fact

Several lethal injections from twelve weapons
They target the mind from the heart with shelled lessons

I am a bird trapped in the stairwell leading to life
I am a train track a fence beyond imprisonment

Sip then drink then gulp then talk then sit down
Then stand with cup in hand grabbing bottles

Thirsty gusts of wind raise only the gray strands of hair
Wagging off of a face creased from years of strained eyesight

See The Play Before It Happens Then React!
Shoot the gap after the snap and Then Wrap Up!

gimme grammar gluttons only gobble over
faster feet to snatch her I could stumble on her

                  But she walks away
                  when all I wanted to say
                  is Happy Birthday!
