No One Is Safe
No One is Safe, 2010
V. Ortiz Vazquez
Four letter word
Endless possibilities
Either way full of weight
Travels around the world
Around the world, no corner untouched
No one is safe
Discriminates no one
At times disguise under a three letter word
Misunderstood by many
Misuse by a handful
Becoming lethal, dangerous
Controlling until the lost of the senses
The accused and the defendant
Four letter word
Pursue by many
Reached by some
Trapped by others
Never ending story with its’ endless possibilities
Triumphant with occasional defeats
Four letter word
Always accompany by her enemy
Never too far, ready to strike
Sadly victorious
Sought by few
Rejected by many
Crunches not too far behind
Not too far behind a shadow
Creeping through the cracks
In the blood stream he goes
Addicted, consumed, no ending in sight
Drained, no energy
Lost, gone
Four letter word comes and goes
If you lucky she will stay
A sign of weakness his home
Trap. Freedom becomes you
Comes and goes, four letter word
A sign of weakness his home
If you lucky she will stay
Trap. Freedom becomes you
Four letter word comes and goes
If you lucky she will stay
A sign of weakness his home
Trap. Freedom becomes you
