Peace Meal
Shall we go as one hating each other
this self-indulgent spiral
in the crashing devolution of love
Still we find the bloodied spikes denial
the verbose rendition of enemies
clamoring for their recognition
Have we yet to drink our fill of spite
and in egos clown like mirror
think superior of ourselves
Prefer you then a uniform
so all maybe as equally
where then would derision find it's footing
in such an apathetic peace of security
What collection of flotsam
would mark anyone thus
for some piecemeal part of derision
So convenient then some more or less target
someone who do point the finger at you do
and make of yourself this hollow etiquette
Shall we hate each other
sell ourselves for each baubles disrespect
choose a skin
choose anything an empty soul could contain
Sneer at every wealth of difference
and from the paltry cliques agreements
think superior of ourselves
Shall we be
this plagiarizing conglomeration of something called
individuality
Shall we go as one hating each other
this self-indulgent spiral
in the crashing devolution of love
Does hell have to be the only life changing moment we have
