Strike Me Twice
Suddenly found in a situation that would scare,
half an idea, half unaware,
perplexed, yet bare,
I’m here, but where?
enter instinct,
brain unravels threads,
Overdrive instant
Occupy half my head
Into a state with senses heightened, mental survival,
no time for frightened,
taken down unsighted,
impromptu strike,
who’s the fight with?
Who to bite?
This all unlikely
who doesn’t like me
acts impolitely
seems to spite me?
We live in a world of warning
you can sense the storm forming,
but any indications went undetected
negotiations were neglected
just striking me down unexpected
Must be a dictator or total ickhead
Empowered no doubt
there’s a coward about
a pretty little flower
Full of resentment and sour,
when where why, what?
Seems a rival is striking their plot
When where why what?
it's what we’re alive for brings out what you’ve got
the cause?
what sores?
Can’t pause,
it soars,
This is a war they know they can’t win
a sneaky attack from behind to begin
now they go into a silence hiding
find them and give them a bloody good hiding
A sick mind with minion lice
too thick to behave and treat nice
announce to them and warn advice
their war will end if they strike me twice
