The Commitment

The lesion was 
spreading. From 
    inside, I hear the wails.

Past and present 
of time, plows 
    the furrows, in future.

Seeds remain 
unplanted. I seek 
    justice from the earth.

Turn off the lights 
I want to see- 
    the moon in its full glory.

Someone has left 
the message for us. 
    Go out to face the wolves.
