Call Me Paranoia

I can feel the tension rise
Far and near this country's silo eyes
Provocation leads one step further to:

Who will shoot off or explode their weapon might
Darkness and despair

those prior months, 
before December had.

Written: by Tom Wright
10-22-2016

Our words become heat seeking missiles,
When impairing others is their intent.
Once launched they can’t be retracted,
By the tongue from which they’re sent;

It’s in our hearts these words are...
