A surgical scissor cuts
To heal a man out of sorts
The surgeon operates the malignance 
To remove the cancer of belligerence...

Anger is an explosive expression
Belligerence is not an excuse
Careless thoughts of idiom 
Does not reason words of abuse

Why use it as a crutch?

Warm night
   Cold day

Sleep light
   Work heavy

Hot dinner
   Cold drink

Eat light
   Drink heavy

One drink
   Feel fine

To many
   Drunk belligerence

Up late
  Much fun

Text message
   Driver designated

More drinks
   Sleeps mine

Wake up
   Dry mouth

All this
   Over & over...

One death 

forgiveness, death
you once promised me an eternity 
give back my breath
you wicked whet
you once promised me an eternity you lied
I beg for forgiveness life
not but a stolen kiss shall darkness make
there is the only belligerence
death forgave now, alive

fold myself into the falling
files
of each row
of days
this neatly stacked
insignificance
the belligerence of common sense
casts it's shadow
break me open
& i will bleed the pages
of an order not my own
these thin sheets more rigid
than any branch they broke from
what lives here?
whose hallowed halls are these?
what veils me
no longer avails me

     The difference is this:
     The man is always
     ready to explode in punches,
     or bullets...
     The woman always
     exploding into a smile,
     in a caress ...
     When the soul is sublimated,
     the punch changes
     in a gentle wiggle,
     and the bullet in delicious
     caramel kiss, captivating
     and audacious...

BOMBER  COMMAND

It won’t happen to me
he said,
we’re Bomber Command.

It won’t happen to me
he said.
We must blow the enemy out of the sky
he said.
we’re Bomber Command

The pride and belligerence of the Reich
it’s Hitler’s war on Europe
and it’s my sixteenth sortie out tonight,
he said
we’re Bomber Command

Somewhere in the Rhineland 
his body lies
He gave his life for his country
but he gave mine too
in Bomber Command....

I searched for the answer 
to a question I dared to ask
wondering why people hide 
behind so many masks.
The query was this:  
"What's happened to integrity
when honesty is replaced 
with deceit and insincerity?"

I had several insightful answers 
but was left in grim despair
when i realized that so few noticed,  
or perhaps they just didn't care.
It's indicative of the times 
in which the world now exists;
one in which deception reigns 
with belligerence and raised fists....
