Fighting An Idea

Mind is burdened, thoughts are deep.

Grabbing thin air, letting go of concrete.

Ideas are fought with fists and blades.

Something tangible fades away.

Words of venom roll off the tounge.

Using spite and hate for wars won.

Letting go of a beautiful history.

All that is won is a shallow victory.


After thought:     Love pours eternally down a drain, drenching those who do not 
want to be saved.

when ideas fight they produce creation and innovation but when human greediness and desires get involved everyone loses cuz ideas are the first to die, nice poem, LOVE~MISHA
