< Back

Shelter

escaped from peace
to find shelter
resting easy 
now that war
is back 

no matter
who decided it 
just the wind 
on my skin

my soldiers 
carry sticks 
like scythes 
to bring you 
back to reality 

dismembered egos 
brought the morgue 
outdoors
hunting spree 
fox holes on adderall 
zinc fences with 
the peep holes

war is
Like word play 
mine is graffiti 
a recounted sermon  
words spray 
my congregation 
worships no amen 
only the pen

so don’t 
ask the preacher 
how he’s feeling 
he’s for the people
