One by one
We drop out
Trapped in a suicidal
Demolition derby
And smashed in every direction.
Limping away
We see the burning hulks
Blackened, empty
And dead as a tomb.
There is no way out
Except to survive
Enduring every blow
And giving what you got.
Trading punches
And crunching the gears
Reversing direction
To cut them in half.
Straight as razor
We head to the guillotine
Dumb as sheep
Bleating in the wind.
We can wake up
Or dangle on a rope
Fighting like lions
Or slaughtered on our knees.
Circled and crossed
We sink or we swim
Today and tomorrow
The quick and the dead.
The lullaby is over
And I stare at the ceiling
One eye open
And ready.
Love today
But love enough, to act
Fearless of men
Awake and aware.
