 Intersection                  4/22/2016

You can always hit the gas

But if you have done it blind

You will never again

Crippled, lucky, or dead.

No pain killer

Can stop it

The lethal nexus of will

And intent

Suffocating the good

One drop at a time.

Like I said before

There are no accidents

Neither in life

Or Russian Roulette

One in the chamber

Or one in your head.

Once it was a trickle

But now it’s a flood

All of it on purpose

Cruel, hateful and dumb.

God gave us a brain

But it’s a shame

We do not use it

Lukewarm and dull

Fearful, meek and bland.

Giving in

And giving up

We slowly kill ourselves

When all we ever had to do

Was say no. 

He said to turn your cheek

But never to stretch out your neck

As we mildly roll over

Cough twice and die.

Exposing our children

To every kind of horror

A monstrous red terror

Guaranteed to spread.

Afraid of words

And afraid of reputation

In a world turned upside down

Dying and doomed.

See them smile

And see them laugh

Mocking the honest

And insulting the good. 

Calling evil good

And good evil

The powerful bought

And the fearful

Threatened.

Ever bolder

And ever more brazen

As the clock dwindles down

Half passed midnight. 

Beware the desperate

And beware the evil

Far worse than you can imagine

And breathing down our neck.

For many a man

Has betrayed himself

By doubting the obvious

From below

And behind. 

Whatever may happen

Know this for sure

That evil men knew

Vain, hateful,

Jealous, and cruel.
