Hideaway Hangout    11/2/2016

The dumb

Live in denial

Always hanging on

To the same old lies. 

But truth is reality

And reality is truth

Always present

And empirically

Evident. 

When I woke up

I could not forget

No longer able

To hide my eyes. 

That was the day

I learned to overcome

Smashing down the fear

Of rejection

And ridicule. 

And this also is the day

That the dam is about to break

Long held up

And long pushed down. 

But it is

At that precise moment

That animals always strike

Just when they lose

And just when they fail.

Lashing out in a violent spasm

They often kill or maim

Unable to grow

And unable to accept. 

Beware the sudden attack

And beware the greatest lie

A doubled headed snake

Dead and alive

And willing to kill.
