Fight or Flight


Left or Right?

Up or Down?

Black or White?

The switch is found

 

Life or Death?

Give or Take?

Crack or Meth?

Lose the fake

Kill the clown

 

Yes or No?

Stop the Flow?

Buck or Doe?

Keep going round

 

On or Off?

Open or Close?

I guess he chose

This isn't prose

Fight or Flight?

It's on the nose

 

Rich or Poor?

Out he goes,

Without a tour.

Give him the bow.

Smash his words

Shoot his strength

Cage or Bird?

He's not assured.

 

Sear the flesh.

Cut the toes.

Start again,

Make it a show.
