My Manic Watch

Tick tock tick tock

It is the tick ticking of time

That has brought the writing of this rhyme.

Tick tock tickity tock

My teeth are clinched the tension

And torture of hate bitten down hard.

Truman signs off-

I sign in.

My atomic bomb detonated

Hiroshima, Nagasaki

Save me from this war

This solar, polar extreme.

There is no beauty in hatred.  There is no light, no hope, and no life  There is no 'other' in hate- it is an all consuming torture.
