P O E T R Y
I like the words I have yet said
Like poetry left unstirred
The space between every line
Every letter, leaves room
For the undead
Red, shred, dread, and led
It doesn't make sense
But makes meaning instead
The space between every line
Every letter, leaves room for freedom
That life permitted you not, that you not need, rather than want
Stirred, a letter is a rebel, and a line is an army
You can't fight with poetry,
But you fight with words
The horrific demons inside your head and those outside of yours
Permitted, left you undead.
