bi partisan

fallen soldiers
in a war that never was
i fight with words
and hope bullets protect me
can someone baptize me now
protect me with the water
that is of holy cloth
time
touch
and blessed non-the-less
so quick are we to run to our guns
to run our gums
to shoot off at the mouth
to shoot down the other man
make him silent
tell him what you think
SHUT UP
listen
in silence
have a sense of awe
of humility
damn you
damn you to a state of
simple audatory consumption
learn
feel
feel what you are afraid of
accept that it walks this earth
and may know things that you do not
know that you are not always right
i know that i am not
maybe that is why i smile
