Afternoon, my esteemed friends and allies! Tell me, most honorable compatriots, what do you do when you find yourself on the precipice of something greater? Do you look upon yourself or do you look out across the great expanse that lies in front of you? Please enjoy the first of two poems I will be serving up today, written in the interest of finding one’s self.
Love and War
fair’s fair in love and war
but why must love and war be one?
when love is one and war is won
all in all it should be done
it is written, it is written
something, something, oh so smitten
having but a single mitten
not even sure, if we fit in
pitters and patters
on the rooftops
it’s shaping up
it’s all in tatters
going to the corner store
buying with your dollars four
a beverage which you’d like to pour
down your throat
to forget
always, always, always remember
the way it was, in december
all is lost in love and war
won is lost and one is more
