the violence
the violence
living in the violence unable to see the good
each step is wrong further away from peace
awaiting the silence and the misunderstood
a hollow plaintive song that can never cease
the violent bursting seed invading the womb
seeking of the fertile soil digging to the depth
releases only its need to the goal of the tomb
avoiding unnecessary toil holds onto breath
violence and the violent infiltrate all around
moments of life struggle as new reality forms
forgo the blessed silent promote sheer sound
execute the ones who smuggle gentle norms
ignore the real to pretend in safety’s illusion
knowing violence won’t end until conclusion
