Sit back and relax
your cup of coffee will be cold
if you don't drink it now...
We have had,
like everyone else
our moments
Of tenderness
cruelty
passion
mourning
and
indifference....
Life has been kind,
Life has always been about finding
that one moment
that we felt
complete
The rest has been fragments
I know that
I had lived long enough
Sometimes in dark caves
Sometimes in posh hotel rooms
And sometimes
Just inside your consciousness
I had been the there
When you had your hands deep in blood of dead babies
I had been there when your fingers have touched the rainbows
Although I wasn't there
before you were born
Neither will I be
when you will be dead...
I am just a part of yours
I am your entire identity
But I have no form
I have no powers
To act
I can only suggest
Crawl up to your hands like a snail
or
run around your fingers like a cheetah
As you prepare yourself
With the gun in hand,
To kill
Yourself
Or
Someone else...
I am nothing
And yet
I am everything...
Will you drink your cup of coffee today? ?
It is served in a cup...
Or
Will you drink the blood? ?
It is served in a soft, broken skull
Of
An infant that was killed
By rats....
