An uneasy stroke
We remit to fate
Added color
Red replaced silver and gold.
A red one
Moving out of love/passion
Anger/hate
Anger/love/passion
Using slashes that tear across the paper
But mean nothing to the reader.
(What’s that you read, dear?”)
Juxtaposing love over anger
Passion over reason
Remembering for one (golden) moment
We are not machines
To serve our cars
Our television sets
Our computers
Too often love words
Are spoken with the gun
Passion bleeds red
Knife slashes.
“real men” respected and true
return home with vacant
empty eyes.
