aim higher

black and white, time ticking

can’t hold on

debate is silent

effort is slow

fortune is slower

grant the breath it will take

hate is subtracted, only focus

individual action

just waiting for the next move

kill them with calmness

leave them with kindness

me and you, alone, intimate

never wavering

open to no argument

preparing for the worst

questioning the best

reaching for a win, any win

short on time

time, always time

under the great clocks. tick. tock.

violence but not war

war without violence

x-ray vision, useless

your move
