The Butterfly and the Machine Gun

 

Moving gently between flowers and locations,

With seeming abandon and randomness,

I can detect no pattern of logic,

Or intention.

 

Yet, this one has a weapon,

Which seems to fill the room with noise and fire,

Spitting maliciously from the itchy, hair-trigger,

Of a mind moving at speed.

 

Ducking and diving now,

To avoid an “accidental” shooting,

A mind tries to reflect on why, while avoid certain doom,

In a simultaneous moment.

 

Such is wont of freewill when weaponized,

By the agent provocateur.

 

One the tirade is over,

A thankfulness fills the room,

To be followed by reflection,

On what just happened.

No Way Out

 

“No Way Out” the sign at the end of the corridor,

Predicated by a long walk down in virtual darkness,

As the flashlight flickers its last breath,

Causing mine to increase.

 

An end which makes the heart race,

A mind freeze,

And poor limited alternatives flood in,

Make a ever-watching devil smile.

 

Yet, there is another path,

Obscured for now,

But to be considered,

To avoid drastic action.

 

Think With Your Heart.
