Words That Have Vale
Today whispers' a wild shivering breath.
The unfortunate feeds the best fortunate.
In return a smile & the sound that beast us
is gasped to them.
As pattern, he does survive it.
Not again.
Their overcrowded cage also feeds the beast.
El negro, faggot, they,
atheist.
Words that have vale
The power to call us not by what it is
But how what we carry can be the beast.
Maneuvering clouds of shadows
Through the window,
a bed below.
What I fear is me feeding the beast.
Although,
here I am healing atleast.
