HAMMERHEAD

Disaly Banate 2001 (Butuan City)

Free verse
                           HAMMERHEAD

Seeking tranquility is all you have ever known
Helping is what your specialty and prone
Aggressive when provoked
Romantic when you are hooked

Kindness is what makes people take you for granted
Judged to make you more blunted
In our sphere full of judger
Be the one who becomes the keeper

Gentleness is fatal
Being adiaphorous is crucial
Live a life full of sympathy
But don't let your predators eat your liberty

About this poem

This poem is all about life, it is all about being in between, being good but not too good that people will take your kindness for their gain, be kind but set limitations.
