VIOLENCE IS A VOICE

He utters whispers that ignite teeth, mind, and claw,

That inspire bomb, sword, and fist.

Bringing intimacy between enemies,

allowing purpose between friends,

One given for one taken,

One broken for one whole,

In every breathing thing He whispers,

Man, most of all,

Towards the great exchange of flesh,

Death to life, life to death.

One given for one taken,

One broken for one whole.
