Lethal Lines

Kevin Michael Bloor

My poems, like Aurora's rays,
they shine sometimes on summer days.
Each laureled line of lyrics lays
like nun, on holy ground, and prays.

Then when the savage salt sea seethes,
each poem’s born again and breathes.
Amidst the graves and withered wreaths
its sword, like Samurai, unsheathes.

And verse then bares its biting blade
is deadly as the plant, nightshade,
destructive as a hand grenade,
or Napalm, dropped in forest glade.

My poems penetrate like pain.
They shed cruel tears as acid rain.
These children, of my heart and brain
are lethal, like Abe’s brother, Cain.

    insensitivity, imbued in words
    hurts
    always has, always will
    but
    sharing opinions, freely
    is a gift of modernity, we all
    should cherish
    history tried
    stoning people to death
    for their
    innate, diverse way
    of thinking, living
    it didn't work, too well - then
    well, unless
    maybe for the herd majority
    that were doing the stoning
    momentarily..
    still, Personally
    I try to apologise, for my words
    at every opportunity
    although, it may never be enough
    to undo
    what hurt, they may cause...
