More from ~redlotusflower

You are.You are.

You are
a fool.
Couldn't even
confess that you loved me once,
when I asked you
to think back.

You are
a liar.
Couldn't even
look me in the eye
when I pulled your face
to stare at mine.

You are
a mistake
couldn't even
lift your hand higher
when I screamed
to you 'it doesn't hurt.'

You are
a folly.
Couldn't even
finish what you started
when I begged you
to push the safety.

You are
a coward.
Couldn't even
pull the trigger
when I pressed it
to my chest.

So finish it.
Quick.
Before I do.
Voice.Voice.

With one voice we can:
stop a bullet
convince a companion
speak our distress
kill a soul
murder the youth
fire a pistol.
With one thought we can:
Bring peace
inspire children
teach millions
burn precedents
tear down hope
spark fear.
With one hand we can:
care for the sick
stroke away a tear
smother the sorrow
strangle innocence
slap good fortune
smight our passions.
With that one voice
with that one thought
with that one hand,
we choose to take the latter,
and annihilate futures,
by being ignorant,
and greedy.
Immersing ourselves
in narcissistic societies.
Why can't we use that
one voice
one thought
o
Strangers.From beneath the gray fedora,
lies a stranger's eyes.
Darting back and forth,
from soul to soul,
and watching the streets
bleed forth people
into the urban limelight.
He watches the following:
A couple wrapped
in eachothers infatuation.
A child lost
screaming for a mother's touch.
An elderly pair
ice skating together like they've done for years.
A poet's inspiration
leaping from synaps to synaps.
From across the city street,
lie the other eyes,
searching for the singular pair
that will watch with her,
search for her
and connect with only her.
For a moment,
the stranger locks eyes
with only her,
and is enraptured,
