The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Straits of Humanity


Recommended Posts

I am constantly amazed

By the straits of humanity

Smooth water when you expect storm

Stormy water when you expect smooth

Rain lashes the decks

Groans in the weight of the waves

And

A body flies from the railing

To disappear into the darkness

Of a distressed and angry sea

Not fallen

Not slipped

Pushed

By a colleague once beloved.

 

What is friendship?

That it can be destroyed at a turn

You are not important enough

You are not good enough

Through thick and thin?

Whatever gave you that idea?

Stupid

It’s the sea for you

Cast away

There is no room for mistake on this ship

No room for error

The threads of friendship are thin

The life rope will not hold your weight

Forget about it

Who ever heard about commitment

Old fashioned

Can’t deal with you today

So won’t deal with you at all

Find another chump

Who will gladly tie themselves

With a spider web

As the storm rockets around us.

 

Sick, sick

Judas kiss

Companion once

Enemy now

Was it really so easy?

For you to push them over?

Where once you swore eternity

Now you damn them through clenched teeth

If you could not love them through anything

You never loved them at all.
