take my poem as it is
there is no hidden calls
to bear crosses across waters
and i am telling you (i'm not going)
because the hills have eyes
simply to be poetic
and because they do
follow me and you will find
that i am boring
playing safely
play
safe
two words many never know
but listen to me and see
there are places we forget
like plains full of children running
because their brothers have learned
to make metal fly and blood rain
and they race to reach age 12
as their brothers twist fun and games
loosing their bodies among sisters
there is a place
where children climb mountains
and guns find them hidden away
not the other way round
where children pray to meet strangers
and do not need to be told to look both ways
before crossing anything
so i must tell you about them
and then maybe you will go
tear down the men that rise
and bring down the children
crossing mountains
and stay the hands creating monsters
all i can do is hope
i am sending words that save

Married to the pen,
and we're both having an affair
with the page.
