Trigger Warning
no point in kneeling down
on rough stones
praying for salvation
better to dance abandoned
to unheard music
‘til we drop
no point in lying down
on the tracks
as a bloody sacrifice
better to stand tall
with a sword
and go down fighting
no point in quaking in one’s boots
over something about which
we can do nothing
better to run with the wind
while we can
