Take From Me What You Will
Thief,
take from me what you will.
You can only steal for so long
before you get caught.
Dictator,
your iron fist can only dominate for so long
so abuse your power while exists.
The coup is coming.
Beast,
in nature exist copaceticly,
serving your function.
You’re only wild when tamed,
I see no need to domesticate.
Monster,
danger takes its form as ignorance.
You only frighten when unknown.
I’m gathering my spelunking gear
so I can become intimate with your every
nook and cranny.
Enemy,
you don’t get to penetrate forever.
I will no longer demurely submit,
with each breath I rid myself of you.
I’m spitting you out.
You’re rotten.
