My Blood for the World

Location

I am living poetry.

Each beat of my heart is a word

and the verses of a thousand

unwritten poems flow through my veins.

I write out of fear,

a fear of leaving the world

in the same sorry state

in which we first met,

my pen acting as a channel

for my life's essence to pour out

onto paper.

Each poem born of me

lives and breathes as I do,

and with these poems I create an army,

each soldier desperately fighting for change.

Their ammunition words,

and prose

and philosophy,

and most of all-

Love.
