What Will It Take?

It requires Action and Intervention
The individual and the Group.
But you can't stop it
It will continue despite your Demands
Because it could pop off at any minute
You never see her at her worst
It elevates and escalates
But you don't see 
The wrecking ball aimed at the Brick Wall
You just watch it as it Falls
And act as if it collapsed on it's own
As if it alone wasn't stable enough
to withstand the blows and punches
Because they do and she don't
Without question she is weak 
Her intentions are sick and 
her motives are unknown
But their image of her is distorted
They see out of a Kalidoscope 
Split and chop up the story 
It will never be told in it's entirety 
Color coded and shaped into 
a twisted plea of one sided
innocence and guilt.
They take her away
in handcuffs and 
mock her as she
leaves.
What is love anyway?
Is it when the hated 
one leaves?
Or shuts her mouth?
Maybe that question 
cannot be answered,
at least not by me.
