No Escape

violent heart beating
lungs gulping air 
feet running 
won't stop now
running until 
tendons snap
until bones break
this violence
this violence
will find you

The Violent

There is violence in all our world.
It is readily apparent.
Wherever you look, it is there
Staring back at us hungrily.

This cycle repeats endlessly.
We cannot shield our childrens eyes,
We can only hold them closer.
Our love stands alone to spite it.
