Anti-aging Grapefruit 2001-09-27
This is the first poem I read at Galileo tonight. It is called "Anti-aging Grapefruit". I think you'll be able to tell what it's about. ---------------------------------- I'm astounded By the things I've allowed myself To become distracted by Running away has become a problem again It's hard for me to stare Into the face of our enemy And feel anything but sadness I feel this strange twang of guilt Because I refuse to be angry And I want to be angry Angry enough to call the wrath Of demon and angel alike To slowly torture the Hateful to death But that would make me No better than them wouldn't it And something inside me won't allow that It has been said that Mercy without Severity is weakness But we all have to remember that Severity without Mercy is TYRANNY Sometimes killing IS necessary But only if you take no joy in the act So we shed a tear A tear for the good things the enemy Could have done rather than Following a distorted logic A tear Because the enemy is Something to Someone And this is the only way To keep it from doing this Or something equally dreadful again We shed a tear for our enemy Just before we cut its throat ------------------------------------ I have nothing more to say on this subject. ~MattMagus
