Hostility IncognitoA Poem by Sir Altitude
The shockwaves reverberate throughout the land, making me relieved that I'm
on sand. I feel monsters coming out to get me, so I run and make the best with what I have. Spears, knives, and bombs have no effect, until I come across a dilapidated building, entirely derelict. My savior, I sprint inside, only to find it was not with best interests she permitted me passage. Bravely I soldier on, scaling the crumbling stairs with tenacity and little else. My penchant for adventure betrays me, and I feel myself topple back, into the pits of the earth. Black, so black. I strike fire, and barely see my hands in front of me. I can sense her sighs and suddenly understand: All this was just an act. She is loving, an exercise in nurture. A mother forced to bear this torture that we so greedily insist on. We sow the seeds and expect to reap them infinitely, but she sees things differently. © 2010 Sir AltitudeAuthor's Note
