The Steel

Lately, I have been on an anti-violence kick.

Let us speak of ways to solve our problems.

If my words do not affect, a bullet to solve them.

I have always had a way of convincing a man

Show him the lifeless hunk of machinery in hand.

If he sees the fear of that lifeless objects

Can easily imbue, his spine will be erect

His eyes will eye me with a new respect.

Oh, but is it worth it?

What if he still refuses to pay tribute?

Should I pull the contraption’s hairline to shoot?

I will give him a fragment of this gun

So that he may remember who actually won.

Just absorb it and sleep on my pieces.
