Mx.Understood (The Villain)

Mx.Understood (The Villain)

A Poem by Indra's Child

Now is time to
Pare down
Remember your excellence
For tomorrow brings adventure
But today requires steadfastness
In the face of a word parade
Launching syllables
Stuck in the thick air
As ammunition stopped with admonition
Choose to lose yourself
In the veritable vastness
Of an idea unconquered
In the vichyssoise
Of a million blended flavors
Of hatred and fear
Or ignore the ignorance
And freeze out the pain
From your warm heart
Kill the heat
Rise to the top
With hopes of becoming the cream

Follow the moon and the stars
To the ends of the earthly domain
Or follow the path of dirt
Eat the clay caked on your trembling hands
Lay alone at night
And meditate in solitude....
