Spoken

i am not concerned with pattern
not worried about formality
i am unsure of where this is
but i know exactly i am

i'd rob you of your discontentment
and i would murder injustice
i would steal pain from you
and i'd slay oppression
i'd avenge your heartbreak
and i would kill malfeasance
this is my vendetta against evil
i have but one weapon
my fists are useless
and sharp edges can only cut the physical
bullets cannot pierce what is not corpreal
hope joy and love
these things cannot be destroyed
except by your own allowance
within you
is the greatest capacity for good
you are a fortress
in which goodness flourishes
if only you would care for it well

there is glory of the likes you have never seen
blossoming and unfolding
blushing we turn from it
embarrassed due to our undeserving
flustered and frustrated we look away
not seeing
not believing
running from the only thing worth running towards
burn us up
with the ashes they will paint a new world
a better world
don't wait for it
make it
