The Necessary Evil

Would the world have been a better place if weapons were not  created?
I ponder.
The world would have been worse.
I concur.
See how strenuous it will be, taking a life.
I imagine.
One could rope a neck and have to allow a sand glass to complete one cycle.
Aye aye!
One could strangle and with struggle to end a life but may not even win
Oops!
One could wrestle and sap all the strength of within just to end a life.
Oh no!
Alas! The arrival of the simple machine with its  rounds of messengers.
Yay!
In just a second, if it goes through the blood pump.
In just a snap, if it goes through the grey matter.
Through the blood
 pump and the grey matter of deserving tyrants.

No Love No Pain

Once bitten, twice shy
Feathers cut can never fly

Yes I've found my weakness
I measured it by its thickness

Never will I repeat it
Deep and far from it

Whether the path is straight or curve
Never again will I fall in love.

Anike Series

I came back after many years. I was very happy to see Anike again. So I ask her what has changed since I left. She dropped her head and said "nothing much, just my surname".
I wept. I wept because that changed everything.
