This

A twist in the turn

again, destiny

beckons.

I can do this

I can do this!

Voices from afar

burn in my ear

like Napalm:

war is a drug

aflame in our genes

destruction builds

nations.

A twist in the turn

here we are

we can do this!

News reel

prophecy tumbles

delusion:

we eat, dream, sleep

as if immune.

A twist in the turn

fire brands us

apocryphal chants

threaten annihilation

& I turn to the twist

scream to the last

sunrise.

We can do this

we can do this!
