The Response

On the page is the battleground
Pen equals sword and the cuts
Spill ink and the words lay opponents down

She choked on the image he invoked
When he said that his head so feels
Like a cage full of cynic’s quotes

Brave be the being that would soak
Up dictated prose rather than listen to the notes
That its spirit wrote

Age twenty four named Ra
Sun of many hosts
A believer in the magic that created what so many know

That’s knowledge and I’m ready for the stones
That so many throw
Bet you that I’ll snatch em out their paths
With so many flows

And
Let
Them
Fall
To
The
Earth

Challenge accepted

I’ll breathe out my gift through this curse
