Contemplative Poem: Action and Reaction

Posted on August 3, 2022August 3, 2022

Can we be real, I know, it’s new,
but I have an honest question for you…
If a mosquito bites me, what will I do?
Sit back, let it suck, and offer it seconds too?
If I say yes, then I’m being stupid or untrue…

So when something the size of Infinity flicks a naughty being,
maybe the force exuded is reflexive and explosive too.

If something is threatening something I love,
am I going to approach with kid gloves?
No… Blow for blow and to the death, we will go.

If something is bound to entropy,
and threatening anything that disagrees,
Am I going to step aside and wish it a good journey?
Or toss it back into the deep blue for recycling?
better believe the second is true.
