The ancient scavenger,
Daring me to murder.
Attack, I begin,
Then a cause for pause,
As a thought invades my brain.
Is there a soul
That lies within
For which I’ll be judged one day?
In war we engage,
Is this not my salvation
For the countless who’ve died before?
Compelled to pursue;
I’ve resigned to kill,
With a blink, the conflict fades.
Testing the reflex
Of indifference,
This roach I must terminate.
Reflex of Indifference
Light on its leg,
The ancient scavenger,
Daring me to murder.
Attack, I begin,
Then a cause for pause,
As a thought invades my brain.
Is there a soul
That lies within
For which I’ll be judged one day?
In war we engage,
Is this not my salvation
For the countless who’ve died before?
Compelled to pursue;
I’ve resigned to kill,
With a blink, the conflict fades.
Testing the reflex
Of indifference,
This roach I must terminate.
