We’re one sunlit eve away from the storm One caressing kiss away from the fist One promising tomorrow away from sorrow One steady step away from the slippery edge One laughter filled breath away from our death One daring leap on a mountain too steep We’re one genocide away from salvation One droplet of rain away from the flood One restful sleep from the cemetery mud One triumphant victory away from shame One unique idea and it’s all the same We’re one bullet away from homicide One sandy step away from the deadly tide One truth bleeding from ten thousand lies One incessant horde that follows as mice One furtive abortion from annihilation We’re one fraction of an immense abstraction One will to slaughter our way to salvation One wield of a sword from the godhead’s ablation One impure stream of cleansing devotion One more stab at a mother in convulsion We’re one expression of freedom in bondage One wall in a prison of our own conception One colony of maggots feeding on a sore wound One dangling strand of hope poised on doom One virulent strike cast in burning desire We’re one mind with no design that is right One strenuous now from tomorrow’s plight One field of vision and nothing in sight One short eternity from heavens light
