The tidings of night bring a fresh smell:
Pacifist hearts, with no thought of bloodshed.
It is a dream worth re-living, but a mindset...
That rips at me, and I rip back.
The men and women lay asleep,
Huge wooden boxes, with huge wooden wheels
Lay scattered, in a semblance of a circle.
I rip - The pacifist heart,
And embrace it to its death,
Soft warm gooey flesh breaking against my teeth.
The pacifists heart is not a bad heart,
And the easiest to get,
Thus I must eat my fill;
A creature like me has to eat too,
And I'm lazy, and they're easy.
O' how I'd love to be the pacifist,
No worries for war, or pain or suffering.
I rip - and they don't rip back.
But others do.
They chase me with firearms
That crack violently, and hurt me.
O' how I'd love to be a pacifist,
With a warm heart, full of kindness,
And giving, and respect of responsibility.
I rip - and my heart gives way,
Screams erupt, my legs have play,
Wobbling, head full of pain,
Everything's louder, blood starts to rain.
O' how I'd love to be a pacifist,
With a small chance of a ripe heart,
And with a wolf pack hot on my heels.
I can do anything I want, so why don't I do something?

Astounding: this-kicks-ass! I'm not going to wax your ego until the next full moon, but just know, you're a brilliant writer of all sides I've seen of you and if I didn't think you were going to leave an impression on man to change the world, well, I'd still come to your blog, but it'd cost ya!
P.S.
Just yesterday I read an interesting passage in Lightning (yes, Dean Koontz' masterpiece) about pacifists. I hope you read those confounded other writers' works (for which I'm sure I have great respect for, nonetheless) and pick it up soon, it really is a terrific book. Speaking of, let me know how your own work is coming before I let myself slip into the madness of anticipation. Cheers!
