In the Age of Bloodletting
by Scott Thomas Outlar / September 11th, 2022
Everything in that period
was designed to be explosive
Lord, leave a sweet verse
on the whisper of my breath
Powder keg cancer in the lungs
a sci-fi radiation warzone
What was done unto one was done unto all
not a lick of care in their chemical kisses
Born with a fever into a fiery vision
a streak of rebellion emblazoned on spine
Taught me how to judge a fair story
and leave juries hung when stones are involved
Small gods upon earth and many fathers in heaven
these are the trials you’ll tie to your tale
No one else kept the score so steady
or held wisdom safely in the echoes of silence
