Fear and Anger




Fear and Anger


Is there a second to inhale and exhale

between the threat and the attack?


Is there a thought between

empathy and hope

fire and water?


Which death would you prefer

drowning or burning

at what point would you cease to be

human?


What makes you feel vulnerable

your mind or your heart?


Who started the arms race

the king or the crocodile

whose hunger was a constant threat?


Why do I waste words on the past

when the present urgently

asks me to do something?


Because I always thought

a problem can be solved

and will be solved

in death or love?


I just happen to prefer love.
