Selflessness
October 4, 2013
It must feel good to get punched in the face.
Between the skin and skull are thousands of nerves
And tons of vessels
That never get the chance to break free
A punch in the face is the liberation they're asking for
The ability to breathe, that's what they're dying for.
It must look good to get punched in the face.
When the
thousands of nerves
And tons of vessels
Are finally set free, they'll thank you
With beautiful shades of black and blue and black on blue
And random jabs of green,
You'll see that they can finally breathe.
So don't
flinch.
