Through my lacking, perceptive mind
was drilled the malignant force
of wo/man kind.
This ungoverned law of revenge
to prove equality has slept in beds
with willing soldiers-stacked of knowledge to help in war.
Without gratitude or glory from peace
we/he/she stops to create judge of character,
and honour themselves with the defence
that they have already suffered intolerable
from night’s velvet stain.
