Sonnet No. 12 – kill the Fear
Men ache to share the tortures of our souls.
We swim upstream and battle every day,
to share what flows inside and makes us whole;
a barbaric yawp set free, and we pray
that we’ll be heard before we reach the end.
Our hearts spread open, guts upon display.
No more, we shout, our essence not misspend.
No more, no pain, the lustrous dawn’s new day.
We must do better, my brothers and my kin,
and be the men we know that we can be.
To open up our arms and feel within
the nature that we share; yes, you and me.
Slay; Kill the fear that keeps you locked inside;
Sacrum Vitae, when cursed fear doth die.
