egos & echoes

another pointless discussion where
we danced around intention
using words like sabers cutting
deep beneath the skin
leaving scars unseen
by human eyes like
a cancer seeping through
cellular matter spreading
roots through out until
buried deep with in the heart

a seed is planted
poisonous, deadly a
flesh bomb programmed to
detonate time release
set not for today
but somewhere in
a future not predestined nor
preordained innocent bystanders
caught in the crossfire of
egos and echoes whose
only mistake was to enter
the theater in the middle
of act II
