Fight Video and Oil On Canvas

Fight Video

Violence one more time on camera
A conflict between two humans that had to be settled with physicality
I feel sorry for the cameraperson and the crowd
I feel sorry for the website that will accept its upload
I feel sorry for the winner
One day that winner will be a loser
Just like we all are at sometime
And there will be a camera there to ridicule
Millions of views
But when the camera turns off
Someone will grab a weapon, a gun
And get the last laugh
With only one view
That knock out
Won't end the conflict that turned to death
This tragedy will be replayed throughout the annals of time

Oil On Canvas 

Crossing that slick bridge
With oil piled on thick
I thought I'd slipped past the jagged ridge
But I then looked at my clothing ragged
My eyes tried to stop my mind
But it was too late to say bye
I fell into the meadow to find
That I had nothing to do
But stare and stare and stare
I followed stroke after stroke after stroke damned
The clocks around me broke
Aimless, trapped in a sea
