Body Hammer

by Jersey D Gibson

I clench my teeth and realize,
my world is so near its' demise.
A dying sun in a poisoning sky,
stinging my eyes...
burning with contempt and conflict.

As of now, I am a tool of severe impact!

I clench my fist and visualize,
the blood that is spilled is my own.
I open wide my bloodshot eyes,
counting the dead...
a result of dysfunction.

Hammer down, cause and effect and create a new world!

Smash!
Break
Smash!
apart
Smash!
everything
Smash!
I once held dear.

Break!
Smash
Break!
away
Break!
everything
Break!
I once knew.

I am a tool;
Pound and drive,
swing and strike.

I am a tool;
Break it down,
smash it away.

SMASH!
Hammer
SMASH!
down!
SMASH!
Hammer
SMASH!
down!

I realize
my world of demise,
the poisonous skies
is stinging my eyes.

I clench my fist,
I spill the blood.
I clench my fist,
I am a tool.

I'm burning with contempt
that's breaking me down!


BREAK!
BREAK!
BREAK!
BREAK!
BREAK!
BREAK!
BREAK!
BREAK!

Wow, I really like this one. It's probably my favourite poem that I've read of yours so far. Great connection with being a tool, and fantastic rhythm.
