When the storm inside

keeps tearing you apart,

how do you stay calm?

How do you not fall apart?

forgive me for my desperation,        
but i yearned for him like no other.        
and if this deep longing is my damnation,      
oh, please let me be his lover.

crumpled skin
paper thin

aged timeworn elastic
holding everything in

Do we want world peace?
  Yes.

Can we have it?
  Yes.

How?

It’s simple.
Pack all our beloved, war-loving world leaders
and drop them off on Mars.
Let them fight there
to their heart’s content.

We shall have peace on Earth.
