verbal warfare,
the cruelest kind.
sickly syllables
pierce the skin with every beat.
sentences strung together with an intangible toxin,
the deadliest of weapons.

two opponents,
spewing words
spawned from the unholiest of places.
their only goal to cut the other down.
to see whose poison is more potent.
who can strike the strongest blow.

it's the kamikaze pilot
versus
the suicide bomber.
you can't have verbal warfare
without letting your own ugly show.
**** your kindness.
suffocate your sympathy.
show no mercy.

after all,
there's no going back.
