Vocal silence Does for an Argument make. You hide behind your belligerence; With mortar of icy rage and Stones of cold indifference, Laid with trowels of denial, Lobbing nothing wrong Like fury-fueled firebombs Then you run a mile. It's not a war, It's a conflict. I'm hunting through a jungle Of stone-walled edicts, My defensive guns laying ammo On metaphorical trees Guilty of hiding the dead. A bunker deep enemy, Safe in their concrete head. Hunting a deserter Who spent a lifetime Learning camouflage techniques, Sulking under cover, Lining up their gently angry shot For when the cross-hairs meet. I would call you out, But you would only go in. It's like fighting a shadow, My silent twin; Naturally nurtured To hide behind benevolence And fight a cold war. I warn you, it's growing thin.

War of Silence
Vocal silence Does for an Argument make. You hide behind your belligerence; With mortar of icy rage and Stones of cold indifference, Laid with trowels of denial, Lobbing nothing wrong Like fury-fueled firebombs Then you run a mile. It's not a war, It's a conflict. I'm hunting through a jungle Of stone-walled edicts, My defensive guns laying ammo On metaphorical trees Guilty of hiding the dead. A bunker deep enemy, Safe in their concrete head. Hunting a deserter Who spent a lifetime Learning camouflage techniques, Sulking under cover, Lining up their gently angry shot For when the cross-hairs meet. I would call you out, But you would only go in. It's like fighting a shadow, My silent twin; Naturally nurtured To hide behind benevolence And fight a cold war. I warn you, it's growing thin.
