fire doesn't melt ice

Fire doesn’t melt ice

Its justifies ice

I don’t call myself a poet

Because I write poetry

I call myself a poet

Because I grasp poetry.

Little boys act hard

To fool others

Into thinking they don’t get hard

And fags love women too,

But their amazons are flat chested

And they mistake anger for masculinity

And forget to separate femininity from the gender

They all rant and rabble, not clashing, just overwhelming.

And my demons are the ones who look from a different perspective,

And my angels are falling,

Because who could justify this perspective?

Philosophers condemn metaphor

It isn’t concrete enough

Poets condemn poetry

In favor of the form,

Shedding all philosophy,

So the stanza prevails.

Prevailing powers look at each other with respect,

They will rape their allies.

Their allies will be bruised enough

To fight on their own.

Friendship is about collective interest

And pretending such exists

Pretending is like truth telling

Pretending just means one less deceived.
