killing the messenger

killing the messenger

teeth sink into fleshy thoughts
ripping my soul into little parts
damned by words not yet uttered
gagging, choking on letters sputtered
i am murdered here in front of you
for speaking of what is offensive and true

I agree that if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. If I don't agree then just walk away.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
