THE BELLWETHER REVIEW
Literary and Arts Journal
Peace Machete
Moriendi Lenore
A naturally curious mind is stuck with me
Forever wishing and hoping to wander so
It is never content to sit and just be.
Must you be so persistent? I plea
Onlookers stare in my direction apropos
A naturally curious mind is stuck with me
Aggravation dresses my face, a marquee
Be cool, calm, chill, you got this, breathe slow
It is never content to sit and just be.
I know just what to do to set us both free
Headphones on, full blast, a temporary deathblow
A naturally curious mind is stuck with me
Content, I lean against the shade of a tree
Music cannot be stopped, reverberating, we let go
It is never content to sit and just be.
You are a peace machete, lacking chivalry
Do I relent, has our parlay hit a plateau?
A naturally curious mind is stuck with me
It is never content to sit and just be.
