Tenacity



Such tenacity is required
To even tolerate
These single-celled creatures

It is our impotence
And not our pity
Or love for them
That prevents a massacre

The ability to withhold
To suppress and fossilise this
Hatred
Of such abject stupidity

An unenviable skill
Allowing us to falsify our
True intentions

The further down you dig
The deeper into silence you go
Words becoming piss in the wind
It is only now action that counts

And like the Zen masters of old
If you are unable or unwilling
To act
Remain in sacred silence
Until the time to conquer arrives

Such tenacity is required
To even tolerate
These single-celled creatures
What tenacity

It is often too heavy a burden to bear.
