Flashlight
Point & saber
through the unknown
but beware, beware
the subject shown:
Crooked by contrast,
blissful & buoyant
in stagnancy; yet steadfast,
prideful & imprudent.
Like a vamp bat
feeding on the blood
of the busy, or a rat
spreading sickness & crud,
if unfound & untested,
the temple will falter;
its resources second-guessed,
festered & forever-altered.
So shine it down
'till focal points
burn it to the ground,
& with its ashes anoint
allies. With iron fists——
loyal & unwavering——
spread your light, for this
victory's worth savoring.
