Blood Ode

Blood Ode

Given to us at
the moment of our creation,
Blood
the life force that keeps
us alive and
Able
to love
to feel
Pain
given to us in many
different forms
from physical to emotional
we feel pain and
each time our
blood boils red hot
and we try to
cool our fiery anguish
by lashing out at
the one's we
Love
a figurative term associated
with the heart and colored
Red
the color of
blood and fire and
Anger
the state at which we
lose control of
ourselves
to be less than human
but sometimes
more,
maybe not,
the Beast
within each of us
driven by our emotions
and out for
Blood
sometimes given needlessly
for another
but a gift never the
Less
than human but more than
Animal
whose only basic desire
is to draw
Blood,
a moral, maybe
a wonderful gift
sometimes a terrible
Curse
always needing to be kept under
control,
Maybe?
