Revenge

Take me

Take my wounded

My shattered bones

And broken spirits

Collect my spilled blood

And fallen tears

Remember me

When night falls

And the rest of the world sleeps

But I lay awake

Awaiting a gunshot

Or siren

Because only you

Are by my side

As the rest of the world

Vilifies me

And turns us into the enemy

But it is the enemy

Who has called for war

And I only seek to protect

And perhaps

Slightly

Seek to avenge

Because when someone hurts my brothers

I cannot remain silent

Their blood calls for battle

And I hear the call.
