The War I Quell

The air outside is not fire
Your domicile is not a cell
Prison is a state of mind though
And perception will do you well

The air outside is not fire
With weary eyes and tired minds
Unrwapping our present lives
Perception is a very deep well

The air outside is not fire
My soul gratefully admits
Such was untrue in wars passed
Perceived by some the true'st hell

The air outside is not fire
It is not my soul's desire
To decompose in waiting
To pay the toll to ring the bell

The air outside is not fire
My couch is not a bunker
This battle is not a field
Perception is The War I quell

Leave The War I Quell to:

Written by

I take pictures, write stuff, have difficult conversations, build communities and forge an intentional path in life with the determination to make the world a better place when I leave it than when I happened upon it by the sheer, beautiful luck that is my existence.
