Tongues Faster Than Awareness

One sided wars

Yelling of any kind rapes silence.
Talking just opens gates on it.
Over-talking creates an unnecessary number of doors;
Distinguishing is an art of our cores.

But cores are covered, hidden
under layers of repulsions and lack;
the need to be visible and heard
forces the words to just be spread.

The tongue runs faster than the mind.
Unconscious is stronger than conscious.
We celebrate verbal victories — with lyricism —
in a game of one sided antagonism.

O, fellow humans, why in such a rush?
Weigh your words, become unbiased.
Fear has paralysed your clarity.
Imaginary enemies distort your Reality
.

The war between each other
is a waste of precious time.
Who wins the game of impressions doesn’t matter.
All the “opponents” will be stardust sooner or later.
