the hostages shield - red dot; anonymous kill - ominous
filled with hollow tips followed with a brigade of velocity of
unstoppable steal polished with, rags of tallow, and ethylene
glycol solvents, sealed with the acknowledgers will; prominent
helicopter conferences atop of metropolis hill
condiments built monuments still toppling
crop less. poverty stricken, victims, siblings
vicious system, locked in affliction, wishing, twitching
sitting. shifting, jobless, evicted, hostages, listen;
they've blocked off the exits of the premises, locked off the entrance -
swat is relentless, they will not stop until I'm shot or
apprehended, boxed or cemented, chopped in a desert
or Fed to the Crocs in the sewers where toxin is restless
fluorescent and present, detectives, hectic, paramedics
forensics, epidemic, megaphone message, we get it
the lieutenant is sweating, the snipers finger is shaking
he's visible impatient, cigarette ash, flickering pavement
it's those first few seconds where decisions are taken;
that make chain of events link together, twist with abrasion
we are in situation do not move, sit stiff. keep your lips in incasement
the devil you know, the devil you don't. the encrypted relation
the minister conflicted, pacing back and forth with a dilemma
the task force; front and center, doors reinforced with a board
that'll splinter into your palms like a ember with the torque of a shredder
the negotiator clears his throat and calls for a truce
the offer is read, by the messenger, prolonged and rebuked
the minister knows the hostages, every member, be it how wrong if they shoot
his temple of worship at war, with the gong, it's his cue
the bullet. the killer. the window. the bulls eye. the stage gun.
the curtains. the props. the red dye. the fake blood.
the ransom. the crime. the make up.
all that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream
sinners mind is a sanctum;
