Day 30

Prompt: “Bury the (blank),”

********************************************************************************* 

Lullaby to Hatred

Bury the words of the foolish youth

bury them deep under trash trucks

what would you choose over the truth?

peace of the mind or brass knucks?

Bury the heartache that you have caused

anger and broken rainbows

is it enough to be king of Oz

or do you need a backbone?

Bury the proud contemptuous look

stop writing scarlet letters

bury the meanings you found in a book

whoever told you you're better?

Bury the pictures of useless scorn,

weaponry of the network

bury yourself and then be reborn

shining new light through old murk
