Blade of a Gorean Assassin

Swimming among winds, a smile of steel
A primal fear rippling through flesh
Long I have sought him, Now I have found him

Scalpel of a Surgeon

Navigating nerves and many a tumor
A tightrope of life, an abyss of death
Wielded by one hand, and a thousand prayers

Window Bars of a Government Building

Goliath of need, felled by David of greed
Where papers skip tables, when coins cross hands
Born to a nation's promise, corroded by national neglect

Chains of a Criminal

By default or design, predators plummet
Scream of the pure, clarion of betrayal
Under my cuddle, they are but the same


Shades of Steel

They curse the cutlass of knaves
They praise the scalpel of surgeons
I see nothing but shades of steel
