The Killer Instinct

The Killer Instinct

A Poem by Archishman Rick

I contain the instinct of a killer,

As my hands are tied behind my back.

My sore feet can still walk home to dinner,

I'm not daunted that I can't hold a snack!


When it gets scorching bright,

As killer instincts rise,

My shadow reminds me I'm myself.



My heart and mind both nourish the killer,

As they harmonize my courage and fear.

Torrid winds are strong in this land of danger,

They have dried up every innocent tear!


Under the searing light,

Delusions burn inside,

The true path I walk reveals itself.
