White Flag

Written 8/27/2015

You'll need a paint brush

Black paint

Reach up

If the paint runs

Let it

It will not be the last to run from you

Grip the cloth tightly

Do not let it get away from you

Because it will try

Refuse

Deny the instinct to let go

To relent

You'll need a paint brush

And black resolve

Paint a skull

And crossbones

On your white flag

Refuse to surrender

Turn

And charge
