don't be a hero

You bat your chest

Pound and roar

Proud of your violence

And barbarism

Parading it around

Like a shiny badge of your

Most recent conquests;

But the funnier thing is

I assumed i had to be

A more evolved being

Adapting to such primitiveness

Detaching from cruelty

By filtering reactions

Re-engineered to be apathetic

Because caring

Won't win the war

Learning passively

From objects of study

Because a coward's best

Defense mechanism

Is to call himself,

A genius.
