Tossing
Word water balloons
At an art gallery,
You force passions
To mix and wrestle
Their liquid wills.
Your bullets burst,
Stain, and slide down
Glorified fruit,
Landscapes, and skin.
They are
Your tears
As you fend
For yourself.

A lot of action in this one. Water balloons at an art gallery, forced passions, mixing and wrestling wills, bullets bursting, stain, sliding as tears… Whew! What happened? Tossing water balloons at an art gallery I find interesting indeed. Blessings…

Basically it’s just another way of looking at the way people use words as weapons. When people try to make the world a better place, they put themselves in a vulnerable place for criticism. So many times the rude, base things of the world (water balloons) get the spotlight while the carefully developed dreams and plans (works of art) are noticed only when they become victims.
It’s easy to label people as either good or evil, but in reality every person is struggling and some only show their tears through hurling angry water balloon words. Hope this explained a little of my crazy imagination. 🙂
