The Cut

Abrupt

 

It severs

 

Indecision

 

Forever hated

 

And yet it

 

Pulls and calls

 

Those who conceive

 

What it is to do

 

What is hard and the end

 

Made by decision

 

Creation and destruction

 

Reason and action

 

To split what is

 

From what could be

 

Release a creation

 

End a misfortune

 

Affect a reputation

 

Survive an invasion

 

Defend, protect, cultivate

 

Carve, conquer, control

 

In the world of warriors and tongues

 

The one who can cut

 

And carve at all

 

Can move to their own ends

 

Whatever they may be

 

Under the vines and seas of this world.

 

By J.W.H. Hobbs.
