High Hat

I am mesmerized,
and enfantalized,
by the idea of peace and beauty.

I find,
the down time,
to be the most excruciating. 

To be alone with ones thoughts,
is torture in its own right.

I'd rather stare at my own reflection,
than recall all the horror's of the world,
closing in around me. 

Better yet, 
the horrors I've single handedly caused by my own ignorance. 

Yes,
we're all guilty.

Some,
more than others.

The worst thing you can do,
is turn a blind eye,
swallow your pride,
and walk with your head high. 

There is no peace and beauty,
without retribution and accountability.
