Inside
by Gabe Redel


This energy
has ammunition
over flowing from its body.

Its legs
can carry three times its weight.
It has knives
and arrows
and rifles
and automatic weapons
positioned on ever side.

The energy has a mind
that is prepared
to fight
at any time.

It knows its environment.
It understands
what threats
are out there
and it has a plan
for each of them.

It waits
for an opportunity
to hurt what it does not like,
and one day
it got that opportunity.

The opportunity came out of the bushes
in plain daylight,
and it locked
its sight on its target.

But it did not attack.
It wanted to, but it could not.
The energy was only a baby
living inside a man
who had spent his life
believing that peace was more important.
