State Of Mine

    I live in a ballistic state of mind-
    For, people that should be, are not even kind.
    To awaken from a long night of Unrest;
    I go out and about; I am put to the test.
    I fight like crazy to keep my cool,
    While knowing that no one plays by the rule...
    And I must wage war, or become the fool.
    It is quite laborious to stand my ground -
    Pitfalls or perversion forever hang round.
    I keep my guard up in times of peace -
    Because I know that it will soon cease.
    I don't fret over this ballistic state of mine...
    We now live in a ballistic place in time.

    Cathy Leming
