A Short Ode to Words
by Sam Harty for the "Tattoo this line" challenge
__________________________________
When all is said and done, words are my everything.
I bleed ink, and my words flow out of me and sing,
help the pain, ease the sting.
Oh my words, we’ve been so long together, begging,
pleading, surrendering, conceding, this long bloody fight.
Dripping ink on the soles of lost loves as they disappear
out of sight...

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).
