Renegades Lay Down Your Arms
Or the pistol is poison many years from now
Renegades drop your arms
That's a call
No torment face a fall
No after-thought hold a curtain
There are bigger soldiers in life
Redirect to peace and please thyself
Or the new pistol of society is the poison of mirth
Know a moment's warmth
Renegades lay down your arms
In peace
Because I want that more than anything right now
More than taste and there is no bargain with hunger
Lay them down
When the hostage leaves will be time to hear again
Memory is an afterthought
Yet none are meeting
Men of matters more, bright and steady
Pleased at
New found flutters
That light thy palms
Now meet the winds
~/\~
This poem is about the renegades of living. Those on destructive paths bring hatred to society's wounds. For those who destroy a life for their own selfish reasoning and to the fallen at their hands, all soldiers in life, God has bigger plans.

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
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).
