Hug layered onions
Hold fumes of tear gas, waiting
For knives of awe hurts
II
They are on their marks
Gunning for eyes which lead knives
To their quiet temples
III
Onions with cool souls
In detecting the rots, stay
Knowing no betrayals
IV
Who calls them mean things?
In fighting fair, weapons are
Allowed on battle grounds
