  • Criminializing

    April 1, 2016

    Criminalizing

    Through state-sanctioned prejudice

    “Gay” is not a crime

    ~

    A nation in regression

    Will be ravaged from within

  • His Dizzying Array Of Nonsense

    April 1, 2016

    His dizzying array of nonsense boggles the mind

    While apologists stutter excuses.

    The dark underbelly of society cheers

    Like rabid dogs dancing insanely in the streets.

    Violence abounds though he denies its existence

    Even while celluloid, coated in pepper spray stifles their lies.

    He misspoke, He was taken out of context

    Are the excuses of today as women are marched to prison.

    Discussions of personal responsibility

    Do not apply to this “Teflon Don”.

    He speaks his ugly mind

    Letting consequences fall where they may.

    He didn’t start it, the other guy did

    Showing that even spouses aren’t safe.

    A schoolyard bully in a custom tailored suit

    Wants to rule your roost,

    And you are willing to blindly let him.

    It matters not whether he is of substance,

    It only matters that he speaks exactly what you think.

    Killing with kindness

    Not the preference of some

    Bombs are more deadly

    ~

    Why promote diplomacy

    When weapons of war exist

  • Surrender To Me

    March 29, 2016

    Surrender to me

    Fall to passionate advance

    It’s our destiny

    Foretold in Heaven above

    Ordained by the hand of God

    We are meant to be

    Soulmates, lovers, companions

    ‘Til the end of time

  • Symbol Of Greatness

    March 29, 2016

    Symbol of greatness

    Tarnished by greed and hatred.

    A once proud people

    Sinks deeper into ruin

    While wearing a clueless stare.

    They would be appalled

    If only they were conscious,

    But alas they aren’t

    Choosing instead to live lies

    Propagandized by tyrants.

  • So Much To Say

    March 28, 2016

    So much to say, though

    How…is what eludes my grasp.

    Fingers contorted,

    My mind drowning in chaos,

    The words scream fighting for air.

    But alas they choke,

    Dying at the hand of a

    Tormented poet.

    What fate beholds this tortured

    Soul. Only God above knows.

    My mortality

    Something I face every day

    Yet I have no fear

  • Serenade

    March 28, 2016

    Subtle rays of sun awake

    Earthly living things.

    Rising up as day does break

    Easing out of dreams.

    Now the song the dove must sing

    Announces the new morn.

    Donned in heaven’s golden ring

    Ever thankful to be born.

    Ambiguity

    The lifeblood of politics

    Flipping and flopping

  • Gates Of Hell Opened

    March 21, 2016

    Gates of Hell opened!

    What lies in store for the damned

    Who worship Satan?

    His power grows with applause,

    His insatiable ego

    Thrives hearing his name.

    Feeding off the ignorance

    Of the cheering hordes

    He spews hate with a smile

    Leaving fans drooling for more.
