Ingested demons cause a break
Infested in me, deceived by the snake
An endless tunnel, though no escape
A two way hell, get me out of this place

Splatter the walls with my sins
Will this torment ever end?

My back is burning, a rising heat
I try to walk, I try to run
Wicked spirits take my feet
Oh the horrors have just begun

A light hath shone, a path awaits
A getaway or devils bait?
I crawl toward the golden glow
I get closer, then start to slow
That gleam of gold converts to red
That spark of hope, I now have shed
And as I breathe my final breath
I begin to mourn my futile death

The last thing I hear, that profane hiss
I sink forever in this bronze abyss…
How can I be a fat hog
Whiles you suffer
I must insist
Let me make you supper
Pork and beans
By no means!!
Surf and turf
And perhaps some stew
A salad full of green leafy veggies
That should help get ya through

We’ll eat and drink
Burp and belch
Then will take a walk
For our health
I promise to share
‘Til my pantry’s runs bear
Or you eat me out
Of house and home
But at least
I’ll know
In the end
I didn’t eat alone
Suffering I won’t condone

I’m not on your side unless you’re on the side of peace.
Manufacturing consent for war is but propaganda of the beast.
I assure you, it’s not god’s will that people go to war and ****.
…..,
I believe you need a new priest.

Ice
Slices through heat 
Similar to sewing scissors on lace
Destabilising 
Equilibrium 
With a casual, cool, calm collectedness,
As if nothing could 
Pierce its particles;
Ruffle its feathers,
Unsync its code.
Sunrise, breaking
Is like a distant friend
Returning
From a long sojourn.
I just had a flash,
An image that's come to mind...
of little (me) bek (lb) splashing
knee-deep in puddles,
in the grey shallows of rain clouds
that's me...
always seeking,
searching for something in the gallows;
in the ebb-n-flow of life.

Sure
constantly o'er searching
for who I'm meant to be —
always peering, hoping,
that they'd pick me —

but

then

A ray of light dawns,
Someone peeks behind
the curtain, pulls me
out from the shadows

What I've been dreamin' of?! —

I freeze —
like a deer in sight

And I try to shrink
back in slight.

I discombobulate
self-destruct.

I don't know how to act this part out —

How can I move forward, be lb in the sunlight?

Gently, and lovingly, accepting that I am alright...
A free-style reaction piece from something that just happened...
I have no desire to see the
bully get beat down..
I just want the bully to quit bullying.

It’s time to pull the plug $
on the war machine!
Traveler Tim
I am %100 against war!

Time to take the power back!

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimmed.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st,
    So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
    So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
