When too bored I get
Seldom I do regret
The opportunity to get up
And knock some pigeons out
New always gets old
and old always gets bored
Nothing anymore
Seems to excite the neuron
Repetition is so dull
Makes life absolutely null
Been there, done that
What is so new about the act?
Same words, same path
Where is the fire and the wrath?
Even writing this is a task
Blowing away an empty cask
Boredom is inevitable
Pushing yourself is manageable
Go deeper and down
With everything in the town
Will find the new kingdom
And get out of the boredom..
One lazy afternoon...
Devin Lawrence Dec 2015
It's hard to sit on the throne
Of a palace built on paradise
When you are the king
of nothing.

Empty homes with dying fires
the fall to follow Rome,
   a light to burn the empires.
Torn children's clothing piled on funeral pyres
Abandoned hallways, crumbling spires

Unorganized, unreliable, unfit to be king,
    solemnly awaiting what his future will bring
The frost and wilt, deepening their wound until spring
His decade of rule, never sparing anything

Watch the skyline, now kiss it lightly
find the final flower and hold it tightly
Petals will fall, plunging into the universe of the unsightly
Mourn its beauty, and pray for a world more sprightly

Scaffolding in ruins, hallways lonely all along
The final moment of the crown,
   a serenade of sparrow song
A lively toast to a drawn-out life that went all wrong
Wounded always, but shallowly at most,
'Life', as they say, 'must go on'

Towns rebuild, and castles to destruct
Earth's natural tears drown and erase ten years' bad luck
Winter melts away, and the world's icy soul thaws at last to interrupt
The cold, once widely-told chattering of a kingdom corrupt

Corroded statues, no more laughter at all
A new man settles in, the trigger for the downfall
The world freezes again, crops iced once more, and the livestock dead in every stall.
  If there was ever a valid point to living a life,
     the people could never recall
Faisal H Rizvi Mar 2014
Like a safe refuge for a wandering mind;
Leaving all, what was left, far behind,
Like wires go distance from pole to pole,
I am the captain on the ship of my soul.
My clipped wings still dare to fly;
Always sang war songs as I never cry,
Carefree with agonies of world so small;
Trying to rise from ashes of the fall,
Miseries do happen, they make me strong;
Never a day is shorter, no night is long,
As these waves prostrate on the shore;
A million desires keep knocking my door,
Beneath my wounds is no pain, but light;
Besides all odds, there’s lies a right,
Breathing in victory; Breathing out freedom,
My time is here, My Kingdom has come.

As tall as the skies
A proud and mighty tree stood
By the wind it fell

It's election day.
Time to change our countries ways.
Let's hope we choose well.
Today is election day for the united kingdom. Lets just hope we choose the right people to lead us.

Part three and four

                                                         ­        III

The beauty,
It hides,
For you
In the skies.

What's real?
Is the night,
Just feel,
Don't decide.

What's natural,
It's true.
The shadow,
The moon.

Follow,
You'll find,
The desire
You hide...

One second,
One hour,
The night,
It is ours...

Two lovers, one fire

                                                         ­      IV

The morning,
Finds an open window,
The queen of lost reason,
Alone in the kingdom.


The king,
It is gone.
New conquers,
To come.

The pleasure,
With reason
Written pages,
No rhythm.

The pleasure
It ends,
Alone....
With no king...done.

This is her kingdom.
She stands on top of the world, afraid to look down.
Her crown weighs on her head.

What is the best way to rule?
Whom should she knight?
Can she save her people?

When weapons are drawn and blood is lost,
Will she be able to mend their souls?
When disease drops loved ones to the ground,
Will she be able to nurse their hearts?

Her crown is heavy,
And she is getting weaker.
Worry dwells on her shoulders,

Her mind is cluttered,
Her body is getting worn down.
She cannot sleep with the thought of the possible destruction of her land.
She cannot eat while people in her kingdom are starving.

Her gaze kept out her window.
Her mind wandered, and her body weakened.
While her spirit was living, her body was dying with only good intentions.
