#enforcement
Pay attention to what lengths one will go to And still find themselves incapable of making it through No push or pull through, both options taken off the table on a path of glue Acknowledge the mental blocks that are constantly fought 1v2 Never told, so never knew Sold a bad bag of repackaged goods labeled NEW But these missing brighter days have an expiration on the carton too As well as an enforcement of a curfew That's never been required to pursue, Yet they still do While most never notice the touch of darkness lurking in their happy places too ©2024

~•§•~ A Touch of Darkness ~•§•~
Here I am, the purest of light consuming all I can with me filled with fight and I rest. Powerful am I, that my sheer force can decimate whole nations and lands and lay waste even to the most carefully made plans. I am that which through property brands and humbles through force than peace and love. Yet for all the power I contain My presence is so fleeting. To be me is to be vain, and to be here once and then suddenly be gone.

Fire
The sheep are swimming in the Nile; they must be living in denial! Denial is our best friend, the constitution we must amend! Guns are our mortal enemies; their only use is to commit felonies To stop these tragedies, we must impose harsher penalties! There is no wolf, we will not die; there’s no need to put your life on the line Sheepdogs are for the paranoid, those who live in a void Remove the sheepdog and the enemy goes away, to happiness this is the true way Ban the wolf with a no trespassing sign, surely we’ll be fine Respect and common courtesy, the wolf will live in harmony Close our eyes and he goes away, all we have to do is pray Our herd used to be bigger; we don’t ask questions as long as our denial can deliver Until our children are in the fire, then the sheepdog we require But the sheepdog is out of practice, we fired him for “malpractice.” Ruined by us, he looks no better than us – but he’s not like us The sheepdog is weak; his sheep made him an antique But his mind is strong and he’s eager to **** the evil and wrong Wolves are predators, feeding on the weak; it’s denial they seek The sheep will never fight, but pray the sheepdog is able to take up their plight

Denial
A web of terror would know quaintness in their crêpe variety where a spider grew angrier only silk woven blouse blest bats why darts inside heads if their tough regimen were slime and never really frittered away an hour at bay.

I have no gifts worthy to be given. I am but a simple man, only able to offer my God given skills. They are not brilliant. They are not grand. But they are rare. And they are valuable. They are my life and my livelihood. They know know no limits nor bounds. They are always ready. And they are never ending. My gift to you is my life. For it is the product of these skills. My promise to willingly give it in place of yours so that you may live on and not suffer such pain. I will be your light in the darkest of places. So that you can live without fear. Fear of the evil that lurks in the shadows. I will never abandon you. I will never rest. I will always stand by your side ready to fight. These skills are who I am. They are all that I am. They are meticulously refinded to the finest quality. And I give them freely without hesitation or regret. I am your Guardian. Sleep safe in my arms and know, harm will never come to you. Rest your head on my chest and close your eyes. Feel my heart beat, for you are the reason it beats. Know that it will never stop beating until my dying breath. And that too, will be in service to you. You are my love. You are my life. And it is an honor to be your Guardian. Your knight. Your Hero.

My Gift
I am indifferent to your pain I cannot feel the hurt the rage or blame The anger I don't handle well Are you in hell? I cannot tell I see you lie there on the ground My only interest is the round, the caliber, or the speed of car that hit you. Its Vehicular. Was it mine? Approach and angle. Incident report. I am indifferent to thought outside of that that makes me who I am. I don't hate you. I'm the man who said, " I love you" and "We're friends" and things that tore your mind to shreds I only know you're mad as hell. I didn't know. I couldn't tell. How could I know? I only said those words to get you into bed.
