#foes
Real friends are exceptional guardian angels Like devoted and trustworthy brothers and sisters Like T58 heavy tanks assuming defensive roles And like invincible armors - formidable defenders. True friends turn neither allies nor rivals into vile devils Real friends always protect one another’s interests True friends don’t behave like manipulative pests And real friends act humanely, on all conceivable levels. Beware of all fake, faulty, fallible, frail and faux friends Choose your friends meticulously, wisely, and carefully Our world abounds with futile, ****** despots with tainted hands. Friends don’t create troubles for nobody even for the foes Our world teems with vermin eager to devour babies’ toes Be fully aware of the surrounding waters and the slumbering sea.

Real Friends Are Like Trusted Siblings
When they turn from a FRIEND to a FOE, you need to RETURN TO REALITY, and LET THEM GO!! JUST SNAP OUT OF IT!! OH, CAN'T YOU JUST SEE!! OTHERS SEE IT, BUT YOU!! As they are DEEPLY CONTEMPLATING, THEY ARE either, A FRIEND, A FOE or maybe even FRIENDAMIES!! ASSOCIATES, ACQUAINTANCES or A STRAIGHT UP ENEMY!! ALL DEPENDING ON THE PREFERENCE, FRIEND, OR FOE, IS THE REFERENCE!! (JUST BE CAREFUL WHOM YOU CONSIDER A TRUE FRIEND!!!) (WHEN THEY MISTREAT, AND DO YOU WRONG, AND YOU REALIZE , IT WAS ALL PRETEND!!!) They will SMILE IN YOUR FACE, and then STAB YOU IN THE BACK, (BEING FRIENDLY IS PRICELESS) but (REAL FRIENDS IS WHAT YOU LACK!!) They come in a handful, and THAT'S OKAY!! (YOUR REAL FRIENDS WILL CARE FOR YOU, and THEY ARE THERE TO STAY!!!) When you are SO INFATUATED with your DEAR, TRUE FRIEND, and others see the WICKEDNESS and the EVILNESS within, you are just SO ENTRIGUED, and (YOU DON'T HAVE A CLUE!!) everyone is catching on (EXCEPT THE LIKES OF YOU!!!) they know that's YOUR FRIEND, yet, you still DEFEND, and they all are wishing that the (FRIENDSHIP WOULD END!!) KNOWING GOOD and WELL that particular friend, GOTS TO GO!!! because things are getting hectic from being friends to a foe, (THE HAND THAT FEEDS, IS THE HAND THAT SERVES!!) (SO, PLEASE BE WATCHFUL, and PLEASE OBSERVE!!) B.R. Date: 1/20/2026

[ Friends, enemies, you ]
Don't preoccupy any single thought With fears of making my heart sink; Such effort for me would be for naught, You're more predictable than you think.

Patience and Patience More
To aim your place and chase with haste Whilst many face the angst and grace Informed techniques befit your crest Smash through with force Opposing guests Controlling breath Patience met The journeys long to ascend Focus on the foes ahead Destructive forces with intent Defeat dealt out inside a zone Hate and venom will be spent A noble art to call your own

|| I find it easy to make friends, sometimes. I befriend those around me. Those who move too fast, those who drag so slow. Those who change, those who shift and realign. Those who smile, those who cry. Some who are a mix of both. The hardest to befriend are those who care so little; lost within themselves, forgotten like a dream. Those who refuse to be held, to be cared for. Those who take the terrifying edge into oblivion. Sometimes, befriending ourselves can be quite the challenge. ||

To Another Friend
The more we know, the less we say All the spoken words have its consequences The more is told in silences The words omitted but heard clearly What we listen, the words crafted carefully They deceive the ears that surrounds Every other agenda works on What favours whose manipulation The smile contains no smile The efforts put to take another mile Snooping and buttering on sides Friends and foe, no one decides Act so nice, what is inside no one knows till the very end Dress so good, please all eyes Give help when it is noticed Out of sight then eyes vanished Deceptive tricks up the sleeve It matters not whom we believe All playing game with roll of dice Keeping friends close, enemies closer.

Game of vice
He stalks like a cat. Then he roars aloud to scare out their attempts. He is bringing swinging claws. Swinging from his metal paws. He only wants the human his master thinks. To rip apart their work stink. His brothers rumble the ground. They also fly from the sky circling around. Remembering the sounds of cries of the past. Just like his brothers to sneak a midnight snack. Not only that but the pesky insects that feed. As they try to fight to end a world of greed. Roaring once more at the parasites host. Only one can save them to grow. He throws another roar to the wind. To be, feed, his fill of skin. Not to be hated but always feared by his foes. He will go wherever his scent will go. Try another round of joe. What he thinks no one will ever know. Right now we have all we need. After the far cry is heard he is swift at the deed. Try again and again to ravage the pain. What he finds out might make you go insane.

Ravage
The Times The Tines The Ties that bind. Fruitful flower of misery, Open you buds to the cold touch Of Death. No green thumb, just green with envy. Sitting so sunny, in a field of falsehoods. One slip, a skip, and a broken promise. Have you, too, forgot the deal. We are all stuck in the mud, so stick. Live together, die together, no solo act. So stop holding out, keep the pact. Enjoy these moments, they'll be your last.

With Friends Like These...
Shell shocked sleepwalking through the day. Tormented by nothing less than my own mind. Mind's a hollow black room. Cacophonous symphonies echo off the walls. I want to rip my hair out; my skin off; Dissolve entirely. Once was balanced now I hang on the pendulum. Waiting to fall into graves once filled

Pendulum
It was a Wall I must've built in one of those days I was not free and they kept me under lock and key A Wall so hard and thick not even a hammer could puncture it A Wall so high and deep where it touched the sea beneath and rose to Everest's Peak many times I cannot bring myself to see it or even just to think it: that one day it might crumble down and I can see its protected Crown yet I still avoid it all the time for it was where I drew the line on that day so long ago where all these thoughts were my Foes

Foes
Maybe I should just forget her, After all I've been feeling better When it comes to her, I've been managing to think of her without complete hatred, Why should I have to go backwards? If I forget it all, Then the things she did might not be here anymore, I won't have a reason to get upset, Luckily I know I won't ever see her face again.

A Foe For My Forgetfulness
I be the worse coming straight out the hearse I was dead before i was born Only to return back torn In the tomb where i sit to be collected And selected To go to this underground club aint no grub After death cuz all the earthly pain done left My soul empty now them demons tryna get me Stuck inside of dream reality seems Like a one man team Even though im too busy tryna get out the mainstream Cuz i aint down with the government intervene Breaking families through generational curses the worse is Yet to come wake out of my dream only to come Back to where it all begins in the garden of Eden casted the first sin Serpents snuck they way in Stole all of my riches and dynasty Went from emperor to poverty to state property Tribe of Judah finna rise look at objects floating in ya eyes no saprize I see mexicans jumpin border Cuz they done took the Most Highs Order Takin back what belongs to them TRUmp scared of em ****** them ******* like they did to us Ashes to ashes dust to dust at the last pie off amerikkaz crust dont trust What the media says i pray for violence to break the silence ultra violent rays Shined upon me ya see all these spirits in me Ready to set free in the atmosphere hear me clear Amerikkaz nightmare is here to clear All the chaos as adversaries pile up for the loss One time!!!!!

AmeriKKKaz Nightmare
And so the elements did wage bloodshed upon the realms, and the natural world bled in numbers. Obsidian did dredge seeping upon natures frail innocence. And weeping in sorrow as life was entombed beneath. Its tears of ash sealed eternally underneath. Cinders were bathed in heavens truthful tears As the each contended with elemental  affairs. Oak did lumber forward to entangle all within roots, as the heavens screamed on soils sin. Wood did splinter, shards impaling friend and foe, collateral damage as anarchy did descend. The earth bellowed as the onslaught of force did disjoin the soil. A champion would endorse the others right of battle, blades did clash as such impacts did render all near by to ash. brimstone against the clarity of diamond shards As no ground was won as blows befell within yards. Fighting still mummers as elements do now crusade In natural form. Allegiances do switch others made, Scars still do heal even though such a long time ago, when lightning strikes a oak, know they are still foe.

Elements Of Ages Battle Onwards
I wish I was there To help ease your pain I would brush back your hair And fight back your bane It would stand no chance Not after hurting my sweetheart I would fight it with a lance And then slice it apart You say there’s more than one? Well have ‘em come my way I have only just begun They can all join in the fray I’ll kick them and smash them And give them all a clout You say they are more like shadows? Then I’ll challenge them to a bout They may wisp and twist And swirl all around me But by then I’ll be ****** They will trip over to flee When the battle is over And I walk away with victory I’ll quickly gather my composure So I can steal a kiss from thee I’ve fought the monsters away They shall bother you no more Today is now a new day Perhaps even better than before

Fight
I can’t take this any more It’s truly a brutal cold war With the deception and spite Full of anger, pain, suffering we fight Between family that are now foes We hit each other with low blows It’s easy, wicked and rotten We don’t remember the good, it’s just forgotten With favoritism and neglect Without the slightest respect We are parasitic infestations Just a group of ****** up generations

It is better to have haters because you know that they already talking **** about you Rather than having a good friend that bites you from behind

Sometimes We Need Tears
A man thinks for those Who can’t think for others Pray for those Who don't pray for others Without knowing the foes A man feels friendship with others But When he recognizes his hidden foes He don’t try to make them friends By forgiving, praying and caring With his splendid rays of character

Beware
What I really want to know, Is while her frock flies to and fro, Have you really seen her knees? Her toes are an absolute pleasure, her ankles are fun to measure, Despite all this fun at leisure, I'm a stranger to those knees. She'd rather charm and please, Tantalize, tickle and tease, Than show those blasted knees! And when I tell her so- She'll display her elbow and say "They're just the same, with a different name". Some day in her eyes, lemon I’ll squirt, then quickly tear the hem of her skirt And take a good look at those knees.

Have you seen Becky's knees?
Friends,  family and foes... Can they ever erase my solitude? Can they ever erase the persisting loneliness? I have laughed with them, Suffered with them And of course, have suffered for them. They have been there like the moon with the earth and the earth with the sun, in every orbit of my life. But still my solitude and its silent pleasure persists. Like the hurting echoes of the unspoken words... Still I find myself lonely Amidst the jostling and screaming herds. Is it because they seem so transient? Like a deceiving but fair illusion? My soul makes me question even reason by making it appear like a mere dilusion. The one who knows what we haven't questioned yet. Is in oneness with the ultimate bearer of souls perhaps. All our souls are destined to be one... And in oneness there is only solitude.

The Solitary Souls
As foes they head As friends they pause At every step At every cause As such we have been Right from birth Our mornings are loud That muffle our mirth We here say we are better And across the line They say its them! Wearing a past forlorn A present torn We puff up at each others loss Whose fault is it? Who is to blame? Shame on us as we both are the same We need confession We need to admit To clot the blood and dampen the heat But no! We have no needle to stitch the cause So fight we say And do fight! Sticking to old ways Like lizards,tight! Such meanness we show Small sentiments and feelings so low! Nor do they owe us Nor do we owe They call us foe We call them foe....
