#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.

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!!)

Friends, enemies, you
know them, but who is what, and --
how many are they?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!!!!!

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.

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

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 to clear our eyes
So we realise
The foes in disguise
Yeah the foes in these guys

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

We often forget that the person closest to us could be one
The one we always try to protect ourselves from

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.

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.

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....
