#killings
Death, why art thou so clean like pigs in mire why stoop so high to take away babes thrown away like the trash of trash left to be cuddled by dirt awaiting your cold verdict? Death, Art thou now dead? Why canst thou ****** murderers before their murderings? Art thou now at two a penny? How long will you dance to the cold blooded tunes of the wolves in southern Kaduna? Art thou no mind of your own? O poor man! For once liberate thyself from the whims of the wicked else, I shall resolve that thou art died.

Poor Death
Black Is it a crime to be black? Should i be castigated for my skin color? Am I less of a human? Or is the fear that I am more? I’ll leave that for later. They say black lives matter but does it really? They say their neighbours are black, that their barber down the road is black. They try to relate to everything black except what it actually means to be black. The white eye don’t see what the black eye sees. The white life don’t don’t feel what the black life feels. How can you play down a fear that you don’t feel? A fear that you instilled. Tomorrow isn’t promised but that doesn’t give you the right to take away my tomorrow today. I tell my kids they are the leaders of tomorrow but that is if that they can get through today. The victims could have me or you. Sadly could still be. Think of the ones that have been brushed aside, with no camera or evidence to prove a thing. Think of the pain caused over the years. The worst part is? This is not a one-off, painfully It is just a matter of time before this happens again. So do not tell me how to feel. I don’t tell you how to **** But it does seem like you do pick and choose who to **** Would you still be you if you could pick? That is for you to answer. The blood that you’ve spilled, it’s time for you to answer. If we are picking and choosing I would pick repeatedly to be Black

ang siglong magulo wala namang multo pero bakit maraming nawawala nalang bigla na parang mga multo kinuha ba sila ng mga kulto? nakalilito liko sa kaliwa sa kanan sa kanina kina kian ina ka! wala na sila alis baka mapatay ka yata? KABAhan ka na

Blood spilled Tears streamed But no matter how much you beg on your knees That’s what war can be The child cried as his mother’s body lied With the building burning to ashes Ashes to the ground, as you hear the child plea But alas that’s what war can be The man strangled out cries As his dying breaths suffocated Underneath the collapsed building, trying to flee But alas that’s what war can be Remember the father who starved himself so his children could eat? Who had been stripped from his luxury? His happiness, his love? Who wanted to be free? Is that what war can be? What about the brother? Who lost his leg, saving his sister from a shooter? What about the sister? Who died so that her brother could survive his gun inflicted blister? What about the children? Who think the parents went to the store? Only to have the parents in a Ranger’s view Lying on the ground, blood seeping through What about the men and women? Lined up, not knowing their final words Tears prickling, not being able to see Is that what you want your people to see? But that’s all fine Get the victims in a line For it’s all for honor For it’s all for power What do you think Goes through the people’s heads? Oh how great is our country, For being torn to shreds? Or oh it’s fine your son died, Even if you had cried All this bloodshed is just insignificant clatter to such an elite matter What about the bloodshed? The dead families? The orphans? The starvation? The pain, the agony? The tears? The lost homes? The children living in fear? The bonds broken? Is it all worth ego? While you bet the lives like a gambling casino? Imagine suffocating slowly and painfully, still having so much to do Imagine watching your mother die, right after she attended the stew Imagine holding your child, trying hard to erase all doubt Imagine living a life, where nothing goes right and about Imagine seeing your school friends cry While blood trickles from your thigh So go on with your slaughter But remember the mother Every eye you made shed salty water The sister The brother The father The farmer The doctor The peasant The teacher The student So hold your ****** weapons up high But remember That once blood is on the hands it never fades or becomes dry

My palms are growing wet Sweat has covered my trigger Night and day in enemies nest Operating like battalions of mere singers. I fight 21st century with 20th century bullet Blood on my face, wounds yielding deeper In shattered body my brethren in uniform rest Unjust funding makes our defence wall weaker. Father, I am in a wilderness fighting a shapeless war No back ups, no one is watching out for our fall Like we are dying for those who don't care about us Our enemies are in golden armor while we ride on horse. Mother, did the demise of my gun brothers makes the headlines? I heard the 'next level' was lunched on that day And my superiors disown us to dine at the front line Well, don't cry yet, I'm still alive at least for today.   Oh, my palms are wet and my hopes like a thread My eyes shed more tears than the blood my gun sheds We are too weak to keep pulling these triggers Aso Rock, upgrade us now or take us home to our fathers.

Weeping Gun
after every massacre by some fanaticized pathological idiot politicians call upon their citizens to come together and pray for the murdered and their families this is absolutely appropriate also absolutely inefficient but it seems that ever since 9/11 the nation only comes together AFTER more of its members have been killed I wish very much that the nation    AND politicians would come together BEFORE  the next massacre and take appropriate action to prevent such disasters in the first place

coming together [reposted with minor variations apropos the most recent high school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas - the 22nd school shooting in 2018!]
The scene was horrid, It is during the midday or late night I hope my memory serves right Prisoners are on their cell, innocents everywhere Just one guard at bay as I tend to the babies I heard them, I heard them right In the swine of criminals, only one deserves death They say.. they'll **** her I have no evidence but believe my address Listen before it's too late For these people are full of hate But who am  I? Just a child attending to your babies That is when they ransack the place So I cover the nearest child I see, as we all drop from the highest ground Such a horrible night For the same night lives were taken by million And my blood dripping at the back of my head. **** I wet my bed. Just a nightmare to share.

Horrible Time
Ø It ain't safe Ø Rejoice for every missed soul a bullet fails to slaughter.. Anguish and sorrow for every soul bullets used to masecure. Bullets..weapons of war.. used for hunting of innocent humans. Others giving resistence saying rights to carry over rights to live. No Rights to be protected..from demented minds and unholy mentions. A Country that fails to nurture and keep safe its citizens is perplexive. Can't relate to being (safe).. Homes Ø safe.. schools Ø safe.. work place Ø safe! It ain't safe!.. America we aint Ø safe! WithOut God in your Space! By selinasharday

shivers fill the bellies of oceans               swell to skies their wailing waves rivers curdle in fear turning black      reflecting dark demonic clouds of hate              from a crack in clouds              peeks a helpless sun in the deathly silence of vales                           line rowdy chariots of war murderous to be pursuit of wheels           more Earth to be stained with blood

Presence-Absence #3
Mirror Mirror on the wall Who's the fairest of them all? A lady wearing white and she's quite tall Running, slipping into the waterfalls Liquid pierce her skin, she heard the killercall "Lady, lady where did you fall?" Tears mixing with water, she never felt so small In the forest where she's the prey, predators are all She swam to the ends and at the end the lady crawl Her appearance was terrifying but once considered a doll The anger filled the man who got drench with ethanol Fire and greed should have perished the fairest of them all But how fortunate she is, God's with her all along.

Night Crawlers
justice    noun  jus·tice \ˈjə-stəs\ the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness. I woke up at midnight to the sound of a gunshot. I was beyond scared to look at my window and see what’s happening outside. But I gathered all my courage and got out of my house to see policemen and their vehicles, to see many people emerging to take a look at what’s happening. And then I saw a dead body, a man with a cardboard sign saying he was a drug pusher. It felt like my world dropped at that moment, I couldn’t sleep that night because all I could hear was the sound “BANG!”. The next morning when I went outside I was confused that the people not bothered, that they acting like nothing happened, that they did not care. I asked one guy if he knew what happened last night, and he said yes. I asked him if he was even terrified, if these killings are normal, if the sound that I will be hearing every night is a gunshot, and he said, “Don’t you worry. A gunshot means justice.” A gunshot means justice. It means if you hear it in the middle of night, it doesn’t matter if that someone is a person you know, it doesn’t matter if you know that person is innocent, because that gunshot means the thing we’ve all been seeking for. It means you don’t have to be scared that people are getting killed everyday without any due process because it’s for the better. It means watching your fellow people die but you have to be happy because they’re bad people, they deserve to be killed and it’s for the country. It’s justice, we’re killing criminals who deserve it. And we promise, innocent people will not be a part of this. But does justice mean a teenager getting shot by the police, and it turns out he wasn’t the one they were supposed to **** Does justice mean a 12 year old girl getting shot by a stray bullet when she was about to go to church? Does it mean innocent people dying, shattering a teenager’s dreams, taking away the lives of children? A gunshot doesn’t mean justice, especially to the victims. When we live in a Catholic country where people say we’re supposed to follow the bible but when it comes to this they all suddenly forget about God, when people shame you for loving someone because it’s a sin but we’re failing to remember one of the commandments of God, “thou shall not **** When we always say we need to forgive people, but drug users and pushers don’t deserve second chances, they deserve death. When they’re asking for help but instead of giving it they pointed a gun to their heads. They said this will keep our nation safe, but does safe mean being frightened to walk at night because you can get killed without even doing something, when the possibility that someone you know will die is too high, when you know that every night another person dies? But all they say is that what we have to do this, to be able to achieve justice.   But how can justice prevail when the thief who stole money from us got out of jail and is now living happily? When the dictator who stole and killed our people was considered a hero? When the top criminals of our country are now free? When the rich can be given a second chance but the poor gets shot instantly? How can justice prevail when our human rights are being destroyed and forgotten? justice noun  jus·tice \ˈjə-stəs\ rightfulness or lawfulness, as of a claim or title; justness of ground or reason There are millions of dictionaries in the world. And all of them have the word justice. Maybe they have the same, or different meanings. But the word justice suddenly becomes missing when we talk about the victims of the killings. (k.b)

By Arcassin Burnham I dream about seeing the light when it all ends, I'd rather be in that situation than sitting around With all these envying friends, Swear life is funny with killer clowns and random People that get hurt for no reason, Be on your guard for all of these things , including Freak accidents this season, All of the ignorance these kids are into nowadays Causing trouble from those bad lyrics, Such a sight to me, put yourself in the place of me And don't you forget it, Financial problems up the *** , you can't even cut some Grass even for a penny, So when you go to bed at night , your message to God should Have already been sending, Flame.

apparently we live in times in which disasters chase each other around the globe in never-ending sequence or is it just the real-time news media hype that gives us this impression? yet even if I generously discard the ****** massacres and crises far away there are enough rough dreadful things that even if they don’t affect me ****** do touch my heart and make me grieve with the afflicted methinks we’re coming near the point when the majority of normal people on our globe will rise an tell fanatics of all creeds to shove it take a shower just go home and let us live our lives in peace !
