#scourge
Holstered at high noon Blistering with festered wounds First of many moons Fire raining down Tap a vein of blood in the ground Void of life and sound Shelter for relief Burn the place around my feet Respite that I seek Perish in my youth Yellow candles light the room Cultured yet uncouth Painted red the town Carnage glistens all around Gone and left to drown Woken by the cries A place I still recognize Dreams arrive to die Atone and bleed the sin An evil presence descends Quell the rage within I won't die in vain Nefarious and insane Poppies soothe the pain Worn upon our sleeves Phasing unpredictably Nature of the beast Tread lightly forward Origin of vile scourge Yet ventured onward Grains of salt and sand In reunion holding hands Flee this barren land

haiku 19/8/25
pain with no script subterranean roar pressing call pushing through unkempt wasteland places we don't see lest they confront status quo hidden from all but the sharp as echoes we meet find the persona sear like another stinging coal on splintered frame bent from carrying shadows cast on the lake of fire's unceasing scourge

unchained pain
there's a monkey in my television he doesn't speak well but he sure talks good hes a real politician Mr Do Right he much appreciates my support while ******* in every room of the house marking his territory which is everywhere and promising lavender horizons with words like a luster of stumps turning lives into vagrant shadows freezing dreams like skin tags he's **** high in **** and graft having *** ****** an American way of life while he grandstands   riding a tricycle on the ceiling all business like a lazy worthless ******* with a slush fund and no limit to what he will do flanked with mullah lawyers and the clergy minions lackeys and body guards he sits terminal  upon a throne like a jagged mouth sure to be swallowed struggling against the menacing whispers of those do wrongs and the unborn world soul disgruntled a slave to being a tyrant ready to **** all transgressors of his vainglory and a willing toilet mouth to all above gobbling and grateful   when they flush the god of money ****** leading by example and serving with distinction
