#weaponized
This poem was mused by: "Shakespeare won't look at me" by Thomas_W._Case -----------------------------------  -------------------------------- We fill our lives with work and stress in the lust for new possessions we're taught that this is called success and it makes for good impressions But pleasures we’re taught to suppress so our souls will fly up to the heavens but this flesh that god has gifted us are our only true possessions If we find ourselves casually undressed which is frankly, our natural condition and if ****** needs should be addressed there’s no need for ****** confessions for pleasure is something to be expressed if we’re alone or in a marvelous coalition So I wish you satisfaction in elations quest as you work the knobs, slants and levers because this isn’t some kind of competition P.S. Will Shakespeare was familiar with masturbation's guilty thrills. "The expense of spirit, in a waste of shame is lust in action" . . A song for this: Flowers by Miley Cyrus

knobs and levers
Crimes gone on and on and against all humanity with a refusal to ever scrutinize Twist the rule of law to accommodate the blatant lies they prioritize on both sides That's the American dream, can only be seen behind closed eyes Allowed to look but can't touch the prize, that's the hook, the bait and switch slight of hand is no surprise A separate set of law books slipped in on the sly, guess the compromise One for the citizen and one for the almighty enterprise, just dollar signs in their eyes All for one and one for all, false bravado, see what happens when a nobody tries See how quick a global problem is prioritized to keep in check a global unrest notably on the rise Also on the rise, fear of a population turned unbiased congregation then weaponized Who exactly are the good guys? If it's a non zero number I'd be surprised Who would have guessed that building an enterprise on the lives of the little guys would be a possible demise? 🎼If you go into my neck of the woods prepare for a big surprise A lone baby cries it's own lullabies through innocent eyes as innocence dies The evil in people is all that thrives, it's never been the best of times🎼 ©2023

~•§•~ Sleight of Hand ~•§•~
You ask me for collateral As though you are preparing for battle A request I cannot deny For you I shall comply This apprehensive feeling When I reveal the pain I’ve been concealing I present to you a loaded gun In it, the bullets I hope to outrun Your grin is oh so charming This I find quite alarming You hold out your gentle hand What is it you have planned? Six rounds in this revolver I hope your heart will never falter A fear of mine engraved on every bullet The trigger—please don’t ever pull it So in your loving hands I place A loaded gun I wish not to face Of all this trepidation I am ashamed I pray to the gods I won’t be maimed And happily you smile, A devious act that's absolutely vile You point this gun at my heart In an instant you could blow me apart You say this gun is for your security So with it I give you all of me Six bullets in the revolver’s chamber I’ve given a weapon to someone quick to anger This malaise feeling I cannot shake Six bullets to the heart I will take In your passionate moment full of angst I know you won’t be shooting blanks

My Love's Revolver
so this night, I set stars heavy on my brow and paint my lips with ash a courting ritual, a lady’s rite— my warpaint is the lean of my hips, my sword, the word of gods in my mouth. yea, I will rule thee like the sea of my birth and the snows of my forests, and you will think it is you who are king. my warpaint is the curve of my throat, my sword, the feather-touch of fingers. do not think that I will hesitate to take what is divine right. the splendor, the agony, the death is mine.
