"assassinates" poems
Negativity is meaningful. It's detrimental and cynical. It deluges inside our heads. Making us feel insecure, unwanted and useless. They will prosper and thrive to reach out and make us feel smaller than them, to get inside of our minds and make us look in the mirror and see what we don't want to see. It eventually assassinates our minds. It dwells on top of the positive thoughts. But YOU need to remember that YOU are worth more than anything in this competitive, sick world.

Silently time slowly assassinates.
Interrupting important moments i
Longingly wish to keep immortal.
Endlessly enduring everywhere.
Numbly numbering my duration.
Continuously calculating a tragic
Extermination of time in silence.

Love is,
Such a random assassin,
Love comes in,
As a personal whirlwind,
An amicable tangent in tandem,
With unbridled passion & reckless abandon,
An alluring assassin an emotion overloaded with action,
It strikes like a seductive serpent when it happens,
Seemingly striking at random,
Even when the attack is the result of meticulous planning,
Leaving the subject of it’s Love looking up scratching their head,
Dazed & confused wondering what the heck just happened,
Capturing what can’t be imagined it surprises even the wisest,
Has its target in its sights for awhile while schemin’,
But the lovestruck don’t see it until love strikes like lightning,
Breaking down all the defenses of its all too willing victims,
Without pretenses, premises or agreements,
Love jumps down from the clouds pounces out of the shadows,
& assassinates all shady characters without reservation,
Striking silently without sound then vanishing like a phantom,
His heart pounds,
He’d marry her if she’d let him,
But she’s still chasing her own imagination,
So instead of embrace him she’s on the run like an escaped felon,
Scared of a future with him,
Because of the past she had way back when,
She’s so caught up in the past of what she was back then,
That she loses sight of what she has right now with him,
& that’s just one of the reasons why love is,
Such a random assassin,
Love comes in,
As a personal whirlwind,
An amicable tangent in tandem,
With unbridled passion & reckless abandon,
An alluring assassin an emotion overloaded with action,
It strikes like a seductive serpent when it happens,
Seemingly striking at random,
Even when the attack is the result of meticulous planning,
Leaving the subject of it’s Love looking up scratching their head,
Dazed & confused wondering what the heck just happened…

MAN WITHOUT HUMANITY
A lion does not **** another lion
A tiger does not annihilate another tiger
But a man slaughters another man
For his own selfish reason
A brother kills his own brother
The sin or crime he does not bother
Man is given wonderful brain
Most times it goes in vain
Man assassinates man in the name of religion
Or for the mere difference of region
A woman burnt her own daughter
The illicit contact is the real matter
Man is worse than a beast
He does anything for his own feast
Shywolf(a fellow poet) is rather depressed
Because man’s humanity is compressed
Man should preserve his own race
He should never lose his grace
Let’s all pray for world peace
And not divide it piece by piece

Nobody wants to be like,
Liked yes, similar no.
I know twins,
Both their initials begin
With R, RR And RR.
They are known as the
Orrorrs at school.
There is no need for like,
Not even of minds.
In poetry,
( to my way of thinking )
Like is a joker in the
Pack of words.
Heaney is fond of it and
Mary Oliver even began
A poem with it.
" Like Magellan, let us
Find our Islands.
Like assassinates metaphor
And debases simile.
But who am I to criticize
The masters of whom I
Aspire to be Like !

Goes through the heart and kills
Assassinates your will
Upon this cursed hill
Powerful , you shall stay
Put pain and power in duel
This fight seems to be perpetual
Never ending , eternal , immortal but you will
Remain strong as for pain they pray
God's tears fall down like floods
Burn their flesh and make an ocean of blood
Out their veins , for they forgot who is god
Dear god , for your soul I shall slay
Poisonous is the curse inside
Let your wounds open wide
Spit the poison out , never hide
Feel the strength , for I shall guide
