"mongers" poems
Dimension beginning of vile ****** exposed, And the Emperor has no clothes, While helplessly strut a mighty walk without a shame. Course of history repeating itself, Like the flow of water meeting in the river of streams, But recycle through the clouds and back to the ground it flows. Are we so blinded by the glimmer of the mirage of oasis in the desert, We toast with sands of dune to quench our thirst of our plight, And all is but a fickling light ducktaped by words of unintelligible muddled murmur? This is truly the flawed design of our time, When we no longer promote arts and crafts of philosophies, And religious cults of zealots condemned the science and Academia by berating it's achievement. Likes of ancient times of Agora and the height of it's human enlightenment, There are forces of deconstruction of society of choas ensued by hateful fear mongers, And systematic inward of national fevor of berserkers leveling progress. Maybe another dark age is inevitable, But little seed of hope I feel tangible, And sometimes event maybe a phoenix.

Flight of the Phoenix
I feel like a friend-- a true friend, is more than a profile on a website. And peace is more than a handshake agreement brought by the outcome of a gruesome fight. I know that self worth is more than someone's opinion, and in no other dominion but mine own to foster and care for.   And I can see that happiness is more than having money, sure, cause most of us laugh everyday here, and come on, we're dirt poor. And I pray the human soul is more than Casper's counterpart, somewhere between the heart and the pancreas. And God, faith is so much more than cryin' and dyin' over spilt milk between religions. And in case you were confused, "I love you", is more than pet names, bed games, and *** Music is more than pimps, hoes, and MTV Shows, and T-Pain singin through a computer. Believe that life is more than grades and degrees, or drugs and disease, or the 'ABCs' of success that some old man wrote a thousand years ago. This poem has to be more than words strewn together to voice my discontent at the status-quo.. Hell, the word "more" itself is more than a one-syllable statment that what we lack in the present is just a larger quantity of the **** "we already have", and no! The power of your silent agreement is more than that of my voice alone, so... What is "more"? In many ways, "more" is the friend you never had. More peace in the world would end all the mindless bloodshed. More respect and selfworth would bring beauty back to youth, especially to the women in the world, that sell their unique souls to look like the cover of Cosmo. More faith, that grants serenity in the times of hardship, will be the soothing hand of an Angel on our shoulders as we say, "I love you" to our enemies, martyrs for a better world. More positive music will inspire us, to be the change we want to see in the world, today, instead of, "Waitin' on the World to Change "♫ ♪ ♫♪ So ladies and gentlemen, make a decision: if you want to be critics and vipers, war mongers and hope-snipers, ignore my intention, and live with more division. But, if any of you are artists starving for meaning and inspiration, if you envision a world of more than... THIS... Then let a word change a feeling, change a thought, change a meaning, change your mind... And get more out of life.

The Sword of Non-Violence The time we born Is a age of war-mongers East to West South to North Throughout the World There's not a single moment You can't heard about a war It's a must in our daily life May be in lieu of civil war But it exists None can disobey it's presence And,where there is a war There must be a weapon And,in true sense war can't be without weapon There're so many varieties of this weapon Even may be countless But,once a person made exception Yes,he invented a sword The SWORD OF NON-VIOLENCE Strange it seems to be But,it's fact And,we should proud of him Because,he's an Indian We all know him as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Also renowned as Bapuji i.e Father of Nation We celebrate his birth anniversary as a holiday But,did we even use his weapon once in our lifetime? Surely,the answer would be no But,if we really respect him We should do so Isn't it? Think it off! And,last of all I would like to conclude with If he can so we too-Written on 02.10.2012

Five minute street artists and insomnia mongers. ****** drunk blondes and finger snapping phat booties. Street geniuses bred by Machiavellian philosophies cypher dreams over tokes of marijuana smoke. Color worshipping narcotic traffickers,   and bread winners parole corners sporting fitted caps and twisting fingers. Senile war veterans beg for change in cardboard boxes from the American dreams they afforded. Hard workers with every ethnicity molded into each pore of their face, rub shoulders with tourists at traffic stops barely escaping tires crushing their feet. Sartorial geniuses with no pants switch hips in knock-off stellos heels, selling the origin of the world on avenues next to Arab Halal food. Cooperate ties and blue collars chafe ***** on subways. nodding in and out of Daily News articles   while oxygen blessed by asparagus **** pump through their noses. Summa *** laude number runners dictate economies From sky-crapper offices, And powered rain swallows their concrete each winter, With no apologies.

War is a suicide, of the body and the mind, releasing spirits to the sky, war is a suicide. War is a suicide, a fatal sacrifice, of a life. When all the stars align, will we realize, that it is time, to end war. How can man, sacrifice his life, for a falling mankind. How can man, risk it all, just to fall. War is a suicide, a fatal sacrifice, of a life. When all the stars align, will we realize, that it is time, to end war. We're hungry for war, we're hungry for more, we're hungry for gore. We're the mass murderers, we're the world killers, we're the war mongers. How can man, sacrifice his life, for a falling mankind. How can man, risk it all, just for the great fall. War is a suicide, a fatal sacrifice, of a life. When all the stars align, will we realize, that it is time, to end war. War is a suicide, of the body and the mind, releasing spirits to the sky, war is a suicide.

War is Suicide
Today, I’m sharpening arrows to aim them at politicians with snouts in the trough, clerics who preach peace for themselves but hatred about others, academics who promote freedom of speech but run a Gulag Archipelago for those who don’t follow their own ideas or buy their textbooks, hypocrites everywhere, celebrities in general, people who don’t smile, people who aren’t nice, (why are they here?) fanatics, tyrants and power mongers, (there are a humungous lot of these) boring people, (they wouldn’t be boring if they could just try to engage a little more) and those who block supermarket isles with their trolleys while they stop and gossip. I’d really like to put a few arrows in their butts to puncture their pretensions and hear the subsequent hiss of preciousness unless they sincerely promise to be more considerate and try to love a whole lot more. Now. I don't insist they have to love prodigiously, but I reckon they could lighten the **** up just a little, and try to laugh more frequently. That's all. Mike T Minehan

Sharpening Arrows
5 million angels of God with a shortage of love 10 million small feet without a heaven to call their own orphans of a lost war, children of hunger and distress the loving nest in their parents arms got blown to shreds. So they suffer, innocent souls that have no were to hide in tears of pain, in between heaven and hell Muhammed walks in a drone strike a child’s future in the last thing on anyone’s minds Every day war mongers cultivate the future enemies of this land. Suffer the little children, the infants, the school kids, the toddlers In the hot desert sand burn and riddled with bullets lie their rotting corpses their small eyes staring blank into infinity and no one dares to close them sleeping on ravaged streets barely out of their strollers. Wish I could send my useless hands to heal their wounds the American invasion of Iraq became their tombs. Suffer the little children in sulfur victims of greed, lust for power and oil pray to Allah every night to care for them children without a future, victims of a war they didn’t deserve. And so they suffer.

Suffer the Little Children
nefarious nested newfound minds gather in dim-lit bedroom shining with love. taking seconds from an extended time frame. what eludes to harm done comes from adultration of a vision - friendship. it's been said, no loyalty with dope fiend drugdrugsdrug addicts. when under the greensmoke light of a cracked window and wheezing-- OH the wheezing-- of youth taking extra time to become tomorrow's electronic future. it's gonna be different than yester-year, dear. 20% of our feeble country engages indulges in this ancient sacredity &as; for you, my dear ones, sitting in the dark, jeopardy, saw IV, daft's harderbetterfasterstronger --"i've never seen so many colours!" my heart calls as yours does, for a future we're waking up to. we're not violent vicious vile backstabbing cold-mongers. if anything, laughing at them. quoting movies, queueing memories. preparing for world dissolution. i hate the bane too, kids, but we know who we are.

I've been going right on, page by page, since we last kissed, two long dolls in a cage, two hunger-mongers throwing a myth in and out, double-crossing out lives with doubt, leaving us separate now, fogy with rage. But then I've told my readers what I think and scrubbed out the remainder with my shrink, have placed my bones in a jar as if possessed, have pasted a black wing over my left breast, have washed the white out of the moon at my sink, have eaten The Cross, have digested its lore, indeed, have loved that eggless man once more, have placed my own head in the kettle because in the end death won't settle for my hypochondrias, because this errand we're on goes to one store. That shopkeeper may put up barricades, and he may advertise cognac and razor blades, he may let you dally at Nice or the Tuileries, he may let the state of our bowels have ascendancy, he may let such as we flaunt our escapades, swallow down our portion of whisky and dex, salvage the day with some soup or some *** juggle our teabags as we inch down the hall, let the blood out of our fires with phenobarbital, lick the headlines for Starkweathers and Specks, let us be folk of the literary set, let us deceive with words the critics regret, let us dog down the streets for each invitation, typing out our lives like a Singer sewing sublimation, letting our delicate bottoms settle and yet they were spanked alive by some doctor of folly, given a horn or a dish to get by with, by golly, exploding with blood in this errand called life, dumb with snow and elbows, rubber man, a mother wife, tongues to waggle out of the words, mistletoe and holly, tables to place our stones on, decades of disguises, wntil the shopkeeper plants his boot in our eyes, and unties our bone and is finished with the case, and turns to the next customer, forgetting our face or how we knelt at the yellow bulb with sighs like moth wings for a short while in a small place.

History has shown They will **** their own Before living with others in peace Have no doubt That hatred is as nourishment Sustenance Subsistence A necessity for existence They can not do without Burning hot as fire within the wretched souls Of those Whose evil knows No bounds Would **** you As soon as kick you Because your skin is Olive or Brown Or you pray to a Deity That your life revolves around The depravity The corruption Never cease to be astounded By Those that NEED someone to hate Who would these mongers hate If successful in their efforts To eradicate Everyone who was, from themselves, different? If they knifed all the ******* Burned all the ******* Chopped up all the chinks Would this, their hate, augment? If they tortured the towel heads Killed the catholics Hanged the homos Would this, finally, curb discontent? Or Would the haters implode And begin to feed upon themselves Would short people Shoot tall people? Would merely looking at skinny Make fatty incensed? Would brown-eyed people **** blue-eyed people? Would red hair and freckles Be a stoning offense? Would black-haired people Break blond-haired people? This is a hate poem… And hate seldom makes sense… But sensical or no… Seems the real status quo Matters love that we show There will always be those That just plain NEED Someone to hate

A SOCIAL DIVISION
"Chalk forest branches, Hermes of sylvan gloom, Dark mists that flirt with the narrow streams, Creatures that cherish the rayless nights, Faery spirits and carnage mongers All spread, at her feet, their obediences. To her willow throne borne on braided flames Lay heathen peregrines with claws and manes"

Persephone
The birds are twittering in the trees That stand outside my door, There’s only a pale grey dawning light ‘Til the sun comes up once more, The clouds are scudding across the sky In an early sign of rain, While the one I love went out last night And never came back again. She said she’d only be gone an hour That she had to see the priest, Her husband’s funeral’s coming up And she owes him that, at least, She went to purchase a single plot So she took my leather purse, To see what coffins the maker’s got And arrange a horse-drawn hearse. She only married a year ago And her heart is fit to break, She cried all night when she told me how It was all a huge mistake, ‘I should have married for love,’ she said, ‘Then I would have married you, But I let his money go to my head, So what is a girl to do?’ We talked and talked through the early hours, We talked and talked for a week, She came unbid to my poster bed Lay naked under the sheet, She said she never had tasted love As sweet as the love I gave, But I was thinking her husband dead And soon to go to his grave. ‘You really shouldn’t be seen with me ‘Til he’s safely in the ground, It wouldn’t be right, the folks would say,’ But Elizabeth just frowned. ‘A love like this could never be wrong, Let the gossip-mongers sneer, I haven’t felt so much love as this For the best part of a year.’ I said, ‘It must have been terrible To be losing him so young,’ And caught a glimpse of a glistening tear As she put her make-up on, ‘It goes to show how life can go In the twinkling of an eye,’ She held my hands, gazed into my eyes, And let out a heartfelt sigh. She came back late in the afternoon With a bundle of receipts, ‘It’s all arranged, we can get engaged In a month from Tuesday week. I told him that you had slept with me And you should have heard him roar, You’d better wait in the hallway while He’s beating down your door!’ My jaw had dropped and my face was white As I tried to take it in, ‘I thought you told me that he was dead, Before we indulged in sin!’ ‘He will be soon if you stand and wait And you want me in your bed, I borrowed the blacksmith’s hammer for you To hit him across the head!’ David Lewis Paget

Never to have felt the wind of change upon your flesh, to dazzle and dance on the precipice. One jolt after another, character un-built.. Rarely to have left the bed unmade, After nights of raw abandon, to gaze in a lover or a strangers eyes. To let go and curse the parachute. Teeth not brushed fail to bring forth the doom that was promised. Un-cut grass does not shield waiting monsters. Chipped paint and failing wallpaper tell a story. A brush with the law wont quell the gossip mongers. Alas, to be so safe quietens no mouth. For they will talk anyhow and the sun will still rise, regardless.

To be so safe
We yelled and staggered on We stumbled and many fell Detained in the perplexity No respite as danger pursued The ordeal ensued when In the midst of clout struggle The insurgents took up weaponry Determined to surmount a dictator That morning bewilderment originated Helter-skelter we escaped for safety Sad enough bullets out ran some Especially as cross fires existed We saw our Kinsmen reach for the ground As though caught only with fatigue But bullets indeed penetrated some They lay motionless as we lurched on Struggling to God knows where, We knew not our course No worst thing existed for us Like the cross fires we were trapped in. One by one we began to die that day Randomly death swallowed us up, While power mongers persisted Fired projectiles missed targets for us. We ran frantically in seek for safety Recognizing us as restless victims, The insurgents mercilessly began to Extinct us with great delight ‘No one is surviving the assault What do I do?’ I pondered hastily ‘Shall we all face our demise this way? No, I’ll live’ I determined Kinsmen had long fallen to rise no more This fact gave me impetus to survive To live and tell the story of the cross fires History of the fallen most be told to posterity Inspiration came to me at once I unyieldingly fell down as one lifeless Spilled, oozing blood entwined me The killers shoot till no one stood Everyone lay motionless in a stack I lived however not too sure yet The cross fires persisted for long That at one point I envied my kinsmen Finally, calm was reluctantly returning The government militia advanced The insurgents had not a choice But to retreat in dread of superior artillery We had unfortunately advanced towards The insurgents that we became the target Of the artillery that was meant to shield us Blames on the wrong tactics by the militia Abounded as calm was retained in days But I had a story to tell of the cross fires.

No, I’ll live’ I determined Kinsmen had long fallen to rise no more This fact gave me impetus to survive To live and tell the story of the cross fires History of the fallen most be told to posterity Inspiration came to me at once I unyieldingly fell down as one lifeless Spilled, oozing blood entwined me The killers shoot till no one stood Everyone lay motionless in a stack I lived however not too sure yet The cross fires persisted for long That at one point I envied my kinsmen Finally, calm was reluctantly returning The government militia advanced The insurgents had not a choice But to retreat in dread of superior artillery We had unfortunately advanced towards The insurgents that we became the target Of the artillery that was meant to shield us Blames on the wrong tactics by the militia Abounded as calm was retained in days But I had a story to tell of the cross fires.

Not just a political affair Or a public property Not to use for commercial purpose An individual right, a right of privacy it is Every single heart yearns for it Children from parents Youths from old ones Women from men and Men from women Lovers from the society Politicians from the law Government from the people Nature from these greedy evils ! A common wish of every soul Under a star is Liberty Carried a meaning and Few fame of tags, Liberty For one nation from the other For the poor from the rich Carrying lot of meanings With different names of tags Fighting for Liberty from Rapists,Serial-killers,Hackers, Rumor-mongers,Media maniacs Political monsters,hijackers Living with a fear to live ! Finally the soul too wishes Liberty from the body Leaving it a deadly skin Stopping its yearn to be free !

Strive for Liberty
The governments of the world have united, acting upfront but they’ve really gone underground, implementing a behind-the-scenes scheme to defraud the global-people of their money & sovereignty. While we battle semantics, terrorist & drugs, it’s business as usual for the real thugs, who keep filling our pockets with gizmos like I-Pods & I-Pads & tablets, modern technologies making our life’s simpler, draining us of our hearts & souls, forcing us to write about what’s missing in this universe of abundance, stolen by the greed-mongers. I love you kindred spirits, because you understand these reasons for such emptiness, this destruction of sacred spirit. While others talk about it & do nothing, you bleed your hearts & write about it, trying to save a smidgeon of humanity gone sterile. You are more true than any government on Earth, you are a secret society of scribblers, telling the truth.

Highly Suspect, Indeed
He turned and kissed her, He put his hand on her stomach to greet the new life, his voice a purr. Off to work he goes, But no one knows. Until this day, When our nation was turned into a useless fray, Where everything will soon be a monotonous gray. He forgot his keys, So he doesn’t leave. Maybe if he would of stayed a little longer, His life wouldn’t of been stolen, From terrorist mongers. He pulls away, Not knowing about this day. “Goodbye, my dear. You have nothing to fear.” A silver car, She thinks, “He won’t travel too far.” Little does she know, He will soon go. Go to a place with angels and things, Where he will gain his wings. When the news announces the attack, Her heart has been snatched, never to be given back. Going to the towers, Her heart plucked, like a balding flower. The towers falling, The children calling, A fatherless baby brought into the world, Never to be known as “Daddy’s Little Girl”. That was the day her walls fell down, That was the day, her emotions were in a bound. Clutching the Hopeless, The world in a mess. Our nation too soon to be broken, Before anyone could have spoken. Our people will climb back to their knees, Open your eyes, please. We can tolerate pain for so long, Before we proceed to right the wrong.

Towers Of Hope
in your face hell mongers you sit in judgement condemning the lost while your wings conceal gluttony envy, pr ide and avar ice like sulfuric eggs.

birds of pray
I might as well be a madman Drive that rusty red truck straight up Into a brick wall at breakneck speeds What does society need with another romantic A hopeless dreamer dreaming of a better world Just throw out the tonic and fill my life with gin Hand me the poison I’ve taken worse swill in There is no way I am going to win Against the corporate interest and the hate mongers The powerful money makers that make us monsters Just give me a good sixty to eighty miles per hour Then watch me turn into a gooey blood shower A swollen then exploding rare crimson flower As my body shatters cause it never seems to matters The politicians and the mad hatters run this show And I don’t see this life getting any better Cause I don’t believe society will heals it wounds We’ll just be open sores for all to see

Wounded Society
P.T.S.D. In a panic of mindless execution. Power mongers poured their scorn on brothers. Brothers in arms. Comrades, friends, acquaintances alike. All brothers in the band. Field of war a blaze of claret. Grass no longer green. Was a killing field. Seen all for real. Now a dream. A nightmare. A ruinous one. Crying. In sweat of chill he awoke. Seen too much. Seen too many. Destruction in a black robe. Hub-bub banging in his head. Night until dawn The racket ran in side his head. Visions through childlike eyes. Disturbed by evil images of war. Friends massacred as martyrs. Fight for hopeless cause. It was meant to be the war to end all wars. They all lost their lives. His friends. Nowhere left to turn Put a gun against his forehead. How he felt that bullet burn. She placed solitary rose of red upon the remnants of his head. Kissed his memory goodbye. Dropped to her knees. Started to cry. No one could tell her why he died. A true love. A good life. Gone in a gunpowder flash. By ladylivvi1 © 2013 ladylivvi1 (All rights reserved)
