In the digital l-and We l-ive in Mistakenly automatic One pointing at a chest of tools Eyes on i No soul can tell a part a weakling metal Robots robbing robbers rich T-error terrifying t-errorists Artist gods and goddesses Sharing platform to unleashed gifts Mint hue bubbles squeak Fizzy dizzy violet haze World head to toes spins Any day it spins coins in change A quiet girl is sinister Siren of mystery or future Robot is your mirror Peach chin with teeth filter No innocence and glitter litter Guilty until proven the latter A quiet girl a terrorist Error mouths terror twist Terrorist from the orient They hide in between every end Disguises they cover in Racist as problem solving Smile girl watch A fake smile and eyes Skin of steel so is her Heart made alloy How it blazes to the touch when heated Oh it bites fingertips as it's cold Hair resting on the curve of her spine A woman's hair only breaks if it tries to grow What she said Tell me if you can tell us a part Warning tears borne from her crooked eyes Robot and soul Terrorists from t-errorists No soul knows either Tattoos or memory shall identify you

Terror in a puzzle piece
Hi there. Sometimes it hurts to think. I'm driving around in my hometown I saw this old park that me and my friends would run and laugh and play at all the time. We played cops and robbers Lava Monster Freeze tag We acted like knights in strong armor and princesses with glittery dresses and we all slayed the dragons Well now here I am staring at this old swing set that no one swings on anymore. I used to think that I could touch the clouds with my feet if I swung high enough. There is something so lively about a group of kids laughing and playing on a playground. There is something so eerie about an old empty playground where no one goes. That playground used to be so alive. Now the swing creaks as it sways in the slight breeze. You can almost hear faint whispers of the kids laughing from years before. Now all those kids are adults with lives and responsibilities that are much more important than slaying a dragon. The wood has splinters that get stuck in your fingers. It is not shiny and fun anymore. It used to be new But I have found that everything changes eventually. I wish people didn't leave so unexpectedly. Anyways I am just rambling but next time you see a playground just try to look away. it hurts to think too long Bye.

Hi there
Lollipops to cigarettes Cooties turned to pregnancy The cute little girls and boys we once knew at recess are no more, some are drop outs, some are on the news for ****** and others have seemed to disappear from existence How did this happen? How did the life we knew so well as children, filled with jump rope and four square, turn into the monstrosity of modern society The drama now is about boys, drugs, and flunking school, the only so called 'drama' back then was when someone else had the blue crayon you needed to finish your color by number Computers, televisions, and phones take over the lives of children nowadays, the big pass times when we were kids was to go back in the woods behind our houses and catch salamander, play hide and seek and cops and robbers when it started to get dark Now? It's lying to your parents to go out and get drunk, skipping class to go smoke **** and and turning the lollipop in your mouth into a cigarette Did you ever consider that the lollipop tastes better? That maybe this sticky strawberry mess gives you a better outlook on life? When you're a kid and you're happy with your crayons and hopscotch you don't care what problems you're faced with: if someones lost; find them, if someone's feelings are hurt; say sorry, if you wanna lose weight; lose it This lollipop of yours has turned an upside-down world right-side-up again creating brighter perspectives and healthier pass times So instead of curling our fingers around disgusting cancer sticks and pregnancy tests, maybe we should grab hold of that lollipops taste and lever let go...so the only downfall to life, is cavities.

The epidemic of conformity consumes all Children play by board game rules Stifled by the world to paint a proper picture They draw flowers of red with stems of green Fields of wildflowers viewed as weeds enveloped in insecticides Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet That is a rainbow, in that order alone We are taught to live by the colors in a box of eight crayons But even so, those colors cannot make a proper rainbow A rainbow should be praised if drawn in mixed-breed hues That field of flowers, natures pallet We should begin with a box of 124 and grow infinitely Where lilac dragons can live in cherry trees Where those waist-high weeds hide the predator from the prey For where would we be without cops and robbers, or hide and seek In a world where out of sight incites widespread panic Children's laughter in the sun is slowly silenced by the rules Instead, embrace the joy and encourage creativity We should harbor imagination and develop unreality For it is there that is born the ideas that will form the future

Conformed to a Rainbow
With a body wrapped in a crimson dress, she bears a violent temper. Shining daylight, raging bewitching, captivating cunning. You arrive with starry eyes and cheeks flushed like a ****** In her curly hair, autumn curtains hang—roaming rays hot. She glows in the night like a pictorial wall with hieroglyphics concealing madness. You step elegantly, but you're a dangerously stealthy predator. Grassy hills in floating flames burn beneath a voluminous haze. Her look describes fabulous waterfalls, endlessly flowing and shining in the coming dawn. You associate with robbers and kings, but they do not understand, and no one will save you. Lovely eyes sprinkle enchanting rays, her lips intertwined like a rose petal. Her heart enticingly calls with her fruit to be drunk. You hide in the nightlife, dress up, and do your love magic. Neck fashioned in autumnal garments, wearing scarlet ruby earrings. Her pink skin smells of perfume, inviting like a grape on a vine. You invite visitors with your charm to carelessness, forever forced. Her lips are flowing bewitching rivers—intersecting strokes of crimson. They bring a dream to taste her deep soils and her artfully carved forms. You are determined to captivate without marrying— you stay lost in rebellion.

My easel, has been asleep for a while, like a whale on the lost deep seas finding a prey to victimise to sate the belly full. Your easel, sees in my eyes the robbers on the blink of an unruly end finding recognition in social media to favor ego to sate the belly full. Your easel, is a mellow fine lens Hands in line holding a gun set a trigger, to silence the crowds the doom in the public cruise trollers and vipers with wipers to sate the belly full What have we come to dear friend? we seek fame and lose our self to the shadows of the masses who denude our dignity to gain their sanity to sate the belly full What have we come to dear friend? in the spaces of the contours between dehumanised by the social media the medium of the century voice the armageddon of currency that sate to fill it's belly

Robbers (Art Poetry: Social media dehumanisation)
Superhero I have a pipe and dark sunglasses, taking names and kicking some ***** I'm a powerless superhero, they call me Captain De Niro. Owe me money, you better pay, or pain will be on your way. You better not be selling drugs, or my lead pipe will give severe hugs. Don't be ****** any innocent women, will be breaking your hands and fingers, all ten. Molesting kids and you don't wanna know, the dumpster, your ***** I will throw. I don't allow any peeping or stalking, with broken legs, there will be no walking. I'm one of those modern day vigilantes, on my head, I wear my wife's ******* Can't leap a building in a single bound, like you, I get dizzy when spun around. Can't go under water and summon fish, I prefer them on my eating dish. No fancy car or a sidekick, but my pipe can break a brick. Don't have an invisible jet, like you, I'm in deep debt. People have no idea who I am, I might be Steve, I might be Sam. Just a man who hates violence, I hate people that are spineless. I catch bank robbers in the act, the odd against them are fully stacked. I help keep crime off the streets, can't count the number of villain defeats.

Me, I play the piano said one me, I play the violin said another me the harp, me the banjo me the cello me the bagpipes, me the flute and me, a rattle. And they talked talked talked about what they played. No music was heard everyone talked talked talked and no one played but in a corner one man remained silent: "And you, Sir, who remain silent and say nothing, what instrument do you play?" the musicians asked him. "Me, I play the barrel ***** and I also play the knife," said the man who until now had said absolutely nothing and then he advanced knife in hand and killed all the musicians and played the barrel ***** and his music was so true and so lively and so pretty that the daughter of the house’s owner came out from under the piano where she lay bored to sleep and said: "Me, I played hoop ball, chase I played hopscotch I played with a pail I played with a shovel I played house I played tag I played with my dolls I played with a parasol I played with my little brother with my little sister I played cops and robbers but that’s over over over I want to play assassin I want to play the barrel ***** And the man took the little girl by the hand and they went into towns into houses, into gardens and killed as many people as possible after which they married and had many children. But the oldest learned piano the second, violin the third, harp the fourth, the rattle the fifth, cello and they all took to talking talking talking talking talking so that no more music was heard and all was set to begin again!

Fingers cut palms as hands turn to stone And a catapult hurls the projectile home Knuckles collapse from bone meeting bone Down in the alleys where miscreants roam Suggestions of violence fill gutters with blood Fill heads with the sense of nefarious thrill Their skin turns to ash and their brains into mud Rage in the kingdom of eager to **** The children are soldiers who train everyday Cowboys and Indians, Robbers and Cops ****** is plot and the actors will play Portraying the place life will come to a stop Violence is cancer, and love is no more Edge of our seats waiting for the next war Dedicated to the deceased and forgotten, Love and Peace

Violence, a sonnet
sometimes i get suicide bombers, rapists, killers, robbers and thieves because their motives are visible through their actions. but i never once in my life bothered understanding businessmen, pastors, priests, muslims, religions, politicians, and people whose motives in life remain hidden until caught red handed, and also those people who choose not to see the world naked for what it is. maybe the UP activists are right and that i shouldn't think of them as brainwashed kids or just paid heads to do what they do but their actions, my thoughts and this poem doesn't change anything. i bet 100% of you who are reading this would either think i'm deranged or seeking for attention. i could go on and on writing this **** and explain thoroughly but the people's brain are now wired to ex b's hit single and yes, mentioning that made this a little bit funny but no. as a ******* filipino who should be typing this in tagalog, working overseas, i've seen some fellow countrymen showed some pride against their oppressors from work but they don't get anywhere but jail. i must've forgot, the movie about manalo trampled the one about heneral luna. see how helpless we are in reality? what's your photo that comes with a bible verse got to do with others? are you spreading the word of God? what does it do to you? Sometimes I get The New People's Army. But I don't get Muslims who runs businesses and the Chinese too. Sometimes I wish I could spread fake news that doesn't harm others and last but not the least, I hope someday the world would stop not and smoke Marijuana all at the same time including North Korea. I couldn't stop. I also hope that these people, those who has a lot of followers use the attention properly but no, people are so ******* dumb and Salinger is right with Holden's, "People never notice anything" and nothing's too big if people will stop creating bigger things that'll only add up to the congestion clogging up the world. and Allen Ginsberg is right, we are breaking our ******* backs just to lift ******* Moloch. **** your Mosques, your INC branches, your corporations, your religions, your borders and divisions, your trends that kills the minds of the youth. **** your laws, about making Marijuana illegal. **** your disguise and your intelligence. I almost believe world cleansing is the answerbbecause the ant colonies are so much better ruling the world. I don't know anymore, my smartphone's ****** and I am not smarter. . .

Donald Trump's presidency Is one of the greatest achievements in art I have ever experienced And Trump is a true artist He takes words from the page Like corruption, disenfranchisement, xenophobia And brings them to life Highlighting fear and paranoia so clearly Contrasting the blacks and whites Emphasizing anger While reminding us we're mere infants In the digital age And warning us of our seniority And capitalism's We all like to think life has meaning Until we hit an animal with our car Then that's just the way things are And I'm staring at an absurdist painting Of a child driving a car Through a herd of sheep As I watch a heist film Where the robbers turn their guns over To the mentally unstable guy in the group Trump is a national artist Placing riots on the map And drawing infernos on the Internet His art forces an opinion Everybody has something to say about him And it's all true Even the pages he ripped from his own cabinet Tried to villainize him in their script But he was already an anti-hero The humor is that the mud slung onto him Is dirt kicked up from his own tires I guess if you surround yourself with hateful people You're surrounding yourself with people who probably hate you Trump's art is deeply conflicting He reminds me of the people who want me to live in shame Yet he embodies the individuality that separates me from that shame His insecurities remind me of myself High school is the White House in the eyes of a kid And I had secrets I wanted to share But felt I couldn't I learned things That changed my entire perspective And didn't think people would understand Afraid of being assaulted for my indiscretions I hid behind a boisterous personality And a nonchalant attitude Trump's art evokes sympathy and hatred that feels so strong When he holds a mirror defining our worst qualities To a man viscerally opposed to his own reflection The confliction of emotions Is the hallmark of great art We are all artists The lines we write or the strokes we brush Are in our actions And Trump's canvas displays A life filled with accomplishment Inspiring me to live my own life But I still wake up in cold sweats From the American dream That anybody can be president

It was the day the toilet broke, the day the bank was robbed when my wife walked out, suitcase in hand. Her head blown off on the pavement in the gunfire between bank robbers and police. It was that kind of day. That evening I had the toilet repaired.

I think my mom's a homophobe I think this because she said broken truths when I told her about homecoming I told her about the girl with soft lips and small hands that fit perfectly with mine But I just called her Haley I had new words she told me They suspiciously matched my schools words Freak abomination loser I now wonder if they were talking on the sidelines I know I'm supposed to love my mom But do I still have to If she hated me first? She praised the all loving god onto me Telling me his love was a lie And I was going with the sinners To the place where they drink fire ***** I think my mom's a homophobe I text my religious cousin Does God love everyone Undoubtedly because you are perfect to Him Then why does my mom hate me? She made me get on my knees and pray Pray a prayer I hope goes unanswered By those who I think aren't even there I think my mom's a homophobe I know I'm supposed to love my mother But how can I If I don't even know how to love myself? Every What is that You're such a waste It can be cured Like a snake on the asphalt basking in the hate Until the asphalt is the road and I am run over by Self pity. Self Hatrid. Self Absorbed. Yes **** the terrorists **** the rapists **** the robbers and the muggers **** them all Because who I love Is more important Me, I'm in dire need of your opinion Mirrors don't line my eyes up anymore I think they forgot where to put them Because I forgot Where to look Looking only at the negative Going on suicide boards Instead of Love boards Why am I the one being subjected to evil When I am only trying to love Being hated for only Loving Mirror mirror on the wall Who is the prettiest of them all My lover is the one I see Her soft lips and small hands I think my moms a homophobe And I don't know how to breath anymore

I was never a simple person but I craved simplicity like I craved my grandmother's strawberry jam I loved school, whistling and everything taller than me They reminded me of my father I hated screen doors, cracks in pavement and goodbyes When I was four he left me all those tainted things but I loved him Four years later my mother asked me what I wanted for Christmas I told her I needed a baby brother I used to spend every night while he slept at his feet When I was eleven, my mother moved us to a new city There were a million games of cops and robbers and my first boyfriend, Spencer He had blond hair and eyes so blue they put my brother's to shame He told me he loved me under an oak tree kissed my cheek and got so red in the face I thought he was going to burst My mother was in University and had the softest piano hands Her eyes were glossy from all her tears I collected them in my jewellery box heart There were rust on my edges and hers I was a rusty by product of drunk unintentions A mathematic, scientific accident Not a young mother with high hopes and goodluck On Sunday afternoons I played hopscotch on my babysitters driveway, I was nine On Sunday evenings he brought me to his secret lair He'd secretly touch me in all my secret places I hated him I think he hated me too When I was six, I wanted to be a teacher Ten years later, a man with a medical degree told me I couldn't have babies I couldn't look at another child, so I figured teaching wasn't my best option Plus, I've never been a fan of teaching children not to make a mess I spent my whole life making sure it wasn't messy When I was fourteen, I wanted to run away I wanted to go to Europe with my best friend Oskari he cut his arm and told me he couldn't really bleed he didn't feel anything I wanted to bless him I wanted to read him Jane Austen in an open field Under a single sycamore tree We never made it When I was seventeen, I ran away I moved in with my father's mother He has her eyes, just like me That same year I met a boy Who rode a stolen steed to my grandma's couch Made love to me all night took on me on walks and sent my heart off to the races He made my life a little simpler

Merrily swinging on briar and **** Near to the nest of his little dame, Over the mountain-side or mead, Robert of Lincoln is telling his name. Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Snug and safe is that nest of ours, Hidden among the summer flowers. Chee, chee, chee. Robert of Lincoln is gayly dressed, Wearing a bright, black wedding-coat; White are his shoulders, and white his crest, Hear him call in his merry note, Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Look what a nice, new coat is mine; Sure there was never a bird so fine. Chee, chee, chee. Robert of Lincoln's Quaker wife, Pretty and quiet, with plain brown wings, Passing at home a patient life, Broods in the grass while her husband sings: Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Brood, kind creature, you need not fear Thieves and robbers while I am here. Chee, chee, chee. Modest and shy as a nun is she; One weak chirp is her only note; Braggart, and prince of braggarts is he, Pouring boasts from his little throat, Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Never was I afraid of man, Catch me, cowardly knaves, if you can. Chee, chee, chee. Six white eggs on a bed of hay, Flecked with purple, a pretty sight: There as the mother sits all day, Robert is singing with all his might, Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Nice good wife, that never goes out, Keeping house while I frolic about. Chee, chee, chee. Soon as the little ones chip the shell, Six wide mouths are open for food; Robert of Lincoln bestirs him well, Gathering seeds for the hungry brood: Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, This new life is likely to be Hard for a gay young fellow like me. Chee, chee, chee. Robert of Lincoln at length is made Sober with work, and silent with care, Off is his holiday garment laid, Half forgotten that merry air: Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Nobody knows but my mate and I, Where our nest and our nestlings lie, Chee, chee, chee. Summer wanes; the children are grown; Fun and frolic no more he knows, Robert of Lincoln's a humdrum drone; Off he flies, and we sing as he goes, Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, When you can pipe that merry old strain, Robert of Lincoln, come back again.

Robert Of Lincoln
Merrily swinging on briar and **** Near to the nest of his little dame, Over the mountain-side or mead, Robert of Lincoln is telling his name. Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Snug and safe is that nest of ours, Hidden among the summer flowers. Chee, chee, chee. Robert of Lincoln is gayly dressed, Wearing a bright, black wedding-coat; White are his shoulders, and white his crest, Hear him call in his merry note, Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Look what a nice, new coat is mine; Sure there was never a bird so fine. Chee, chee, chee. Robert of Lincoln's Quaker wife, Pretty and quiet, with plain brown wings, Passing at home a patient life, Broods in the grass while her husband sings: Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Brood, kind creature, you need not fear Thieves and robbers while I am here. Chee, chee, chee. Modest and shy as a nun is she; One weak chirp is her only note; Braggart, and prince of braggarts is he, Pouring boasts from his little throat, Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Never was I afraid of man, Catch me, cowardly knaves, if you can. Chee, chee, chee. Six white eggs on a bed of hay, Flecked with purple, a pretty sight: There as the mother sits all day, Robert is singing with all his might, Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Nice good wife, that never goes out, Keeping house while I frolic about. Chee, chee, chee. Soon as the little ones chip the shell, Six wide mouths are open for food; Robert of Lincoln bestirs him well, Gathering seeds for the hungry brood: Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, This new life is likely to be Hard for a gay young fellow like me. Chee, chee, chee. Robert of Lincoln at length is made Sober with work, and silent with care, Off is his holiday garment laid, Half forgotten that merry air: Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, Nobody knows but my mate and I, Where our nest and our nestlings lie, Chee, chee, chee. Summer wanes; the children are grown; Fun and frolic no more he knows, Robert of Lincoln's a humdrum drone; Off he flies, and we sing as he goes, Bob-o'-link, bob-o'-link, Spink, spank, spink, When you can pipe that merry old strain, Robert of Lincoln, come back again. Chee, chee, chee.

I remember my old Grampa And the way he used to look He had so many stories He was much better than a book I remember on our visits While the folks would head outside Gramps would get us grandkids And take us for a story ride He'd hitch up the hay wagon We'd get up and off we'd go Then gramps would start to talking And so began the show He'd tell us all the stories Of our folks when they were young Some he had to censor, And sometimes bite his tongue Now, Grandpa told the stories Whether we were in or out And we'd all sit and listen To what they were all about When we'd gather by the fire He'd pull up his rocking chair He'd have his pipe and all us grandkids And his dog, Whiskey, always there We'd all sit in front of Grandpa We'd want to take in every word And he would speak up louder To make sure that we heard He'd tell us tales of Cowboys Of bank robbers and the trail Of how the west became the west And how his horse once lost his tail The folks would gather round too When it was almost time to go But, Grandpa, being Grandpa Wasn't set to end the show See, he'd told the tales forever To our folks and all their friends You could tell that some were truthful And in some the truth....well....bends The older ones among us Knew deep down that most were fake But, to see old Grandpa work the room Man, that man just took the cake We'd get together monthly All us kids stayed close to home We weren't like lots of others Who had that built in urge to roam The stories, we'd learn later Were mostly from TV He'd be talking of those cowboys And of how things used to be A few years back we lost him His dog had up and died Gramps old heart was broken He couldn't take it, though he tried My brother tells the stories, Not as good as Gramps at rhyme But, the kids all hunker round him I'm sure that he'll be good in time We still go on the hayrides Tell ghost stories now instead To all us grown up grandkids We still hear grandpa in our head Each month we get together There's near a hundred now in all The kids go with my brother And he tells tales ten feet tall The stories are consistent Of old cowboys and the west I can close my eyes and listen And still like Grandpa's versions best

Grandpa and The Stories
I remember my old Grampa And the way he used to look He had so many stories He was much better than a book I remember on our visits While the folks would head outside Gramps would get us grandkids And take us for a story ride He'd hitch up the hay wagon We'd get up and off we'd go Then gramps would start to talking And so began the show He'd tell us all the stories Of our folks when they were young Some he had to censor, And sometimes bite his tongue Now, Grandpa told the stories Whether we were in or out And we'd all sit and listen To what they were all about When we'd gather by the fire He'd pull up his rocking chair He'd have his pipe and all us grandkids And his dog, Whiskey, always there We'd all sit in front of Grandpa We'd want to take in every word And he would speak up louder To make sure that we heard He'd tell us tales of Cowboys Of bank robbers and the trail Of how the west became the west And how his horse once lost his tail The folks would gather round too When it was almost time to go But, Grandpa, being Grandpa Wasn't set to end the show See, he'd told the tales forever To our folks and all their friends You could tell that some were truthful And in some the truth....well....bends The older ones among us Knew deep down that most were fake But, to see old Grandpa work the room Man, that man just took the cake We'd get together monthly All us kids stayed close to home We weren't like lots of others Who had that built in urge to roam The stories, we'd learn later Were mostly from TV He'd be talking of those cowboys And of how things used to be A few years back we lost him His dog had up and died Gramps old heart was broken He couldn't take it, though he tried My brother tells the stories, Not as good as Gramps at rhyme But, the kids all hunker round him I'm sure that he'll be good in time We still go on the hayrides Tell ghost stories now instead To all us grown up grandkids We still hear grandpa in our head Each month we get together There's near a hundred now in all The kids go with my brother And he tells tales ten feet tall The stories are consistent Of old cowboys and the west I can close my eyes and listen And still like Grandpa's versions best

(Inspired by article below) I. Continuity your filibuster egg of sand dazzled curiosity with creaky shell of hints heaped upon the tedium of knowledge's unfurl undeterred by encyclopedic impatience Assurances of rip(Van Winkl)ed economics shooed paper strings of revelation like anarchy-powered taxes summoning a foreword to anachronistic campaigns of environmental friendliness II. Meanwhile years have been filed down to flashes of chronology for continuity's organic rebus However long it took the economic karma to fall into the abodes of hedonistic pharaohs it was instant Skin that ruled behind the constitution of allergic breath bailed on the bones against their most sublime intentions Limbo-treading landlords huddled in their mummified freeze after breadline bashers scolded them with the spoils of a new brand of pyramid scheming Robbers of the coffin palaces stole the intimations of identity theft from today Immortality and freedom were compelled to share a meaning like estranged siblings or bound dynasties I(a).

VALLEY OF THE OTHER KINGS
*Who are you to judge? A person called a murderer* Who made his hands ***** because he's provoke Because he choose to live An old man who robbed a store Because he's desperate, hungry and sick Whose mother is dying in the hospital and has no money to extend her life A mother who leave her child She, who doesn't have the privilege to study and live a normal life Because she doesn't think she's good enough to support her daughter's needs *Who are you to judge this people? Don't you have mistakes of your own? Who are you to say harsh words to them? And who are you to exclude them from second chances?* How do we differ from murderers If we wish those people we hate to death How do we differ from robbers If we steal their chances to be better, to be something different And how do we differ from mothers who leave their children If we abandoned those people who deserve forgiveness *Who are we to judge? We're not god almighty And we don't know their story So cut the crap and stop judging*

Judgemental
Nobility divine fills gaps of transcendence,     Soars to and from the throne heavenly, Exalts morals near the king of ascendance,     Patrolling the good, and sons of the seventy. A duty forgotten, replaced with dependence,     On prayers rarely heard, and logic of a herd - Divinity is far in absence; man in attendance,     The book is a third, and teachings are blurred. Andeliviuan corruption supposedly erased:     The creation rotten of Sariel, wanders gaily. The holy and fallen angel’s doing embraced,     By the clay beings caressing evil like a frailly. By God not, who from heaven him displaced.     Yet, the legacy of the wrong stands humanly, In Thailand, America, Palestine, and all graced -      A grace of sinfulness celestial and worldly.   Religion is the poor’s only ultimate truth,      the rich’s side hustle, and the rulers’ tool; It is the loss of power that defiles the sooth,     The one the poor has not, but does the fool. Robbers’ servants, bread crumbs consumers,     Toothless **** dogs, emaciated lost tramps, Little blind pawns, vultures’ puppets, tumours,     And wrenches they are, the upper hand’s lambs. If only Raguel’s judgements fall upon man,     Raphael’s punishment beautifies this existence, Gabriel’s wrath makes not all humans ane,     And Michael saves us, the Sarahs, in assistance. In the heart deepened with old repression,    That mounts with plenitude of filtered feels, Resides a universe yearning for expression,     In a meat clay who feeds on calories of meals. Man, in the genesis, in the light, in the dark,     In prosperity, in turmoil, triumphed with vices; vileness, abuse, wreckage is our sole mark,     On this planet whose population is in slices.

Since then...I allowed my heart to take whatever form it wanted. I trusted the process, letting the heart mould itself as it is supposed to. I had ample faith that the end is far....little did I realise the end is right next to me. At first, it felt like a bulldozer had savaged my entire being. Your words left my mind empty, without a way forward. A deep grave of hate slowly formed...that is where you would end up. As appetizing the thought...I want nothing to do you. Even you residing in my den of enemies is not worth it. I have done a thorough clean up of hoodlums and heartbreakers like you. You seem so pointless. This anger towards you is pointless. I look forward to the treasures that will bloom from this. I'm convinced there are treasures. You have no hold over my dreams and I refuse to allow my heart to slump in your filth. It was hard, felt like the world was dumped on my shoulders, soul dark and heavy, mouth dry and tears flooding my living room. But after a serious self-talk....I remembered my worth, remembered you mean nothing to me....you have no hold on my destiny. The love you spoke of was and is fake. I don't need it. I don't need that sort of make-believe love which has no truth... The kind that loves the idea of love...yet despises love itself. I have no place for thieves and liars....robbers and fakes. My mind keeps telling me this is for the best and that better days are to come. I feel sorry for the one you chose, she knows nothing of your hoodlum ways and smooth tongue. Coated with every lie possible yet disguised with a fake-romance finish. She knows not of your empty heart... your inability to be real... your other side... your effortless ways of hurting another... precious time which meant zero to you... your exhausted yet experienced hands.. your over used 'I will wait for you'.... your conniving ways disguised by caring efforts... your smile and charm packaged by pure deceit. She is clueless. And so in love....I shake my head in despair for you dear sister. I trust you will not endure the heartache I did. I hope he will see you a better person than I. I trust he repects you. Genuinely loves you. She will bear the brunt of your heart smashing ways. I am done and over the 'could haves & would haves'... New day brings new opportunity. Time to listen to my soul and feed my mind. Re-enjoy the beauty of living and re-mind myself of may chosen path.

The first time I kissed you (again), we were sitting in your car, under shadows and street-light orange, and the impression I was going inside. But then I found your NERF gun, which you said was for robbers and slow drivers, but proved more entertaining for girls who like to sit in your passenger seat. So we broke into a scuffle in pools of orange light abandoning  seat-belts and any pretence that I was leaving to wage an epic war inside a parked car over ownership of the polystyrene darts. The end came when a missile was lost to your backseat, and we both reached for the NERF gun, and that kiss I'd been waiting for since I'd first put on my seat-belt materialised between the space above your handbrake and a little plastic gun.
