"targeted" poems
To be a woman Is to be property To act ladylike Is to mold into the stereotype To speak up is unheard of Just go crawl behind the white man you see in front of you A glimpse Of steel is all you see before The warmth of blood drains every part Every being you thought to be strong Now gone Pick up the pieces Bandage that wound We have a war One that was fought before Blood on the knife Stained the suit of the man walking to the congress chair He holds it up with a smile And the other men in the house follow As they add it to the closet of achievements We are strong We are not blind to perspective We see in color Stitch up the knife wound Targeted at the abdomen Property does not fight back A piece of land does not speak words The cornfields do not unite To be a woman Is to have a voice One loud enough to be heard over laws That prohibit natural human rights Our bodies are not to be tagged by the market vendor down the street Politicians now playing a game of operation in their makeshift white coats Forgetting all that we have achieved Women's bodies are now more dangerous Than a gun on school property To have a body Is to have a choice To be a woman Is to bring justice and unity to all

For Old Times Sake
The lone wolf howls in the dark night, casting it's shadow over the pale moonlight. On the river banks, his prey, he silently stalks. Lurking by the trees, he, so quietly, walks. The innocent deer became unknowingly a prey. Targeted by the wolf, who lives astray. Ready to strike, upon the deer her pounced. Letting out a growl, "Beware" he announced. Alas, he missed his only chance. The deer ran away in a single glance. The lone wolf whined on his unlucky loss, staring at the footprints on the soft moss. He retreated back to his hiding place. "Rest," he thought, "Rest for another chase"

The Lone Wolf
He smiled at me and said 'here, take this' It was a happy little pill of his and it would feel bliss I smiled and gave him a kiss saying, 'thank you baby' But what happened next forever will drive me crazy Next thing you know I was spinning in my head Then he wanted to bring me to a bed His friends walked in and wanted more So they all called me a ***** little ***** My body was numb and I couldn’t move I let out a scream but they didn’t approve Everything went black but then again I woke But to them it was nothing but a funny little joke They locked me inside of a walk in closet So if there was a stir I sure wouldn’t cause it I blacked out again and woke in a different place Treating me as if my soul were missing and my body were a case Still I was unable to move nor speak But he still said he loved me and kissed me on the cheek I counted five inhumane beings on top of me moaning One was even playfully groaning I was disgusted and wanted it to end But I knew that after this my mind would never mend By now it would have been a little past three in the morning Earlier I should have taken that adorable face as a warning When they realized I was sobering up They had an alibi saying they’d call this a hookup When I could finally move my mouth again I realized what had happened and felt heavy chest pain They heard that I was muttering words that were incomprehensible They saw me as nothing more than a body and that I was dispensable They came up with a plan to hide my body in a ditch I even heard one say, 'she deserved it, what a stupid bitch' I hit my head when they threw me on the ground I only saw black in front of me and around I woke up to a woman asking if I were okay I only said one phrase and it was that 'I was betrayed' What happened after that is irrelevant at best All I will say is that I was nothing but stressed This is my story and it happened two years ago today Nailing an image in my mind that I was a targeted prey I know now that I hold so much more worth And I love myself more than anything on this Earth Just know that these words have come straight from my heart No matter how vile and disgusting this memory is, I can never restart So I tried to make it a poem so it seems like some kind of art. h.m.w

Emergency on Friday the 13th
As the rain came down like an ocean of water falling from the heavens the wind blew like a million fans blowing in the same direction I was wet, I was cold and I was struggling to make it pushing against the wind looking up was hard but squinting my eyes I could see a few stars in the night sky ahead of me I heard shouting and screaming a group of people were attacking an older Gentleman I questioned should I get involved I feared I might be targeted but I did the right thing, I got involved 5 people all young men started to surround me pushing me trying to force me on the ground punching and kicking one of the attackers pulled out a knife I feared for my life. As I lay their on the ground as the wind began to ease off but the rain continuing to come down with so much speed and force I remember thinking one thing, at least the older Gentleman was safe

Encephalon is the flagitious syndicate target To imprison the saintly and resistant population In the research agenda which is classified We are selected guinea pigs in a nightmare To the unethical secret operations Unknown to many, is the silent suffering Of isolated victims living amongst the community Satellite surveillance includes electromagnetic harassment That burning, thought stealing, control of limbs feeling I was done by the hoary Navy's sonar Poor dolphins washed up Cornwall's beach(1) After sonar echoed in my right lughole Mind control technology has evolved The community are recruited by false propaganda Thats the local police, council, library, not restricted to neighbours Old style Cointelpro is in play Discredited, slanders, and victim blaming Who can we share with but other targets Nobody asked which human is for "use" in trials?

Targeted Individuals Poem
The Great Debate started, Parliament was the open forest, electors were divided into two groups— Sir Fox's, and The Lion's, The first group wanted to overthrow the Lion from the sovereign head of the forest, It was a tough job to confront Lion directly, So, Sir Fox, appointed a Monkey as the Chief campaigner, and that monkey appointed other monkeys in the business, Scaring them with a story of vanishing trees, and living on the land increases the mortality rate if Lion Party continues. Monkey, the chief campaigner exclaimed, “We are not living in the rule of law but in the rule of Lion, All are equal, but the continuous target of a particular community, Like a beautiful deer, by another community in majority should be banned, Deers bring historic and aesthetic significance to the forest And need to be treated as the same,” Deers bellowed gleefully hearing this. Cows felt hurt, their exclusion from Monkey’s speech proved to be a setback to the Fox’s Party, Cows were the most targeted community by the Carnivores, everyone in the forest knew, Potential voters were lost to Lion’s Party. Polarising speeches of Chief continued, It brought Rhinoceros to its side, Seeing rhino in political rallies, Hippopotamus chipped in, To counter the increasing weight Political advisor of Lion, i.e, Tiger, persuaded Elephant to become an official member of their party. Hate speeches increased in numbers Giraffe, the bearer and upholder of law, Overlooked everything, the long neck looked tilted towards an ideology. Rumours became truth, truth became rumour Monkey was good in it, And an army of monkeys were excellent. Parrots, Pigeons, Peacock, **** Cuckoo, Cat, Loved the importance they got, Disseminated the Fox loving songs. The listeners felt threatened, They had an enemy living between them and they were considering them friends, They thanked the Parrot, Pigeon, Peacock for pointing them out. Now, biped hated quadruped, Quadruped hated reptiles, Reptiles did the same to amphibians, And in this way the whole animal kingdom danced in chaos, The fiery speeches of Sir Fox helped in creating illusion, The slogan of the Man as a common enemy was changed to, Feline as a common enemy, Felines joined Sir Fox’s Party, And Canines ran to Lion’s Party, Obvious was difficult to observe Obscure was easy to see. to be continued

I never thought about my whiteness, other than to realize that I’m ghost-white and therefore not as attractive as some tan buxom babe. I thought more about my economic status: upper middle class with plenty that would give me a leg up, that I knew I’d never lack for higher education. It has gradually occurred to me, though, that even though I may have a societal advantage being white and all that, I’m still a chick and therefore have several strikes against my success, or at least a comparable salary. Not to mention the load of ridiculous expectations to be mother, successful career woman, housekeeper, **** star, and ****** Hooray for the Bible Belt, where church is next door to the *** Adult stores targeted at hick white males. Hooray for my mother’s Texas family where it’s okay for an adopted daughter-in-law to be gay but nobody else is allowed and some of them will look down their noses at my Indian boyfriend and ask me why I’m diluting my blood with a foreigner.

If you want to make a profit (and the morality is grey) Dehumanize the victim and you'll be well on your way. In a country that's divided, and declining by the hour. Your sins will be forgiven by the Autocrats in power. As, once upon a time, in our then divided land Slavery was acceptable because a black was not a man. Then black people were possessions and very few were free. They knew the lash, they knew the rod, They knew not dignity. Now fetuses are parasites- not considered human beings Abortion is big business the cash cow of their dreams Fifty million have been murdered with no end on the horizon. ****** it appears, is acceptable as long as it's not you dying.) Someday you'll be old and gray- and have an awful cough Please don't be surprised or shocked if they opt to write you off. The weak and the disabled, those feeble minded or not spry can blame our liberality when it comes their turn to die. Eighty years its been since Adolf ****** rose to power Little children sang his praises too- and darkness had it's hour. Note:Nazi eugenics were **** Germany's racially based social policies that placed the improvement of the Aryan race through eugenics at the center of Nazis ideology. Those humans were targeted who were identified as "life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben), including but not limited to the criminal, degenerate, dissident, feeble-minded, homosexual, idle, insane, and the weak, for elimination from the chain of heredity. More than 400,000 people were sterilized against their will, while 70,000 were killed under Action T4, a "euthanasia" program.[1][2] (They will call it choice until the choice is there's alone) Funny but many will call me a reactionary racist for my position against abortion but there have been millions of black Americans aborted, just as planned parenthood's founder intended.I would not make all abortions illegal as I believe that I shouldn't legislate morality. I think they should be rare, legal and safe.

What is 1 to 1.5 currency to relativity urgency brings negativity It's not about new tools it withers your tools bring productivity The way you slap that old guitar, the way you drive that beat up car How fast does it run? How long does it last? How fast does it charge? New can only take you so far Let that distance your reach be derived from a skill, not from how rich or famous your are. I often walk, even though I own a car...I prefer feeling the wind, the open-air, it makes me feel like I'm apart of something The emotions I feel are driven from an organic substance, the dirt that I see the wind that I feel..these constant conflicts between what is man-made and what was here. The stare of a deer, the tree was its friend, it's now been destroyed to make a path of cement. That path of cement created a state of solidarity, urban prosperity, violence numbified by media regularities. Civilizations become the norm, even though we all barely speak to each other physically Digital formats become our literal floor mats, every result you leave results in a digital footprint, cataloged for the marketing lab rats Too complex to understand like a physical labyrinth, Let me elaborate So let me ask you ?! What is 1 to 1.5 Can you live without your social media vices, multimedia devices, tell me the definition of what "like" is Currency, urgency, thumbs up if you feel like every part of your life is an emergency, if so then share it, so the world can see Then watch your conversations about fashion turn into a targeted ad about a jacket that is burgundy Invasion of privacy? Not if your privacy is for the world to see. Coincidently that jacket is on sale, so if you buy it this theory will not fail, and if you don't the media will still prevail, it's presence is an entire quarter, meaning it's heads or tails. That's urgency hiding behind a veil.

They tell me I can do anything. Looking down the throat of a challenge. Hanging on to the coat tails of life by the fringe, above a fire that is trying to singe... ...Who I am My Identity Targeted by a self created entity. To bring me down... ...Below my potential to see what is essential through consequential actions. I AM A MAN! no matter my wingspan... I CANNOT FLY! And those childhood encouragements are a lie. But through accomplishing what I am capable I find that my boundaries are escapable. I'm not shooting for the stars, or looting and ending up behind bars, but I am me, myself, doing what I can so I'm not rotting on a shelf.

Accomplishment
A Man killing in the name of Justice A Brother slaying another in Self-defense A Son firing a round into an intruder in Fear A Nephew taking up a sword for his Country An Uncle giving up a criminal to the Authorities A Grandfather using his cane in response to Violence A Need for Power, Money, Fame. A Response of ****** Theft, Oppression. A Need for Justice, Vengeance, Retribution. A Response of Judgement, Violence, Restitution. Two sides of the same coin? Who is the villain? If both are the victims of the other, Who is Guilty? What then is Justice? Who shall decide? You? Will You be the one to throw the first stone? Do Good and Evil, Equate to Yin and Yang? Balanced forces of Light and Dark. Or, Is Evil apparent and easily discerned from Good? Contrasts of Black and White. If Neither, Nor, Do they mix into a swirl of indecision? A mess of self-righteous Grey. What if it is my own life I sacrifice? What if I am the one taking the bullet? Not in a suicidal attempt or mission, But instead in protection of Good. Am I the Villain for causing my ****** Is the intended Victim the Villain for being targeted? Are the Witnesses guilty for not acting? Are You guilty for being unaware? History is written by the Victors, So do they command Justice? Does History demand the mantle, Of deciding Right from Wrong? Everything unsure in the Present, Until the Future decides. If You name me the Villain, I’ll wear it in Red, Speak in Riddles, And break the Rules. But if I name You the Villain, Would You do the same?

As I sauntered on banks of Yamuna at night. I saw a man old, bent, with stick in dhoti white. Tardily, step by step as he came nearer to me. With joy I smiled as our own beloved Bapu was he. With tears in my eyes I asked, ' Bapu you are still alive! , those three bullets holed your chest, how did you survive? What happened to you? Where were you all these days? What you ate? How you lived? Now where do you stay? Condition of your beloved land is deteriorating day by day. Countrymen have left your path, they have gone astray. Your image, your killers are trying to malign and degrade. Berating your ways, encouraging means which you forbade. Hitler's advocates on chariots are traversing Nation's length. Day by day Fascism is gaining ground , gaining strength. Disguised as followers of Sri Ram, deeds of Ravan they do. Riots and killings are frequent, women and minors are targeted too. Terrorism nourishing on terrorism, cruelty at its worst. Targeting anyone, anywhere, time and again bombs burst. Once a land of peace, land of sufism, land of saints, now ****** Innocent souls being killed without restraint. Regionalism is being encouraged and taking roots. Unity of the Nation selfish politicians reduce and dilute. Corruption is increasing everywhere and in all spheres Even highest office of respect could not keep itself clear ' Passing his hand over my head he smiled and said ' I am just a spirit, long ago my weak body was dead. Daily with expectation I rise and daily with despair I die Daily my hope is shattered and daily with grief I sigh They may have killed me but now I live in numerous hearts They may write me down in history yet my message will dart. See this flag, colour saffron is dear to me, colour green I love. between them is colour white, colour of peace, colour of dove. Nation divided in three hurts me more than bullets three From casteism and regionlism country should be free. Communalism should not be allowed to raise its ugly head. With sword of constitution Fascism we need to behead ' Three sound disturbed the calm, beloved Bapu fell on the ground I went to help but Bapu vanished with words 'Hey Ram' echoing around Determined that this time his innocent blood will not go waste. I collected his non-violent blood in my pen like ink with haste.

Corruption is increasing everywhere and in all spheres Even highest office of respect could not keep itself clear ' Passing his hand over my head he smiled and said ' I am just a spirit, long ago my weak body was dead. Daily with expectation I rise and daily with despair I die Daily my hope is shattered and daily with grief I sigh They may have killed me but now I live in numerous hearts They may write me down in history yet my message will dart. See this flag, colour saffron is dear to me, colour green I love. between them is colour white, colour of peace, colour of dove. Nation divided in three hurts me more than bullets three From casteism and regionlism country should be free. Communalism should not be allowed to raise its ugly head. With sword of constitution Fascism we need to behead ' Three sound disturbed the calm, beloved Bapu fell on the ground I went to help but Bapu vanished with words 'Hey Ram' echoing around Determined that this time his innocent blood will not go waste. I collected his non-violent blood in my pen like ink with haste.

**** culture” ... Even the phrase slices my tongue and cuts like a double-edged sword of double standards. ... The same double standards that say that a girl who wears makeup is a ***** but says that if she doesn’t then she’s ugly. ... The same double standards that say that if a girl wears a skirt then she’s desperate but if she wears jeans then she’s stiff. ... Double standards that keep even the strongest girls asking “Who am I supposed to be?” ... The double standard that require **** kits with pamphlets like pamphlets are gonna help us get better. ... **** culture requires underwear for women with a lock on it, password and all! Buy one get one free, not of the underwear, but the rapists! ... **** culture, the same one you see on the news and in the streets and schools and stores and malls and parks and sports and on the ******* sidewalks. … This next line is for the man in the beaten up red car who cat-called me when I was 15 while I was walking to my friends house last summer: No thanks, I don't want to “smile, little mama” … This line is to the sixth grade teacher in my old school district who was fired for sexually harassing and abusing his students: Who do you think you are to be putting your hands up shirts of 12 year old girls? … This next line is for the man on the news who said “Well she was wearing a skirt, so she was practically asking for it” Excuse me, sir, but that glass ceiling was made of glass it was just asking to be smashed, right? ... The patriarchy shatters around their fragile masculinity and breaks into one thousand pieces before cutting the survivor’s wrists because no one ever believes them. ... This is the stigma that is delivered upon the doorstep of **** culture’s house by the UPS worker named “Societal Pressures”. The package that no one wants to receive. It knocks at your door but you try to keep it locked. ... “Knock knock?” “Who’s there?” **** joke” **** joke who?” **** joke who isn’t ******* funny”. ... **** culture is the societal pressure that is put on us to be beautiful, not for ourselves, but for the man who sees us every morning. ... **** culture is the demand to smile for the old man that we just passed on the street near the bakery but keeping our mouths shut when we have something to say. ... **** culture is standing in front of the mirror everyday before school making sure that I can't be targeted for anything that I'm wearing. Looking at every seem, every angle, every button and zipper. ... **** culture is how I (along with my friends) can't walk by a group of boys without pulling up our already uncomfortably high necklines and ducking our heads. ... **** culture runs in the veins of every girl, woman, and man that is subject to society. ... **** culture is the phrase I'm not supposed to say but I say anyway because I deserve to be heard.

Inanimate
Tragedy struck At just age 13. My innocence- Murdered in the rain. Not the physical rain, But the rain of my tears. My story is different, But just as terrible. He stole the beauty Of my soul and heart... Leaving me dark and alone. He ripped my confidence Away with a single tear. "I love you." The lie he told Has made me unable To be loved. "You're so beautiful..." Another lie he told Has made me unable To believe this truth. He ruined my beautiful, White wings from God. He replaced them with Skeletal outlines of what Once was. My lovely face has been Scarred by the streaming Tears down my face. Clawing at my skin, I try to wash away the guilt. "But the guilt is not yours." They say. "It isn't your fault." "It isn't your fault That he is an evil man. It isn't your fault That he targeted you. It isn't your fault That he took advantage Of a little, naive girl. It isn't your fault. It isn't your fault. It isn't your fault. It is not your fault, Elizabeth."

My Story.
The smell of my mother was Cigarette smoke of cigs targeted towards independent women was Perfume of a woman too old to accept the fact that she's aging was Clothes from the early 90s and mid 80s which all smelled the same was Skin which smelled yellow from her habits was Breath which smelled the same was Red lipstick was Hair dye was Lies.

The smell of my mother
Sublime sun, no socks and cigarettes, concrete jars each step. My finger strokes the trigger aimed at a perfect fullness, targeted to smash smooth surfaces. This shooting gallery also houses art. Sparks of adrenaline fuel blood, hot lead flows through veins. Like a toast has been raised by a crystal tapping, the scene lies in focus. Every melon visible, I choose a victim. “Every dog has it’s day”. An ******** squeezing, as splatters land upon tatters, a cold slime slick of fresh pink flesh. I lap it up. Second on the list: I’ve always wanted to hurl a pumpkin from a third floor window, watch the flecks of orange explode all over the grey concrete below, a bulbous bursting of gourd upon ground. An exuberant exhalation of at last: I have got something done.

Shooting a watermelon
It seems to me that those who are most passionately opposed     to the currents of power     are those who are actually the most optimistic     about humanity.     For it is those who believe     that we deserve better.     It is those who believe that we are actually     better than we treat ourselves.     It is those who believe that we have the power     to empower ourselves and     the self-control     to be in control of our selves.     When we live in a society where the deeply optimistic     are targeted as terrorists     and their souls are devalued     with bullets and their bodies cut up     by tabloids pretending to be churches,     we can not be drugged into nihilism.     Instead we must drag ourselves out of this trench     and feel the slugs pierce our skin     and go through and through us     and exit into our dreams, leaving a hole for our dreams to bleed     into this world.     And when we run out of blood we can rot     into our own imagination.     And we will dissolve and our bodies     will become the Earth.     And the Earth will become balanced.     And the Earth will spiral back around     into a bionetic noosphere.     Because, honestly, I think the Earth is sick of having a split personality     and we are here to bring you sanity.

Psychoactive Linguistics
there are those who read this stumbling bumbling work who are truly beautiful compassionate people thanks beforehand for understanding me without judgement IN SEARCH OF THE LOST CHORD i've been searching all my life for the lost note there is a chord in the cacophonistic chaos which is my existence i simply miss my otherwise nimble hands simply can't bring out the magic the music the majestic harmonies which i hear in my mind but are not translated to my fingers i believe it is due to my assertion that i was unloved as a child i was not a planned pregnancy my mother fell on her stomach and i was a preemie I was not touched as an infant due to this i was in an incubator i was also severely neglected as an older child due to my mother's inability to cope with two very small children (I was born nearly one year after my sister) I have also been TARGETED for twenty years by by the "CHURCH" of SCIENETICS (name has been changed) so if I am slightly dark and seemingly insane in certain respects this is why ONLY GOD CAN HELP ME I've already learned not to play my music drunk or ****** but i am still in search of the lost chord ♡ love ♡ Catherine
