"torturers" poems
Never allowed to grow Beyond ornamental, Small perfect leaves On small well pruned branches; To please the eye Of miniature torturers. Cramped in a micro life, Roots restrained Within un-natural boundaries. The promise of a tree Never really fulfilled, Beyond a whisper. Fussed over relentlessly, Like an O.C.D. Perfect shape and form, Trained from natural beauty, To sit on a shelf Hidden from reality.

I want to shrivel like a raisin Curl up into a ball From your rounded little basin (of friends) Of all the torturers, you're the most cruel I wish to stand up to you But my knees are to bruised For begging for forgiveness And my lunch money too But I can't and I shan't And I never shall As I'm the weak little girl Bullied by all

PANIC ATTACKS ARE FUN! Ayad Gharbawi A waterless feast for the thirsty Torturers Struggling to restrain their base Infamy Hungry ravenous ******* eyes Smiling grotesquely At their Prey Wingless birds The nightmare is still swirling in its Intensity Variations of horror And perpetual stalking fear Shaking eyeballs Blurring visions Colours far too strong Piercing Sweating inside Palpitating heart Driest mouth Piercing Beyond any reason Pointlessly running From the excessively, maniacal seething Fear Never ending The deformed visions deepen Yet disconnecting themselves From my shaking Self Withering my ‘I’ I see a threatening ugliness staring at me I know I am victimized How can I get out of this? Filthy stench of a greasy pit! Where are the maps? The guidelines? Where are the physicians? Promoting this vicious Civilization That I do swear Is even sicker than I am For you have left us all Stranded Surrounded In a surreally insane No Man’s Land

Panic Attacks Are Fun! - Ayad Gharbawi
There was a boy who had to learn very young how to fend for himself Fore his family never cared enough to remember to put food on the shelf The streets can be harsh for one so little But this boy learned quickly and so he gathered enough coin to purchase a fiddle Sitting on the street corner everyday The boy would place his coin plate and then he'd begin to play At first the crowd was small But soon the boys song began to lure all The plate grew heavy with many of coin and his belly was always full But good fortune can only last so long when you live under the Devils rule His parents grew envious of the boys coin and fiddle so one day the boy left to go play He returned to find his fiddle broken and pieces thrown every which way His plate of coin was in his father's hand He said 'boy you do not need this much coin, these riches are meant for a man' The boy could do nothing fore he was too small So the next day came and the people waited for the fiddles call They began to protest when the boy did not show Marching to the boys house refusing to go The father came out and said there was no more fiddle Then the boy stepped out with his chin held high trying to not look so little The crowd began to cheer when they heard the familiar song The boy held his mended fiddle proudly as the crowd began to sway along Out from the crowd stepped a old woman who had sold the fiddle to the boy when she saw he was in need Then he brought her the broken fiddle and she gave him a new one with the promise that he'd be freed The woman stepped up and took the boys hand She looked at the father and told him to get off her land The old woman, not known to the boys parents, owned the town and would not tolerate this type of sin So she had the boys admirers run them off and then she banished the boys torturers from ever returning again

Sometimes I've had about enough All these ******* buttercups Puckering up At the first scent of gruff It's disruptive To my mustering I mean Must we Smother trouble out of **** Must we malfunction Into a skit A script Skipp-ed To laugh tracks Pre-writ Until the last laughs Where the curtains close To fading claps All the cards Are all on the floor Little adorable torturers Peering through the doors Afforded by our tor-mentors Over it We will get Even get on with it Cuz all of this This is that and that is this Is ******* ridiculous Is worthless It is foulness in its stench The bowels of our regret Unkempt and ****** It's ******** soaked in **** Where the credits never roll And the patrons only stroll On outta here for a beer And a night on the town And all this Flapping of the gums And slathering of spit Is glossing over my **** And it's all we will ever get If we would just submit Wipe the sand from our ***** And remove the ******* sticks We might find We have loosened up a bit Just don't be such a little ***** And other inflammatory **** [That's it]

Cigarette burns A nearly-broken arm Spit ***** sandpaper, A face rubbed in the mud. So used to all those other names I quite forgot my own. It was all dealt with differently back then, Not really condemned. I was made to feel that it was my fault For not conforming To social norms. I brought it on myself. I hid under the stairs Tensing, sensing Their approach Anticipating spit, and pain, Determined not to cry again. They found me, of course They always found me I had nowhere to go. The hiding places were easily unearthed By jolly torturers. Eventually, It was easier to join in And self torment. It took me years to ditch those angry habits And some of them Have never gone away.

Old Scars
You see I've never been good at this whole love thing. Not to you Nor to me. Love is but a torturers way of tearing you apart. I will never say those words, I will never feel their meanings. I will build these walls up around my heart In order for mw not to feel In order for me to forget. I'm nothing more than a failure in the love department. I can't love my family, I can't love my friends. You see to me love is a shout into the black abyss... So dark and unbecoming Is a four letter word really worth all the pain?

Love is my biggest failure!
In the far corner lay her frumpled boots, a monument to humanity's hidden truths. Daily burdens of mental, physical abuse, the toll mounting without allay bygone fears kept at bay   years of growth wither untold crumpled underfoot by inhuman lecherous controls. nethered by these leathered souls. A vice’s grip is a cowardly clasp. winds change, fogs lifts, grief finds strength in the past, Dismay, now the torturers sheaf.   Confidence steps forth empathized by another’s sorrow World unites with each behold, of leched acts that lurked in the shadows exposed by truth in the dawn of each tomorrow.

fell in love with yesterday's smile a photo at the beach its thousand words i wished to hear you speak though they not went unheard by these eager ears and hungry eyes i was famished by the need for you my lonely heart throbbed an unfamiliar rhythm a silent mating call and i heard you then, too mind flooded with premonition and demolition of heinous memories of previous torturers employed by heaven to learn me something worthy of heirloom wisdom for my time and for the times to come fell in love with yesterday's smile before our faces met your photo at the beach spoke to me in languages not of my mother its words transcend the time i worship for now what i worship is you

****** Recognition
A poor roman whose blood spilled, Far from the homeland of patrician Is how I feel currently. As wounded as I currently am By the grins little devils address to me I chant glories of my torturers as they ax me down What are they going to do with my bones. Would they sport it as jewelry, closer to their hearts? What are they going to do with my flesh? Have a relish on it? What if I was destined to be a prey, not even taking a glimpse of your love by any other mean than pain... Can I still envision it as some sort of gain, with it being the price of my very life And so, my very dignity, or I shall say the remnants of it, are defunct along with me

Lost thoughts of an Exiled Soldier
I'm being tortured. Being pulled apart slowly, painfully, and in all of the places that make me scream the loudest. Satan has given me my own personal demons. My torturers. They have ripped my skull in half. They are experimenting on different parts of my mind. Finding where it causes me to writhe in pain. They have started to rip the skin over my chest. They have found my heart. They are cutting it to pieces. They have taken my lungs. They are squeezing them..making it impossible to breathe.. yet God is barely keeping me alive. Why? Why do I feel like Job? I'm not strong. I don't have the strength to keep my blood flowing. I feel it. They are going to snap my spine in half. Soon. So very soon.

Dark thoughts
You, sir, I think I made the mistake of trusting you, sir. I think sometimes they tell you people That teenagers have nowhere to go and no one to talk to, So when one speaks to you You are the only one they have ever spoken to, And they only one they will ever trust. You, sir, are the light on the hill! And yet I never saw a brightness die so fast. I told you about the depression first. Yes, I admit it, I was scared; There had never been enough people to tell me it was okay To be mentally ill, that it wasn't something I'd chosen, It was a flaw of chemistry not of character. Yet I clicked that door open for you and let you in, That was step 1. I didn't tell you about her next. But to be fair, I didn't know about her, either. I came to you about him, when I was lost. You berated me for my trust issues; I swallowed it and knew it and you told me to stop. He was supposed to be the next good step. My fault, and I know it.   Step 3 were the voices. When I told you there were voices in my head I tried to explain to you that I was not crazy The chemistry between me and my brain may be bad But it's not insanity: Only memories, only torturers, And I didn't need another one. When I told you that my sexuality was not straight like a pin But waved and diverged to both sides That I was not a het, I was a queer You were more kindly than the congregation And I mistook a warning as a welcome. I was troubled but not condemned so long as I did not "practice." Well I did not practice for it but when I kissed her and when I kiss her I remember your words and look into her eyes and think That there is no practice in her or in I. Our lips meet and I feel her warmth and her hands are on my hips And I tell you there is no "practice" There is no practicing for love, Not a single rehearsal for passion and commitment. Sirrah I would do it again and again Like the waves I will continue to touch her shores, No matter how many times others may pull me away. If you meant to abandon me for me, You should've told me sooner.

His teeth were ochre pebbles From the smoking of His pipe— He bowed down to my bleeding feet And sang God-awful tripe “Life is but an odyssey, Can’t you open your eyes and see? A lot of it is smoke and mirrors But the rest is truly ecstasy!” He tapped my crimson, gushing foot and got up from His knees To sit down in His musk-rose bed where He settled His old head. My face began to boil red until I could no longer contain my head and I burst out at my Old Man hoping it’d make blood flood from His hands! “Just who the **** do you think you are, God? How can you say you see? You know nothing of the Earth And the nightmares that it breeds! Did you notice Abu Ghraib, the torturers’ many ways? How theft is easy for gangsters While children starve for days? Puh! You just sit here on your musk-rose Cuddling its soft, fuzzy petals, You’re nothing but a spoiled child Who has never desired to run wild!” And at this, Father whispered from his bed, “Capricious, I have been But I cannot be blamed. People choose their lots in life For free will is their fame. If I gave them acres of land and a home that doesn’t weather, their bones would turn to tether. You think I owe everyone the world, And all the fruit it grows, But the sweetest peach you reach yourself, And this you already know.” When my Father’s words had stopped My eyes caught the throbbing wounds; The skin blanketed the open flesh And Dad said, “The infection won’t heal soon.”

Jesus Confronts God
It's ok to have the pain written on your face It really is no disgrace It's ok to see the sorrow in your eyes Please my friend drop your disguise For I know the past torturers you And the future is hard to pursue I know the past is the living dead It gets up in there, and ***** with your head It walks around in there and gobbles down All the happiness that can be found It feeds and it scatters All that gray matter A different point of view is hard to be found When you've made the mistake of looking down Turn your eyes to the skys Where all the winged things fly Trust is a must, let go of the rope You'll learn to fly, never give up hope A leap of faith is all it takes To finish in this mad rat race

TLACAELEL The weeks since last we met found Hungry Prince Of late locked in his tower, casting scrolls Which chart the star-crossed charms of the occult. And in the predawn darkness of his arts, He broke through to a voice from the beyond Which whispered that the throne of Mexico Must soon come to be ruled by foreigners. PRIEST OF TLALOC And thus the emperor submits to trial, And these, their wagers, are red herrings, then. TLACAELEL To spare us the demoralizing news. The spirits’ hands will steer them to reveal If this prognostication failed or not. PRIEST OF TLALOC The ***** in motion. Let the gods decide. TLACAELEL Motecuhzoma falls! The ball is down! The ball is down! PRIEST OF TLALOC Dust rises, and our lord is lost to view! TLACAELEL Three in a row! Were we left hanging, then, For torturers to **** by small and small? MOTECUHZOMA and HUNGRY PRINCE reappear. MOTECUHZOMA [aside] I’ve lost then, but the full significance Of that word “lost” I’ve yet begun to know. Gods need not lie, and here we have their words. Well, let it come. [to Tlacaelel] Unseal the wagers, lord, And read before these noble witnesses The stakes we trusted to you at the serve. TLACAELEL First, the abortive fee for Hungry Prince: King of Texcoco, had this victory Been won by his imperial majesty, And you had failed, your forfeiture had been . . . [Opens the first wager.] The loss of all your lands, your courts, your throne, And all, for your opponent’s acquisition, Decoronation to a common man, And forced prostration to this gentleman. HUNGRY PRINCE A staggering ransom! I must thank the gods, Not for their championing me, but truth.

Yet another night of dismay, Falls upon the land of the tortured And they pray, May this night be over And the morning brings the light, Not only to a world that's ending Not only to a soul that's bending their knees To the torturer, The omnipotent, The ones who called themselves God; And torture poor souls until they're afraid, And weakened, Hopeless and blind To hold the freedom of sunshine. And now they surrendered themselves lest they should die in misery. The weakest of them are now covered in mud, As an example of defeat. "You must know where you stand, Fear my presence Obey my commands! 'Cause I hold the power Against all of your freedom, Be my slave, Dare not to withstand." But they do. They stand together every time, Hoping for a day to come Where they will grow out of this mud, And their blood will collide into the sea, As an example of great sacrifice. They will bloom like the sunflower facing the sun, "The sun is our freedom, We might break, we might fall Nevertheless we will ever run. Because we believe in one true God Who created us, Who wants a better world Filled with good souls, Where peace exists And so does redemption. We surrendered our souls Not to rage wars Or to stand over the pile of dead bodies and their ashes. We served our spirit To create a world as pure as heaven. Heaven exists only for them Who serves for good, Who loves wholeheartedly As every human should. Hell exists for those, Who claims to be a saint Yet deep inside they are Just a soulless sinner, Burning in their own ignited flames. So tell me, The great rulers of the world, The ones who called themselves God And promised to make a better future, How long would you deny The slaughtering of thousands of men, women and children In the name of betterment? How many lives would it cost to make a better world where peace exists? Where happiness is not only a memory but reality. How long would you hide under the coat of your power, Claiming to reach heaven When you're only one step away from hellfire? Is this how God brings peace upon the face of the earth? Or is this how God arises to put an end to this despairing world To all of these miseries. The tortured souls and the torturers, The deceased and the despised ones, You must know, you must prepare Because the end is near.

How many lives would it cost to make a better world where peace exists? Where happiness is not only a memory but reality. How long would you hide under the coat of your power, Claiming to reach heaven When you're only one step away from hellfire? Is this how God brings peace upon the face of the earth? Or is this how God arises to put an end to this despairing world To all of these miseries. The tortured souls and the torturers, The deceased and the despised ones, You must know, you must prepare Because the end is near.

i am a moth drawn to the flame of despair flutter through the air no care for body just the burning of my soul the yearning to know what it feels like to throw everything away in hopes that dawn is close closer then is possible that time flows faster when you're giving your all for the promise of tomorrow where tomorrow is worlds away from today and its sorrows and that sorrow will someday be a sweet memory to borrow from when the joy becomes too much to bear i am a moth in a world aflame it looks like hell but apparently hell other people and i'm sick of feeling sinful for feeling the sorrow of my fellow tortured torturers they tell me i'm too hollow that riding the updraft is no good and being tossed about the firestorm is for fools and i'm as flighty as a feather in weather unsuitable to be out in yet i'm part of this world and to lock away my soul sounds abominable so a throw to the wind to see where it goes it might singe but it's worth it: the sorrow i am a moth telling myself i'm not and blaming it on outside sources but being honest shows my woes are my woes and everybody knows their own and i just speculate and spectate; trying to know my fellow moths

I know that it's twisted, But, what love isn't It steadily grows in your mind, Vines intertwined, each branch is a vessel To the heart of the blind, because that's what love is. Simple, how it complicates When it breaks, There's no remedy for how it aches The mistakes, that you so awkwardly pursue, Are the branches that lead to the, I love you Now tell me and listen, Let the quick sand, quicken As you drown in the dust Of what you cooked in the kitchen You thought it was religion, When you said your vows, Like an animal you're stricken When they, she, takes you down, Simple, how it aggravates, When you take, Your last step. Hard to believe it when you feel A back-stab wound, You're all consumed, You want to crawl inside, With the rage that love has blinded, The truth is harder to take, Than any magic pill you make, Any time a simple memory, Sneaks up to say, 'Hello!' You're breaking every mirror To not see your face bellow. There you go, it's twisted, But, what hate isn't, With nowhere to go, You feel like the convicted. So you're trapped in a life, That you don't want to be in. You'd love to start over, Just where to begin? Tears are like, rain on the window of your cell It's fine when you're here, No one can hear you yell. Anything, so long as you forget that smell, The one that's so good, it's like poison in the well. You want to drink. God you know how much it hurts when you do. Hey, take another sip... It's not like the memories are through with you. They're like the torturers And you're a rat in their cage. An experiment sometimes; Life. It can go both ways. You just never believe in bad fortune, So why bow to the danger? In the depth you're so hollow, Because inside is a stranger. There they are again, The tears, The fears, The anger, The stranger, The hate, The scientists. Back again with prodding sticks. They're in your mind, And there, they're rooted. You once grew love like a tree, But, your world's upside down. So all you have are the roots. No... wait, they're thorns. Like the roots...

Born in religious family You heard it right, like every good story Turned my back onto everything that I know To just understand the whole side of the story Every once in a while there was a backlash and a life Every once a while there was a genuine smile Every once a while I saw some one succeed I don't deserve it all, or I can't have it right Then came all kinds of addictions Habits like living in hell is the fiction Then came all the bugs around the sugar And the apple rot inside with a worm eating its tail Then I lost the loved ones and I let go of the friends I saw the torturers and I saw being tortured I saw the sinful act of acting like everything's ok Ok as you heard it right It's a miracle to be alive at this stage Then I found the god, the one and true only The existence that keeps me awake, the best almighty Taking baby steps but I am still walking Running is not a choice, blood circulation maybe stopping One side of my body is going lose and lose and lose Engineered to win at a lengthy process of living the abuse The devil on my back and the light in front I'm not running away, I'm taking it along Hey dear devil, can you hear the steps? I'm pushing you to heaven, I'm pushing us all away The funny thing is I never got scared Like a funny game of sadomasochistic shame The reason was easy, I trusted their eyes They are all good people, they are just doing their jobs I am just lost, in the never land I'm not Peter pan, I am just a man As you heard it right, I was born and raised In the middle east, under Islamic Reign I will not be lost, I will not be dead The story never ends if it shouldn't end Fully grown, with no hair and all beard I am now a man, lost in time and space Found by the god, on the corner of the house I shall forgive them all, and I shall be forgiven Let the story be on the good side of the hope For god is truly, bigger than you hope

Every morning after the reveille we hold a bicycle race from the camp to the Meuse At full speed I take the last turn, right into brand new barbed wire invisible in the light of the sun As proficient torturers two others are colliding with me immediately Flat tire, torn clothes In a comic strip, I would now be hanging horizontally But I fall, rips in my flesh gaping and bleeding Bandages at breakfast and then I lead my patrol again, what else after the mysterious providence of a farmer who's going to pasture on the river?
