ON AIDING AND ABETTING WAR
(A Perceived 5-7-5 Perspective)

Children begged for food,
They gave them bullets of death:
Starvation aided:-

Murdering children,
Is sanctioned in times of war:
Even by parents!?

Being quiet is
Aiding and abetting war:
Let’s get to screaming!

To God Be the Glory

This candle burns slowly —and with the severity of courage
We pick our way with utter caution down the bombarded stairway
One thing is certain: we must flee from this scoffing pillage.
Aided by fluttering tallow, our vision is haunted by the airway.

Premium Membershe felt like his prey

she felt like his prey
personality deceased
no longer herself

trying to please him
angry sullen little man
enjoying her pain

she felt constricted
attempting to make him glad
her soul was dying

did she realize
she aided in her abuse
sadly I think not

To my sleep that has slipped away

Time was not far we would get into bed,
Put head on to pillow and fall asleep
Under the grace and by Morpheus aided,
Unto another world in one smooth leap
Embraced by Hypnos, in a state higher.
Why O sleep, hast thou slipped away from life, 
In bed, eyes shut, my mind when fights false fire— 
In digital orchestra gone too rife,
And too stimulated, under-rested,
Mind in buzz long after the curtain falls,
Not wind down slowly, getting crash-landed,
Wake in doubt, nap in guilt the day as calls.
     O carry no loads in mind, night might say,
     In heeding not, dear price we seem to pay.

Premium MemberThe Story of My Life

My life’s story is a lonely tale only my faith enabled strung. 
I moved too much to belong anywhere or keep a friendship knit.
The hurts as an army brat continued when grown to render me stung.
Just core family love constantly soothed my tears and aided my grit.
Lonely hits always made me wonder why He sent me for this visit.

ABEL-CAN ANIMALS SUBSTITUTE HUMAN LOVE?

Well, there is someone for me now-
I thought as I bought him home from the pet-shop,
My boy had left me last week,
Now I have him to kiss my cheek
Ah! What a company!

I took him in my lap,
And showed him my house's little map,
Which I had made for the rose now faded,
Which was seen by the Fresh Rose whose company greatly to me aided.

I named him Abel,
By hugging whom I could now sleep-well,
I forgot all about my past,
For he loved me truly- Without looking for beauty, creed or caste.

Yet one day when he was hungry,
He bit my newly-purchased skirt's hem-being now violent and angry,
When I pulled it back,
He tried to bite me as well- I was now taken aback!

Then did I sadly realize,
That Gold cannot be replaced just by painting your favorite object Yellow,
I then went to my room and closed the door,
For I realized my folly and did not expect from him favors anymore!

Things That Offend
Miracle Man
3/5 2025

At eight o’clock sharp our telephone starts ringing,
Medicare telemarketers can drive us nuts.
Seven calls daily keeps both of our hands wringing,
seeking information from some elderly klutz.

Then charitable letters from some we’ve aided,
are reaching out to us concerning our estate.
This causes some feelings of being degraded,
we’re only a name and number whose time grows late.

But these annoyances are just another life test,
that keeps both eyes and our thoughts focused on the cross.
It reminds us daily we’re here to do our best,
without letting these things become our albatross.

quiet, quieter and quieter yet still
mindfully watching each stirring that arises
aided by divine magnetism heightening its bliss hum
we remain in a time dissolved peace continuum 
grateful God has steadied the flame

Premium MemberBeyond space-time

Poised in quietude, we watch space flicker,
revealing a soft white light from beyond,
so ignoring egoic doubts that snicker,
we forge with this epiphany a bond.

It seems others do not see what we see,
unable to exit the womb of space 
but it appears that our soul’s been set free,
in time dissolved stillness by divine grace.

Aided by magnetism ushering bliss, 
softened attention our meditation,
heart enlivened by Divine Mother’s kiss,
clear light dawns in the void of cessation.

Bliss pheromones in heart gently mingle,
making in timeless time, soul’s eye single.

Premium MemberThe Waves of Everything Pretty

Air aided in gravel’s travel
Its ricocheting rhythm
Rhythming like the crunch
Of an ocean
The steps of someone
The left and right side 
Sway as incongruent tides
Whatever winds wind up
Within an earshot, it becomes
Tapped in our orbit
Wonders of the world all around
Wondering what it will be like
To be a cherished kind of sound

Remember

Recollect when you decided
for a choice was most surely made

To dismiss me from your
heart and mind

To destroy the plans 
Once layed

My own dependability
as sure as a well oiled clock

aided and abetted in this outrageousness
to my unalterable shock

You declared you know I must hate you
Your exact words as I recall

I don't care enough to muster that up
but I really don't like you at all


So what will you take
from our meeting

What lesson  sent
through me to you

Your well rehearsed steps shown
to have been here before

I know what I'm
taking from you.......Nothing

Premium MemberSetting the Record Straight

    Every single Arab death in Gaza   
      is attributable to HAMAS

    Aided and abetted by Iran 
      Russia, and Mahmoud Abbas

    First Hamas butchers, rapes, and kidnaps
       thousands of Jews and others

    Then its ‘brave warriors’ use as human shields
      their so-called ‘Palestinian brothers’

    When Israel dares fight back 
       ‘Ceasefire now!’ Hamas whines

    Demanding Israel release Palestinian murderers
       while it (Hamas) keeps its hostages under tight confines

    Today's 'potd' blames Israel for the genocide
       that HAMAS perpetrates on both Israeli and Arab sides

Premium MemberPrincess Ariadne had an Empathetic Heart

King Minos of Crete asked Daedalus,
the inventor, to create a labyrinth
beneath his palace. He housed Minotaur,
a fearsome monster in the labyrinth.
Minotaur had the head of a bull and body of a man.
Princess Ariadne aided
the Minotaur, in an escape;
she had an empathetic heart.

Love's Longing

The longing for beloved, like a moth longing for flame,
extinguishing it's own fire, admiring it's own pain,
with the bejeweled beauty of stars and moonlight     
I find you engulfed in the scent of my unforgiving plight. 

The damage your absence did has never been aided,
the scars I have been carrying have never faded.
Your body might be aligned with roses and dust
but I'm still holding onto the blade of proses and lust.
The deeper it cut, the better it turn me into pieces,
for a poor, vulnerable, tortured soul, only left in traces.

Since centuries, conspiracies against you have allied with dove,
agony, misery, calvary, woe, curse, they say, but I opt for love.

Premium MemberMiami Dade Police Aided Me

Miami Mall is rocking with aliens from star planets galore.
The worst thing is they are not buying anything from a store.
They are hypnotizing the salespeople and getting stuff free.
Items are leaving the mall faster than a grand prix shopping spree.

Someone who was watching what was happening averted his eyes.
He got on his phone and he dialed the Miami Dade policemen guys.
By the time they arrived the aliens had stolen billions of things.
Including several trays full of jewelry – emeralds and gold diamond rings.

The policemen came running in all confident, some in a huff.
They were hypnotized right away, and stopped acting so tough.
I decided to join the aliens and got myself a new blouse and chair.
Feeling pretty confident as I left with my loot, walking out into night air.
