Predetermined prostitution
Selling out to make it big
Gendered, soulless horrification
Getting greedy to feed the pig
Horrifying landscape changes
Maintenance of status quo
Antagonistic soul estranges
Burning embers afterglow
Disregarded foolish notions
Swept along by blood and greed
Fanciful and dark devotions
Haunt me now until I'm freed
Set my soul for resurrection
Save me from these dire straits
Bounded by a predilection
Tumultuation this creates
Take me now into the darkness
Hold me down until I scream
Fascination with the harkness
Close my eyes until I dream
Disregarded foolish notions
Swept along by blood and greed
Fanciful and dark devotions
Haunt me now until I'm freed
Take me now from this indulgence
Take me to the doors of death
Feed me to the sweet effulgence
As I take my final breath

Prince of Arctic and Queen of Antarctica
The prince of the north region and the queen of the south region
They have had enemies for ages and ages, and now, oh always
This hatred is antagonistic, a killer mental war. Who is the power?
Who is the owner of the ice worlds? There is only one. But who is it?
There are two ice worlds. But these two are one. North, south. One
And there are two rulers. Prince of Arctic and Queen of Antarctica. Oh hell!
They can’t meet, because there are the temperate, Mediterranean, and
tropical zones
So the hate is eternal. But this is a long story, penguins said it to me
Hate, and love together. Prince of Arctic the Peace of Love, real cold style
Queen of Antarctica the power of the war. A story on. It will be written.
Man peace
The fate is war
Love comes
End of the war
Man and woman
Together the one
One is two,
but the one.

Many white Americans still struggle with the issue of racism in the 21st century.This started with the Confederate monuments. The Confederate monuments do not have the same meaning to black Americans. While white americans view these works as a part of history, a past that cannot be covered over or changed ; the symbols of confederate officers being celebrated as heroes in public places to black americans will always symbolize a stain on America's very ideals. It was these people who fought to keep black Americans in enslavement and without any hope of being considered as equals to the white race. It was a wise move for cities to remove these statues and public monuments as it did not speak well for the image of America to continue to honor people who fought to deny people their basic rights and freedoms.
Those white Americans who were opposed to the removal of confederate monuments and statues, showed that they were insensitive to the black community and even antagonistic toward it. It showed that they did not understand black americans and how they felt. It was a
sign of how out of touch white Americans were with the black community.

Questions I often questioned myself, It's not a lack of one's faith
yet it's the concerns and matters demonstrated by accounts from
people. Questions
I often interrogate myself about who, what, when, where, why, and how.
Uncertainties, hesitations, battles how I was dealt the hands of these
cards. Questions
No, I'm not standoffish, hostile, or even antagonistic I'm safeguarding
and waterproofing my mental state of mind from people, places and
situations. Questions
Alternatives, routes are taken to turn back from dark alleys, friendly
faces lurking to bring naught to dim one's light. Questions
Acceptance of oneself character healing on a daily journey in nature
of self importance attentively. Questions

When you witness that
Humans have turned against each other
Rebel against one's own self
Antagonistic to all living things.
Large quantities of firearms and ammunition on hand
Missiles of the highest caliber
That's enough to wipe out Earth several times over
Forget about global peace any time soon.

the end I warn you:
catharsis of bad things
that converging in blocks
form an antagonistic empire
your face will show everything
sad frown
but even that won't keep away
the phalanx spears
pointing victorious
for the ride of the hours
unbalancing fate
and paving the path of indifference
of what will survive

Participation
I like to observe people, and the way they talk and act.
My dog observing me, knows when she has done
something wrong I’m angry, she also knows
my anger I mixed with love.
As a talented dog, she reads other people's minds also
baring her teeth if she thinks they are antagonistic.
I was a member of a Scandinavian group my dog
didn’t like them, so I quit.
I’m not a real poet if I sound like one it is entirely
by accident; however, I have written a few books
of vignettes, they serve the distinctions of not being read.
I never bother about this side; what is written stands
like a beacon that tells me I also participated.

Unity in Origin Variety in Expression
Under the sky I live
Over the grass I walk
Free air I breathe
Natural water I drink
Nature in me I am in Nature.
At death I get mixed with earth or burnt in fire
Transformed into other elements, get rebirth;
I live perpetually in Nature
Nature in me I am in Nature
I have no existence without it
In natural state it is in equilibrium
Without shortage or surfeit
Nature is Divine
Anything antagonistic to it is anti-divine
I cannot coexist with such entity
I am one with Nature, with it in unity.
One is the unity
Origin of beings and things
The Infinity, the Eternity;
“Ekam Sat Vipra Bahudha Vadanti.”
Variety is the key to earthly life
There cannot be one word
Many are the words
It is the way of life;
True language is as many
As human hearts in happiness or agony
Variety is the vibration of Natural life
Monotony is the begetter of perpetual strife.

Antagonistic apes alluded to awful alligators allowing allegiance anew.
Bamboozled baboons believed beyond borders bibbity bobbity boo.
Chummy chimpanzees cheekily chattering central Chattanooga chew.
Deliberate orangutan dancing during delectable delirious dreamtime dew.

War
In a kingdom full of combatants I heard a naval, military struggling
Combat
I am non violent And I am recovering
Death shall bring troops
'War!' said I, 'thing of jihad.'
Do they believe in God
Quite odd
And those eyes have all the warmongering
Wars
Great war - great war - great war!
Only this and a nuclear winter
Snowing atomic gluserian
That antiwar, antiwar campaign
War
I remember I was feuding
And the clans never advocating
I crave the antagonistic, calorific awareness
awareness calorific, the antagonistic I crave
War
Eagerly I looked for the disaster
War
It was castor, alabaster, vaster!
Not
I crave the warlike, war-torn warship
My conflict, I could not awaken hatred bliss
Do not enlist
Still is planing, still is planing
In there stepped a medievalist 'red army faction'
God makes love, man makes
War

~ A Monorhymed Fantasy ~
A virgin maid of twenty-nine
angelic face, most benign
Sought the life of the front lines
her upbringing undermined...
Two devilish, slack-jawed canines
leaped at the cowering feline
Antagonistic, their bloodlines
simmering in rancid brine...
Camouflaged prone, not supine
a-slither and a-serpentine
Amidst the poison ivy vine
fangs redolent of red strychnine...
Her pipedreams of bootleg moonshine
no street-grade heroin to mainline
Cannabis the new gold to find
cheaper than a sapphire mine
Armed with wings of cypress wine
embarked for distant shorelines
As she touched the finish line ~
vanished was the Temple Shrine

As a blessed fruit of my parents’ love-nurture
I bloomed in their caring pasture
Nestled within kindness-venture
Buttressed upon security posture
Around grace and truth-gesture
Fortifying me against apathy’s culture
Of skeptical and antagonistic feature.
Reared up in my parents’ love-enclosure
I bear their legacy with blissful pleasure
In my wondrous orphanage-exposure
While enjoying ministerial pressure
Building lives, each as heavenly treasure
Anchored by love’s wondrous measure
With God’s compassion and grace to assure.
In my heart prevails my parents’ love*, indeed pure
With the Lord’s affection, it does endure
Vanquishing hatred and bitterness’ torture
Defying carnality’s lust of vanity-lure…
To share such love is my mission, verily sure
Fulfilling my part in helping others along comforting-cure
Seized by DAD and MOM’s love-powered procedure.
*Hosea 3:1 Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love … according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel…

Assaulting me! The darkness comes to be
in devil’s guise. Phantom haunts my mind;
in sleep paralysis I cannot flee -
insanity bleeding through ruined rind.
I’m humbled now and at your merciless
whims and words afflicting by your whipping
cruelty I’d endured and what of this -
stranglehold of fear that is so gripping.
The trauma it inflicts does overwhelm
in present as it did in madness past,
as Hypnos slips me blackened nightmare’s realm
my sanity becomes a lone outcast.
Stalking specter and there’s no protections,
I’m the victim with my mind in confines,
house of mirrors broken your reflections;
antagonistic mania still shines.
My life with you; you’re still inside my head,
though self-destruction chose as your fare-well.
Subconsciously you infiltrate with dread
as incubus revenge becomes my Hell.
