Amouage is given
to the Pope, the King, the Queen
some we offer willingly others begrudgingly
the honorable can be challenged or challenging
the dishonored deemed unworthy,
placed upon a teetering putrid pedestal
Though at times impartial are the judges, not always
too partial implies and infuses distrust
unless we first seek to understand, make sense of it all
it’s the way of the

I Walk Midnight Arena All Alone

O' chalice of the world, mystical sphere
Treasures  born from ancient raided castles
What of palid crescent moons hanging low
And the broken arm of heart's rabid fear.
Of smoky Indian jade and silver lace
Our God the Painter, seeing deaf and blind
This savage earth is it truly our place.
Dare we peer through the

Dark Arts and Crafts Arena

The purpose of this exercise or test

Is to assess your own individual
limit's of excess 

And if you are 1 of the last standing
at the end

You are a shoe in for the job

After that there is a small case of
a swearing in welcoming ceremony 

Then your skills will be put to good use 

In the matter

Premium MemberArena of the Elderly

My last foray into this arena
Had me living memories, not wished to share
Here I go again, another visit
Into the elderly homes, we wish not

A sunny day, another gathering
Carers working, making things happen
Those in wheelchairs, still smiling
Others in mobile beds, unsure of the happening

A talk by an ancient, born 1917
Strong voice, begging to be heard
Wartime memories,

The Spartans

Ancient tales slashed our vineyard, 
We were the bloodshed of love...
Cupid fleshed our hearts. 

Austere eyesights.
Fierce catch upon your mark,
Am your prey in the love arena... 

I escort this frugal lover.
His achillean personality enchants every man,
I am the residue of my manhood... 

Close the cishet doors,
Let the cue tip-off,
You will be my man besides the

Premium MemberIn the Arena of Vice

In the arena of vice, the man of virtue fell

Was an intrepid gladiator with God's sword in hand

Ready to die was for all of the evil to expel

Gallantly kept fighting till iniquity left the land!

THE POLITICAL ARENA

One politician is old and senile
Another is a reputed pedophile
The media tries to make President Trump
Look like a foolish uncaring chump

Hoodlums run rampant wherever they please
And touted as heroes instead of sleaze
Some would have America believe
These gangsters should be given reprieve

The greatest nation on earth is in turmoil
With these acts committed on American

The Show Goes On Manchester Arena

Just got back from Manchester Arena 
Went to go and see Depeche Mode live in Concert
In what was only a few months back
A suicide bombers graveyard 
A crime scene for taken departed teens
But tonight the only screams
Were of unbridled joy 
I only pray the dead can hear
That they still live in here
And feed off the

Give Us the Answer

If your even vaguely religious and
 think God is the creator.
 Kneel, clasp your hands together and pray
 because I need the answer,
 why the hell is there Cancer?
 It has no regard for age,colour or creed.
 What is the thinking behind this indiscriminate disease?
 If you get a response please tell me please.

At the Philippine Arena

R-ising sun twenty-fourth January
O-pens the day with light; 
S-hadows have disappeared, 
E-arly morn sets things aright.

C-oal clouds and haze
A-re both nowhere in view; 
M-ist and fog fade away, 
B-lack sky becomes blue.
O-pen your life to beacon, 
N-ever hide your aura; 
G-o and start watching
G-ames at the Philippine
A-rena.

Star Firmly Shines To Go On At the Old Space Arena

N-ew star firmly shines to go
O-n at the old space arena; 
V-iew in the firmament
A-mazes the eyes in euphoria.

M-illion mirth and rapture
A-re brought by the star; 
G-lint gives excitement, 
T-wenty-third September.
I-n the middle of the night, 
B-eaming moon shares the ray; 
A-live and awake are the gazers, 
Y-awning mouths fade away.

G-leam firmly shines to go

In That Arena

In that arena couples fight
Against infidelity, dishonesty…….
Many have fought but lost
Yet many still join the spot 
But when love wanes
They totter to demise 
As their opponents smell victory

Premium MemberArena of the Brave

Characterized by the early settlement
of the San Bushmen of the Kalahari.
Its patriotic sentiments of profound bravery
echos the nation’s long struggle for independence
well articulated and expressed in the psalm of Axali Doeseb.

This second to the least overpopulated territory
is home to the continent’s tallest elephants
and the endangered black rhino.
It houses the world’s oldest desert
with a display of

Como Un Granito De Arena

Como un granito de arena ' que se derrite
Con los rayos del " Sol" que calentando estan
Se derrite mi corazon , hecho de hielo,
y por el mundo entero,como lluvia caeran .
Una lagrima que brota de mis ojos ,
Por el otro lado del mundo, la veras caer,
Porque tu me heriste en cuerpo y alma'
Mas sin perder
