Tonight you'll rise
from the ashes of a story
no one claims
Strike a light, toss the match,
face awash, watch it catch
There's glory in the flames!
The trust you've earned blackened and charred,
just turn and cross back through the yard
and let fire burn to dust what remains...

Unable to fear threats from
any man who actually sent
my ex husband to torch
a tailor shop killing a mass
number of elderly people
sleeping in bed Christmas Day
on oxygen machines as mushroom
clouds flooded the building do
you see special agent Alan king
asked me before hiring me to
wear wires on my unborn children
while city officials helped to cover
up mass murder I witnessed the
plotting of Ciro gargano and I
played in the silk garments in
the shop where he stored the
contents of the tailor shop sadly
corruption threatened my life to
silence me an yet I will never
ever fear murderers with badges
assisting Ciro gargano ongoing
mass murder spree a serial killer
extorting medical care for diapers
and bedding for retired hitmen
Stop intimidation arson murder
of 9 elderly people the coldest
day 1984 I will never forget

Arsonists almost eighty, are
under arrest.' What to expect?
Zealots for climate cause?
Causing death; life attests!
Devestating action to cause
Draconian reactions? How
Much is reported? And what
Treatment(have they courted?)
Who will defend them? What
Will authoritys hand them?
A soft time of counceling? A
Time at Davos? Maybe a
A cancelling? I think that is
Far better, i'm not much on it
Per se' yet here it could have
A way' coupled with exposure
A way if healing, also closure?
Could 2023 hold some hope?
For reason and clarity not just
Force fed inhumanity' led by
Zero carbon insanity '
An affectatious arsonist announced,
“Big buildings’ burning brilliance brightens best!”
casually cites conflagration counts,
darkly deals destruction, designer-dressed.
Extinguishing each edifice enflamed,
first-rate forensic findings frequent failed.
Grievous, grim goings, ‘geniously gamed;
Hurried happenings, hastily high-tailed.
Incendiary incidents ignite
jewel-filled junkets, jazzed jalopy jaunts.
Kindling’s kittling kiss: knave’s known kryptonite,
Lapping, leaping licks, luscious, lit lavants.
Madness! Marauding mercilessly more,
Nefarious, nursing next novel noir.
—————
kittle - birth, excitement
lavant - old English, stream
they slipped with the lobotomy
red-hot poker in the eye
electrocution grilled her mind
bonfire of insanity
a straight jacket squeezed the last drop of lucidity
but she would not see the light of the day
leeches drank happily in search of blood
swollen and fed up they spilled their prey on her skin
her sugar addiction succumbed to insulin coma
almost ate up the last crumb of resolve
the final straw came when they exorcised her
and satanic verses stirred devilish crosses
to the tune of hymns psalms and insurrection
of flesh body soul and lost Self
she borrowed a lighter and burnt a candle
immolated demons and ghosts of the past
saw luminescence and freedom
set arson to hellish oppression
burnt down the asylum
and decided to be her own crazy warden

Parson Whose Sermon Cotained Arson
Should have heard sermon from the parson;
Would be hot and set you on fire like arson;
Could make you laugh as if Johnny Carson.
Jim Horn
I’ve been driving around all night.
Setting fires in people’s front lawns.
Tiny notes clumsily scrawled with an old ink
pen I found in my glove compartment.
The wind will likely blow most of them away.
They’ll never be read.
But maybe.
Maybe someone will feel the warmth
of my arson.
Maybe when you check your mail.
You’ll find my torn out fire.
And know that someone.
Even though they never saw you-
Wants to make sure you stop.
Just for a moment.
Feel the morning Sun’s rise.
And appreciate the magic
of spreading a flame
like the one boiling so far above us all.
And how beautiful it can be
that we’re here, in this moment.
No matter how far I’ve driven away;
We’re feeling it. Together.
-James Kelley
The fire raged, no place to dwell, a busy street, a place of hell..
What loss of life we do not know, no place to live, no place to go..
What place be next, where people die, the block is spent, the price is high..
Dope addicts, drugs, degenerates all, some day be gone, forever fall..
Not honor bound, no care, no trust, to try destroy, this what they must..
Ruination lives at Avenue Park, the lights are out, the street is dark..
Scavengers now do meet the scene, no thought of love, death in between..
What is the price, what is the toll, what charges them, for them what goal..
Wonder we the reason why, the bad shall live, the good shall die..
So try we must, we'll reach the goal..
We'll conquer sin, thus save the soul..
Arson in the churches,
Who set up that service?
Bombs for God?
Wicked and odd!
Faith shall survive,
As we are alive,
Fire within,
Never growing dim.
God does not deserve,
Arson in the church.
"ARSON TO ASH"
By J.R. Thornton
Dealers of deceit
Lead lives of tragic defeat
Bloody knives stick out from concrete
Fooled into trust, tricked to believe
Her weapon is lust. The intent to decieve
Bilegerant drunk. Obnoxious skeeze
Violent and dramatic. King Timothy to please.
A man with connections burning bridges.
Now cannot see the forest from the trees
Or regain pride while on his knees
Leading the pity parade.
While those who loved, now judge and grieve
~END~
(inspired by my best friend and Girlfriend) (don't take offense, still love you guys)
