Mara- Collateral damage

Hi, my name is Mara, I'm six years old, I have brown hair and brown eyes. People say I'm pretty like my mom, but, I don't know how that matters now.

My mom said she named me Mara because it means bitterness, my being...

There no use in trying to mend these broken and shattered pieces.
Its done for. Your saying that I'm great, that I'm strong. That I'll find someone else. 
It's cut a deep void in my life. And left me completely sleepless.
Only vulgarity comes to mind, I...

Cajole me in the right frame of mind
For I'm vexed not because of
Personal issues but because of the
Morbid, abstract canvas of life
I'm subjected to witness, where 
Groups of so-called righteous men
Drop indiscriminate bombs
On fellow humans ripping
Homes and families apart
Shedding the blood of the innocent
Then simply...

My daughter was raped.
He penetrated my heart.
We're both dead inside....

If the Result is Insult:
Rethink that course of thought!
For what can lead to the Heart's revolt
Is not the path I sought...
Wayward walking; trouble stalking
(When one lets loose their tongue!)
I can accept the poets' balking-
At least, when I cease to run,
And stop to take ownership
Of all...

Green spores, thunderbolts
Rolling spheres taking over
Possibilities…...

Against blue canvas 
Of summer skies, the ball soared.
Laughter mixed with dust.
Silenced by the screaming shell.
They buried you in blankets...

Abuse, misuse, and mistreat the object of your affection.
In the name of a game – hearts bound in another direction.
Not seen or keen to a face, instead this article to discard. 
Senseless pain to gain, leaving our hearts forever scarred.	

Heed naught, to being caught, watching...

IT'S REALLY BRAIN DAMAGE
So here you come, our back's against THE WALL,
and UMMAGUMMA,  you're the worst we've seen,
you'll  MEDDLE in our lives, that says it all,
but please BE CAREFUL WITH THAT AX EUGENE.

I'd ride my BIKE, but there is too much rain,
if you...

I tell you that love happened first,
In order
In that order— which is to be opened,
Flayed the heart that at first flinched 
When the soul would blench at the sound of your voice 
That once was love, turned destroyer,
You ask me if it was the chicken...

Gory maimed, mangled
Red misty air, children cry
Blindfold and blinkers....

Sinking into a True Despair
 
It’s like trying to shoot a monstrous ghost that you can’t ever see,
and, at the same time, this applies when one wants to kill a rumor,
and where everything is just like water running off a duck’s back,
and when you can’t...

A BAND OF ANGELS

I already knew that love comes with stuff
But I didn’t know that stuff comes with love
Until a fire destroyed all of our things.
And I looked to heaven above

I cried out “Lord, thank you God!
For saving me, my family and friends.”
No one was...

From near one pole to the other, from South to North,
Billions of tons of ice melt every year, climate change
It’s become one of the major problems on this planet thenceforth.

Planet Earth has suffered many disasters, henceforth
As oceans swirl and cause worldwide havoc, a total range,...

He sits in a room which is spacious and quiet. He stares at the wall, contemplating his diet.
He thinks way back to ten years prior, at the weight he once was, now he’s three weights higher.
It all seemed so easy, to eat properly and train.
