Premium Member Defend Your Day

Some days we rise and others we fall
Some days we run and some we crawl
Sunshine will fade with cover of night
It shall return and show its light

Be sure to face each day anew
Yesterday is gone and today accrues
Face each struggle with grace and tact
Don't burn that bridge, in case you come back

Today is not lost, tomorrow still waits
There is still more time to unseal your fate
Look where you are and where you have been
Life is a challenge to face with a grin

Take each day and remember who waits
I will hold your hand as we open each gate
We are here as a pair, as one to stay
Keep looking ahead, and defend your day

Defend As Men

With armor pierced, I’m battle scarred
For enemies swords had struck their mark
Though weary, I, I raised my sword
To continue fighting in the dark

The battle started hours before
Fighting strong, with me, heroic men
Yet, common men with noble hearts
For mother land, they now defend

No formal training, nor fighting skills
But, armed with will and make shift swords
These men of honor fought for right
For losing homes, they can’t afford

I, their leader, their chosen one
Selected for strength and outward pride
Am honored to fight aside these men
Else, not fighting at all, I shall have died

Our homes and family are what we are
The marks of us men are lineage and land
We go into battle, each as a boy
To come from the battle, each as a man

Defend His Honor, Defend His Pride

Defend his honor, defend his pride
Even though his words are just lies

Defend his honor, defend his pride
He's your love, fight his fights

Defend his honor, defend his pride
Be that woman that's always by his side

Defend his honor, defend his pride
Defend him in all that he has to hide

Defend his honor, defend his pride
Even when the cops come after his crimes

Defend his honor, defend his pride
Defend his honor, defend it right

Boys turned into men 
Acting chivalry needing to defend 
Thackray who never was 
Due to the wasp woman wanting buzz 
Gunners waited for Watford to arrive 
“Foul!” they did claim in a cry 
On target goal after the penalty try 
Followed by one then another
Sunday’s mother 
Agree those went in 
Later on Arsenal committed an innocent sin 
Deeny connected 
Shot was not protected 
Three one at the break 
Story brewing about the yellow jacket relegation wake 
Being well back 
Singing stingers put together an attack 
Calling upon Danny to give a whack 
A nice song he did bellow 
Not enough to save the hives, dear fellow 
For the longest time 
In her own mind 
Mrs. Harris 
Just home from Paris 
Thackray did not cause any trouble
There was no reason to blow any bubbles 
As time ticked away 
Grealish earned his claret blue army pay 
Slicking it through the post 
Mrs. Harris a few seconds later returned the gesture with a kind toast 
A draw 
Was the call 
And Aston’s Villa would not be sold 
Since they did not fold 
“Send down the Honey Cherry Buzz flavor” 
Second tier league requested as a favor 
Mr. Bourne with toffee candy in the mouth 
His cherries ready to head south 
But today he enjoyed a sweet victory taste 
Wasn’t showing ill feelings or haste 
Instead filled with Goodison’s grace 
Citizens on the other hand made the canaries look like nothing 
Man City netting five which was something 
Four sixes were on the executive level table 
Two were issued to pensioners writing a Chelsea fable 
While the Red Devils had a pair 
Enough to scare 
That pesky fox 
Now having respectable stock 
“Worry about a single commitment next year 
And enjoy that cheer” 
Was the message 
About priority addressing 
As for Thackray, the west ham 
Romantically united Mrs. Harris succeeded in her plan 
Next time a gale force winds come through 
Infecting play asking ‘what are you gonna do?” 
Do not put the season in the hearses 
Just be sporty write creative poetic rhyming verses 

The End

Defend Yourself Women

Being a woman has its challenges at times,
We're always working hard to only get a couple dimes.
But “man's” comments make me thrive,
Especially the ones about the way we drive.
But put yourself in our shoes and see with what we're dealing,
Then try to say women have too many feelings!
I hear we're suppose to stay in the kitchen to cook and clean,
That's funny! You clean up your mess and make it gleam!
I'm not going to be pushed around! I'm in charge of my life!
If you don't like it-then go find yourself a different wife!
Yes, there is equal rights and opportunities for women and men,
But one day women will be the rulers and men will obey us until the end!

Defend Thy Bonus

Defend Thy Bonus!
(For Boris and Those City Boys of London)

“They’ll leave! They’ll leave!” 
He cried, with a look of sheer panic 
In those innocent blue eyes
“And ‘The City’ will be poorer without them....!” (he lied).

“Let them go!  Let them go!” I cried 
In fact let me help them pack
So I can be sure they won’t come back 
After, of course, they have all got the sack

Alright the GDP might wheeze 
Cough, splutter and sneeze,
But I for one won’t greave,
Oh how I do wish they would leave.

Premium Member Ruskie the Raccoon-Home Invasion

Ruskie the racoon 

Saw the moon  

Started to cry  

Knowing the critter had to try   

Defending some one's lie  

From stars it did shine  

Onto the untankful line  

A planet in the night  

Trying to be bright  

Giving off enough light  

Wearing a bandit mask  

Ruskie was giving a violent task  

Invading a home  

To see if anyone was alone  

Opening the door  

Ruskie crept on the floor  

Ready to declare it clear  

Nothing to fear  

Until a small image did appear  

Coming up from Ruskie’s rear  

Holding a silver firearm  

Used on the cattle back at the barn  

With survival in the eye   

A child had the decision 'if Ruskie was going to die?'  

There was a pleaded request  

Before sending Ruskie to a place to rest  

“Ruskie please stop  

Or I will pull this trigger making a sound that will go pop pop 

And if this does happen  

In your pants you will do some crappin”

Stupidity Defend Yourself

Stupidity defend yourself
I've come to take you out
Don't treat it like it's just a date
for I am feared as shout

I'll say to you you haven't learned
and tell you of my beef
And you will have to listen good
or so I want to think

Then you will say you saw a squirrel
and I will say where?
And Trudeau will be Prime Mister
and I will still not care

So I will go on taunting you
wherever you may go
And say you're all I think of you
and not to bare me so

Fight and Defend

The devil's corrupt cohorts
Roam like an angry lion; 
They've wormed their way into the flock, 
Creating carnal division and dissension.

They think they have the license
Or freedom to live as they please; 
Look out! They threaten to upset our faith, 
For us not to attain lasting peace.

The ungodly men sow and strike terror, 
Twisting the authentic gospel; 
They replace the pure words of God
With wisdom and principles of evil.

Stay away from them who use
Smooth and persuasive talk; 
They speak of fine and fancy words
To deceive the naive the way they walk.

The flatterers' aim is the enemy's work
To change the teaching we receive; 
Those innocent who are fooled
Fall victims for they don't believe.

The warriors of the Lord though
Are always alert and on guard; 
Ready to face the spiritual terrorists, 
They do their job well, working hard.

Bravely must we fight for the faith, 
For us not to end up destroyed; 
Respect and keep the covenant, 
Contempt for the teaching we must avoid.

Remember all the commandments, 
Listen, receive, love and obey; 
Imprint them in our heart and mind
To be firm and steadfast as we pray.

Our goal is not only to fight for the faith
But also defend it against the enemy; 
With God Almighty on our side, 
We will raise our hands in victory.

Fight and defeat our faith's foe, 
As we wait for the world's nearing end; 
To emerge winner and gain eternal life, 
Our faith we must hold and defend.

Memory To Defend

Carefully placed
Thought before action
Action before regret
Regret before memory
Memory all that remains

Of pain etched on face
As strokes were made
Forehead creased
And wispy breaths
Through Grimaced 
Grinding teeth

Knuckles white
Clutching tight
Muscles all tensed
As reflection
In blue eyes 
turn to Crimson 
To red

How does it seem
So far away now
Only in still gush of water
Thoughts are found

Face buried deep beneath 
Murky depths
Only bubbles 
of feather weighted air
Evolve from tightly strung lips
That hide secrets of thoughts unmasked
Yet they fear

They fear the story 
The story they swore
They never would
Let slip past  again

Little girl
Clutching slippery knees
Trying to hide
What she dares not Admit 
has been committed
A deed so foul
Evidence emits
Making seen bet lost
With the devil with his demons
With regret

Water-matted hair 
Strings past 
Red raw eyes
From tears silently
Burning through
The absent gaze

Thoughts of demons
Re-emit
"What have you done now?"
Menace in the raspy voices
In which they speak
"I see again old skills
Have been perfected"
Her body shivers in fear
How did she let them 
Again so near
"Twitchy twitchy little girl
How did you manage to again unfold
We watched
We waited
Our time is come
Revenge on you oh little one"

Suddenly writhing
In apparent frustration
Of demons drawn near
She screams under her breath
Scared to be revealed
Scared of death

She stops
All becomes still
Is this the end
Have they collected their kill?

Calm before the storm
Or moment of silence
After it has passed

Muscles start to tighten
Head slowly lifts up
Hair slithers into
Framing of face

She faces directly forward
Eyes glistening
With what will scare

Truthful Anger
Demented trust
Disillusioned bloodlust
Of life a lost

Her eyes glisten
But where
Will the vengeance 
Finally start
To end
Where demons
left their mark
A painful red 
Memory to defend

Free Cee Neither To Defend Nor Mend

NEITHER TO DEFEND NOR MEND

Perhaps the lady is trying to say it mattered not how it all came to an end
Her with no defenses and me with actions I cared not to defend
Maybe the woman is attempting to explain her appreciation for the time we two shared
She who always envied me and me who never really cared

She keeps speaking of a past she cherishes even though it’s gone
And my how the lady does go on and on
She persists in bringing up what I always knew was a lie
And that which finally brought the lady so to cry

And oh how I remember those tears accompanied by moans and her purred pleas
She of heat when held then beheld me from afar and a freeze
Those moans of misery meant little to a man who had found someone new
Because that’s what heartless human beings and lascivious lovers sadly do

Lately I look back on that lady who my haughtiness and heartlessness hurt so
Because I didn’t really care about that which I now know
I now know that sometimes there are actions one can never go back to mend
And that perhaps, after all, I had quite a few decisions to defend

This We'Ll Defend

Your not sure how you got to this point
You said it was pride
took the pen into your hand
signed that dotted line
Before your on your own two feet and stand
they say they can make you a man
In war the score is yours, was that the plan?
Keep your head up son, I'm sure you can
 
They say that freedom ain't free
Is that why every year I see
The young and the dreamy
impassioned by drill Sergeants screaming
This is life boy, give your life boy
just so arrogant people play life like a toy
ready to be deployed so someone else can enjoy?

 

This is not me, but written in blood for family
Never thought it would hit home directly
But you never know what you hold or what you got
until the trigger is pulled, guns shot
When the smoke clears
Best hope you reside
Hold your own, no fear
This is just stop one on a very large ride
 
Returning home and everything stayed the same
funny how one experience in life
everything in your eyes feels changed
but that's the knife or rather ripple
in reality and the dream we are instilled
while your smiling at home
someone's protecting you under their own will
