Premium Member Defending Democracy

Oh Democracy, 
You, most desirable bride among political systems,
Your suitors have been many throughout history,  
In every part of the world, you were the one
They were after

But

You have declined their proposals, despite the fact
All of your suitors were so charming. 
With great honors tried to win you over by 
Putting your name next to...

Premium Member The Prey Attacks Defending

Like the bombardier beetle
with an advanced weapons system attached 
It can expel an intense hot, pulsating jet of words
the fluid it blinds the frog before he can croak
aiming its turret in any direction with accuracy
After the ejection of each explosion
that of the boiling pressurised fluid
we can see the bug in politics talks hot air from...

Premium Member Defending My Virtue

Who knew that I would need
shoestrings to escape rape?
I felt safe on a double date, 
the “safety in numbers” misnomer.

He came on like a ten-armed
octopus with suction cup hands.
The couple in the back seat
were obviously in full accord,
based on sounds my ears
were recording.

Out-manned in size and strength,
I searched for a weapon. 
I found it in...

Defending Via Careful Spending

Spending money without limit
Is indeed a dangerous habit
If we lose money bit by bit
One day we will be badly hit

We must very carefully spend
As, money, none will to us lend
We must be frugal at every bend
Or else, our prosperity will end

We must prepare a clear chart
And use money by being smart
Then in money, we won't...

Prayer

Prayers

Lost and found in the battle of survival
Observing the darkness that surrounded the arrival

Of the lights

Denying the truth or not being perplexed by the presence
Being plagued by liars and slayers

If to live is up to oneself
Killing the other one, what is this profess?

Defending the mind from the thought of evil
Prayers, Meditation, and trying to prevail...

Defending Soldiers of the Tenderest Age

Throughout the world's history,
we read compelling stories
of the defending soldiers of the tenderest age;
and we can be moved to tears
by the purity of their courage:
they died on the battlefield,
never breaking their promise
or fall short of integrity... 


Defending soldiers of the tenderest age as handsome
as the daffodils of the undulating fields,
nothing scares you when it comes
to...

Premium Member Defending Democratic Doglives

Dear Thom the Train
Attorney Page,

Defender of all Creatures
here below
in these DisUniting States
of throwback uncivil disunion,

What is your root foundation
for a constitutional argument
that all living residents
of these remaining United Democratic States
have a right
to restoring healthy justice,
to resiliently retaining healthy life?

Is this sacred democratic Source
inter-related with values
like well-being
prosperity
liberty
public health optimization,
declarations of defensive rights
for all Creation
to freely seek...

Hell On a Soldier Defending Home

Off the plane, from landing,
upon a country, not yet, set free.
Realizing a year, out of, one's life,
is being used, to change, their history.

Allowed, only so much, to bring,
with the comforts, of home, being none.
Told the time, of one's self, is distribute,
by how much, of the mission, is done.

Dealing, with a certain, mind set,
of being, trap...

Defending Green Snake

It wasn’t a green snake
That tried God’s enterprise to foil
Nor one of greenish make
That had man pushed into piteous toil.

 The sun-loving green wouldn’t anything spoil,
As often it’s thinking of how to funnily coil,
This presuming to playfully act out on your very soil
While your odd animosities you oil
And not once, not twice, unnecessarily boil....

Trump Supporters Him Are Defending

Trump has supporters who him are defending;
What they have been doing is really pretending,
And a total misfit,
Who should quit,
So his awkward presidency soon will be ending.
