Premium Member A Tribute To Leonora G
~ Yolanda was--her name ~    Featuring:) Leonora Galinta

From a hell storm,
A mighty she-devil took on its form
Like a woman scorn ascending from the sea
Haiyan whipped across the central Philippines,
A deadly typhoon, maximum winds of around 315 
Terrorizing the fragile mind before making...

How Thick Is Your Skin?
Written: by Tom Wright
3/31/2018

In today’s society it appears to be about skin,
Many whine when things don’t go their way.
Laying at fault, is that our skin is too thin,
We’re easily offended by what others do and say.

Whiners leap to the podium with...

I
I belong to no one else.
I am my own— hardly,
A blinking aggregate of macromolecules
Staring down from the edge of a black hole
That they tell me is eternity.

The preacher told me he would pray for me;
I don’t know what for.
I am everything I could ever need;
They...

Premium Member Beat Your Wife, Cause Is Right
Yes modernization is here
Islamic rules have made it clear
Pick up a small stick
And beat her to the wick

Make her understand
Obey your command
Pakistan is the modern land
Live like a man and beat at command

Only though because you care
To make her subservient and thus obey
She must follow...

Premium Member Love For Other Christians
Poem coming soon/In the planning stage...

It's easy for me to find fault in them
Why they are so different from us all
Very hard to love, it is somewhat grim
Just listen and hear their dissenting brawl 

The the Holy Spirit spoke from within
Love others deeply; love covers...

Flash Flood
a storm is brewing
dark hordes bristling to descend
dissenting thunder

coalescent scouts
in tentative teams essay
sun-parched earth awaits

sizzle of drizzle
pheremonal petrichor
harbingers of hope

cool breeze in the air
their work done, drops sponged, expunged
the deluge follows


Written 15 April 2016
First line changed from "storm clouds in council"  to meet contest...

Premium Member When
When
When Muslims and Jews, eschew all notions of dissenting difference, and embrace in
distinct integration.
When Christians and Buddhists fuse love of self with love of other and dispense with pride
and self effacement altogether!
When Feminist Theologians, cry the plight of black women, and Muslim Men detect the
mystified...

Ben's Tone
Big Ben chimes (resting) his 88th life-line
His oratory socialistically left explicitly refined 
Always rallying heads above the gut-venting whines
Dissenting oratory silenced it seems, but only by Mr Time
His Popeye pipe yet resonates, smoking symbolic his inclined
A Bentonite legacy, a Ben store for the waking walking...

Premium Member Past Present Future
With my years stretched out behind me
Some mud puddles still remain
There are bridges still standing proudly
Though a few have large rust stains

The quicksand of time has swallowed
Good times and bad times alike
But the road that I have followed
Is lit well by the seeds of life

I...

Political
Military Industrial Complex out to enslave the masses/
Save your asses from these genocidal, dangerous facists/
They’re releasing gaseous anthrax to take breath outta me/
Our Social Security Numbers are used for their death lottery/
The Bermuda Triangle is a training zone used to sink your ships/
Satellites equipped with...

Seven-O-Two
I like to listen to Seven O Two at night
We can always count on Kiemo for a fight
If he was President for a day
He would insist on his own way

We could all be taking drugs
And the teacher could flog the thugs
White women he would send...
