Twins Revenge

A. W. Nutter

Fog from my breath in the way
Temporarily impeding my vision
A small lamp, illuminates my prey
Unaware, of his impending execution

Rons wife, conveniently out of town
Visiting a sick relative, her perfect alibi
She must really despise this clown
I wonder if she kissed the fool goodbye

Staying in the shadows around the house
Dressed in black, invisible in the darkness
Entering their kitchen, quiet as a mouse
Through a window, left unlocked on purpose

From the first bedroom a child moans
Peering at the bed and the sleeping boy
The husband was supposed to be left alone
She'll pay dearly for this unexpected ploy

With the silencer in place I wake up Ron
He dresses quickly picking up his keys
Protesting will endanger his bastard son
He drives us deep into the forest of trees

Removing my mask he views his twin
Staring into the face of his supine form
Before he can protest I commit the sin
Then pray for God to help me reform

Burning the body along with the gun
Quickly driving home to start my new life
Showering, I slip into bed with my son
Real father and mother now husband and wife

Premium Member Anger- POTD

‘Anger is one letter short of danger.’
Excess of it, our life can endanger.
Anger when grown into aggression and violence,
Works in vicious ways and is a great malaise
It fosters hatred and ruptures many hearts,
Angry words can wound and pierce like darts. 

But Anger becomes a sublime emotion,
If we know how to handle it without explosion.
It becomes sometimes so constructive,
Quashing the fallacy that anger at all costs is disruptive.
Many a time it has proved so positive.
And sometimes it turns very productive.
When anger is turned against situations
And not against people aiming at their degradation.

It enables us to rectify the discrepancies,
Through our resentment to change the disparities.
It fuels us with the energy to voice against injustice.
Bringing solutions to the voiceless in their crisis.

But never let anger consume your heart and soul.
It sure will take a mighty toll.
When anger bubbles and boils, catch the cue.
Wait a minute before the fire devours you.

As humans, we are likely to lose our temper.
But remember, to it, never surrender! 
Holding a long-standing. grudge, 
Is like having an unerasable smudge.
It will always leave a stain,
And lead us to irrepressible pain. 

However, it is not advisable to suppress anger,
It can lead to irreparable danger.
But remember, when emotions of hatred are let loose,
There is hardly any chance for a truce.

A person under violent rage
Is like a prisoner in a cage.
Anger, more often is a negative emotion.
Landing us in violent commotion.
Anger against people steals all our energy,
But when it aims at solutions, it enhances synergy. 

When angry, forgetting all decorum, one may shout.
Don’t let your resentment thoughtlessly blurt out. 
Never let the tongue make a tempestuous tirade.
Tackle this tiny tab of tissue and tame its blade!

Written: May 05, 2024

                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 You crossed the gloss,
Under a star-spangled sky,
To greet me at dawn.
Foggy dreams awoke me,
my brain was amort,
I sense your whisper,
I immediately drew it.
While in the woods, birds sang,
leaving darkness behind,
the haze-modified hues, 
would dance with the sun. 

I'll acknowledge,
I am mesmerized by singing,
and my senses were enhanced. 
Yet, in extending them,
I may endanger your soul,
I created a human ghost,
It is unknown what will occur.
Love beckons you,
Although it seems pointless, 
I can't bear my dream,
While on the verge,
There is plenty to consider. 

Often ambiguous,
Vague atmosphere,
It almost feels as "déjà vu". 
Unreal is magnificent,
I can't break this magic spell,
It lurks near to life,
Some believe it is a vision,
Which detects every sign.
Realistic hyperbole, 
for heartfelt times.

Premium Member Overheard Conversation

Be careful 'bout the things you say.
Make certain how they sound;
For other people may not know,
And spread their thoughts around;

Expounding on your choice of words,
And how they saw your manner.
It's best to weigh your words, my friend,
Than pay the price of candor;

For oft when people hear some things,
They take them out of context,
And on repeating what they've heard,
They give it different syntax.

They'll weave a story from your words,
That you won't recognize,
And then just try and find someone,
To stand and sympathize;

A single friend who knows you well,
And won't believe such stories,
Is hard to find when times are hard,
And gossips compound worries;

So watch your words for they have power,
Or you'll end up in mourning,
To whom and where and what you said.
Remember well this warning.


"A FOOL GETS INTO CONSTANT FIGHTS. HIS MOUTH IS HIS UNDOING. HIS WORDS ENDANGER HIM."

Premium Member Don't Dare Ask

We had no hand in this rape of nature
Yet we will bear its full weight and measure
Can climate be sentenced to certain doom
Is there time to resolve its gruesome gloom

Don't dare ask us to deny climate change

We've dug a hole that we can't get out of
At the "climate mercy" from high above
Self-interest trumps the collective good
Tell the top players to do now what they should

Don't dare ask us to think or act short-term

Our little spades try digging us all out
As designer-suit dudes plow dirt round about
We dutifully sift through our own trash
So we make these moguls even more cash

Don't dare ask us to bow to huge profits

Those prominent peers, posers, pols and priests
They had their fair say and done their least
Fighting useless battles over oil sites
While we differ on clear-cut human rights

Don't dare ask us to reject world order

Elites hold the power and that is true
Puny results from what we folks can do
As much as we'd like to see it all stop
To fix this we must begin at the top

Don't dare ask us to back broken brokers

Seeing in stores all that shiny plastic
Vast plastic globs float in the Pacific
We drive plastic cars that are half the weight
With which green fuel is still under debate

Don't dare ask us to save our frail planet

Each ecosystem is interconnected
Rising like tides that are all effected
Now fires and storms rage behind a curtain
Weather is volatile and uncertain

Don't dare ask us to endanger species

Air, lands, waters hope for a better day
Some of earth's environs have lost their way
Without half our insects we must move on
The planet's trees are forever half gone

Don't dare ask us to fix this mega mess

Church Had Us Over Barrel

Church Had Us Over Barrel

Church really had us over barrel,
Heard choir sing Christmas carol;
Terrible sound,
All around;
Ended up in danger and imperil.

Imperil means to bring into peril
or endanger.

Truth

A bird flaps it's wings as it soars high above the sky..
Below the clouds..
Above the clouds..
And beyond..

The sweet taste of freedom..
Is expressed..

Trees in the forest breathe..
As they surround us all..
With their loving oxygen..
They spread their love on the whole..
Other trees..
Us..
Lovely creatures that roam..
As they balance beautiful nature..
Harmony flows to a tune of sweet melodies..

Rivers..
Streams..
Lakes..
Oceans..
Water flows in perfect symphonies ..
Of which they all form a choir of their own music..
Oh sacred water is cleansed and purified..
Humans may at times endanger the flow..
For they cannot hear their divine tunes..
For they cannot listen to the signs..

Truth being the divine essence of Mother Nature..
She lovingly blessed us with her magnificence..
To allow her truth..
To expand and radiate with all..
As we are all one..

Mr Fantastic

Bigger than bodacious,

higher TCH than contagious-

I poke at the smoke and make a cause to estrange this,

…toodle-to-do in my space ship!


I love how much I can remake this,

and bank the right to go out on a limb,

spill on the film,

make the gas on the ground increase its bliss,

run through the breeze and accept your diss,

though it is time to resist-
and look back at your breast...

Ask mother to draw me up a sign-
because like it or not you are on my line,

and my best friends,

and my bosses,

your eye’s doing crosses,

your cops pulling over bloggers!


Wait, 
stop!

I said stop on a dime!

Pick one up and help pay for the blind!

We adore dances as long as they make man-shifts,

make shift-

endanger wigs,

throw out chicken strips,

and hopeless trips!

Play out banquettes, with not enough men to spank it!

Even though they're all over it,

callin' all out smurf!
And say **** anybody with my tip!

It's high in the mountain range-
and it see's you as strange!

Blame  blame  blame!

And then do it all again!

Go to the gym later and explain!

Ask why do young men have names?...

I haven't given them my change,

I am still alive,

I deserve to be played!

I am in turn to say hey, go away,
you little brother,

stayin' for a long time and then bein' like...mine!

Premium Member At Times I Almost Swallow My Dentures

I know a very special young girlie
Who's caught me by the short curlys
Known her for years
Much joy and some tears
I'll never stop loving her surely

Promised that I'd love her forever
From the first day knew that I'd never
Betray her not a chance
It's a lifetime dance
This love's a forever endeavour

Devoted to this loving relationship
Not a chance I'd endanger it must admit 
This love is like gold
So precious to behold
There's no other to whom I'd submit

She's the absolute love of my life
Happy as a damn clam to be precise
It's a loving adventure
With this lady so tender
The dictionary calls it paradise

To end this story about treasures
Something should be added to my pleasures
Her lips are so luscious
My poor heart just gushes
At times I almost swallow my dentures

Premium Member Controlling Energy

Voices of the silent whispers echo deeply disturbing fact 
debates hold principle those with brains tear down structures 
human rights ignored opening up a can of worms within morals 
where truth is hidden away questions agenda 
envelope of forgotten yesterdays sealed fate 

Honour amongst thieves new world order social control 
handshakes grasp secret societies revealing dark shades 
cover ups underneath the veil careless actions endanger security 
desert storm powered by the central bank hidden secrets leak oil 
  
Where the so called elite are born without sin lawless diamonds 
with their silver spoons attached empty vessels without moral right 
classifies perfection untouchable agents of death 
In the heart of a free man looking at the system 
creating slavery cutting wages spying imprisoning freedom of choice 

Applying pressure drones killing families 
within a cloud of dust or inside evidence to support such horror actions 
criminal murderers sitting in their offices should be banged to rights 
leaving no place for hope or a just democracy strikes issues flawed  
To fatten their purses behind the revolving doors open guess
 
Suffering begins with espionage
 loveless pride exposing sheltered acts 
dragging your heals security council protecting the vulnerable's need  
instead liberal intelligence with your reductions clearly speak volumes  
threatening the poorer field positions you without care 

Royalty who profit from others pain hidden agendas lie 
conspiracy theories can carry truth to the button 
because something is hidden away under dressing why 
we ask ourselves those not brainwashed 
dirty arms deals laundering ill got money gains 
The heads of states 
they are clearly breaking the law
justice is so corrupt fact 
every Joe soap knows 
they only give us the partial truth 
optic nerve cell centre brings up a live wire 
They do not give a rats **** 
who use uranium tipped enriched missals 
poisoning the earth's crust stringing us along as peace keepers 
arming terrorists is an act of war against peace makers 
countless innocent have died at the hands of murderers

Premium Member Rumor Has It

1.
Rumor has it on heavens above
Among the angels’ divine sphere
That God after very much though  
Decided in man’s life to interfere     

2.
For He has observed Man’s mistakes 
Which lately too many came to be
To endanger the whole of creation 
Act with which God can never agree

3.
So the Lord has most recently chosen  
The book of life before long to reprint 
Revising certain of its very old chapters 
While others out will leave, He has hint  

4.
The concern of humans is now to know      
Which chapters the book will not contain, 
Which are going to be, somehow, revised 
And which intact will forever remain 

5.
What was heard through the vine though,   
It was Man’s huge and unbearable vanity 
That made our almighty Lord and creator 
To finally exclude the chapter of humanity  

6.
The reason our God in His infinitive wisdom
Reached such unexpected for Mankind conclusion 
Is the fact that Man during his reign on earth
Has hurt our planet with his insensitive intrusion

7.
It might still be time for Man overall to be saved    
If he started correcting his many mistakes soon
Beginning by respecting life and the whole planet  
And stop behaving as a dim-witted buffoon.

* According to UN’s most recent report (March 2014) “We  are in an era where 
climate change isn’t some kind of future hypothetical,” said Chris Field, one of 
the  two main authors of the report, and Rajendra Pachari chair of the IPCC 
(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) added: “Nobody on this planet 
is going to be untouched by climate change.” For that UN suggested measures 
to be taken immediately for to save the planet.
 Moreover, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ( PNAS), 
announced that  " Researchers have found out that pollutants are strengthening storms ...plus endanger the health of people."

This Time

Flushed,

kicked to the curb and stunned,

waanning, waanning and crumbling crumbs,

dispelled as dumbed,

come backs like lakes of water aren't even fun,

toned and intonated,

17 things to endanger-
39 to reconnoiter,

there was nothing to do,

nowhere to go,

some people showed,

they were enhanced,

I was so gold-

aggrandized yet grow'd,

I couldn't even agree with the folks,

got stunned and littered as the roads,

melted plaster and recreated the last masters focused.

No Looking Back


Morning light breaks through my trance...as
your loving words float off into the wind...like
a kaleidoscope of butterflies,
flashing before my eyes.

Too many forgotten words...
long after the euphoria of your first caress.

Your eager fingers playing smoothly
along my nerve ends...like
a magical moonlight sonata
lain out on an ethereal keyboard.

Droplets of musky perspiration
trailing down your chest...
lips, those precious lips, following
into the glistening valley of desire...as
a blue haze of passion
is thrown to never ending heights. 

Side by side two lost souls passing in the night...grasping
seeking solace one more time,  holding each other tight.

Silent as a whisper... I slipped away
not looking back at your slumbering form
I knew I could not stay in the safety of your arms
I could not endanger your life again.

You Are Here

Even if it took a thousand years,
Reaching you would still be near.
Indeed you must be a pearl,
Knowing this calms my fear;
And my gentle heart stares.

Oh! How odd are these words
Misleading as a wrong note on the cord
Ordering this joy to be bored
Rest assured this love is undying 
Even though it comes from one in white clothing
Given to you for safe keeping
Endanger not, this treasured offering.
