The 100 Year War

I rise
Mighty and strong
Armor plated and ready for battle
I shall behead the infidel
I shall conquer the evil doers
I am a warrior
Both great and bad

I am a warrior, and
I am sad
Tears fall upon my sword 
I know not why
This great warrior why do...

From far beyond their skeleton homes and on beyond their drum

Arrived with thirteen horses led, ship- wrights...

Premium Member When I Was Young 1970s
I saw one journey end and another begin
I saw my world changed and in a spin 

I saw another end - the end of the band
I saw John and Yoko hand in hand

I saw commandos in the air armed and ready
I saw hostages freed in...

Fields of Fiction
I frolic in the fields of fiction,
Since the real world isn't my ideal depiction.
Sweep me away to a far off land,
Let me embrace an elf maidens shimmering hand.

Have dragons fall before my sword,
Make armies bow before my horde.
Allow me to chase down my shadow to...

The Voice For Mother Nature David Attenborough
At a very young age, David spent his early days 
collecting natural specimens, fossils and stones
always venturing out, to our planets sun rays
throughout his amazing life, even, with old bones

As a broadcaster, writer, educator and naturalist
and his two years spent, serving the Royal Navy
he has...

Premium Member I Wish You Knew Letter Toterrorists
Who is this God you worship Isis
That keeps the whole world in crisis
Spending your days raping and killing
All nationalities blood in the street spilling

I wish you knew the God I know
There is no other God that loves us so
He loves every tribe, language, people and...

On All Levels But Physical, I Am Dead
Just as God cast Lucifer from his Millennial Kingdom
So too have I been ousted from your Turbulent Heaven
And as a fallen general would fall on his sword
So too do I feel icy metal piercing my flesh

The doc withdraws my blood
I've been coming to this hospital...

Premium Member I Wandered Lonely As a Word

" I wandered lonely as a cloud "
 ~William Wordsworth ~ 

I wandered lonely as a word 
In quest of beauty not yet told;
Once found, I’m pining to be heard 
And stir your slumb’ring core. Behold! 
Poetic words don’t cease to sway 
Keen hearts and...

Feral Exchange

I am well spotted and nasty and do not mind that description

Will gather my fortune whatever is your inappropriate depiction

Dig my teeth into your body and soul straight down to the bone

Leave my scent on your remains with a well-executed stepping stone


Once we hunted...

The Virus
The lesser of two evils, do two wrongs make one right?
The bullets may have steel hulls, but it takes powder to ignite.

The elephant in the room, can't be seen.
It's a skeleton in the closet, for too long it has been.

So bite the bullet, let the...

Who Needs God?
so who do you think needs the Lord God?
is it only those who possess a righteousness of heart?

we live in a cultural society of spiritual disillusion
where some feel if there was no God there would be less chaos and confusion
but chaos and confusion are in...

What the hell have I 
...but hands full of dust
From beneath that dead tree without shelter nor brush
Upon this desolate land without shadow or shade
Where the earth has been scorched and it's skin is decayed
Those who will enter shall fall by the sword
Then portioned to...

Premium Member Falling Upon My Sword
My ethics roundly are ignored.
I prepare to fall upon my sword.
However true I wield my blade
given time, thrusts seem to fade.
Now it appears to be so plain
our nemesis can't be slain.
Even with downtrodden mistreatment
sadly there will be no impeachment.

Can we quell the greed at the...

Tower of Light
In the dark of night 
I’m in my tower of light
It’s time to face my demons
And face the fight
My hands are clenched 
These fists of rage
The beasts uncaged
My rage bleeds out 
upon a journals page....

My heartbeat hammers, 
Sound the drums of war
The waves are crashing...
