Slaughter of the Innocents
Millipede eating baby cockroach
An innocent victim
I feel no sympathy...

Premium Member Innocents
In a war-torn town
on a cold Christmas morn'
two children huddle close
trying to keep warm.
They have asked for no presents,
no toys of fun,
just for the gift of life
and the silence of the gun.

Premium Member Innocents, Bruised and Battered
Innocents bruised and battered.


A world where fear and confusion reign together
 
in sonic synchronicity

The vainglorious cast their shadows of doubt,
 
on seekers of truth and serenity

The heart of man never learns, 

only for greed and it´s lust for money it burns

Human compassion is silenced by...

Premium Member The Indiscriminate Slayings of the Innocents
The massacres of our beautiful people must STOP.
It is unconscionable to destroy so many lives
For selfish and hatred reasons. God, in his archives, 
Have recorded everything, which occurred, from top
To bottom, from sunset to sunrise, from the start
To the end. God knows what’s going on...

Premium Member Innocents
Caught in a madman’s rage
Life distorted
Normal becomes abnormal
Sense becomes senseless
Logic disappears
Flowers appear
Springing from the bloody ground
Can they hallow the soil?
In this eternal struggle
Of good versus evil
Love versus hate
The decision is yours
Choose wisely among
The images you resurrect

Will you choose 
Flowers
Living symbols
A kaleidoscope
Of changing patterns
Varied hues of
Red,...

The Death of the Innocents
The Death of the Innocents

By Elton Camp

About politics or government I take no position
In this, yet another, “horrors of war” composition

My memories of the Second World War are few
My time was occupied with what little kids do

The reasons for rationing were regularly reported
That there was...

Premium Member Blessing of Innocents
May there always be a God/dess for you
a Messiah with you
a Kalki in you
a Maitreya of you
a Twelfth Imam as you.

May there always be a God/dess
who sees her/his best self through your eyes,
who hears his/her most beautiful song in your ears,
who smells our most transporting...

How the Acid Rain Riots Stole My Innocents
As Nissan cars drove through the bars they picked up Jesus who yelled out to 
the populous HEY LOOK AT ME I’M FREE! And he was free to and God said 
check in later, but go be who you want to be. Society cried for...

Slaughtered Innocents
slaughtered innocents
lambs on an evil altar
sacrificed to hate
carnage outrages the gods
spilt blood spells out remember

For Carolyn's 9-11 contest...

Innocents Indecent Endeavors
Of the bastard’s son, his mentality belied
That which was unforeseen among simple minded
People. A state with which corruption pollutes and lies,
While women in white sheets must be reminded.

For who can join in speech of which social populace cries,
When thou who is speaking knows not about...

Your wild innocents

Premium Member Grieving the Loss
Solemn newscasters retell
Accounts filled with sorrow.
More children lost
where they should have been safe.

Seven lives cut short by 
the careful planning of one.

We see Rachel’s tears
falling again. They’re gone.
Parents, communities cry out
“How can such evil be addressed?”

Empty arms ache with excruciating pain.
We remember Michelangelo’s “La Pieta”,
She...

Premium Member Nine Eleven: Towers To Tears
Take me down to ground zero, brother,
I need to see the truth -
where dark angles from hell
put evil in place,
and three thousand innocents died.

Take me down to ground zero, sister,
I want to feel the void -
when an enemy’s faith 
put death before life,
and cowards made...

Itchy Fingers?

I don’t mind dying in a nuclear war.
As long as it’s quick, not a lingering bore.
It’ll give the elite a chance to see the cloud.
Kill off the plebs in a crimson shroud.

I know their fingers are itching.
To press the oblivion button.
See what happens, 
from...
