Premium Member God's Wrath - a Neglected Subject
The modern man ceases to accept God exists
for he constantly runs away from this thought
not only that God is but we must answer Him
for this God is angry and is really red hot

We all know we're not perfect but not too bad
but does the Bible...

Premium Member Abandon Dwelling Neglected-
Dwelling abandon neglected
Not at all picturesque 
This decaying house
Been condemn now for nineteen months
From the roof to the porch
Harvesting ferns in garden
Overgrown growths wild grasses dandelions
Up the swaying staircase 
Window,door crack and broken a mess
The sun and wind whispers through the downspouts and eves
Condemn and...

a sweet puppy
without a home to live
warm bed given by a stranger

In Dunkersfield Lies A Neglected Grave



In Dunkersfield lies a neglected grave
 last vestige of a precious life gave
No massive stone to mark the resting spot
of a simple man that gave all he got

Town people say they knew him so well
 had big secrets he'd never...

Our Neglected Mother - Nature
No one sees the tears of Nature...
When Pollution propels her heart to rupture...
No one feels for the predominant pain...
When we torture our Mother like kids insane...

Her tears...her pain...her yell...
As though She has been transformed to Hell...
Fail to sway our heads indifferent...
As we continue to crush...

Premium Member Elected Neglected
If you come in 'like a wrecking ball' 
in your bare essentials,
you must expect
the shrapnel to cut deeper
than the skin,
lest you hide behind 'the party line'.

Politically speaking
if now we are being softened up 
for the deep and gruesome cuts 
in the budget to come, 
then...

Ode To the Long Neglected Squirrel
Hail, high denizen of tree,
not one improvident like me,
safe within your arbor's ruts,
there you keep your store of nuts.
Autumnal bunting soon must end.
and winter dearth is round the bend.
When I behold you as you nibble,
what need have I of nymph or Sibyl?
Lavish more verses on...

Neglected Beauty
NEGLECTED    BEAUTY

Beauty-mica granite sidewalks shining 
Fontanka and Moika  Canals  like Venice boreal
Boats  flopping, tourist cameras aligning
Gold-domed  architecture monumental 
Kazan cathedral  needing  facelift, declining





Notes :

(SPB = Saint  Petersburg,  Russia )
Almost all sidewalks in SPB ...

Premium Member Through the Eyes of a Neglected Child
I cling to mother
with unconditional love
arms wrapped around tight-
immune to pain of neglect
my bond knows no other way

Eyes steadfast in gaze
upward turned to mother's face
searching for comfort-
the innocence of my heart
sees only this, my mother

I see not the truth
the hours left unattended
many missed feedings-
imprinted with...

Premium Member Neglected
You didn't listen to what she had to say
Now you understand why she went away
In your heart you long to have her back
It's not too late you will see that day

You did not recognize that you had a gift
It was sadness that caused your mind...

Premium Member Neglected
to press on strings, these digits, sore
thru pain, let chord and cadence pour
oh how could I so long ignore
that sound that stirred my spirit
and what had helped me hear it?

thru all those years of muse mistrust
and jousting gists that seemed unjust
you sat unvoiced, and gathered...

Premium Member Middle Child Syndrome
When I was 4 1/2 years old, 
as abrupt as a spanking, 
my once reliable mother brought home 
a hospital surprise 
with an alien face and 
a blood-darkened eerie belly clip 
that was to suddenly fall off one day. 
Soon I became 
much uglier than...

Street Life
I am born to hassle
Grown to live with hustlers
I am born in the street and raised in the waves of nowhere
I am the daughter of the cage
Under the bridge is where I lay my head
I am the seed of poverty
Hunger is what drives me wild
I...
