Of Pestilence and Resilience
My wife woke me up last night and said that she had been bitten all over by something,
She said she was certain it had not been me...
Alarmed! I rolled off the bed and landed on my knee.
Our baby was sleeping soundly and he did give...

Poetic Pestilence / Or, I Hate Bugs!!!
I'm sitting at a desk,
no longer mine,
in a house that is no more,
before me, a glass of wine,
and a book I've seen before

a journal, forty years old,
my wisdom then, was somehow
seemingly far greater and visionary,
than what I have just now...

there's termites in my floorboards,
there's termites...

When the dynamo
of effervescent truisms
rears it's head
through anxiety laden thoughts

you begin to understand
the ebb and flow
of the mysteries
of the mind.

You realize that sometimes
reflections mixed with meditation
can lead you to
wild ruminations

whereby you create
unrealistic situations
fostered by introspection.
It is just a fact

of human nature
that everyone must deal with

Premium Member In the Time of Pestilence Don'T Hug the Bug
Nobody should be hugging, if you please;
We brought it with us from when chimpanzees.
Kissy lips is a humanity trait;
But humans ain’t, for the planet, so great....

Struggle of Pestilence
Are you sitting down? Sit here, momentarily in this chair.
Let me convey to you something so very important.
Your body is unhinged to get mended will be a feat.
You must consume these pills, then obey those rules.
Forget your mannerisms and the way you even reason.
Everything you’ve...

War Shall Come and With It Pestilence
The raptors, the vultures, the scavengers,
They circle the sky in search of meat.
The carcasses of the fatalities of plague
Lay outstretched on the hills of Attica.
Those that chose not to abstain
Have joined the crowd of corpses.
They do not bury the dead, instead, 
They let them rot...

Kiss of Pestilence
Was it destiny that led me to you 
On that night when our eyes first met? 
How could love have felt so true 
From one kiss so soft, and yet…

Burned so deep within my soul 
A vast emptiness was thus ensured,
Defiling my heart, creating this...

The New Pestilence
There at once looms a lethal disease
Across the globe begins to breeze
Taking its toll on the old and young
Flings the whole world into unease

Danger impending, little chance to duck
Everyone ruffled, nervous, and in shock
Afraid of others, chary to mingle 
Damning this pouring pestilent ill luck

Panicked...

Premium Member Hoping For That Day When This Pestilence Has Gone Away
Feeling quite alone 
Wishing deep in our hearts to go back to that known. 
What do we do when we feel this despair?
In these circumstances that surround us, and we can’t compare?

Is it confusion that we feel the most?
Or an inability to understand this invisible...

Pestilence.
.
Sheer madness
Panic and chaos
Tainted with sadness
A wave of pestilence
Sweeping through our lands
The so called experts and Government
Don’t fully understand
Has now cursed the populous
Got out of hand
.
Excessive greed
Disregards common sense
And necessities of basic need
Panic buying
Leaves others without
And many dying
.
The media machine spins fabrications
And fear on a...

Pestilence
Fell out of bed upon my head
After dreaming I snapped this thread
Sorrow whispers filled me with dread
As I pondered what lied ahead

Stubbed my toe on a soul laid low
His wounded tale filled me with woe
Such remote hopes dashed long ago
The mountaineer climbed a plateau

Could not...

Pestilence
Where is pestilence in the world today?
In everything you do.
From pop-ups on computer screens
to settings set for you.

Where phone calls come from marketers
to con you out of money.
And flyers from your government
to say all days are sunny.

Where canvassers will knock at doors
and rob you of...

A godless mass afraid of Death,
though unfettered by rebellion against God.
Uneasy calm imposed by modern gadgets, 
global alarm from nations once revered, 
A surge of pestilence from the east 
trans-versing the cope of earth,
undefined yet named, 

A demon unleashed beyond  proud science,  
The...
