Best Raid Poems

Love raided the heart

And occupied my mind

There was no chance

But to surrender

For, the love army surrounded the gates

Hopes failed

Wishes shattered

Army encountered

Ceasefire was restored

I began to forget the hard days

The army again planned an offence

Where I had no chance of defence

From then on:

I am in a...

In Ulzana's Raid,
the Native- and European-American concepts of property ownership
      and rights
are incompatible and irresolvable. McIntosh
had no illusions about that. He said hating Apaches for killing whites
is like hating the desert for having no water.
I suspect the movie's not a...

RAID ON AIDS

 

Methuselah’s age, wisdom produce

Longevity a dream comes true

Humanity, cuts a perfect picture

Our existence, evolved in pleasure

A good life, mortals must treasure

Be very shrewd, to mark a measure

Riotous life, concludes your closure

By a dove’s wisdom, uphold a future.

 

 

Productivity groans in decline

Man’s...

A toddler’s heels wham… flip flop flip flop 
Annoyed by the sound that runs non-stop,
Dad grabs a plug to cover his ears
While an army of fleas seem to appear
Invading pet cat as child squirts a hose,
“I must declare, it’s a raid...I suppose”
As father throws kitty...

stealthy
  creeps the mist
  slips into

  shutting portals

Flank left and run it up the hill
everything that moves, is who we're gonna kill.
Our way is better than theirs
I don't care if they were here first
Burn it all and raze it to the ground
in the chaos glory will be found.
No prisoners, mercy's for the...

The drone of bombers 
In the night sky 
A wail of sirens 
From the terrified city
Where youth and innocence die.

Surreptitiously she crept
Her way toward the refrigerator
Where leftover chocolate pudding
Had been stored for eating later

Of course, you know how it is
In this kind of circumstance
First one in gets the goodies
There is no second chance

Fearing missing out on treats
You sneak around late at night
Frantically raiding the...

Raid versus woe

Black flag(s) show up
on social media platforms
when potential homicidal maniac(s)
communicate(s) intent to strike
with ambush and ready
read - able, eager, and willing
to embark upon murderous rampage.

Prospective killer armed to the teeth
usually a young bucking male
between ages of eighteen and twenty five
wielding, targeting subjects then...

The people seem calm, yet tension is everywhere.
We know it is the intention
Of the Americans to attack today.
War has been declared, it is coming our way.

The night has just started when the sirens wail.
Baghdad is assailed
With missiles setting the city on fire.
A show of might....

They had a sense in being right 
Listened to those explain their plight 
Docked inside the sailing ports 
Going into battle wearing a shirt, socks and shorts 
On a battlefield called sports 
Saints giving a Southampton name 
European football was the game 
Granted no championship...
