Premium Member I Simply Refused To Ride With Death
When I refused to ride with Death
He tied my hands and feet,
Then tossed me in with some poor guy
He'd grabbed up off the street.

Oh, what a hurry he was in!
He slammed it to the floor.
We sat in wide-eyed, abject fear,
Each clinging to a door.

While whizzing...

Refused To See
There are still nights
Up alone, I think of you
How right you were
But still how very wrong 
How can that be?
I battle amongst myself
Temptation to call
Just want to hear your voice
See your face
Though I know it’s wrong
I want to touch your lips
With mine
Remember the kiss I...

The Church Refused To Christen a Baby
In Jesus's day they got thrills from fire,
todays world we put wheels on flyers,
they didn't use drills to find supplies
and they hadn't the skills to fly the skies.

The Bible is wise and full of wisdom,
it gives ideas of the Holy Kingdom,
and teaches ways of Gods...

Refused To Die
I held the stumbling humanoid,
learning to stand on two feet- scared as an alien.
I was his cradle and his playground—
even before he was called *****Sapien.

Watched him crawl on hands and feet,
watched him grow, move and trail
His hungry mind lost all its restraint.
Unknown quest beckoned...

The Night the Moon Refused To Shine
on this stage
 as i face the struggle within
 setting the past aside
 i've grown used to my indecent hostilities
 transfixed by the sadness of poverty 

i tire of the disappearance of life
 doing things no one appreciates 

i try to ignore the irrational

Why She Refused His Kiss
He drew her close and tried to paint a kiss on her soft cheek,
angrily she refused,freed herself and closed the door on his face,
her choked voice came from inside,'Where's my choco you promised, Dad?'

She Refused To Settle For Less
Among the keepers of hope, and 
Along the destroyers of faith-
World filled with doubting minds-
Where truth is weighed behind reason
Leaving people at the crossroads-
With markings of confussion all-over
Everyone picking sides
To embrace sense of belonging,
She refused to settle for less,
Carry her light with both hands-
And walk...

The Day the World Refused To Shine
The sun didn't shine that day
Birds refused to sing
The sky was black with anger
Poets couldn't rhyme

She was a happy girl
Her parents loved her so
While asleep in her fluffy bed
She sat straight up CRASH!

The moon didn't shimmer
The stars were onyx
The flowers didn't grow
And grass didn't turn...

The Little Spider I Refused To Kill- Part 1
The little spider walked under me
In the bathroom
I noticed him as he came towards me
I narrowed his space to come
He ran, hanging to his soul to flee
To the other side
I spoke
Go and I wont harm you
He paused standing still to listen 
I took the tissue...

The Man Who Refused Water
I had a glass of water
I gave it to you, 
And you splashed it all over me
Because you believe 
You'll taint the water 
Or the water will cease to be water 
If it's given to you 
So you choose to remain parched 
Skin dry, lips...

The Refused Is the Confused
Heart with Joy suffused,
Later Help refused!
So, No Hopes infused,
It’d remain confused…

A Factory Worker,
For twelve years Dock Worker;
One could not be great,
If one would just wait.
“Who does jams his gate
To walk with poor gait:
Who does ends up ‘Poor,’
About this ‘For Sure’

Denied sponsorship
He won’t sail his ship:

Refused
I walked with scents and beauty

Redwoods, lilies, pines, morning glory's

Camped in darkness amist shinging stars

Just for future stories



Water gushing with force

Shooting with grace off beaten rocks

Crisp air for a last breath

A door to which I knock



Please let me enter

I feel my deeds are done

Refuse me...

Snowfall
He said it was muddy. I refused to believe it as it was snowing.  

We were on a high avalanche. 
But we were both too advanced in this world!  

He said it was snowing. I refused as it was snowfall. 

That led to a never-ending...

Unpopular Questions Number 4: Hitler
"Mein Kampf" held the clue for you and Europe
You hoped Hitler would destroy Soviet Russia, then itself

Game Theory, realpolitik, so-called political scientists say, "realism"
O how many ways we refused to help Jews - US refused refugees till 1941!
Don't hate me: these are facts of history....
