Retaliation Day
Retaliation Day

Mother Nature’s hurting
She’s crying, feel the rain?
She’s angry, we’ve abused her
For our own selfish gain.
The world and all its treasures                        ...

Retaliation Betrayal
#retaliation

bare the feelin of betrayal 
is nothin we wanna deal wit,
the feelin of betrayal will
make us wanna kill real quick fix,

some get back! would be real nice right?
bare the feelin of betrayal
retaliation? served cold, ice!
is it worth it? satisfying? 
our freedom? family? future?

incarceration? maybe so

Retaliation
Retaliation

No one knows how it got started
No one knows why it wont stop
No one likes it on the bottom
We all want to be on top
No one seems to know the reason
No one really seems to care
No one likes to be the loser
We all scream that...

Devine Retaliation
He abused women then just left them flat
Pushed from a roof to the ground he went splat
At Gods feet he'd say,
"Forgive me I pray!"
But she replied, "Oh, It's too late for that!"...

Retaliation
On the edge,
you receive the onslaught
of moonlight.

Drummed and sawed, 
you take up the challenge
and move on.

In rains 
the dreams wash the rainbow
inviting the Iris.

Tonight, you 
will have an audience
will the estranged god.

A taper 
in the sun wants its
place on the moon.

Premium Member Retaliation For Small Pox Blankets
Fort Pueblo 1854, retaliation swift, no one was toying.
We rebels thought the British Empire annoying
Nonchalant agents ignored the plan with noncaring eyes. 
It is a misnomer that the Europeans are the good guys.

We were the bad guys during the Indian Wars, totally unfair. 
Giving smallpox...

Premium Member Retaliation Might Be Hell
The old lady expels a sneeze that travels the length of the stadium
Landing with a salty splat on observers who are rooting for the other team
Yes! Yell her comrades, not realizing the other side has nuclear weapons
And little notion of how unleashing them may hurt...

The Retaliation
The retaliation

the faithful wife came into her husband´s bedroom
he was propped up by pillows and had difficult breathing
I have always loved you, and she said I will help you now
stamped him with stiletto through his heart.
Law is the law she was found guilty of murder.
They...

Premium Member Breakup Before Valentine's Day
It is wonderful that you unilaterally
Decided to split up with me
Before Valentine’s Day
I am elated to make the following announcement: 
The cake will be shared with my friends
The chocolate will be given to my cats and dogs
The candles will be donated to the church
My lovely...

Premium Member What’s Up Doc
I went to the docs for a blood test; routine
That morning I’d been on the weighing machine
So I knew my weight and my height… give or take
(And, okay, I don’t look a lot like a rake)

He asked me my height and he asked me my...

Veiled
She has belief
without comprehension
and in her crutchwork shack
she is
much like us . . .

tamping the bread
into edible forms,
regarding her children
at play
with something akin to relief . . .				

ignoring the towers ablaze
in the distance
because they are not revelations
but things of glass,
easily shattered . . .

and if...

This Can'T Be Good
My deepest fears are coming true
Total darkness  bleeding through
Raging inferno that's within my soul
No longer I desire to maintain control
Exposing the darkness for all to see
"Reveal your demon!" they beg of me...
