Semper AlumnusThank you God
That I’m always a student
I abhor
The slaughters of the babies
Toddlers were killed dead
Young boys and girls were shot dead
Pregnant women were stabbed dead
That’s terror
Young men were executed
Young women were raped and killed
That’s horror
Women weren’t spared
Sick women were beat
Old men and women
Weren’t exempt
No error
Fuhrer is alive
Terrorism
Is not dead
Students have conscience
Leaders lie
The buildings are pulverized
Treaties...

Semper FidelisFor aught we know
Love sometimes plays two hearts...
There are times that
Love is ironic
We need to get hurt,
To love.
We need to lie
Just to tell the truth.
We need to feel the pain
In order to show that we really care.
We became strangers to ourselves.
When eccentric feelings
Strike...

Semper FidelisOur team lost today
lost yesterday too
the game before that
the one prior to that too
Seems they're on a losing streak
Is our team really that weak?
Or are the others too tough
and ours a creampuff?
Whatever the truth, I'm loyal still
I believe that our team surely will --
win a...

Semper, Mater VesterCome sit with me, my darlings,
beneath this apple tree.
Come sit with me, my sweethearts,
Do you not sense? It's me.
Come sit with me, my lovelies,
all seasons of all years.
Come sit with me, my precious ones.
Come sit with me, my dears.

Semper FidelesI’m a victim of this life.
cursed by God, a poisoned mind
perhaps if I lacked the sight,
at peace I’d be, for beauty blinds.
I, a violent child.
Waterfalls, song, paintings and poem.
Mountains, thunder, this world and beyond it.
Heaven and hell, angels that fell
I stand among them, seeking their hell
for I am now cursed, cursed to be breathing,
so I...

Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis - part iiHighlight of Goofus and Gallant
bred within the survival instinct
of hungry hordes of prey,
when Earth in the balance
against an uncomfortable truth
smug smurf like scavengers.
Punishment meted out
and limited by the poison
yielded courtesy iron maiden
of hand-to-hand mortal kombat.
Only when...
