Premium Member Never Shame a Woman
Never ever shame a woman
for the fire in her soul
still your fear that you're unable
to give that which makes her whole

Never ever shame a woman
for the fierceness of her love
when she wants to subjugate you
she's an eagle, not your dove

Never ever shame a woman
for her...

Premium Member For Shame
The inky black water sucks her in further
As she descends into the black depths of the abyss
Cloying dark swirls cover her head as soundlessly it reaches
Possessing her every inhalation – exhalation - it envelopes her with force
Takes her heart, reaches for her soul, it’s now...

Premium Member Shame
Shame covers me with a black robe,
it makes me feel dirty and unworthy.
So my eyes are cast downward,
observe the blush of my cheeks.
I fear our secret will be revealed!
If so will I lose God's favor?
To whom will I make my confession?
"Shame on me." Somehow it...

IN SHAME

When I was a little girl father brutally beat me down with such severity, and humiliation, causing me to hang my head down low in unimaginable shame.

For All of My Sin Guilt and Shame
For All Of My Sin, Guilt And Shame…

The sins  I’ve committed…  There are so many.
Is there any hope for me.   Is there ANY?

The things I’ve done have caused me much shame.
I’m often embarrassed when 
others call my name.

My past failures and...

Premium Member Boats of Shame
Bring your guns
Bring your boats
Boats filled with ghosts
Boats weighted with chains
Chains that will one day break
Chains that will carry
Carry us to Zion
Carry our pain
Pain born of separation 
Pain that preceded
Preceded our birth
Preceded our rising
Rising here within a new nation
Rising for we know
Know that Ja is...

SHAME
contempt
misfortune

his pride mortified
by a venomous tongue
dripping spiteful jealousy

“the fury of a woman scorned”

Premium Member List of Shame
You'd think by now companies would have seen the light
And stopped trading in Russia and doing what is right
But many big companies are still there, raking it in
Indirectly funding that war mongerer Vladimar Putin.

See the list of companies above and remember a name
How the hell...

Premium Member Lust and Shame
By Debbie Guzzi & Robin Gass 

He was kind, he was my friend, think again. 
As to a fathers open arms, we ran. 
A child’s trust flows like sand, shatters like glass. 
Thus, exposing the naked lust of man. 

As to a fathers open arms,...

Premium Member Name and Shame
Got married, my surname’s now Cotton,
Our baby’s name can’t be forgotten,
We called her ‘ Polly Esther’
(I’m considered a jester)
My family thought we were rotten!

Toothless grin implores
Pleading eyes so pained
People passing ignore
Beggar should be ashamed

Compassionless society
Lazy get a job
Regardless of sobriety
People lose all hope

Victim of circumstance
Job loss, mental health
Heartbreaking happenstance
Me relative wealth

Reach down deep
Cashless society
No place to sleep
One eye open nightly

No change given
Change a mans life
Suicide driven
Problematic rife

Never...

Premium Member what a shame about his name! - bawdy warning

A fella’s promoted at work
His office sign makes people smirk
It reads W. Anchor -
Head overseas banker
His shortened name drives him berserk

Work colleagues all know him as Billy
His parents name choice, was so silly
He's named William Anchor
It fills him with rancour
He's lucky he wasn't called Willie!...
