Best Slaughtered Poems


Slaughtered Innocence
The hideous and the humble
Blood peppers falling snow
As world hurtles to the tipping point
Life chokes on ignited air
Wrenching love from hungry mouths
Stars fall without sound
Some weep helpless, day through night
Ever wondering how
Never knowing why ......

Slaughtered Memory
In wake of a new born day,
under the peace of a floating clouds,
the ghost of slaughtered mem'ry rose
from the cracks of her sleepless grave,
to fill the heart she once tore.



The sleeper in the tomb awoke
to quench the flames of her broken home
and to heal the...

Slaughtered Innocents
slaughtered innocents
lambs on an evil altar
sacrificed to hate
carnage outrages the gods
spilt blood spells out remember

You was such a big  bird fatten
The first to grace our table
We almost always had a young hen
Sometimes a mean ol' rooster if we were able

Looking foward to the golden bird
With the crispy, crunchy skin not curd
A drumstick or a baby drumette
The bird of...

I Slaughtered An Iguana Yesterday Just To Watch One Die
NO, IT WAS NOT PANAMA PETE THIS TIME
She and I met at a bar so it’s very ironic
That now I should require some pills and a tonic
Just to forget what Joe the barkeep wants to know
I simply suppose because business was slow
So Joe told me...

We Are Not Cows To Be Slaughtered
One cow is equal to one soul;
One soul is equal to one cow 
We are all cows walking on the street,
All souls are cows the Namas said!


Kill one cow they will kill two souls,
Our grasses their cows graze on fearlessly.
Fearlessly they took our wells in...

Slaughtered Moon
Slicing thoughts, destiny
timeness of present, trying to watch
inside. The inverted question. Mask
removed.

Your own progeny spying on you,
disowning the moon bears. Beyond
truth was a huge wall. Ensnarement.
Whispers silenced.

A vast void. Interpretation of disguised
Voilence. Hostilities in elliptic orbit. Moon
slaughtered. Death was quick, spurting
the blood. Smearing the intelligence.

Paper...

That Much Slaughtered For a Sweetness
so much darkness    so much light
 when i cannot see  i remember
to never look  directly into
  that dark  and sorry ending
(while the faithful are healing;
 angels are mending (so many
  as mountains)) and that much
slaughtered for a...

Slaughtered Self-Esteem
Maybe, wrongly,
But I tell you, strongly,
I’m beginning to reckon
That to one we often beckon,
We our self-esteem erode,
And our flesh corrode,
And the very guy goad,
To on our shoulders drop a load,
Weighing a thousand grams of neglect,
And another of disrespect,
Any soul should last expect …
With its awful...

Slaughtered Dreams
It rained last night,
dampness giving a tumultuous pleasure
the day before, town was burning.
Weeping ashoka laden with smudges,
and sky was crimson red, 
You could not avoid this heat and dust,
love and hate; sharing the cooling winds.

The patterns are changing,
what to redeem, what not.
Trampled by death everywhere,
frightened...
