Rise Up Warrior And Slay The Savage Beasts


Rise thyself up and fight the angry storm
Tomorrow will certainly be far too late
Stirring winds are flashing their usual norm
In conjunction with busy hands of Fate
Trees swaying, limbs breaking, man what a roar
The angry gods are gifting out their wrath
Dancing up the valley, vengeful they tore
Leaving an unholy ripped up path.

Rise as a young man full of piss and gin
Know how world hits hard as it operates
Kick the new dawn and race onward to win
Swing thy hammer to ruin and decimate
For the crowd rejoices in a winner
Hercules a hero, killed the beast
Have a feast, roast pig for your fine dinner
The slayers are vacationing back east.

Rise up a warrior, with heart and brass shield
Let thy sword arm cut and see running red
Refuse to beg and thee must never yield
Never give up unless you are stone-dead.

Robert J. Lindley, Dec 7th 1979

Note-
Last night we had a party.
The bar was full and truly a'hopping. 
Wrote this poem when I got home, then went to sleep.

Play Us Or Slay Us

Written By:  D. Collins 1/4/19


We are here for a reason.  To shoot for the gold.
Showing Katrina survivors still have a soul.
They have to play us or slay us in our backyard.
Or, gain firsthand knowledge of “Goin’ Hard”.


We host this party with one intention in mind.
To be the last man standing at the finish line.
What ever team comes here, is rolling the dice.
“I guarantee you, yeah”.  Our fans “ain’t nuthin nice”.


Backing our Saints, we are coming in force.
And, we “Refugees” ain’t taking no shorts.
With Tupac conviction, the hunger is there.
Bring the Lombardi Trophy into the lion’s lair.


Our only mission is to bring respect to the “Boot”.
And, that’s exactly what a Lombardi would do.
So, play us or slay us under the Superdome.
There’s nothing we’d like better carrying home.

Word Say, Word Slay

Chinese whispers and the rumours,
do some brains have blisters and tumours,
spreading gossip forever continues,
slaying all logic to rest in tombs.

These lips leak lies like lethal fumes,
wear thick lipstick and bad perfumes,
they want a war of words I presume,
but wars with me will ensure their doom.

Be certain, that's a certainty,
for now you're no concern to me,
no urgent need for surgency,
your simple minds aren't hurting me.

I could strike or just leave you be,
as you create your own reality,
but I don't care 'cus in time they'll see
your bonkers mental insanity.

In Defeating You, I Slay The World You Live In


Stoning you, I slay you , cut into you 
with hatred in my rapid surging heart
Such is very deserved and more is due 
I try to break your body all apart 

As you cry for sweet mercy try to think
you that lived and wallowed in darkest sin
Gleefully you drove me into the brink 
as you grew the hate that I once lived in

Beg, graven coward for any relief 
as I break another bone for sweet joy
Deriding my every moral belief 
claimed power over me as a mere boy

You shame me so, my dark and evil twin 
I defeat you, sink the world you live in

R. J. Lindley, 1973

Find a Giant and Slay It

Hungry minds grow
This is something we need to know
Everybody wants to be 
Yet many don’t want to grow

The darkness paves a way
Believing in yourself is something you need to say
Life paints an adventure with different shades
The blade of truth
Should teach you that you must not forget to pray
So find a giant and slay it
Let the blazing sun of hope
Illuminate your mind because
Hungry minds grow
This is something we need to know

Premium Member Slay Queen Empire

Physical glow of a queen with the account of a peasant
maintaining the countenance that will make men arise
against a few disapprovals, she manages the crack
a self acclaimed socialite with an office built with nothing
smart phone, the converter of her fantasy to reality
with contracts making way through a chat or a dial
electrical and anatomical devices, her means of survival
a constant traveler in need of her own private boeing
events are graced, lashing out “let them say”
all the blessings of life are peaked when fake
then the few tasty meals must be exaggerated
snapshots top her chart of precious stones
God, sometimes dragged into the show to be a partner
an empire so large to the mind, but very small to the eyes
she manages for the interest of her curious fans.


Slay

I love the way I slay 
every thing I encounter ..from this sexy outfit ,to my French tip manicure.I slay this green hair and this sexy makeup on my face.yes that's the way I slay 
I slay this and I slay that but as a matter of fact I 'll slay this relationship too so I don't think I'll ever need you ..

That's how I slay ..

Pixie poet

Slay Mama and the Slain

Man down ,slay on..... 
Is the anthem, as she churn louder 
Fix, paint, tight and briefs...
So she presumed the loudest 
Culture inborn but she doesn't Observe precepts 
On some Instagram cos that's what's on 
Flow so flowing when the followers turned on 
But before on onset ,
Thoughts of these filled her mind 
Now she's less upset 
Cos she dwelleth 
More on the facet 
Rather than the content 
Of humanity ......
 

She feels less concerned 
Cos Her life is a major advert 
Bringing more of perverts 
Cos she would rather stay controversial 
Than mind what ya say.. 

Now, Its a pity cos  I'm 'pointing fingers 
I first came unto earth, backed up by the universe 
Adam my first name..
Mind grew and still growing 
Inventions stay the meter 
So everyone applauding 
Smile so Real 
But most for the gram 
Say cheese !
Now brothers staying cheesed up 
Some on the facet 
Cos most on the gram.  
Forth a friction, igniting 
What our taken ribs do...

Culture and morals should  re inculcate 
The Old-folks pray on....
Yonder is how the world shifts though. 
         
                            Status quo ....

Declension

Man’s intrinsic apathy's negligence-justified frown
Is the actual defining substance of a mortal clown;
Who with hollowed prejudgments fellow men slays,
And likens to hallowed duty his thoughtless decays. 

He is evil's meekest martyr by doom's onus bound,
The cold-blooded outlaw donning dark's lucid veils;
His the bounden call to trim unwary lives that thrive, 
His a sworn charge to hit to halt sea's merriest sails. 

They're hell's happiest saints of true devoted cadre,
Obstinate desperados who without real reason hate;
Theirs rare glories for wanton vitriol by meanest fate
Met on innocent casualties of villainy's vicious adder. 

What grand gratification fills world's cruelest hearts
That sting undeserving souls in most delicate parts? 
Why do allegedly feeling minds grow numbest to cry,
Whilst their pleading victims in iron malevolence die? 

How can life’s most cognitive kind find sweet preys,
In other creatures alike in mien and all visible ways?

Slay The Giant

Hungry minds grow
This is something we need to know
Everybody wants to be at the top
Yet many don’t want to grow while
On their way to the top

The darkness paves the way
Believing in yourself is something you need to say
Life paints an adventure with different shades
The blade of truth
Should remind you that you must not forget to pray

Find a giant and slay it
Let the blazing sun of hope
Illuminate your mind because
Hungry minds grow
This is something we need to know

Premium Member To Slay Life's Dragons

"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson and made me stronger" - Constance La France

              Sometimes I find myself at war 
             With obstacles that life unleash
                 And I enter the battlefield 
              To defeat them, or die trying.
                 I go deep into the trenches
                       To fight all of mine.

               I meet the obstacles head-on... 

                       I fight my way in
           And out of them with faith and grit.
                 When life's dragons come
          Breathing fire and baring their fangs 
                   I unsheathe my sword 
                         And face them.

            I've stared down many mountains...

          Imposing and towering some may be,
            Yet I claw my way to the summit.
                I refuse to let any obstacle 
                 Standing in my way, giant 
                   Or infinitesimally small,
                      Get an upper hand.

           I've felt life's vicious hook on my chin...

          Though knocked flat on the ground,
                I did rise, and I'm still here 
           I don't retreat from the hardships
     Nor surrender to them, neither should you.
                  Slay all of life's dragons
                         Standing tall.

The Slay Mamas

Akuchi is a teacher, 
She's a slay mama.
Bintu is a banker,
She's a slay mama.
Tolani is a trader,
She's a slay mama.
So is Preye,the young woman
who lives by the waterside.
She's  a college student.
These mamas share similiar routines;
Inner linings,check.....
Hair,check....
Nails,check....
Clothes, check....
Shoes,check......
Reasoning,attitude, hard work,
Check,check,check.....
These are women ever on fleek.
Instagram knows them,no doubt.
They make the clock of twitter click.
In the society, 
they are forces to be reckoned with.
Of a truth,the true slay mamas.

To Slay My Demons

I confess through this hole in my chest
that I am less than I wish to be
bullet riddled with this insanity I so am suffering on this long dark path to 
nowhere.
Had it all but lost it all 
my pride that came before the fall
cant dig to get out of this hole
in which I'm drowning
I drink alone but I don't care
I know I'm in the dragon's lair
but I'm here to kill it.

Slay Queen Slays Better

When at night so late 
I put up courage to say hello
And got stocked up waiting 
Hoping you will pick up
But all ended in mistrials

When at night your shyness dictates 
You think walls have ears without hole
Think of online chatting 
A place our distance-difference perfectly hookup
Or you try out redials

When alone with my thought 
All I think of is your how far 
That do sound caring and true
For the share of light in heart
Travels at reach for its spark 

When alone with your lot
The blind crush on your superstar 
Which gets you detained in blue 
Through lust by thrusting smart 
In dark soul reigniting a mark 

On you to slay for play 
With love in laughter to live 
For a course you won't curse 
And steal the gold you hold 
To run your own race of fate 

Beware of your awareness 
In check for possibLe wreck 
Which gives freedom that blossom 
To swallow your grace in shallow 
And bless your beast with a dream feast 

Be sick and do not say 
Had I know, I wouldn't have contrived 
The idea I duly stand to reinforce
With all strategies cajoled to unfold 
For gain and pleasure skillfully collate 

But in the end, you've learned how men display
And how to let better one survived 
As the master of your mind; the one you endorse 
That no other pranks get to remold 
The s you've long gone castrated

For Those of You Who Enjoy Watching a Tiger Slay His Pray

WHOOF!
We are not all chasing our tails in the very same way
We are not all praying for the same thing every day
We are all just hopeful that he or she will come along
And we will find the embrace in which we belong

She’s chasing her tail with cockiness and guile
He’s using his witticisms and cogent smile
Other people use some subliminal style
While that one over there uses her tail to defile

There are people chasing their tails all around
And it’s discouraging not being aware to where you are bound
So we spin in circles getting to a place called “nowhere” with speed
All trying to get the satisfaction from someone else to fill our need

Our needs are invisible inside us but you can still see our tails
And some even resort to lies and deception when all else fails
As for me I’ve stopped chasing my tail and now simply chase peace
and if you ask me the cyber-deception should be sequestered and cease
