SMILING MONSTER

The earth shakes; rivers are drying, air whispering tears;
Trees are afraid of standing outside, as warplanes hovering.

in the chambers of one’s heart 
tales of comfort meander through pulsing veins 
putting roots down in the solid foundations 
where echoes of love mirror recalled events

I went for a drive along the winding
country roads of Virginia today. 
I was surprised at what I saw. 
The ghosts of American heroes
lingered everywhere I went.

Underneath a bright blue sky
I saw slaves working the fields.
Dust caught in a slight breeze

Whether the work-load is manual or high-tech exercises;

To aerate, babble and procrastinate
decluttering man cave rubbish
welcoming this temperate
(Billy me) idle March thirtieth
tooth house sand nineteen

razed forest mongers left blemish -

He was born a prince in a dungeon 
targeted and hunted by evil huntrs

A new king over Egypt then arose,
Joseph's esteem, no longer of record.
He said, "Behold, Israel has grown large;
They are too numerous to be ignored."

"Come now, we need to deal shrewdly with this,
Lest they increase, with our enemies band,
Before war breaks out, and we are out-manned,
Fight...
