Threatening Boy With Twin Knives

Threatening Boy With Twin Knives

The latest shocking video clip in What'sapp is going viral ....
Featuring an angry little boy facing off his grandparent...
In his hands were a pair of kitchen knives, one in each hand....
He screams in frustrated anger directed at his grandfather...
Standing his ground in a most obstinate manner...
As the old man tries to disarm him with a long bamboo pole frayed at its end...

This is a very extreme case of a family with gadgets and money aplenty...
Electronic gadgets and computer games as baby sitters...
Unlike old times when TV was the live-in maid and baby sitter...
But TV dramas, movies and series are approved for viewing audience...
Unlike all the violence, blood and gore in addictive electronic games....
Seriously, if there is no violence or criminals elements...
No way such  electronic games will have a captive playing audience...
So many games promote senseless slash, gore and kills galore...
Try watching, you will be shocked at trigger happy violence and more...

The electronic human player is denied healthy human interaction that's available ....
Only if they get off their butts to indulge in  physical games with buddies ....

Little wonder these grandparents are confronted with this boy monster ...
Whose character has been digitally altered and social values distorted...
You see the anger inside him, and in the obstinate stance in him...
And the adult folks are left wondering if there is something wrong with him...
Little knowing that the major fault was in how they have raised him..
On a diet of excessive and unfettered access to electronic games .....
That has molded and shaped  his very character into an anti social monster...

Threatening Kobold

Escaping the prose,
  I hid in the verse

My mind to compose,
  instead of converse

Defying description,
  I sang through the notes

And placed my inscriptions,
in lyrical rote

I chose to hear music,
  over reasons again

To dine with the mystics,
  where forever begins

And when forcing my pen,
  back to stories untold

The Muse starts to darken,
—threatening Kobold

To hell in a hand basket, a famous old phrase
Times haven't changed, they're even kookier today
With those at the helm
We're overwhelmed
With threatening rhetoric, things are starting to decay

Ominous

Beware, Christian, rise up, awake; 
listen full well for each mistake.
Deceptive, spirits are opaque. 
Ominous rival, shady snake.

Label yourself by Christ’s own name
Light, Truth and Joy dare to proclaim.
Menacing one will bring you shame,
try to convince you God’s to blame.

What’s really dark appears as bright
wrong appears right and black seems white.
Refining flames you must ignite;
don’t let the devil block your light.

Have you taken God’s name in vain?
Are you a “Christian” for your gain?
Do you waffle, debate, complain?
Temptation can smear your campaign.

Stand firm in faith and gain control
Make truth and peace your first patrol.
Foreboding threats can’t take your soul
Christ’s righteousness, your only goal.

Pray often, pray in the Spirit; 
speak boldly and use God’s toolkit
to brand that snake as the culprit 
Reflect God’s grace, grow in it.

Threatening Desires

Ripped, tattered, uselss wings

Cravings denied, heartless beings

Happiness was finally reached

Then you take her, ecstacy leeched

Gleaming smirks now faded frowns

Two for him, one for me

Loveless hate, can't you see?

Pain prevented, if only you cared

Instead you lash out, weapons bared

Multiple lives you would of saved

If only, if only, you had stayed

Threatening Phone Calls

For two months I've been receiving threatening phone calls.
I haven't done anything to provoke the man, nothing at all.
The Police can't trace the calls because they aren't long enough.
I'm scared out of my wits, the last two months have been rough.
He says that he's going to drag me into an alley and cut my throat from ear to ear.
I look over my shoulder everywhere I go, I'm a man who has been living in fear.
Oh no, he has just arrived on my property with a gun and he says he's going to shoot.
I just shot him with my shotgun, I'll no longer have to live in fear because of that brute.
That Psychopath wanted me dead, that much is clear.
I thank God that I will no longer have to live in fear.

A Threatening Hand

Everyone listened, but nobody talked,
  as the Vicar rode on by

His horse an old swayback, loaded with bibles
  stove hat pointing up toward the sky

Everyone listened, but nobody smiled,
  as the Vicar stormed and raged

“To hell in an instant, to hell you’re all going,”
   bony fingers turning the page

Monday till Saturday they spread their delight
  catch-as-catch-can, then again

But Sunday morning to awaken in fright
 —and face the Vicars threatening hand

Premium Member Old Age

Old age
Threatening near
Wrinkles on forehead
Lines on corners of eye
Netted crosses on cheeks
Plumps of fat
On protruding belly
Double chins
Hanging loose
Shrivelled hands and fingers
Resemble those of a cold blooded animal
Clumsy legs 
Staggering
Sinking eyes
Dimming
Exhausted brain
Confusing
A complicated world
A bleak future
For every oldie 
And it comes only once

Threatening Whispers

I try so hard not to listen,
Yet still I hear their voices, mocking.
A constant stream of threatening whispers,
My sanity was surely rocking.

They told me folk were out to get me,
They told me that I might be dying.
Should I stay or should I flee,
I cowered in the corner, crying.

I locked the doors, pulled the blinds,
Took some pills and went to bed.
Sleep though was not forthcoming,
Too much chatter in my head.

There are days when they are silent,
I pray to God that they have gone.
Just as my mind begins to rest,
Back they come, to babble on.

Thieves stealing and rewriting my work ON this website

To to dummy that has been stealing my work
I have my original work saved on an usb
Stop rewriting and changing titles on my work

They always blame things on hackers, but this is an inside jobs
the truth is the truth,
Its time for this old patriarchial system to die
these covens will be done away with!

Premium Member A Threatening Wonder

Wonderful

And threatening

Those stories

Of wholeness

Appearing

Without the

Solidity and 

Certainty of

You or me..

Which as the

Story goes on

Was never

Not this way..

A threatening

Wonder 

Leaving us

Seemingly

On edge..!!
