Low Emission zone disinformation..Is a factor on sinage
Thats the situation.' First a magistrate in Bedford flagged
Not fine, these signs that have ruined life for many.' Also
Wasted so much time.' Yesterday Noel Wilcox, Royally won'
At the so named courts in London judgement on veracity I
See it had to come.' So now if you've been hit no matter
Where you are from.' You can obtain a refund, maybe to
Spend on having fun? Like driving to London.' Just to see
The sights.? Oh and I do hope we are soon rid of all that
That extra metal signage.' Thats really an unsightly blight !

Premium Member To Cheat Death

The politician cheats us 
During canvassing
With a super mask
Some sweet words 
And many smart promises
Before canvassing 
We're are always in the right
After election 
We're always in the wrong
He betrays us instead
He cheats
People bury the hatred in the hearts
And curse
But I believe
We won't  have the power
But
He can't cheat death
He can't cheat fate
He can't cheat God
But
It'll  be a long long way to go
Before our sufferings end

Mouth Betrays


Have you ever met serial "slipper,
makes one uncomfortable with the slip
of his tongue; it is so embarrassing.
For someone it's a slur, no more a quip.

Why people betrayed by their mouths with slip?
To stop this none discovered medicine.
People say between two to six words per
second with one's talk that's irrelevant.

Using wrong word creates embarrassment
cause "reveals secret desire forbidden
by society or self", Studies say.
Unconscious wishes win, what kept hidden.

Before mind goes to censor mode, hidden
thought blurts, can't resist to slips, studies say.

Premium Member The Tongue Betrays the Heart

The Tongue Betrays The Heart
Written: by Miracle Man
5/22/2020

A man can call himself whatever he desires,
and promote his narrative as he thinks it requires.
Countless times, the truth, he doesn’t disclose,
but his actions will always his inner heart expose.
So his witness is determined by his daily talk,
and talk determines, how others view his walk.
His existence is often fettered, by unseen chains,
and praise is seldom whispered over his remains.


Matthew 12:34 King James Version
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Beauty Betrays

Beauty Betrays

When the sight is real, the being is real
 In the midst of all, what a beauty to behold
A combination of qualities that compel unending gaze
It defines the pleasure of the senses

Safes and codes have been broken by the enchantress
The system coordinates have seen the light of day
We glitter, we smile and we pursue
It is said, it is worth pursuing, therefore we pursue

A narrow road we have never tread upon
As beauty leads we trust in the formation played
The artistry of this beauty is magnificent
How do we conquer the feelings that push us?
We are in a realm that is so real

Morning and noon is here, we are filled with confidence
We are struck to the bone by beauty
Darkness is soon approaching, how can beauty be tested in the dark?
Here in the dark, we realized it was robbery
Character is a friend of beauty.
Beauty Betrays.

My Body Betrays Me

There are nights where my body 
Is turned into stone; my body 
Betrays me once again

The monsters in the shadows
Crowd until they hover 
Forming your face again
Just like the first time,
I can’t scream
My body betrays me

And it hurts; just like the 
First time it happened 
I’m unable to move, my 
Traitorous body aches 
And all I hear is your 
Voice, telling me to take it

And my body still betrays me.

Nature Betrays Not the Heart

In the responsibility granted man 
as fickle as he is foul 
wheeling and dealing with mother earth 
he'll take all that he's allowed 

Raping the land of every grain of sand 
and nutrition to serve his purpose 
she stands in hope that one day he may know 
that none of it was worth it 

But when you are the disease 
who can you turn to for the cure 
remember please wise words such as these 
nature never did betray the heart that loved her




A quote from William Woodsworth I added to.
The last and most beautiful line is his.

When Your Body Betrays You

When your body betrays you 
For many years we’ve been as one
The mind, body and soul
But as of late we’re separate
Each one of us damaged and down

Betrayed we are by our own selves
The mind to process agony
The body’s been dealt fierce and vicious harm
From a foe invisible yet violent all the same

The body has endured the pain 
The soul has felt it too
So deep the hurt the body screams
in tears it pours, resolution gone

lastly where the soul has fallen
begging on bended knee
pray the torture go away
Dystonia be it’s name

While Betrays Awake

Idiot unknown plots.
While betrays awake.
Guard waiting paths crossed times.
