Malakar’s Calamity
upon his tower dark and tall malakar stood to doom them all with lightning flashing, cape unfurled he cackled, "Now I rule the world!" he pulled the lever, struck a pose but fate, unkind, had other woes for with a snap, the lever broke and hit his minion (Grubnuk croaked) his robots sparked, began to dance one juggled fire—badly, perchance another whirred, then high-fived air while...

The Poison I Crave
I live in this continuum, Where I sit, I scroll, I rot. This blissful poison hypnotizes me in, An artifice far deadlier than I thought. It promises me sweet lies, Feeding on the pith of my mind. I grow my own nicotine, A toxin that turns me blind. Stronger than any drug it seems, It drags me out of reality. I escape to the realms...

The Storm Comes at Midnight
The storm comes at midnight It will be quite a sight if I’m right Preceding it barely a sight will make many angry and scared The sight could be anything … Ha! Yes, even to those prepared … You seem confused, let me explain Lightning will flash in the sky Which likely will be the revealing of a terrible lie But truly it will...

CALAMITY
I didn't compare Neither did I compete I'm always in my lane Yet they're always against me Steadily plotting my ruin Just to humiliate and rule over me. Steadily, they attack My self confidence Trying to tame or break me Steadily them be bullying Giving me all sort of names Trying to shame me They ain't my maker So I'm unshakeable and unbreakable. My...

Vincent Van Gogh
His life came to a ruinous end Plummeted into insanity The red-bearded painter With his self-hatred, despair and desperation for understanding He drank yellow paint thinking it would make him happy Locked up in a mental asylum that would shatter any person’s self-belief Deceived Vincent cut his earlobe in an unforeseen calamity But he channelled the awful torment into...

Repetition of irremediable calamity
#Repetition_of_irremediable_calamity Stare the dark gloomed space of shooting casanovas, blurred with shades of karma, coated with deja vu, I was here the mind says, my hands mired with more dirt, contaminating my hard work and effort to never to pass through this hind streets of lingering pain and regrets, a rotational oozing of ghostlike tormenting shadows...

So Called Calamity
I hide from my demons but they walk through the halls Of my mind and my soul and the reality that falls I drown myself hoping that they can't follow me But there's nothing I can do so that they can't see What was stolen from me can never be returned Fractured my spirit, it's liberty was burned Everywhere I go...

Calamity Jane
A voice from a woman that has emotional depth and concern for humanity is often shunned through strong arming of sources to discredit her psychological state. If you steal from a children’s cancer research foundation, and laugh about grabbing women by the pussies then how will humanity survive? The democratic state of America has been burned and...

Calamity
Earth's final day came unexpected It wasn't heralded, nor was it detected The skies suddenly bled with starry rain And everything living started to feel pain. All lands and crops begun to decay Then human flesh rotted and grayed As planes from our skies started to fall The feeling of horror dawned on us all. Every believer begged their gods, lost Looking for answers...

Premium Member Clamorous Calamity
Calmoruus calamity Calm, in feather doona encumbered, slept soundly. Even the stars twinkled in hushed, squelched, muted tones. Silence reigned in solemnity, in peace. All of a sudden the deafening din of cacophonic hard rock shrill rattled the rafters, jolted the sleepers starkly to upright awake. I ran into the living room with hands covering my ears. The wee little 'Nest' device, throbbing there next to the rumbling...

Calamity
He slept in the bath when he was drunk Slept so long he went and shrunk Down down down to such a size He couldn’t be seen by human eyes His wife saw the bath and with a shrug Slipped in one arm and pulled the plug She didn’t do it with any intent But down the drain he silently went He’d never...

The Earth Was Turning In Her Sleep
A hurricane tore North Carolina After ripping Haiti! It stalks like a hyena, Leaving a trail of calamity! I, The Earth, was turning in my sleep. Humans live for seventy years. Some build in areas that are deep Or somehow interfere with my affairs. May 8, 2022 the...
