Premium MemberInnocent As Charged

In ‘96, the gavel cracked like thunder,  
Though my hands held no storm.  
A verdict etched in iron,  
For a crime I never formed.  

They saw a shadow—chose me to fit it.  
Three blue uniforms spoke like fate:  
“Take the fall, son.  
This case is bigger than your

The sun bursts through my window
flooding my world my universe.
I'm energized to start my day.
My mind on overdrive
overflows with creativity,
ideas cascade i wish i could keep up

Open those floodgates,
let’s see what happens ~

Betrayal guilty as charged

Betrayal (guilty as charged)...

within mine marriage,
and all the ramifications
that happen therefrom
courtesy the social media platform
of Facebook Messenger,
wherein those subscribing
to an orthodox dogma
may consider said website infernal
(even more despicable
then once upon a time
Old Rotten Gotham
sliding down into the behavioral sink),
where sirens wail their plaintive call
seductively luring and captivating
(courtesy their cam girl schtick)
yours truly just another netizen,

Prickling, my intuition is charged.
I can see what I need to do,
even if I don’t know how;
Some will tell me it’s off,
the way I listen;
Right then I win,
with that old
wildcard 
thrown.

*** In the Dream Foretold *** A Devotion Series Poem

I am getting over paralysis from nerves twisted along my spine.  The agonies are
passing, but not gone, so I am standing, leaning over the kitchen sink; with great effort
I lean, wrapped in old towels while Jim works to dye the gray out of my hair.

Although gainfully unemployed 
(fate now finds me receiving 
social security disability – 
for approximately 
the last baker's dozen years -
the yeast divine intercession 
rose to the occasion), 
I can still vividly visualize 
utter despair during 
early and emerging adulthood.

The following synopsis
wrought, impressed, crafted...

Fully Charged

A mind realized that it had become
itself, a self
that had been molded by fractured hands
yet somehow
by the grace of time
had now become itself.

This self was both a shop-window and a mannikin,
yet even though it was a cut-out
of certain carefully crafted characteristics of an imaged reality,
it knew it was,

and
that is the difference
between one who sleep-walks an

Keep your morning informed 
With a piece of newspaper
Stay connected with the rest of the world
Besides your small confined self-centred world
Stay up-to-date with 
The critical news
The breaking news
The latest news
The in-depth reports
Like dropping a bombshell into a dull world
But news can't simply be surfaced
Without evidence of a witness 
Or some physical proofs
Or else it will

Never doubt the availability
          When looking for culpability
The guilty never wish to admit
         They are, indeed, the culprit.

This is an age old story
it could be a country song.
Some may find it enchanting
while others say it’s wrong.

I like home automation
and the feeling of control
the response to simple voice
commands seems to satisfy my soul.

I got into it slowly
but it soon got out of hand
when on a cold black-Friday
I bought an automated man.

His physique wasn’t

Guilty As Charged

A heart of dark sentiments!
What did my dark periscope see?
A misogynistic judge presiding over a case;
An interesting case of 
A woman who reneged midway on a pact.

I was but a witness lest you be curious
Why I stood so still.
Prior, I saw her mixing the colours of abuse;
A sweetheart's leprous weapon of bitterness
Enshrined in a soul

Premium MemberGuilty Under the Word Charged

I have read an article today
an eye opener not even surprised remotely 
where the minister of justice
running to a meeting hard pressed
has cast vote, on and behalf of another fraud member

Admitting being part of a rigging system
where a person can be two places at one time
treason is the highest ranked form of betrayal
illegal moves spoken

I pulled in late one night from off the pike,
          A manor rumored haunted, yet it seemed
               As clean and bright as any hotel deemed,
     So worthy of
