Prisoner of the enigmatic sea,
standing alone upon the rocky shore.
Once it illuminated the horizons,
now abandoned, it watches as waves roar.
Powerful winds influence the current,
as the atmosphere perspires salty air.
In conjunction the ocean joins the storm,
raging tides dance with malevolent flair.
Tempest terrorizes with wild fury,
flooding lands, demolishing weak buildings.
Animals suffer with fishermen lost,
storm leaves behind an aftermath of killings.
Standing tall through this barbaric onslaught,
unscathed the lighthouse combated all harm.
Replaced by modern day technology,
deserted, forgotten but not lost its charm.

Son of a soldier lost his friendship ties
From thousands of miles for crunchy fries
Gun toys replaced the ones that he had lost
Talking twister of blended foreign frost
In the arms of almighty God
His dad combated the last blood
Son of a soldier connoted a coyote
Colloquated heroes poetic lyrics note
White flagged exorbitant West wild
Son of a soldier thought he was a child
Born by origin and modern nomadic loffe
Son of a soldier sailed the word of Santa Fe

Ghosts, Hosts’ with the mostest
In the House of the dead, Ghost's roam their home they once lived before becoming spirits.
Crickets serenaded near their catacomb; Tree's creek buried deep in loam from the breeze.
Serving Cores light and blue cheese balls to Fairies visiting from the mores.
A Burmese python chasing mice on the splintering wooden floor.
Gargoyle's crash through a trap door causing an uproar as witches with big sores riding brooms zoom down the fireplace.
Unicorns give chase to Gryphon wearing lace around their chins.
A Golem and an Ogre sit quietly talking to one another giving off a stomach-churning odor.
Centaurs fought a banshee shrieking so loudly cracked a marble column.
Gnomes decided to make this place their home with the phoenix in the attic away from the combated Leprechauns living near their garden dome.
The host Ghosts bring out the last of the wine and served pickled swine having a fun time their orbs twinkling like disco balls down the halls.

Hot pancakes in the thick of things;
Wet cement hardening in the thick of things;
Hot fudge sundae chocolate sticks to ice cream;
in the thick of things;
In a combated war zone surrounded;
in the thick of things?/

Nobody can change childhood, it's impossible
Children should feel safe in their own home, unstoppable
Tear down fear, shame, guilt, sorrow, anger and bitterness
Much hurts and must be combated, a hunt for happiness
Free me from tears and pain of mind and soul
When heart breaks and then heals, set the goal ...

Rainbow flags and Pride
are slim protection against
hate and machine guns.
[May the deceased rest in peace and the injured and bereaved have swift recoveries. This hatred must be better combated, or be better managed by those supposed to be protecting us. This could have happened to anyone. Groups that influence losers in society should be better monitored, both here and abroad.]

The hearts of the young seek all sin.
Pureness from birth, turns to hatred
Guidance is combated with strength
They wish for nothing but revenge.
Adolescents compete with old,
The hearts of the young seek all sin.
When the future lies in their hands,
One cannot prevent the terror.
All that which lies ahead is doomed
This generation has anger
The hearts of the young seek all sin.
In a world crammed with war and hate.
Self-destruction reigns absolute
During the course of today’s age
One must fear future above past
The hearts of the young seek all sin.
