Miley Rush?
Too know
There's billie

How little the type sets fed
Mister
Begin behind him, as?

I
   Took awhile
To lose change
      In me
Buy mine

     Pay in attentive
  A hearing
       Over
Over me


I'm kind at the bottom
       Of her lines
he's only said
         article
by hanging his head down




Here is hear
In our life
Elizabeth Warren and Robert Kennedy
Servants of ours
Free speech is obstructed
By all in lobby
Counterfeiting article of Senate resolution
Blinding press powers the fold of peace

Peace Over War

PEACE OVER WAR

What do they gain those who blindly rule?
Leaders of nations, countries and the world
Leading to bleeding sliding peace’s feeling

Encouraging hostility for their foolish raging
Destroying humanity to keep their reign
Choosing war over peace for people to drain

Smoke of weapons to the skies for an acid rain
No trees to grow even the sowed grain
Lives as a cost with nothing to gain

Counterfeiting liberty with unstoppable atrocity
Child loosing mother, mainstay leaving their family
Hospitals and graves becoming the best vicinity

So, let this poetry be for the leaders to lead for harmony
For there is no victory in war except misery
To lead for peace rewriting the sorrowful history!

Requiem For a Wish

She desperately wanted to love.
Expending  Aprils in the dark without the sunshine  of holding hands to the sunset and beyond ...
Without sweet whispers of belonging , 
without the soft calling of a lovers voice . 
She wanted to discover the joyful mystery behind those 
tender fluffy kisses . 
The anxiety of insects overflying by one’s soul.
But she didn’t calculate that there were many kinds of love 
that love for some was just a word ,
and all she got was a counterfeiting kind of lust. 
The one that squeezes the intimacy of a gentle soul ,
and doesn’t stop until it dries it all.
The one that dresses as the sweetest flower ,
to trick a bee into the deepest hole .
The one that makes you fall.
The one that’s made of stone .
The one that freezes you once there are no more endearing lying words .
The swift one that leaves once all the honey is gone .


Guide Words For Living

It is sickening to grow flowers
       of suffered memories ...
      Collect swoops from
       cataloged failures ...
       It is pernicious in everything put
       our brand counterfeiting
       shallow feelings ...
       giving due to obvious indifference ...
       We can not foretell the harm that is caused
        in simulacrum that are so
        real in unreality ...
        Confusing simulations
        reality sane by insanity ...
        Even in pain ... let us live
        instead... !

Crowning him king of jolly old, would be befitting

The Burial Funeral

So oft I'd heard its soul intent
the performed center, not rebound
could bury once and then compound
the years between, cycle's renown!

Now given over to the Earth
no search or wandering can contain
the final call, summized in worth
and vestige given, subtle gain!

What final makepiece can entail
a journey's fare or life's enslave,
does hold in bondage, fortune's quake
and guesswork yonder not remake!

Conditions squander for the take,
the spirit of coward's, sentiments fake
for counterfeiting sameness sake
relying on its own uptake!

And tears can last beyond the grave
arrangements scattering the poise
a lifelong treasure, so denounce
all moments contrary or brave!

My footsteps falter, not held up
by urgings from all else, so mean
this only once, my saving's cup
respect my feelings with esteem!

Oh, childish pondering, to and fro
so wasted, while the dead lie still,
a life too soon has gone to flow
some spot eternity will fill!


Incriminating Love

Poor, leased heart agreeing to a blind date
With malice aforethought you bartered the rate
Twas not petty theft my reason to sift
But treasonous plot my passion to shift
Trite misdemeanor to coyly my fallen spirit lift
Felonious assault my tendered soul to rift
Friendly interest, floated my sinking dreams on your balmy skiff
Accessory to heartache, allowing my fleeting hopes to drift
A bended ear feigning with my liabilities to relate
Lecherous charmer embezzling my allegiance, endearing my fate
Ceremoniously following decorum, my good graces to satiate
Callously counterfeiting my honor, your own ego to ingratiate

Thief of Words

With practised ease he scans the page
absorbing all he reads
objectifying everything
assimilating needs.
Redistributed word and line
subliminally home grown
presented as original
reference unknown.
The metal of another forge
he promotes as fire grown
this counterfeiting wordsmith
without anvil of his own.
Displaying mediocre wares 
he prostitutes the art
successful in his larceny
oblivious to heart.
For words are words
 and lines are lines
the plagiarist can’t see
the life expended searching for
originality.
