Creepy Crawlers
Most the things that mostly crawl
Mostly cost the most of all
Like crabs and snails and lobster claw
Pray the day that prices fall

Smelling Night Crawlers
After the rain I started to smell them
They have a distinct odor, not a fragrance
I had to walk carefully, as to not squash them
They were squirming on the sidewalk and in the grass
Night crawlers, giving me nightmares some nights

Creepy Crawlers
Summer conjures up barbeques and picnics,
including camping and dogs fetching sticks.
And pitching tents, sharing the ground with slugs,
centipedes, and other assorted bugs.
As twilight wains, female mosquitoes thirst
for blood, vying for who will bite you first.
And at sunset, as evening breezes warm,
clouds of annoying gnats begin to swarm.
Ebony skies ignite flashing fireflies,
blinking in and out

Creepy Crawlers
Existing here in the oblivion
Hollow is it's core

Bodies passing

Of Dr Jekyll an Mr Hyde played out
Is this what their life is all about
Our Essence is filled with Light
Strength beams from Our Core
Hands that are Strong
A Will that is Determined

Mosque Crawlers
CIA & the NYPD’s got a thing for hassling those who
get down on their knees to “pray” to one kind of
fiction, as opposed to another---
in Jersey,
they got a way of always being around when
Jersey muslims are trying to dwell in a specific delusion
on their own, whilst good ol’ christians get nothing of the
sort---
saying that
