Suspended Faults
I felt as small as a winter’s flower yet as tall as an old oak tree the seconds dragged on for what seemed like hours when my world turned in on me the cloak I wore was of little comfort just to bridge between present and past I held onto this and other secrets no more a peasant but a king at...

Premium Member Do The Crime, Do The Time
8/4/2025 Countless individuals have become self willed. Seems each day that passes innocent people are killed. Shootings and stabbings have become the norm. To society’s prescript, many loath to to conform. Perpetrators all receive what we call “due Process.” So they’re given a lawyer who excels at aggress. Because oft times the penalty doesn’t fit the crime. Some are granted pardons precluding doing their time. Many times the perpetrators upon return to the...

Premium Member Crime Does Pay
A man who went to jail for stealing, told the judge: “Your Honor, I hold no grudge: with shelter, food, and clothing, steady work, no debts or owing, a four year college education, health and dental care, and weekend recreation, only a fool would contradict a jury’s so generous verdict. ...

Crime of Sex
They called it short gratification— but I lost my soul in the trade. A moment’s pleasure, for a lifetime of emptiness, a spark that consumed the temple I once was. O Woman, your body is not desire’s playground— it is the chalice of divinity. If you fail to respect your sacred form, no man ever will. Each man you lie with, leaves an imprint upon your soul. And...

My Murder They Call Survival
Three men. Three shadows with human faces, Hands like chains, Voices coated in liquor and cologne — That same cologne still snakes through my chest, Claws at my lungs every time I smell it. They didn’t need chains — They used hands, words, filth. And God? Stood there. Silent. Watched them rip my clothes, Rip the light from my chest, While I begged the sky for mercy That...

The Crime of a Dollar
The wealth of nations was once rooted In toil, in grain, in honest trade. But now—behold the phantom coin, A paper god by empire made. No longer tethered to gold or grace, It floats on faith, or rather fear. A dollar, born of ink and bluff, Commands the world to bend and kneel. This is not free exchange, But a theft dressed in robes...

Pulchritudinous virtual crime pulled off without a cocked hitch
Pulchritudinous virtual crime pulled off without a cocked hitch delivered me back in the dark shadows and the underbelly of the web, where impossible mission to differentiate the outer limits cast by edge of night essentially rendering a twilight zone where obscured criminal activity clear as day in retrospect, versus earlier this month when yours truly gung ho obediently got a...

My Story
My name's ANGIE, are you listening? I grew up listening to that group called Rolling Stones I was told you're wasting your time by dreaming They never knew how harsh they were with those tones.

War Criminals When will there be eternal peace in Europe? When? “This is a good question,” said Satan thoughtfully. There has been war again for years. “Yes. This is the sad reality, “ said my Satan.

All i need is an escape
Who knew you were an ammunition, A camouflage with a malice! I'm still numb from the revelation No matter how much I try I'm afraid that I might risk walking the path that killed all my dreams I'd reinforced spellbound by your lies! I'm locked in your cellar For the crime of conviction In the castle you built And...
