Sound, Words, and Other Deaths
The air turned black all around me and the fear truly set in. The darkness is surrounding. Who's to know what lies within? The voices spin, dizzying in my head. They repeat all those words to me. All the words they said are closer than memory. As my blood runs out, the darkness swirls around...

I’ve often danced a dance with death He’s often beat me out of breath. With every step his grip took hold But he got angry as I was bold I scream in pain my body rife And yet I pray for my kids and wife Behold my wish to see them here My family and...

You Can't Die, If You Are Already Dead
The streets are quiet, no waves left to break on the shores of the silent, No blood on the curb to draw the stray dogs. A stray wind blows through the darkest of alley's like you it forgets where it was that you came from. And the boarded up windows watch where it is that you've been. Death doesn't care about...

Births and Deaths
Every day has births and deaths, Not one of them routine, While most of us are dealing with The stuff that comes between. The entries and the exits To and from our varied lives Give no clue to an observer Of who struggles or who thrives. The baby, just emerging, Is a blank, unblemished slate, While the dying must accept that Any change will be too...

Three Deaths and Honey, Please
In the darkness, all birds and bees and all angels here lie asleep. The twinkling stars look down bemoaning my plight, they frown Over the Panther that crawls above As black as night, upon the wall she prowls. Just above my grip, on the sewage pipe, The viper, the villains twisting my plight. Into the list adds the third, My anxieties, awake and...

Deaths Carriage
I pull back the curtains And out I look There lay a carriage, oh yes, I’m certain Suddenly, I hear a knock at my door So the lock I unhook The door i open Standing there, a figure A creature of great lore Grinning, deceptively it hands me a paper and a pen It’s come for...

Premium Member Deaths Last Hour
A burden of sorrow is given to this man. A deluge of hate is on him as he struggles through the sand. Loving eyes he bestows to all, through his pain. Earth's loving life cries with heartbroken rain. The gift of love is given and needs to be broken. A soft, gentle wind blows through...

In the dark ticking of the clock along the ancient walls silence is deafening echoes in the halls the moon glows, cold as its bright moonbeams are sliced into sliver ribbons across the floor sliding across the tattered door nothing stirs all is unmoved a shadow sits nodding, near an archway it lingers as darkness is never complete the fire struggles with its...

No-one can deny that excess deaths are now occurring I don't know what it will take for some to do the research! To see the evidence presented by experts, doctors, nurses, Morticians, witnesses, oncologists, cardiologists, etc. Denial will not help humanity or anyone you care about Crimes against humanity are happening as we speak The earth is shaking from...
