Land To Sea

seas engulf coastlines
salt decimates fertile soils~
farmers to fishers

Of Blind Cocks

Of blind cocks 
that crow at dawn
Dyeing, drying on 
the thorns of humanity
The Blood of non-creation 
and criterion of a nation insane
Inhumane and decimates 
to the red strains of Children’s games
Glory and praise the 
ascensions of one
The sum of masculinities abortion
The burnt image 
of the aftermath.
Go and see 
the walls of None
The tribunal of dung
Crown the one-eye worms 
Anointed in rotted empires 
Furies scurry and bury the thoughts
Of lace and grace the masses of fame and shame
The brutal pyre of human’s creed, 
the immune one
The dyeing, 
drying of the horns of cruel black sons
The burn of dark hands 
The blood of divinity 
The nation 
Is at war with profanity.
Sanity 
What is humanity?

Atonement

Atonement


                        Words laden with regrets spilled over profusely
                        Regurgitating blobs of ancient narcissistic deed
                        Awaken realization for vanity obfuscates reality
                        Enchanted by the force of hallucinogenic greed


                        To gyrations life dances oblivious towards time
                        Sparks amidst a storm ignites portentous skies
                        As Earth navigates apathy decimates the clime
                        Incredulous eyes evokes counsel from the wise


                         When youth ebbs spider webs embellish a face
                         Engrained memories from yesteryear reappear
                         The future herald adversities he must embrace
                         Bestowed clemency atonement overpower fear

Black Swan Effect

Black swan effect, crisis precipitates
Leaving the faint of heart, totally wrecked
Save brave hearts, who in stillness meditate
Our fall into the abyss, goes unchecked

All that matters now, is we stand erect
Boldly facing, whatever be our fate
Theory of randomness, not perfect
Black swan effect, crisis precipitates

Knowing time and tide, for no man does wait
Through adversity we gain self-respect 
Prayer steeling resolve, till storm abates
Leaving the faint of heart, totally wrecked

Upon earth, as both subject and object
Most succumb to desires; ego borne bait
We are not mind body; fact who’d suspect
Save brave hearts, who in stillness meditate

Deep dark fear, our confidence decimates
Self-imposed delusion, our soul infects
Dwelling in self-pity and thoughts unchaste 
Our fall into the abyss, goes unchecked

Oh hermit, ceasing grasping, now connect 
To the pulse of love, joyfully gyrate
Let this world of transience have no affect
With fortitude and patience, just out-wait
Black swan effect

Famine Starvation

Scary than  the fear,
               further devastating than  the weakness,
               is hunger ...
               With its insatiable voracity
               everything decimates, everything devours,
               consumes, eats ...

Silent Mist

(fresh ink for my friend leanne)

Silent mist
within the night
what is this
sorrow
what is this
sight?

Ancient ruler
creeping
seeping into
the trees
slowly spreading
foul disease.

I am the
dreaded necromancer
of a
woeful gloom
creator and catalyst
of a
heinous doom.

Pewter powder
hellish gore
my poison
decimates
the forest floor.

I bring my shadows
from the deep
to imprison all
within my keep
to suffer
an eternal
insufferable sleep.

I Felt Fear

When I was four, I  recall the day my Mum taught me how to make a whistle; it was the same day Dad came home from the war, angry, drunk, and upset with the world. We met for the first time that day, and that memory still haunts me, for it was also the first time I felt fear. For a stranger, who claimed to be my father, beat me, my mother, and my sisters for no reason other than he could.


fathers beat their sons
war is a fickle mistress ~
fear decimates love

Let the Sword Remain Sheathed

Eruption of blazing emotion from the volcano of anger,
chars innocent minds, you’re burnt by the lava of remorse.
Spoken word of wrath, the sharpest double-edged sword,
one side decimates your opponent, the other severs your soul.

Deep desires unfulfilled, morph to the deadliest of hates,
you’re in labyrinth of apathy, chased by demon of your shadow.
The radicalized mind rides the mad horse of revenge,
violence destroys illusion, the failed victor becomes the victim.

Let the sword remain sheathed, tame beasts of hate and anger,
wield heart’s magic wand, win battles with love and compassion.

Think Before You Speak

Think Before You Speak
Written: by Tom Wright
7/25/03

Contumelious words sully the heart,
And from tongue they spew so sour.
But mellifluous words from their start,
Decimates speech with their power.

Ashes Afterlife

Ash's afterlife, another elliptical  ride behind the climb. 
A course of strife, cursed by the past, forward in time. 
The wanderer of worlds step aside the tracks onto paths laid over tombs, 
Malevolent and  malformed,  misconstrued by literature words consumed. 
Daylight that's not bright it's more like night without the empty space, 
Moon bright is more likely to shroud facial features cast still in it`s place. 
Grounded in roots, the symmetry decimates everything in chaos and in torment. 
Laid out on the coals, a pure burn inside the mind that cannot awaken up the dormant. 
Overlapped, nailed below the floor, wood barrier for the corpse'o. 
Strike down the angel arc in lightning karma fire towards the torso. 
And still I hate your face as well as your ways, 
As before and afterward and eternal and always. 
You disgusting being I daydream you misery.

In the Silence

in the silence
of the night
when no one is awake
the loneliness 
is deafening
and the clock stands still
at times like this
we think death may come
and take away the weak 
but we know better
death is much sneakier
stealth robbing cradles
and many not ready
merciless it decimates
ruthless and unmerciful

Blasting the Quarry

Ashes afterlife, another elliptical ride behind the climb,
A course of strife, cursed by the past forward in time.
The wanderer of worlds step beside the tracks onto paths laid over tombs,
Malevolent, malformed, misconstrued by literature, words consumed.
Daylight is not bright, it's more like night with out the empty space,
Moon bright is more likely to shroud facial features cast still in their place.
Grounded in roots ashes afterlife, another elliptical ride behind the climb,
A course of strife, cursed by the past forward in time.
The wanderer of worlds step beside the tracks onto paths laid over tombs,
Malevolent, malformed, misconstrued by literature, words consumed.
Daylight is not bright, it's more like night without the empty space,
Moon bright is more likely to shroud facial features cast still in place.
Grounded in roots, symmetry decimates everything in chaos and torment,
Annihilated by thee elder ancient that awaken and no longer dormant. 
I still hate your face as well as your ways,
As before and afterwards, eternal and always.
You disgusting being, I daydream you misery.  decimates everything in chaos and torment..

Humanitarian

The last incentive, souls be found
in large, monopolizing's wait
wrong's closeness, jeopardizing sound
and even breath ways lose relate.

That joint remorse, my neighbor's frowned
to but cause worry, replicate
my higher level, hope's astound
is bartered down to captivate.

The slavery of unholy bound
does figure out its own remorse,
tries chastity with futile ground
its smallness building ~ decimates.

The nothingness content to scowl
and act important, underrate
intimidation's constant growl
the ego maniac's known gate!

Were greatness but from Faith's relate
or known assumptions caustic sown
must change my method, contemplate
and leave my brother's curse alone!

Oh God, but center my ingrate
to prayers console, restoring tone
loss' need do reconcile abate
to gather measures truth consoles!

The all of mercy, healing's fate
is in our own hands, carry's hone
lives driven to the edge, full weight
must lift together ~ to bring home ~

the love God gave us . . . . as His own!

Sound

The air encapsulating sound
extremes, while vision gathering quites down
and carries with it stillness to surround.

Does channel imposition to dismay,
the sound, my enemy thus often in convey
sounds first ~ I hide discretely out of way!

Would escalate by choice or lessen ground,
the stance I take, my hearing so abound,
by reason decimates my hostile round!

Repeating hurt, the syndrome so applied,
as deaf to spacious loitering's retried
seek truth and justice' answer in confide!

Sound implements my virtue, or derides ~
so quiet is . . . . the instrument I chide!
