-Awakening In The Lions Den-
Sinking fangs into the flesh of mortality and being reborn without limitation.
Limitless precedence. Cultivated in the shadows like a noose in a wardrobe.
The lions out at play, whilst the queen tries to demoralize liberty.
The altar of loops in the midst of reincarnation. Reach for the stars, find only melancholy.
Gaze upon the winds of time and listen to the siren’s lustrous radiance.
Men can be driven mad and fall ill to the depths after going overboard. Never to return to their purity, soon to be forgotten.
Take heed, for the days grow longer and the nights never end.
Purgatory, the treasure trove of any broken man’s inheritance.
The decadent crown remains so, drifting through the river of Styx.
Dark black ominous clouds move slowly across the mortal sphere.
A promising downpour threatens the unrest souls.
Thunderous voices of indigenous cultural split the mortal sphere.
This brooding storm, created from fallacies that suffocated the truth.
Forceful winds of propaganda demoralize the virtuous.
Fierce lighting reveals the shamelessness of the dark heart.
What seems to matter will matter no more, once the crimson rainfalls and
swell the rivers and seas and stain the shores.
Soon will be done the troubles of this world.

Alluring sunshine intrudes each crack and crevasse heart possessed,
Galvanized warmth within the veins of uncharted territories flow,
Debacle through delusion of tenderness and safety repressed,
Endear so the light as demoralize be the shadow,
Reversal of sunshine bliss to swallow as disloyalty is confessed,
Liars and cheats impersonating as igniting lovers tiptoe.

Curtains and Venetian blinds
Or shades of any kind
Block out the sunshine, sometimes
Leaving only gloom behind.
Of course, they offer privacy
To keep out prying eyes
But when they’re shut, they might,
To those inside, demoralize.
In daytime, I want all the light
It’s possible to bring
To fill the rooms where I reside
And shine on everything.
I understand at nighttime,
When some coziness holds sway,
People like to draw their curtains
But I never will, by day.
a song for the world
if you whisper you love me
let the world know tomorrow
today the world cannot hear
its been dealing with much sorrow.
lives have been destroyed and lost
evils of nature has no safety net
sins of mankind strike and kill the innocent
without remorse for human rights.
the world is stifled and chokes from the smoke
our children cry who bear no arms
and become demoralize about humanity
suffering, living within the hellfire.
they will not know what its like
to hear someone tell them they are loved
tomorrow would be good to tell them
and tell me too when you sing the song
‘what the world needs now”
Overanalyze and criticize, demoralize and ostracize
Modern pundits legitimize their vicious exercise
Scrutinize and standardize, compartmentalize and cannibalize
Wizards of efficiency synchronize, initialize and circumcise
Demobilize and paralyze, stigmatize and de-humanize
Westernized pols, their constituents balkanize and polarize
Trivialize and miniaturize, standardize and sterilize
Thought-police priesthoods evangelize and moralize
Why can't they fraternize and socialize?
Why don't they harmonize and compromise?

This year, sleeping spring refuses to rise
too long overdue but not a surprise
as the weak sun hidden in thick cloud lies
masked by stubborn mists in leaden grey skies
with temperatures way below normal highs
Lack of sunshine and warmth can jeopardize
crop growing and a good harvest denies
Persistent rain leads to insect demise
essential bees drowned and no butterflies
to help fruit and flowers to fertilize
It’s difficult to overemphasize
the full impact a delayed spring implies
or the effects on mood trivialize
Lack of sun makes depression demoralize
many folks and others traumatize
Often, the thing to do is recognize
defeat and climb aboard a plane that flies
off to a land that sees the sun arise
and soak up UV rays (perhaps unwise
transformed to a mummy when parched skin dries)
It probably won’t matter
Whatever I say you crush
The know-it-all refuses to listen
The conceit of a fool is so rigid
Unable to admit your arrogance
Positive advice is sound
Not attacking one’s ego
It’s acceptable to be uninformed
An open mind recognizes intent
God is the only know-it-all being
Declare your validations
Excuses all heard before
Nobody compares to your intellect
You already know whatever I say
Self legendary opinion means fool
I desire the best for you
No sense to demoralize
I’m not insulting your intelligence
There’s no call for rationalizations
Nor arguments to my interventions
Our connection I lavish
Listen, accept direction

Women who stay have dog love.
Beat me.
Kick me.
Demoralize me and my children.
Put me down.
Call me names.
I will love you no matter what.
Women who stay are waiting to recapture
The love that was,
and hold onto the
What still might be
He didn't mean it.
It was only once.
He's a good guy.
Women who stay have dog love.
Their abusers depend on it.
Stay all you want, women,
But could you please
send out the children?
All day long
Disturbances disturb humans
All day long
Perturbations perturb humans
All day long
Differences demoralize humans
All day long
Obstacles operate humans
All day long
Efforts affect humans
All day long
Situations prevent humans
All day long
Defects diminish humans
All day long
Dangers hover over humans
All day long
Routes mislead humans
All day long
Insipidity inspires humans
all day long
Idiocy guides humans
All day long
Humans suffer from humans
All day long
Humans do not live as humans

What a demonic way to demoralize?
When a player's most prestigious prize
is the pure pie between tender thighs...
these seeds are not for fools to fertilize.
What a lascivious way to liberalize?
When girls use skimpy skirts to advertise
their wares for freaky flirts to fantasize...
You are taunting them to tantalize.
What a gruesome way to galvanize?
When milky mounts become merchandise
for poor pedestrians to patronize...
their tools get tempted to terrorize.
What a marvelous way to mordernize?
when sisters learn to sensibly socialize,
and men's tools are trained to tranquilize...
sunflowers and butterflies will fraternize.
OTHER TERRITORY
" My heart was in feathers of ethics taught ,
Your smile prevailed it over to demoralize my clans .
The other territory man,
I knew the spell of grand love you've put me into,
But these irons of power are what am clinched into.
No ruler as fine could ever love me like that.
This is so much of me,
But the sadism is true,
When never on knees I grew,
swords to save many
But I'll never kill you.
As you love her,
but I still love you. "

Curse words are used by the educated and the ignorant without shame,
and they often appear in lyrics and movies;
what's the scope to divulge such obscenities?
On buses, trains and other public places mouths shout them with rage.
Most parents blame their kids' behavior on bad company,
they admit that if they are taught respect early, they will be the champions
that our society will praise immensely with eloquent words;
some will question, " What have they accomplished to have won a trophy? "
Speak respectfully whether you are a Moslim, Jewish or Christian;
be the model that they should highly admire and imitate by all means,
to be lenient and allow them to cuss is to offer them a venom that kills....
don't hush and let them abuse and demoralize you: fight and win!

You beat me down
Then praised me up
Destroyed my ego
while filling my cup
Left me cold in the pouring rain
Pretended to identify with my pain
This vicious cycle got old real fast
You’re not my present and I have erased my past
For I have grown, no longer a child
That you can take advantage of or defile.
Didn’t you know that ashes eventually blow away?
Didn’t you know that the winter would become spring someday?
I am now as sharp as those razor blades
You used to demoralize and invade
I am now a queen, my God my king
And in his palace I am capable of mighty things
In this land vindication he will bring.
