Destructiveness Poems

Premium MemberThe Cries of Suppression

The cries of suppression will never cease,
	a selective crowd of bitterness.
	The suffering voices each day increase.
The cries of suppression will never cease.	
        Seeking justice from the claws of the beast.
        Claiming their freedom from the wilderness.
The cries of suppression will never cease,
	a selective crowd of bitterness.

The cries of suppression will never cease,	
        seeking justice from the claws of the beast.
        The suffering voices each day increase.
        A selective crowd of bitterness,
        claiming their freedom from the wilderness,
        an escape from hatred’s destructiveness.

Pandemic


                                 Amid stillness surreptitiously lurk

                                 harbingers of unforeseen gloom

                                 Dispassionately subjugating human

                                 fragility and infantile neurosis

                                 Most defy the culprit others deny

                                 while withered flesh face doom

                                 Naysayers need gape shut eyes

                                 then amend their destructiveness

Premium MemberObedience

Here am I striving to obey* the Spirit’s guidance
Despite my frailty upon righteous stance
While subduing carnality’s endurance…
Help me, my God, as I depend on Your mighty performance.

Here am I persevering to follow Bible’s instruction
Denouncing every foolishness and perversion
As I abide in God along His wise prescription…
Help me, my God in standing upon heavenly conviction.

Here am I trying to please my Master by faith’s steadfastness 
Smiting guilt of iniquities with its destructiveness
I need to Him first and His righteousness…
Help me, my God, prevail against wickedness.

Here am I praying for the rescue of the lost from hell’s fury 
Clinging to God along His truth’s sure victory
Subduing the Devil against transgression-sown misery…
Help me, my God, abound in Your service-territory.

*Deuteronomy 13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

Premium MemberLord, Help Us Serve You

Lord, thank You for saving us from hell
By Your redemption-grace* excelling compassionately well.
Help us serve You, winning others as the Gospel wondrously tell
So that in heaven they can surely dwell!

Lord, thank You for rescuing our souls from the lake of fire
By Your forgiveness-love, fulfilling the perfect sacrifice You did require.
Help us serve You, warning others about penalty of sin’s mire
So that godly repentance they can sincerely desire!

Lord, thank You for sanctifying our nature from filthiness
By Your regeneration-mercy, vanquishing spiritual death's destructiveness.
Help us serve You, teaching others Your Word amidst worldliness
So that they can ultimately submit to Your righteousness!

*Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.

Hey You

Hey you!
Look over here,
Can you see my soulless shadow standing over there.
The corner of hell seems to be getting hotter.
I've asked for water,
but no one can hear my cries, 
I'm dying of thirst with every second that goes by.
Hey you!
over in the corner,
What is my shadow trying to say.
I can't hear or read lips anway
Hey you!
look over here,
Isn't that my soulest shadow trying to break out of here.
Can you see me screaming coming from me?
Hey you!
listen here, 
I'm frightened over hear.
Can you lift the curse from my soul,
so my shadow can rest and the destructiveness will end?

This Life

This reckless life has been my making,
Like a juggernaut always forsaking......
Others.
As has been my want,
I want it to end but i know that it can't.
Destructiveness! My best form of expression,
I blame depression,
When will I learn my lesson?
I'm not confessing or asking for a blessing......
Of forgiveness.
To help me out of my life mess,
Sometimes.....It all seems so pointless.
My body and mind.....need to be lifeless,
To escape....this destructive rut i'm in.
I'm not a catholic, so it isn't a sin.
I know.....
It'll be a blessing on the people around me.
But what if they found me?
Would they ever sleep soundly?
In their beds again, from what they saw,pain in their hearts and memories raw.
Why should i care?
I'll be knocking at Hell's door, 
Enter for an answer so i can even the score.....
with the one.....
Who brought this all on me.
There'll be a mirror in Hell, because I know who i'll see!!!

Premium MemberI'M Actually Half-Human

I awoke from my cocoon now knowing my time
I'm actually half-human from a dimension defined

But so honoured to be able to look back, and track
To witness such wanton carnage and throw up!

But it's where do I start to tidy up historical mess
As I read back a planet that's severely distressed

North Korean, American, or all with Nuclear extent
Look what you've done now, little left to repent

To amend defend this descend in such destructiveness
Tearing apart the only utopia oasis universal blush

Implosion explosion it's where you've dragged her to be
I'm now somewhere else sitting under somebody's tree

What Do You Know About Me

What you know about me
what you know about me, I asked
everything, he said
do you know about storm, a destructive storm?
the destructiveness within me
that disturbed state of love affection n emotion
which only needs your attention
do you know about forest, a barren forest?
the barrenness within me
that there is no cultivation of happiness n sadness
though count many trees in this forest, waiting for the florist
do you about sky, a dark sky ?
the darkness within me
that I have forgot what a colorful rainbow looks like
and I think darkness is just fine, where all stars are mine
do you know about crowd, a lonely crowd
the loneliness within me
that my ambience is of million peeps 
but your memories is only what I keep
do you about song, crazy song
the craziness within me
that you stay in my head every time,
 when I listen to song I think to you I belong
what do you know about me, I asked
everything he said,
nothing I whispered !

Premium MemberIn Crucible of Love

IN THE CRUCIBLE OF LOVE

Love
unlike hate
is eternal;
and cannot be
transformed.
Love is
and can only be
its self;
but hate
has many manifestations;
demanding
and expressing evil 
in various deceptive ways—
Seeking to destroy all that is good.
 
Ah, but the goodness of love 
is of God
and is impervious
to the will and destructiveness of hate.
Love surpasses all things;
 and in due season,
hate and injustice
will fade into love and justice;
and hate and inequality
shall melt and flow into equality:
Such is the power of love—
Where love is, hate cannot abide.

Hidden

HIDDEN

Bad turns to worse
Opening yourself to the hurt
Repeated acts of suicide
Disrupted family, no charm

Emptiness, sense of not belonging
Relationships going downhill, falling
Love then comes hate
Impulsiveness, horrible mistakes

Not allowed to change the past
If I could, more mistakes will come
Happiness will not last

People judge me for things I can’t help
Experiences, emotions I have felt
Restless, risky
Over exaggerating all the time

Never relaxed, but sometimes
Anxiety grabs and consumes me
Loosens up on its grip
But I will never really be free

Inappropriate anger, frantic it seems
The lonely hole in my heart, gigantic
Young, paranoid and alone
Disturbed, friends they disown

Identity gone, self-image uncertain
Self-destructiveness, I hide
Overdosing, a risk I have taken
Recurrent threats, promises I keep breaking

Difficulty doing what I am told
Not good with management
Excessive efforts to avoid abandonment
Restless, diagnosed borderline has me by the throat

Scrawny Tony

Scrawny Tony gaunt and bony scraggy bag of beastly bones
           He was pony de la Manchu chum of  Mister Marty Jones
                            He had an intense perception
                            And skills of great execution
        In a sense of perfect destructiveness he chomped my hipbones

Tempests

Destructiveness is what was left for me
To pick through the pieces of misery, love, and fear
You led me astray to that path
Where your arches opened under a veil of disguises 
Where darkness took me far away from myself
Left, was an empty shell of a beautiful soul
A serene spirit in the eye of a storm
Who succumbed and weathered
Instead of being comforted by a peaceful rain.

Colossus

Unwittingly, through our unsatisfying desire for more,
mankind has given birth to the Colossus.

Able to manifest, and combine the forces of nature,
striking unpredictably, anywhere, anytime across the globe,	
not heeding boarders, nor mans defences.

As of now, the Colossus's ability for destructiveness is limited.
Yet still foolishly, blindly, nourishment for the beast is forthcoming,
poisons, pollutants, arrogantly pumped into the atmosphere.

So far as an infant, Colossus has only thrown tantrums.
But to continue, down this road we travel,
fearful we should be, of the day, the tethers break, 
and all the matured rage, of the Colossus is unleashed.

A Rejection of Theology

Modern secular humanism
more lethal than religious bigotry 
reveals an innate destructiveness 
in man's inherently feral idolatry 
set as absolute value 
(by some called nation, or reason, 
or religion) 
that, compelling annihilation 
of all rival claimants; 
but to allow the ineffable Reality 
an alteration of life, 
seeing through the finite symbols 
to the God beyond god 
past theism and comprehending, 
now, that is God; 
that God appearing 
after god has disappeared 
in the anxiety of doubt.

Euphoric Hysteria

Bewildering panic
Consumes me
Feeling the pounding
Of my racing heart
On the edge of insanity
Falling to my death
Yet I continue down this
Path of self destructiveness
To resurrect the corpse 
That lives inside me

Running in circles
No way out of the maze
Of deception and lies
In which I am trapped 
Reality blurred
Living in a fantasy
Only an illusion of escape
Never breaking free
Looking in the mirror
But, ignoring the truth 
That's staring back at me
