DROPS OF DISHONOR

all the stuff going on that motel was heating up but the locksmith didn't speak
Irish too well & besides he got drunk & robbed the wrong merry-go-round anyway...
Sigh
Banal as it might seem, it's not how you think
but I bet my client would like
a virgin monkey's grin
because what are gargoyles for after all?
Isn't that exactly what

Shame

Proverbs 16:18 (KJV) “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”

I’ve been ashamed,
Ashamed of my lack of understanding,
My lack of consideration,
My lack of care and concern,
My lack of admiration.

I’ve been ashamed,
Ashamed of the way I acted…
When things didn’t go the way I planned,
When I just couldn’t let go of the past,
When, despite

The Dishonor Repaired

Through cotton thistles 
A young woman walks embroidering tears
With a seven month old
That moves and dreams in her womb.
The boyfriend who impregnated her
Has put a chastity belt on her
Throwing the lock
And taking the key
It is not known to what place.
Some voices count
How was it in summer
The groom turned into a frog
When the sun came up.
Every

No Dishonor Or Shame

A warrior lives
like he’s already dead

Honor intact,
his last mission ahead

Destiny called
by an enemy name

All glory to God
—no dishonor or shame

On Love, Dishonor, Marry, Die, Cherish, Perish

Reading David Rakoff’s book,
In rhyming couplets, really shook
Me way down deep inside my core;
I read and read and wanted more.

A novel all in poetry?
I think he wrote it just for me,
For who could love it more than I?
I’m sure that you can guess the why.

The brilliant rhymings all surpass,
In creativity and sass,
The best that I

Death Before Dishonor

listen
people silent and children crying
out upon this home front we bravely defend
 our men out there
constantly dieing 
hoping 
for revenge
upon those who smote the stares and stripes
open blaze America spirit
pure and bright
against shallow shores
we must bear
our souls to our enemy

stand!
listen, you all
our country, glory and pride
she needs us now
stand and fight
for it is always
death!
before dishonor

shhhh...listen
hear

Badge of Dishonor

This is a story, I'm not fond to recall
One decade ago, when my daughter was small
She was too young for Girl Scouts,..so instead, joined a troop
Of young "Brownie" fledglings...there were ten in her group

They needed a leader, ...so I stepped up in command !
Like a proud mother soldier, I would lend them a hand !!
They

Death Before Dishonor

My mind is already at the finish line
Right before the gun fired
My mind is already at the finish line waiting to foresee 
what 
the 
hell 
you 
got 
beneath that skin
That thin skin gets torn with concealed hell in my eyes
Get out of my way
Relax because it's over before it started 
It's death before dishonor
Tarnish my

Death Before Dishonor

Death before dishonor, friends should be like bredren,

Dishonor before death, then let the Reeper bless 'em.

Death before dishonor, I got your back do the same,

Dishonor before death, thou who chooseth not ashamed.

Death before dishonor, no love at all for snitches,

Dishonor before death, some men in the world are b*tches.

Death before dishonor, my best friend is
