When the light comes on, roaches will scatter
Scampering for the nearest crack, crevice or hole
When gossip comes to a deaf ear, there's an abrupt stop to all chatter
Expeditiously in comes the judge, allowing truth to be told
When thieves get out and wander in darkness
In search of the next quick lick
When knaves come to spew lies on the chosen who walk in meekness
In come the authorities with their baretta and nightstick.
WHAT HAVE I TURNED TO??
I'm asking myself this question every now and then,because this is not who I was years back.I don't understand how I expeditiously changed from being happy,free-spirited person to this depressed,self-centered and suicidal person.
I started to feel ennui within a short space.I'm so reclusive even though I know that I tend to have suicidal thoughts when I'm alone,but I think my narcissism also makes it hard for me to form genuine relationships with others.
I've lost myself help me find the real me.
Reflections
As one who has walked upon this earth, taking many a path in this plain.
Known sorrow, laughter, joy, heart ache, love, hate and the ache of pain.
As one who has savored the taste of many unconventional dishes,
exotic cuisine from many nations, worlds beyond any of my wishes.
The infinity of one, not but fleeting glimpses of a delicious moment
swiftly traversing life’s rocky roads towards an end and then spent
in the remaining hours of ones expeditiously passing life’s journey,
into ones memory hoard, into the unfathomable depths of eternity.

A while
Surprise
Few miles
Determined
To be
Time gone.
Passing through
Fast lanes
Unclaimed.
Years abroad
Months are gone
Weeks roll by
Days fly.
Hours, minutes, and seconds
Time has expeditiously gone by.

expeditiously
Badda boom, Badda bing
yes, Mr copper
Imitation, unauthentic, superficial why? Create
associations and link ups that causes distress on one another human being for sport frankly
Where's the trueness or loyalty? For gain for this reason Counterfeit, Betrayed, unhealed childhood 's traumas.
Survival of initiating fake friendship is it one's
goal to distract? And expeditiously obtain substances for one lack of and approval or others or lack of void of mere beggary.
Plans for life at a prolonged range
Where everything is glebe strange.
No more strain prompted from the past
I have concealed it fully at long last.
Memories of mine for what I've been
I sanctified that filthy slate clean.
Expeditiously, I will be among the few
I look forward to my hereafter new.
Soon all flashbacks will get depart
I will have recourse to A NEW STAR.

In the aftermath of giving birth I personally had a out of body experience.
Welcoming life into this world, Something went iffy. I could scarcely hear the sounds on the hospital’s speakers
code blue. Nurses and doctors routinely and expeditiously maneuvered to bring me back to existence.
I personally visualized a impression of a manlike image
embracing me, kissed me on my right cheek saying go back my child i’m not finished with you after three days slumbering I was reawakened.
An Orwellian Explanation
Orwellian in nature, data collecting agencies are necessary;
They keep adding info to the files created at someone's request.
Everything gathered is retrieved, analyzed, and assessed,
So there’s no need for alarm. Live your lives as you see best,
And maybe a minor infraction discovery occurrence at worst.
And a penalty imposed, nothing unbearable, “A small price for forgiveness.”
Focus on the big picture; be rest assured there is purpose without flagrance.
After all, we seek the same things; peace, prosperity, health, and clear conscience.
And when glitches are found, they are expeditiously corrected by the agencies.
So always remember, information is vital. Continue to be an obligatory participant.
Exercise discipline for yourselves and the children. You are a generation of promise.
Individual sacrifice is honoured for the greater and common good of the entirety.
“Where shallow waters flow, there, I cross with many.
I journey as far as I’m living; faith will do the rest.”

Exotic elephants excitedly
Enclose Eastern entertainers
Entering exclusive environment;
Expeditiously excluding entry
Every evening except Easter,
Exceptionally expedient exposure
Ensures elephant’s environs.

And behold, calmeth descends evergreen fields, guiding His inspiration judiciously, keep leading myself near opened placidness, quaintly, restoring soul through, undulating, veiled wickedness, eXposing your zeal.
Art being comforted, don't evil feareth, guideth His instruments justly, kindles lavishly my notorieties, ogles pierced quickens, relished spread table, utilized valor weighed eXpeditiously yon zealots.
Attain blessed child-filled days effortlessly, finding great His immunity justified, keeping life merciful, nigh, oils praised quickly runneth sternly, timeliness universally ventured whilst eXposed youth zero-hour.

Great, legendary Harry Houdini
Ruled the roost during his hey day.
Enthralling the world with magic tricks
And death-defying stunts. He loomed large.
The greatest magician of all time, most say.
Escape-artist he certainly was!
Shackled in chains, or tied up with ropes
Cap-a-pie, and submerged under water, in...
A desperate race against time, he expeditiously
Plans his suspenseful great escape before an
Entertained, captivated audience. He was one of a kind!

Concerning Procrastination
Issues not dealt with expeditiously,
Are meteorically elevated into problems.
Tom
tonight as we sit here
on the banks of the creek
the opalescent light of moon
slips momentarily
beneath a cloud
and i am swept
in the depths of you
night's breath is rising
then falling delicately
across my almost bare skin
i shiver beneath the warmth
of your tender touch
as it mingles in
i see the flicker of stars
reflecting back from your eyes
and i am lost somewhere
between the folds of darkness
and love's empathetic hold
the incandescent light of the moon
casts a shadow atop the water
that dances in the ebb and flow
alluring me further in the depths
i am swept away
expeditiously by its current
i arch my back and surrender
beneath its force
captive like the moon
within her sky
my reflection emerges
equally full
