Musing on the Death Penalty
A double murderer
Shot before a firing squad
Justice or revenge?
An eye for an eye
So, the old law book conveys
Punishment for sin
Society’s way
To rid town square of wrongs
Yet, death row awaits
The hangman stands by
The masses don’t know his name
Pulls the trap door latch
The cycle repeats
With no real decrease in crime
No one ever wins
Justice will make

Fairly Realm
Fairy Realm
Go now, my child, to the fairy realm.
Look, my child, through the Seeing Stone.
Touch, my child, the berries and the grass.
Stick to the path, my child, you'll find the way.
But only travel this way by day.
Look round, my child, it's all peace here.
A bunny, a nightshade- there runs a deer.
Look round,

Red Riding Hood
?
Little Red
had everyone convinced.
Of innocent
with the color blush
on her skin.
At cross roads
where the road ends,
there the foot prints
and paws meet.
Hanging on a branch
of a tree,
in the wind
red fabric be dancing.
Lone wolf,
meeting on lovers hill
There the wolf will howl
a lovers song to the moon.
See little Red
had everyone fools
For a shewolf
walks at night
when the moon is full.

Fairly Enough
Hardship come come
& make it tough..
Ease will then settle
& make us laugh..
This is God’s promise
& God’s promise is enough.

Fairly Fairytale
my steps towards the back of the bus
on seat one he looked quite dopey
seat two smiled as i made my way past
on three a doctor
suit ironed to his skin
His neighbour blew his nose
beside him head against the window fast asleep
On seat six a grump refused to move his bag
the next would not meet my gaze
At

Roses Fairly They Excel With Beauty
Roses
Roses
Roses
Fairly they excel with beauty
Seen from my window whence I awake
Ajar the scent whiffs in as the dawn breaks
Cool kiss upon my face
Lace expression of emotion with grace
Withered soul age has brought about
A child within lured out
A chair amongst the roses worn bare
Lingers in the garden there
Roses

Fairly Eyes
Discrimination!
The worst word ever!
Prejudice strikes bad
To thousands of race
In this wildest world.
Equality
Is what we need.
Our complexion
Doesn’t matter.
Black or white…
That is fine!
We’re equal…
In His
Fairly
Eyes.

Fairly Implied - Ugly Denied
How full is the earth’s beauty!
And how I implore the lengthening
Of just a day; that I may bask in
That days brief eruptive flowering.'
Oh how a blemish, throws my senses reeling,
As I pulsate to the Hidden altercation,
'That holds' the core of my habitations 'way'
Eternity is of how long a span?
I know not hereof!

Winning Fairly
The judges took me to the side,
whispering softly “You've gotten them
all right, but you cannot win everything.
It isn't fair to the other children.”
I rolled my eyes and pulled on
my pigtails. If I had won them
all, I should get them all. Adults
are so silly in their concepts of fair.

The Coolest Thing Is Writing a Fairly Good Poem and Know Twelve People Wll Read Me
MALICE IN BLUNDERLAND
New born babies are being brutalized by a bastion of bastards and b*****s
S**t I couldn’t do that if I were offered untold riches
All the money in the world couldn’t motivate me to commit such an atrocity
As the blood of beautiful babies flow due to a self-serving monstrosity
I hear of all the babes who

Fairly Fierce
Some are timid,
Some are meek,
Some are strong,
Some are weak,
I'm laid back,
And quiet too,
But if you attack,
Don't matter who,
I become an animal,
Like a cornered beast,
I'll fight against all odds,
Till the threat does cease
I have proved this once,
I have proved this twice,
Invade my dignity,
I am not a bit nice,
I've fought against odds,
Where others might cringe,
When I'm done
