Premium MemberThe Hand That Feeds You

Just picked up a pup fresh off the tit

Had a hunger that just wouldn't quit 

Put kibble in a cup

And he gobbled it up 

I bent over to pet him...he bit

Premium MemberThe world feeds on tragedy, with an insatiable hunger for misfortune

The world feeds on tragedy, with an insatiable hunger for misfortune,
They demand confessions, not out of care, but to dissect and devour the soul,
When I reveal my pain, their eyes become glassy with disgust,
And their pity drips like acid on my open and bleeding wounds.
Perhaps that's why I've made my sadness a "nameless grave,"
A place

Premium MemberJesus Feeds The Crowd

As a father feels his children's plight and feeds their hunger.
You felt the need of the crowd and fed them with word-wonder.
Clouds of helplessness within disciples seemed to wander.
You could see Father and Spirit smiling, not so yonder

Bread and fish were less. Your heart, yet, like the cosmos, was broad.
Though your Abba was always with

Premium MemberThe Hand That Feeds Us

Bow down to the better than thous

All us treated like sheep and cows

Corralled and penned and strapped inside

While those on high just break our pride

Whether you're a son or daughter

Prepare yourself for the slaughter

We're all the same to those that bleeds us

It's time to bite the hand that feeds us

The Story Of The Cruel And Dark Queen That Feeds On Souls

She that exists to eat innocent souls and this world's vast wealth
A dark goddess, splaying her straggly long hair with wilted roses
Pretty, brazen, wickedly heartless and damn to hell soulless
Even far more beautiful, glowingly fair than is Lamia
Artists and poets seek words to describe

Premium MemberWhen Night Feeds Day

When frights are most appealing than sunshine.
That puts a stop to any remaining hope to shine.
Hell's dogs will wait with their terrifying teeth.
while a deadly famine swallowed them underneath.

When the sky is coated by a thick veil of darkness.
Covered a soul wailing with apathy and madness.
And that's what the stud horizon curves around.
A rainy, gloomy

Voice That Feeds

While her garden plants she pruned 
Often unrestrainedly crooned:
Come her much loved month of June,
Mostly, when it far noon...

You hear her when rules The Moon
Or if Summer should be soon
Peaceful voice that feeds like spoon;
She had long mastered Gay Tune,
As Deserts had Sand Dunes
And a War Theatre Bombs ruins
The voice that feeds A Boon
Ears that

The Hand That Feeds

The hand that feeds

What does it take to force a bite
Words? Insults given or anger raised
Derision, laughter, unrelenting, no end
Or pain, sharp, sudden, all a deep hurt
Each in it’s own way an assault

Backed up, corners reached, no escape
No turning place, no running space
Forced to face the moment
Options gone, alone, frozen
No flight and so fight rears
...

Premium MemberWhat Feeds the Cold

Barren fields of November
Corn stalks ragged
        broken soldiers
        bleak beauty
        stripped of green
Beige bones on autumn's carpet

Margins of daylight that disappear
        blending frost to the pinched ground
Corrosive

Premium MemberMama Vise Grip Feeds Her Wrenches

Mama vise-grip had but two meals left for her little baby brights. 
Her wrenches were beak up, waiting for her to do the right thing.
Being a mama, she knew she had to give them the last two bites. 
They gulped down their meal eagerly and began to happily sing.

Our mama vise-grip is the best, long

A Weak Mind Feeds a Strong Heart

“Do you like yabbies?” Barry asked. I replied “Are you sick!
I’d just like to ask you; now is the Pope a Catholic?” …
So we headed off across the ranges, where Barry’s cousin Ray,
had a dam that’s full of them on a property near Yea.

There’s no sophisticated fishing gear that we needed to get.
Just a stocking,

 Lucifer And the Cunning Bowl Woe's He Feeds to Unsaved Souls-

Lucifer came by
He looked into my eyes
He offer me a cup full of woe
Poured it into a bowl
Whose bowl is that? I think I know.
Its owner is quite sad though.
It really is a tale of woe,
I watch him frown. I cry hello.

He gives his

Premium MemberMentoring Program Feeds

My job was to set up ten mentors for my children at my school. I set up sixteen.
The training was after school yesterday and thirteen showed up. One was excused, one
could not stay because she had a lung appointment, and one said they would take training another time.
Too bad they missed it, as they missed
