The 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

The 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

Jesus 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

The 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
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

The Breath of Life My God Feeds Me
Like a sparrow my Father again so feeds me
Like the wind my Father again yet fills me
With His heavenly breath He fills life into me my lungs
The breath of Life.......He gives us all
Sings so exuberantly
The energy around me surrounds me so beautifully
I am so welcomed in HIM my Father, God feeds me

When 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

What 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

Mama 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 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

Mentoring 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
