Proud To Serve
I’m proud to serve, that’s true as hell, But sometimes I wonder why we’re here to rebel— Not against the mission, not against the fight, But the brass and the game that fogs up the right. They say it’s a brotherhood, shoulder to shoulder, But I see ‘em slicked up, gettin' rank over the bolder. The ones who dodge grime, fresh-pressed...

Premium Member The Grime of Shoes
The grime of shoes can bring someone a prize, along with hands that serve orphans and poor. Examined dust, that walked the narrow way, disregarding themselves, loved to their core. But, selfish feet are caked, forevermore, having poured drinks until the break of day, can’t make it to one’s bed, sleeping on floor. The grime of shoes gathers offals and flies. ...

Grime Under the Tablecloth
Grime under the table cloth Beneath the fluorescent lights and sterile walls, Lurks an undercurrent of unspoken strife. The daggers are kept hidden, the words unsaid, But the tension is palpable, A throbbing wound. For all the forced cordiality, the animosity seethes underneath. ©?Chitra Arun...

Premium Member The Grime Reaper
The Grim Reaper, stirs from another well earned day of heavenly sleep From within the bowels of this cavernous earth, from his cave so deep His cloak and scythe, been cast to one side in an unceremonious heap From last night’s hard work of collecting souls in the local town sweep His dry and aching bones creaked from the...

Boys
BOYS Moving, ever still, Or so it seems, until You find him Thinking, On top a fence, Up in a tree, Or grassy hill. Dirt and grime, It seems, until a time You find him Washing, Slick down hair, Brushing teeth, For dollar or dime. Strong and rough, You’ve had enough, Then you find him Helping, Carrying a bag, Tender nurse, When times are tough. Copyright, Kathryn Search...

Premium Member Drowning In Grime
Sinking into the soil of his egocentric ocean Snarled and sniveled the cephalopod mollusk Since to be worthy of his charming prey Sensation beaming from his passion blasting Suspending her from being aware of drowning Stunning to sight her lapse into squandering Sloshing in intense sadness and deceitfulness Written: April: 03, 2022...

Premium Member My Grimy Grill
My grimy grill, Is really quite, Summer’s delight, And if used right, Is very much a thrill. It’s not just meat, That’s off the hook, For if you look, You’ll see I cook, My veggies over heat. The greasy grates, They hold the food, That will conclude, With gratitude, Once I put onto plates. The fires burn, On down below, And cooking slow, My grilling row, As I do often turn. The grease had grown, Up...

Jeopardy of Grime
J-eopardy of grime applies O-nerous outbreak to tongues; Z-one of threat targets the mouths, E-ntering into the L-ungs.

C-ontain and combat the link, A-ll the way, all the time; D-efeat the destructive danger A-nd jeopardy of G-rime. Topic: Anniversary of Jozel & Recca Cadag (June 18)...
