Everyone believes in mental anguish.
Like seashells clogging everything nice.
Gruesome last bits of seaweed.
Blah.
Everyone is generous as they claim.
With their last life boat.
They want everyone to clamor aboard.
So that it gets weighed down and- no survivors.
Burden.
Unease.
As that little boat wheezes its last wheeze and starts to turn sick.
Everyone is on their last life boat, some days.
That’s either mental anguish or seaweed I’m spitting out.
When your life boat gets so full it’s like a gruesome cannonball.
No one is moving or even squirming anymore.
Burble.
It’s gruesome.
The toddlers were twins
a troublesome twosome
and to them all veggies
looked quite gruesome
when it came to greens
as youngsters go
one fussy the other picky
they really didn't want to know
but urging them to eat their veg
their parents took the stance
with
all we are saying
is
'Give peas a chance!'
Mary, Mary, ever so scary
No one your garden does mow
Your plots with flowers so wild
Beneath each plot a dead child
Providing food for every rose
Where those bodies do decompose
Never have you been detected
Nor ever by the police suspected
So your garden continues to grow.
ANGER BEAST
Anger is a crooked path to lead the feet astray,
Thru tangled brush and thorny weeds,
To scratch the skin away.
Anger is a gruesome knife grinding at the heart,
It twists and turns with disregard
'Til pain cannot depart.
Anger is a ruthless foe to tear away a slice,
To break in two who should be one
And turn the heart to ice.
Anger is a beast to fear, in us a thing to hate.
Yet only love and prayer can kill
This cruel and woeful trait.

* Two cats, one a kitten, were found dead in a basement carpark in London, with horrific injuries. I won't give the details but all the signs were of extreme abuse.

It is a sickening time for most of us...
When the internet exposes the worst in us..
Without a doubt many of us recoil in horror...
When a video clip shows us images of mass murder...
When the cold blooded fanaticism that is IS..
Is brutally exposed in video clips of merciless butchery..
Such merciless killings to propagate an ideology...
Is an aberration of decent human behaviour never before in history...
Coldblooded killings and loathsome butcherings of fellowmen..
What has our society become, why are there such men...
Human beings are creatures with souls unlike animals in the wild...
The senseless waste of another's life is but a wanton crime...
How can there be among the civilised man such uncivilised means...
To empower some misguided people to propagate violence and hate...
To execute horrors unimaginable and incomprehensible...
Merely to command fear and obedience, even dominance...
Eerie winds sending shivers down my spine
As the clouds cover the moon
You say, I will come back soon
You say, I will come back soon
1,2,3 as I walk down the street, I believe that these pumpkins glow so fine
Midnight black not a glimpse of stars, for this foggy night
Witches on brooms, yell if you dare
You whisper, I will be there
You whisper, I will be there
Walking past gothic mansions, with dark windows, haunting my sight
My skeleton will remain inside this body forever
As I slowly rise out of this tomb to look for you
Little owl, keeps asking, who? Who?
Little owl, keeps asking, who? Who?
My soul is the shadow walking on your door, once more
Finding my way as I am entangled in this cobweb, boo!
These ghosts with powdered faces and long fingers, come creeping
As the Gothicly gruesome dungeons bells go ringing, ringing
Dungeons bells go ringing, ringing
As I walk, the glass shatters, the houses are spooky too
This day time,is all about money and greed,
No matter who they hurt,guaranteed.
All this confusion,what's wrong and what's right,
Temper's flare,that is about to ignite.
All the love and caring in this world seems to be gone,
All the stitches have been ripped,that used to be sewn.
Religion is being took away from all of our schools,
We need to stand up and not listen to all the nonsense rules.
The conferate flag is another thing they want to destroy,
To take it away,with a smile for them to enjoy.
We need to fight for what we stand for,
This world today is nothing but a gruesome war.
A daylong task
gnashing my teeth
all the while
wishing I were instead
dead
Anxiety
pouring out sweat
wondering when it will end
when finally it does
just before I give up
almost falling to the grit
that would get in my teeth
if I had
I guess I can rest now.
