Drenched in tears, I wrench in response to the pain I sense.
Caused by wrong desirers, walls, guards, and the electric fence.
Put here to stop free choice by man,
To keep him from becoming all that he can.
To hold imprisoned, crushing hopes and dreams.
To in flick hurt and pain, I can hear the screams.
Today, though they’ve been torn to their foundation,
They, once again, become a free people nation.
They now have hopes and dreams, both the young and old.
Thanks to many that died and many that were bold.
The challenges will be hard, but their hearts are filled,
With a burning desire, their lives to rebuild.

Here do I stand straight and strong at my post
Aiming to protect my mere mortal host
So statuesque yes but still as a ghost
To be called upon when I'm needed most
Now do I vow by my own admission
Honored to serve this noble tradition
The many before in this position
I salute you now for you decision

PRESERVE RELUSH- Choose Wisely your What Guards
Your Heart for We are Products of our Environment
The rain mine tears, earthen grounds lusted flesh
I am that I am a light
I am that I am in His sight
Created soul I so shine ever bright
Terrain grounds fervent rains swollen trees
Non disant I am that I am
Heavenly being shining bright- I am light
Darkness please there be nothing in creation
Stand though I am in the atmosphere environment
Nothing on this Earth or universe
Nothing shall in me be dispersed
For God in you, with you, you're the wise shielding part
That guards my heart
As I am a product of our environment
I Choose Wisely what God's my heart

There is an old hag that guards the way, she’s a witch, I think.
This was told to me by a child with large eyes and cheeks so pink
I wanted to climb up those stairs to the haunted mansion anyway.
So, I ignored her warnings at the end of this Halloween day.
The black cat I met at the bottom gave me an insane stare.
I felt he could bite my arm off and would not even care.
What is your name? I asked, thinking to make conversation.
He snarled and clawed me on my foot without hesitation.
I shrieked and screamed and wailed and ran from the steps.
He was on me like a thrown bit of dynamite said my cousin Peps.
I was so horrified, that I was not sure what had happened in truth.
You were screaming like a banshee baby said my cousin Ruth.

Medicine Woman resposes at the top of the summit
surveying her village, protecting her tribe
a brave’s job, her mother scolded her
Medicine Woman scoffs, keeping a sharp eye out

Tiger’s head raises up quickly. What was that noise?
His lady is sleeping, and he wants quiet in the castle.
A young page whispers a shaky apology and scampers off.
He did not realize that tiger was in the throne room.
The princess stirred but briefly. Tiger held his breath.
He was guarding her and her child, an awesome responsibility.
Given to him by her honor the Queen Mother.
He relaxed when she resumed her slumber.

Each petal, leaf, each vein, each thorn, not any one the same,
Stand tall in there duty protecting Their tillage from the dark winged shadows circling the sky's mains
The wind slightly changes and they sway so waiting on the rain.
Each is there own colour with shades all with different names.
Same race, different names, different colours , different shapes and different mothers.
Many layers and characteristic ways and some blooming, others blossoming and some like to sleep away there days.
Sometimes the wind peels off a layer, and at times the rain lay heavy weighing them down until they drop to the ground, leaving no armour.
The sun singes there edges making them burnt and different to the eye.
Sometimes they are open,sometimes closed, but there's one thing that everyone knows about the beautiful, elegant and regal garden guard's ,
that in all there differences, one thing they all were created with in traits,
That they all smell the same, Subtle but intense, delicate and strong.
It's that distinct fragrance, it's the smell of the ROSE.

You are not guardians, but simply guards.
Who turned our memories into shards.
You do not provide respite.
Only spite.
Unlike the ones on the other end of the line.
Who carried us through, just fine.
Until you decided-
That we are doomed to be divided.
Society does not deserve us.
Our families- they trust.
That our tears are unreal.
That innocence, we cannot feel.

The paper that Guards
The newspaper I read in the morning was rather tame,
irate lemmings in Norway cheeky monkeys in Thailand
and deforestation that is not as bad as we imagined,
there will always be a tree somewhere in a park.
A sour written article that was supposed to be witty
about Trumps last days, showed ill will by the writer.
Not much to write about in this pandemic, even pest
gets tedious when mentioned too often.
I think this is pre- Christmas nerves or it has started
by the staff who don´t want to go home to a tree,
a wife and two unruly children.
Whatever it must not let the guard slip as it did when
first publishing Assange then throwing at him.

M-My first church was Methodist
E-Episcopal, by way of African-American experiences,
T-That I may overcome African apartheid, white then black,
H-How far the LORD has brought me, for Jesus' Heart
O-Overflowing with forgiveness, understanding, fearless-favor
D-Day by day, I seek to love Him, not idly but in hour upon hour
I-Interceding for others, saved and unsaved, both other & a brother
S-Selfish as his wife, Sister-in-Love, who stole shamelessly, family dream
T-Today I looked through window bars, at God's green, raining tears

dainty garden elf
plotting the tomato growth
wating patiently
butterfly stops by
a pretty flit and flutter
checking on progress
our bee takes a whiff
and promptly buzzes off
not liking this scent
green grasshopper lands
takes enormous breath and sighs
garden elf happy

A muscular good-looking prince was in love with a princess so fine,
But he accidentally died on a hidden chicken bone, when he dined.
He accidentally wayfared himself to the bowels of he**, in the back.
Where the meanest devils wanted to eat him as a holiday snack.
“He’s in the wrong place,” the hot-as-Hades jury man yelled in his cup.
He has to go back to the earth world, but they’d burned his body all up.
“What bodies do we have left?” Devil asked his committee, all around.
Zod’s body, the fiercest dragon in the world, was the only one they found.
So they put the prince’s soul in it, and sent him back to Princess Mur.
Consummation was out of the question, but at least he still had her.
Zod stands guard daily by her castle, in his formidable attire.
And chases off all other princes, who come along to admire.
He knows they can never fully a loving, live-long couple truly be.
But he is standing guard forever now, in his muscular entirety.
Princess Mur knows there is something special about this champion as well.
She has dreams about him that are so sensual, they must come from the bowels of he**.

Scotch pine guards solemnly keep forest secrets
Walking steadily in the cold wet stuff, we marvel
At the beauty of Mother Sun shining above pine guards.
Sunlit glory protecting mystical, magical forest nuances.
With her full force dazzling light. Keeping us in awe
Revealing nothing, hiding her owls, foxes, and deer.
Keeping us safe from them and them from us.
