Once upon a Halloween night,
Billy Butcherson came to life,
A zombie with a tongue of tar,
Brought back by three witches, so bizarre.
Hocus Pocus, the witches chanted,
In the night, their schemes were implemented,
But Billy, once a lover scorned,
Now sought redemption, reborn.
Through the streets of Salem he roamed,
Among the living, his heart still roamed,
For Sarah, the witch who'd put a curse,
On his life, cutting it short in verse.
The townsfolk screamed, they ran away,
But brave Billy had something to say,
He'd found his voice, his heart was pure,
He'd fight the witches, it was sure.
With courage in his heart, he went to war,
Against the witches, three times three,
He battled through the darkest night,
And saved the day and set things right.
Billy Butcherson, the hero true,
Proved that love can conquer all anew,
With a heart so brave, a soul so strong,
He found his way to belong.
And so, each Halloween night,
We honor Billy, and his might,
For he reminds us, through fear and fright,
To be brave and hold on to what's right.

His heart was black as coal a cantankerous soul
So cruel and so unkind
He was ever so clever but never would ever
Reveal what's on his mind
It was commonly known was a cad fully grown
And a savage from birth
His only decision and only one vision
Was to ravage the Earth
Then one night in a dream the most devilish scheme
Ever devised by man
On a day in December a day we'd remember
He hatched his evil plan
With his hatred alive he then took a long drive
Down to the hotel Ritz
Soon his plan implemented a bomb he invented
That would blow it to bits
As a matter of fact he thought the hotel was packed
But it was empty instead
By the light of the moon the bomb blew up way too soon
And brought it down on his head
The news got the story it was ever so gory
But we all know the rest
No longer no trouble lied dead in the rubble
The hotels only guest

Flash floods came in a sudden
After few hours of torrential rain
Villages in towns submerged
Water rose so high…surged.
People stayed on their roofs
Waited for rescuers holding faith and hope
Teams of rescuers came less than an hour
To save everyone with all their powers.
People evacuated in safer places
Government officials sent foods for days
Relief goods and help came from the cities
A unified effort and cooperation with love and peace.
After few days , water slowly subsided
Some went home, others were relocated
Clean and clear up programs were established
Clogged drainages and canals were all fixed.
Many volunteers, both young and adult
Cleaned and planted more trees for better result
Proper waste disposal was implemented
Illegal logging and quarrying were strictly prohibited.

Unswerving in your sincere actions,
stating the main purpose of intentions;
no venom is excreted from enlarged veins
without the fear of horrific moments!
Be grateful for the ample kindness shown,
never a trace of bitter sentiment or a frown;
eyes tear when crossing over the deep abyss
with the hesitation to discover its darkness!
Woeful are the darkest secrets kept to oneself,
when they're confessed they can be a relief;
pluck roses from their stems without bleeding:
thorns were Christ's crown proclaiming Him king!
Persistence is such a fortitude stronger than gold,
give someone a stone instead of sweet bread:
he will speedily fling it back and seek revenge;
treat everybody fairly and nobody will ever cringe!
Be infallible in your ultimate quest for beneficial change,
remain loyal to your peers, avoid conflict and treason;
if unfair judgment is implemented, let God be the judge:
sequels end when the pile of lies crumbles in soggy rain!
Faith binds spirit and heart to pursue holiness,
be a deviant and bear the direst consequences;
religion imposes punishment, society never does:
does freedom mean to do whatever one pleases?

Gas chambers were operated by people..Legislation is
Framed and implemented by people in chechslovakia &
Albania, albanians were concentration camp
Guards and gas oven operators, today we see oversimplification of many fraught history's, and now there are wars to displace
People to achieve disorder in the west; and wider world.'
The proposed solution to this has all the potenntial of a Waking nightmare.' Is it possible to stop the sleepwalk.?

They reside in realms where exist constant despicable deeds of destruction.
A place of unrest that hampers the imagination in any form of production.
Unforgotten tablets locked away in the temples have been shrouded and hidden from humanity.
Various devices such as tabloids and media are implemented to keep fear generating insanity.
Mysteries of the ages are used by the dark ones to control the masses all the while festering anxiety.
One must turn inward in search of truth which is just beyond the veil the dark ones cast.
Their time is at hand and their demise is approaching fast.
There will be harmony and peace in the valley at last.

Conflicting waves ruffle the smooth blue static
hindering the ethereal progression of her path
Airiness sinks heavily to lean into leaden aqua
mistiness lingering, a foggy dolorous requiem
Practical currents, seem to have lost their step
as winds gust, only to die in competing dogma
Gone again are the gains to the losses gaining!
New rules implemented o’er the old as the sun
explicitly highlights flaws within its blared flare
Listless and restless tossing of the weary soul
aspiring to stay afloat in a much bouncier sea
Denying the salty sting, sways ‘long the bend
yielding painfully to a slower, upriver, journey

When change is hard earned,
We know hard lessons have been learned,
And we are less likely to get burned,
By the kind of change we have earned,
When we forget that time served,
In giving minds time to be changed,
For or against the change that is proposed,
Lest the winds of change cannot be tamed,
To blow in a different direction than first planned,
As the seeds for change that we wish to be planted,
Don't always come from hearts and minds, opened,
Enough, to see that some seeds are not fit to be planted,
And to the wind should be scattered,
So, dreams that mattered,
Are given a chance to be implemented,
Before they are shattered.

"A hand that gives receives"
Sad ! Sad to see we've been reduced to nothing but beggars
Lining up on the streets to receive
The same streets that we lined up our voices
Chanting out for change only to get weary, sit down & pick change
Call it short changed cause that's what it feels like
Giving up the long ball for today
Since we all looking out for ourselves
That change only feels like a drag to our progress
This days the streets are filled with businessmen
Yes businessmen ! Because they cash in on the sympathy
Only for them to go back to being "okay"
At night when they retire waiting for the next dawn
It's made the genuine voices get lost in the lines
Because they all look out to get something
Only to get broken promises and things not changing
Atleast money doesn't change, that's why they won't mind lose change
It hurts that this people could have had a life like any other
But because people lookin the other way
Policies ain't being implemented to the fullest
And making it even harder for persons with disabilities to get their daily needs

Maybe what’s good is not my saying
But what I said is not bad
I can write; I can do
I can confess; I can avoid
What I ignore is not for my ignorance
What I cannot learn is not for illiteracy
Life is the name of struggle on the earth
But death is what I need to be learned!
I do not know what I do not believe
I do not know where I do not reside
I do not know what I did not still learn
But if I believed, resided, learned I knew all!
Of new and continuous new
I need to learn before judgments
Of old and oldest ancient
I need to swap myself to the point before verdicts
In front of learning
Judgments and verdicts are invalid discussion
Political, social, economic, religion, caste and racial power
All are not the power of knowledge!
Continuous learning is knowledge
And knowledge that has been implemented is wisdom
In the practical life people know best
What is good and what is bad
But regarding the practice of beliefs, nations, countries
I need to continuous learning
Just learn, learn constant and let me learn
Before making you the subject of fun

It was thought the young whale was pregnant
confused as she was and out of her depth.
They waded into the river to help,
floated rubber rafts to buoy her up.
Marine experts posited ways
to keep her breathing in shallow waters.
In dockyard pubs
hard men openly spoke of her plight,
voices low and humorless
as they test-drove new technical jargon.
When she died;
rolling in the pebbly shallows
we threw a tarpaulin over her
as if she were a human cadaver.
We had televised everything,
implemented elaborate plans,
recorded last moments with ripples of hope.
Later we watched the sluggish waves
wash away her long drowning.
