Premium Member Live like a Jackal, Die like a dog
Hear the flames crackle Fall on your sword Live like a Jackal Die like a dog The lion is weary Hyenas dart and bite Their laughing is eerie He'll lose his last fight. The vultures are circling Eyes that see far Their shadow is on you Wherever you are. Betrayal was easy You were attracted to strife You gambled with demons...

Life choices
This is is the day Where push comes to shove To get what I want I must rise above Ignore all the people Saying this saying that I’ll use what you said For this motivational rap You think you’re one up You can’t see your own flaws Narsassistic tendacies Will soon cause you to fall When I get discouraged And life’s beating me down I find peace...

The Mentor
I paused to stand and watch a man who had come to the road’s divide, my wonder soared as I watched his stare slowly shift from side to side. He stood as if not noticing that many passed him by, they moved without a second glance down the road most traveled by. Then as I watched he stepped full...

Life Choices Miracle Man January 2024 All my life choices rest with me alone, and many, to God, won’t be delightful. So from life’s mistakes I must atone, for my perception of hell is frightful. The farther down life’s road I travel, days get tougher both night and day. But God won’t let my life unravel, If from HIS shadow I do not stray. ...

Life Choices
Every choice one makes in life, Is another step forward into their development. Each and every choice Has a meaning. Sometimes, the one that makes the choice, Is unaware of the consequences. Speaking, such choices I’ve made in my life I was unaware of surprising outcomes. I’ve found out sad things of other people Such things I am both happy and sad That such a...

Premium Member Built By Hand
As if in opposition it stood Like a distress call from a precarious time Juxtaposed perpendicular to an open grass laden field A horizontal girder of ominous warning A marker of trespass. Abandoned, it was kept secret for many years I have stumbled upon this inherent passage in time. This parapet before me stirred with its meaning Buttressed with elements of wood...

Who Am I
Who Am I ? By George W. Clever-----12 June 2020 Who am I? I’m just a nut. Patch on my eye. Big ears to help me fly. A Weird kid in school. So they all say. Mother had me tested. Never received the results, I guess. Life has been busy. A smorgasbord of interests. How could I choose but one? So I filled my plate with...

A clown car or an elevator? A forest or a meadow? Sad or happy? The choice is yours. Pink polka dots or Linen Gray? A kitchen accident or a freight train? Joyfulness or Melancholy? The choice is yours. A magical kingdom or a jail cell? Pie or cheese? Excitement or Boredom? The choice is yours....

Caged Bird
I'm in a cage, with plenty of doors- I do not know from which to get out. Out of the cage, I see the world- different from every separate door. I'm a caged bird, with a mystery yet unsolved- where the future of a caged bird will be. Where to fly, where to reach, it's not something a caged bird...

Life Choices Written: by Tom Wright. 7-20-2016 Tangible success or inner gratification, Were the choices in life that I once faced. My life could remain just an aberration, And the family name, become disgraced; Then I arrived at my road’s branching, Firmly entrenched, I faced a life choice. Trembling, I stood, with color blanching, Jesus had given me cause to now rejoice. ...

LIFE CHOICES By Kevin L Fairbrother He sat in his rocking chair, willing time to pass A stubby of beer in his hand and a *** in his mouth Rocking to the country music blaring in the background This man so alone, thinking about his last breath Once a family man of great strength and character Working days spent at the saw mill...
