War Is a War Crime

Once wars were fought with sticks and stones
to flog the flesh and batter bones
and conquer lands, defending thrones -
though gods provoke, not one atones. 

The multitude (by hordes beset
with battle-ax or bayonet)
braved blades, dyed red...

you'll be a man, tomorrow

You’ll be a man tomorrow, child, yes,
If you respect animals and pristine nature,
If you don’t kill elephants for ivory,
If you don’t kill the whales for soap,

You’ll be a man if you can stop time
If you...

Macabiloquent Mastery

As I ascend the podium, a predator of piquant pontifications, my eyes ravage the assemblage of adversaries, their countenances a canvas of consternation and morbid fascination. The atmosphere is heavy with the miasma of malignant...

Where Are the Villagers- -We Need To All Take Care of Our Children-

The children are running wild, running rapid;
Like runAway children disrespecting children;
Some of them being heathen;
come one come all
Here comes the authority, the law;
Lead to slaughter liken sheep;
Where are these rule breakers;
WHERE ARE THE VILLAGERS-

Because We Have Debased

It's sister dramatic verse is: The Entertainment Rating System.**

Because we have debased the word 'mother,'
by adding onto to it the F***Bomb!
Because we have debased both the words:
adult and maturity to also mean 
pornography!**

Because we have...

Breaking Loose

Time and again he flashes those images before me;
The sin that so easily besets me
You should think that by now I get the picture
That I now understand his whims
That I can say “get behind me,...

Inferno

The taste of bile treads my thoughts,
Unwillingly my feet must now follow,
Source of inspiration guide,
Restore the signal fires now long lost,
Set beyond the temporal,
A path impassable by mortals,
The stairs of separation, 
I must recount lest...

Slavery wasn't slavery

There's a man who I call DeSatan
From Florida to Sunshine State 
who said that slavery for Black folks in America 
was beneficial and great. 
they were taught skills on how to be

Are We Trending In the Wrong Direction

Anxieties wake us up when we are in affliction.
We will track down a creative wellspring of motivation.
Obsolete ideas have flourished in objection.
Is it true that we back to the hermit turtle? Rejection.

Because of this paradox,...

Aye Miss the Trials and Tribulations of Expectant Fatherhood

The Base Is Broken

We have reached the base of the Idol
where the iron is now mixed with clay
a kingdom broken and fractured
its lack of strength in full display
 
There can never be any cohesion
of elements weak and debased

Living Shard

Blue men talking, standing askance.
Boasting through insecurity's dance.
Hands on their hips, changing lead. 
Reacting on cue, shifting need.
Negotiating through, 
judgment with a glance.
Women walking, asking what's new.
Gossip, the only bile they spew.
Hand flicks hair, waiting...

Wrong Scheme

THE SCHEME:

The system is bad...!
It's really sad.
Times are obviously hard.
It's not easy to come across money.
Though it sounds really funny.
As many can't afford two square meals.
What of paying their bills?
Only being in their shoes will...

INSCRIPTION ON THE MONUMENT OF A NEWFOUNDLAND DOG.

When some proud son of man returns to earth,
Unknown to glory, but upheld by birth,
The sculptor’s art exhausts the pomp of woe,
And storied urns record who rest below;
