overlords for the good 
of the world 
walk and breathe
their lines 

pure as 
Snow White
war addicted

compromised 
inside out

She is a brown eyed girl with soft brown hair
The gown covers her pregnant belly
The tasseled cap is her crown
Nothing can down her determination
Motivation comes from nightmares 
Motivation comes from dreams

There was pity for one second for the victim in this case,
when 'Hilly', 'Bee' and me were walking to our drinking place.
We were slobbering in thought for what keeps us all afloat,

How broken bones hurt more than the names that were thrown?

Instantly I had to kneel and pray.

To the hospital where he lay.

“It’s fine with me if your dad says okay.”
“If Bill will work to earn spending money

with foliage of unwritten verses.
In eloquence vibration of the recitation is heard.

Seeking a change of reality

Evil to her very bones, she had gigantic evil stones.
No one else would blatantly maim and kill.
The way she did, with happy thrill.

Hunting down whoever wronged her, was deadly Maleficent.

I can just see their faces, the laughs that I’ll get
People still milling and taking their places
No empty seats, no empty spaces.
