Four young fellas rode by around midday.
Sun was strong as whiskey scratching the back of a three day dried throat.
The three girls were out front and Ma came out pointing her loaded shotgun.
Riders like these and the hot sun wasn’t gonna be anything
but a barrel full o’ trouble.
They tipped their hats, asked for water.
Kitty with her blouse all open and them nubile breasts of hers just pouting
like peas in a pod just ready to pop.
Ma saw the way she was eying up that dark haired fella.
She just hollered at her to get her trouble seeking ass inside.
Ginny, the eldest girl, fetched them the water.
Seemed like they weren’t in any hurry to leave, so Ma fired off a shot,
whistled by the blond one’s ears so his horse darn near threw him.
Ma wasn’t the kind to tell anyone anything but once,
cos she said you can’t be wasting the Lord’s precious breath on hard eared scum.
They got the message well enough.
Don’t reckon we’ll be seeing them back this way again any time soon.
He’s so present
Ever present, so
He is God
God all mighty, ya?
Hallelujah
So inviting
Ever exciting
My, my, my, Father
He is God
He is God almighty
And He’s mighty
HE IS GOD YES HE IS GOD GOD ALMIGHTY-
Oh
And Woos
All of my sins
Jesus has wash them away
Did I say
Hey! Jesus has washed my sins away
And Oh, oh, oh and OH
So inviting
Ever exciting
My, my, my, Father
He is God
He is God almighty
And He’s mighty
HE IS GOD YES HE IS GOD GOD ALMIGHTY-
I got the message
I’ve learnt my lesson
He’s so present
Ever present, so
He is God
God all mighty, ya?
Hallelujah
HE IS GOD YES HE IS GOD GOD ALMIGHTY-
SELAH
Hallelujah
HE IS GOD YES HE IS GOD GOD ALMIGHTY-

“From anthology -“Exodus 15:2 The LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND SONG”
Four minute warning they said
At the height of the Cold War
Just exactly four minutes
Not a split second more.
Four minutes warning of
Nuclear missiles on track.
Enough time apparently
For us to fire back.
Having got the message
What would we to do next,
Grab our loving partners
And indulge in wild wild sex,
Then, if it was a false alarm
The panic of weeks or more
Hoping against hope our
Personal birth rate didn’t soar?
Have that final little ciggie
Because prospects look bleak
Ignoring the hard earned fact
You’d just been stopped week?
Let the rising tension
Push you over the edge
And take a final Scotch
In spite of taking the pledge?
And then the powers decided
Four minutes was too long.
The common herd would
Just use the time all wrong.
They’d just puff and panic
Scream, cry, and shirk
Instead of just stoically
Carrying on with their work.
All the lost productivity
All the pain and terror
Just because that button
Was maybe pushed in error.
There’s not even a minute now
They can’t be bothered to try
The worthy will be in shelters
And the peasantry will just die.
It’s called Survival Of The Fittest
It’s nothing to do with being healthy,
It’s just one of the many privileges
Of being ludicrously stinking wealthy.

I'm not sure exactly around where
But I know she's out there
With or without brown hair
I can't sit and wait like a lounge chair
I have to keep searching I'm now aware
Too much time I've been wasting it
Across all gradients
Her presence full of radiance
To me she is regarded in salience
She has a heart of gold
I start to not feel dark and cold
In every part of my soul
It's sad that carnage grows
Yet truly amazing how karma goes
I was down a path battling the hardest throes
Then I stopped and said it
She deserves lots of credit
Difficult to say if she got the message
And if what I meant was or was not effective
Beside all these pots and pans
Having honor can
Turn you into a stronger man
For you I offer my hand
Originally something I couldn't grasp
Now I've understood that
No need to always look back
Hard times should pass
In the present it's nice to share some good laughs
Sure at some point I could crash
But that's life not everything would last
Outlooks and outcomes always seemed grim and rough
The never ending pressure like I never did enough
I was beginning to get sick of much
But with a bit of luck
Plus willpower helped get rid of stuff
Since it's easy to give up
Yet to always go on and live is tough
Next thing you know it's all gone into dust
Funny how it's so different with her
My life doesn't wither
I always thought I'd be chopped liver
That the end would not differ
My choices were an odd mixture
Drowned my sorrows in lots of liquor
Was still lost no elixir
Until I finally got the picture
I was headed toward the gravesite
She helped change my way of life
With more than great advice
Day and night
She's a ray of light
When I went to break the ice
I figured she'd tell me to take a hike
But what she had to say was nice
"At times we all face a plight
May pay the price
Yet we can still make it right"
Years ago ... I once considered her my best friend
we would go shopping and stop for lunch or just tea
we liked to talk of all sorts of things
she complimented my writing and art
I liked her a lot
I trusted her too
and I thought she was loyal
I never imagined cruelty
that she would just turn
disappear from my life ... gone
with no reason or the explaining of why
I left messages
but with no reply
I got the message loud and clear
I tried to figure it out
for I knew that I had done nothing wrong
never spoke to her again or tried
and that's okay I was just fine with being me
though I did feel hurt and rejected, and
I felt like ... I could never trust again

Second Place
Early dawn I got the message. I knew - it was going to come. It really came. Fond childhood memories glided by …through my mind. After three hours, I am in the serene garden - he loved gardening. it’s still a sun-drenched morning, mellifluous birds are chirping, lush willow leaves are swaying in the breeze. Everything is the same. The day I am gone, same will happen, nothing will change, the world will not stop for a moment. But perhaps the world will stop for a moment in someone’s mind.
born brave, truly kind…
stood for neediest
strong and bold in death
a lighthouse beacon
voice tranquil ocean
refuge for me and many,
life with compassion
birds keep crooning songs,
breeze carries wistful music
sun bright ruby-radiant
hydrangea blossomed
how can he be not here?
There's a pack of jokers in your pack ...
Smiling, ducking, and dodging ...
Lying ...
Waiting on the perfect moment to mislead your psyche and attack.
So, stay ... ONE UP!
Especially now ...
For your cup is full... of richness and darkness ... sitting steady
On its saucer ...
and if you're not paying attention ...
hidden forces will come in and spill your most valued portions ...
So, watch and sip wisely ...
no matter the sweetness ...
For
your blow on the hotness
will allow you to see through the steams
vapored double-cross of him and her ... Can you see?
I know you got this!!!
"ONE UP"
So please believe when I tell you ...
Your surrounded by the devil's minions ...
Full of unforeseen judgements and opinions ...
Smiling in your face ...
while holding on to your heavenly rise
And
counting down on your multitude of possible ($) millions ...
So please take heed ...
It's not about your face and name ...
For
I'm giving you the key to light ...
continue the journey ... I'm not the enemy ...
I'm just clearing your path with ...
Spirit, knowledge, justice, and stability ...
You got the message, and this is not a bluff ...
Everything is not what it seems ...
So, go deep ...
Because there are some forces around you ...
that you can't feel nor see. I know you felt thee ...
"ONEUP"
THE END ...
All the questions in my head,
Making me mad.
You treated me as the enemy ever since,
I married into your family.
All I want was, your approval to accept me as I am,
But the moment I step into your house I was damned.
Not know what I do is right or wrong,
Because you already decided I do not belong.
I was so used to your rejections,
Without any affections.
It broke my spirit down,
And many nights in my tears I will drown.
You darned make sure I got the message how you feel,
Just in case I thought it was not real.
Punishing me, by ignoring my children,
When they seek your favor,
In return you gave them bad behavior.
No one of you come to our rescue,
When your son sold my house and left us on the street,
Where I have to struggle to land on my feet.
I have so many questions in my head,
That make me furious and you oblivious.
I try to understand why people like you,
Can be so heartless and careless.
You played the judge and jury,
When it comes to your sons’ fury,
You believed all his lies,
Even when I almost died.
I stop wondering why,
What you done to me, because, I am now free.
Free from you all, no beatings of my head against a wall.
I hope and pray that you will realized one day what you have
done.
You will live with regrets and hate, and that will be your fate.
Hold your tongue don't speak in haste.
Your words could hurt or humiliate.
Offer help and give them hope
don't take them down but lift them up.
You don't know about their inner lives
the big black dog could be close by
to take there hope and self esteem.
Please remember don't be mean.
The big black dog he does note care
and he can strike anywhere
the rich the poor tall or short
he really does not care, beware.
I didn't write this for a competition as such but on depression
and thought it got the message across and its something I feel
needs highlighting so entered in one of the any poem comps contest number 223
comp entry 19/11
Freedom I long to hear your bells ring
If you only knew what it would do to me
Auspice and a pair of Jacks, its sudden destruction
And the Poetry World's composure was completely destroyed
As we complete the circle of Life and Avalanche and bury the Poets
The organ plays and the funeral starts
As they compete with a man of God
Angel's and Chariots of fire
A demonstration of God's Power on earth
Extraordinary as her performance, I express myself
Court is convened now, she got the message
A star falls, I expand,
Lost Treasure discovered inside ourselves
How could I deny the fact
You gave me strength when no one else was ever there!
