Long Revolts Poems

The Bedouins, bequeathed with the sacred beauty of paradise harsh,

I will never approve
it, and neither
Would you, dear
friend of...

For once, man, be serious
This is liberty hall, you know
And all the fairies want a tumble
Even though that is mother-in-law…
You shouldn’t miscarry injustice!

Sure, fad, I apologize, really serious:
I’m quite un-particular you see
About who goes west...

I

(A lone voice whispers)

Do you still miss me before we were slowly destroyed and betrayed 

Would you tell anyone the truth of how we were played

By the demon associated with jealousy called Leviathan.

Love is overrated 
Misunderstood, miscalculated.
It is the morning mist,
A dew rested on the grass.
In the warmth, it ceases to exist.
with the heat of the sun, it's gone.
Love demands caring, 
Demands nourishment,
The constant attention of 5minus4...

Alas I fear, we part again.
Time won’t still, for you my friend.
Tender thoughts, refuse to help.

Time does pass, how long or when?
To meet, to see, to hold you then.
Distance...

The matriarchal deeper
and therefore slower growing Slorax
plants rich networks of Truffula Trees,
restores justice to Her Earth's unitarian community,
cooperatively owned and managed.

When excess harvests feed greed,

less competitive
colonized fields
over-ruled by authorities to punish trees for...

When peace and negotiation can go no further

Does not even try to find peace if he can

For man has turned against...

I hate the verse, despise its embrace,
Yet, a poet I am, in this ironic space.

No, I genuinely loathe poetry's face,
It revolts within me, words of ignorance trace.
Yet, within its lines, a refuge I find,
