Premium Member Poetic Piece On the Pitch

There is a calming sense 
When flipping a jaded pence 
A bit coin motion 
Needing a peaceful mind potion 
A pound here 
And a beer 
Does appear 
From the dear 
Working the bar 
Remembering a war scar 
Watching sport 
Drinking not enough to spend time in a court 
Lighting a smoke 
With an innocent choke 
Calming down hearing a humorous joke 
International football match is on 
Artistically illustrating what to do with the bomb 
A subtle tap on the shoulder 
If ones attitude is getting colder 
Right wing, left wing forges forward 
Birds in formation stronger and bolder 
Attacking one man defending a net 
Using a foot as a gunner on a fighter jet 
Targeting a defenseless gent 
Protecting the land from the aggressor that was sent 
He can use hands to catch the ball 
Diffusing an invasion punching it over a wall 
Creating a corner kick 
Staying vigilant waiting for the next trick 
At times cards are pulled out 
Making everyone scream and shout 
Yellow turns to red 
Ending the day playing dead 
There is a box on the field 
Connected a deal 
Break the rules in a certain place 
Penalties and Punishment differs not showing any grace 
Outside the area show the stiff upper lip 
Inside prepare to take a hit 
Stand there in line 
Not able to decline 
Imitate the staring down 
That happens when an enemy controls the town
While on an attack there could be a whistle 
Aborting the shot on goal missile 
Offside the flag is lowered 
“Retreat retreat enemy are now the controller”
Could be heard 
Scattering back waiting for orders to return 
Forty five minute clock that continues to run 
Until play is done 
Broken up into halves 
Hopefully the event opens communication paths 
It seems the game has no action 
Until a royal is distracted 
A scoring mission successful in the end 
And an advisor interruption needing to defend 
Athletic competition is classified as peace 
Losers are not deceased 
Instead it is an entertaining show 
Having nice pace and flow 
Crowning a winner 
Before both oppositions talking over dinner

Did Their Lives Matter, Part I

You see all of these protesters out
chanting and screeching on the TV,
convinced that we’ll solve all our problems
Ii we just get rid of the police.
They claim that they’re targeting people
merely of the color of their skin,
though by the per capita numbers
whites and Latinos tak it one the chin.
But they keep screaming about privilege
in a strangely religious fervor,
and use it as a helpful excuse
to release all their pent-up anger.
But when it comes to dark-skinned people,
whose interests they claim to pursue,
they all proclaim that ‘Black Lives Matter,’
but they sure don’t’ act as if they do.

First let’s look at all the businesses
that the rioters torched and destroyed,
they were mostly in inner cities,
so the end result we can’t avoid
is that the people they claim to help
were the same people who worked those stores,
which means countless folks with much melanin
won’t have productive jobs anymore.
Their own siblings, mothers, and fathers
bow have no method to bring in cash.
Basically, their lives have been ruined,
I wonder did they care about that?
Did looters realize that their actions
would make their communities much worse?
they all proclaim that ‘Black Lives Matter’
…except for those they put out of work.

And then there is the late David Dorn,
a dark-skinned grandfather, former cop,
who saw the evil burning his town
and went outside to protect the block,
hoping to provide security
for the pawn business of a good friend.
For wanting to protect his hard work
vile looters brought him to his end.
But strangely you do not hear his tale
when you watched the evening news at night,
the rioters get interference
but a good man’s death is not in sight.
Not one of these damn ideologues
care that a hero’s life now is done,
I guess that black life didn’t matter,
since his narrative was the ‘wrong’ one...

CONCLUDES IN PART II.

Premium Member The Abyss

Beyond the known likes the unknown; 
That, darkened abyss where, 
nothing seem real until it’s experienced.
Tomorrow hides there; 
huddled in a black crevice and ready to spring on cue.
Everyone will experience her secrets when, 
she decides to reveal them.
Sometimes this cruel mistress preys on,
 those least expecting it; 
she may tempt first; 
her attractive freebies usually, 
aren’t worth taking.

The abyss also harbors the dark side of the human; 
choices lie there which, 
turn a human into a hero or a monster.
Some choose the hero within and fate steps in to hail them.
Others choose the monster; no glory hails a monster; 
they seal their own fate in empty darkness and 
can never crawl out.

The labyrinthine abyss feeds on human ego; 
gnawing away everything, including the soul.
Heroes are the only ones to,
Escape…their taste is bitter to the abyss’s palate.
Monsters love control; 
once relegated to the abyss they, 
can only terrorize and destroy before they are 
devoured and they love targeting heroes.  

On earth, heroes are that coveted, bull’s-eye; 
the monsters take aim and fire away but, 
they never realize that, 
taking down a hero always backfires.
When it does; they abyss dines heartily.

Premium Member She Takes No Guff

She breathes honesty into the bedroom
Dispelling liars and troublemakers
Flinging lechers into the fires of hell
She takes no guff

Sure at first some thought she would go easy
Targeting her at the bar
Sidling up, expecting her to fold
Someone to take home and fondle, possibly molest

She disarms them with her light green eyes
Her lilting laugh, her pretense at being inebriated
She gives them the little girl smile
So they will take her home.

When her eyes go amber and her face goes gray
She takes their lives, trying to conquer their souls
Some wail and scream
Others go quietly, knowing they deserve it

She gives no mercy
No hope
No relief
For at one time
When she was young
None was given to her.

Victim of Love

Your projectile language,
Has shattered my porcelain soul.
The ballistics of your words,
Trace back to your beautiful performance.

An arsenal of lethal…language,
Spoken from the chamber of your heart.
Targeting my virgin emotions,
…Piercing my self-esteem,
……Ricocheting your madness in my life.
“I love you”…dissipates in your smoke of lies.

I can still taste the gunpowder residue,
Off the barrel of your moist perpetrating lips.
The evidence still remains at the scene of the crime.
Stained sheets keep…dirty hotel secrets,
My wounded spirit collapsed to the floor of my body,
As the echoes linger within my shattered soul.

Perfection -Part 4-

His voice soft and cracking,
Wanting desperately to start conversation. . .
Discomfort only letting out a few words from my trembling mouth. . .
The center of the audience,
Still alone in the embarrassment of my own silent, screaming ponders. . .
His laughing. . .
Laughing again to help me notice that he’s laughing for me—
That he wants me to join in too. . .
He reminds me I am overthinking again. . .
Sadly, in this sickened mind,
I oblige . . . a curl of a smile from my lips…
Noise coming out. . . JUST NOISE. . .
My mind elsewhere,
Not even laughing at the film in front of us,
Feeling pleasure in the superior feeling that he cannot hear me screaming something else,
Laughing at his evident confidence,
While others beside,
Are in other worlds. . .
All around,
Feeling the superiority of their own thoughts, no doubt. . . 
Curiosity like a cheap flashlight,   
Flickering on and off,
And then losing battery…
GET A GRIP YOU FOOL! 
They are just enjoying a goddamn movie. . .
But we don’t care for a moment. . .
They want us to know that the fiction is far more exciting than our insignificant reality,
Temporary partnership. . .
And I want to give him attention,
Because I want him not to feel what I feel every sad day of my life. . .
I want him because people unwant him. . .
And he knows that they are not looking. . .
But I am. . .
And I always have been looking, 
Targeting you from the crowd since day one,
Steering my attention away from the braced teeth,
The doubled chins,
The collateral cussing, 
That guy's flexing ass,
The buttered crab in false paradise…
His elbow stabbing into my world.....
And I feel awful knowing the thoughts will never reach his own,
Just for a second. . .
And then I thank God that he is not a mind reader,
Otherwise he’d be reading his life away,
In the sticky pages of my thoughtless, void existence. . . 
I realize it is just him and me in the room now. . .
As you pour your glass of rum,
We ignore your existence,
Looking in each other’s eyes in that fraction of a millisecond. . .
Nobody knows us. 
Our minds are bedridden in disease and frictional bewilderment. . .
No one can ever truly see it. . . 
No one, not even I,
Understands these thoughts. . .
And it is sickening to realize . .
But. . .
That is the perfection I have come to know.

Life and Death

Unknown, unseen, the invisible demon has arrived to annihilate 
Anybody out in open becomes a pray of his wrath
Soon gasping for breath, gone forever
Such is his might that no one dares to go near dead body
Lest they be killed mercilessly

Huddled at home, a life of scare
Millions dead, count increasing
Governments battling the hidden enemy
Nothing is working 
All are living a caged life at home

This monster has spread its tentacles all over the earth
Dead bodies fill crematory, human population coming down drastically
Surprisingly he is targeting only humans

Nature, trees, animals, birds, insect, air, water, all are happy
They are glad the monster came to save them from human atrocities 

Land animals still living in little space, now roam about more freely
Water bodies are relieved as they are no longer being used as a big dustbin
Trees are breathing fresh air
Birds are chirping merrily
No honking of vehicles, no loudspeakers, no loud human noises

It seems this monster is a friend of all except humans
He wants to kill humans for atrocities committed against others

Man's ego stands crushed 
One who thought he was the greatest
stands helplessly in front of a microscopic creature.

Earth belongs to all, live and let live
Stop destroying earth, or I will come kill you
Message is loud and clear!

Premium Member Barcelona

Another terrorist atrocity has happened again
This time it was Barcelona and that my friends is Spain
My heart felt love goes to those affected
These terrorists need found and dejected

Stay alert everyone they may strike anywhere
Be vigilant and stay aware
They have hit London and Paris
They call themselves ISIS

They have tried to install fear to us all
But their the only ones who will fall
They will not win their religious fight
Peace and tranquillity that’s what’s right

There tactics have been very similar
Killing, hurting with a van or a car
Driving at speed in built up areas 
Targeting innocent bystanders

These people really are cowardly 
I just wish that they would see
They have been totally brain washed 
Reasons and thoughts turned to slosh

Sending healing thoughts to all people there
From the western world we really care
The terrorist should be behind a large fence
For indiscriminate acts of murder and violence

You are the scurvy of this earth
Your radical beliefs buried under turf
You can not see that you won’t win
What you do is a really a  Sin

So ISIS we won’t take it anymore
Face up to facts you’ve lost your war
Go back home and leave our shores
Violence and murder we don’t adore
