The Will to War.

We are living in a difficult time for European  leaders
They are preparing us for a war that will go on forever
beneficial for the manufacturing industry
They don't want a real war, but need psychoses 
of war and steal our democracy 
people in the Nordic countries are asked to buy
food to reserve at home should a crisis occur  
What are they talking about? Most of us live from
paycheck to paycheck
Furthermore, we are asked to zeal our homes 
And stock up on ion tablets, do they think that
Everybody lives in a suburb, and most of us have
flats, often cramped, in big cities 
Our right to speak our  minds is undermined by
those who are social democrats in name
There was a time in the sixties and seventies 
when democracy in the north was vibrant and
alive, although you could freely shout  
without being censored, but we could open  
a business or settle somewhere else without 
Should you feel aggrieved, the X will listen
If you disagree with your missives

Smile For All

We had life with total convictions.
Knowing very well of hopeless times.
Nothing seemed to bring joy,
Just to stay patiently for our hearts to be torn apart.
Making us find truth been undermined.
Where do we fall victims?
Awkward presented on the ceiling.
Draining the power of everyone's feeling.
Hello,cool down the tension.
You got to be casual sometimes,
Forget the secret surrounding your beginning.
It's the starting point of every magnate,
And telling you aboutg myself demands a smiling face.
The best scheme to help you stand as an ace.
Which would attach my soul to glorious days.
Happy is the seeker of tender affection,
Gracefully does the imagination swings within better imperfection.
Yes,the beauty of intention,
That's what we desire for awesome reception.

The Government Department of Love

In the bed, under cover
Where surveillance cameras live and breathe 
Where biologics lose their way, their cause
As locomotives thrust through the tunnels
Of love, of trust, of lust once favored by the lost
In the room once cherished as exclusive
Occupied by so many members of the state
Undermined by sheets as white as snow, as ghostly as they go
Untarnished in the light of privacy called night

Satisfied by pillow talk, so soft, that’s all
Until the film develops a sense of humor
Splashed pictures printed as Headline news on paper
Blasts out the evidence of one person seen with another
Discernible only to those who dare to be amused
And those who dare to look away must be depraved
According to the state

Premium Member Aeromancy

Pecking its way out of the golden light
Songbirds arise non-feathered when they hatch
Feathered wings lift them high in upward flight
Crested larks lay colourful eggs that match 

Aeronautical flying birds in love
In the air, romancing like Valentines
Returning to where they were quite beloved
Where their hearts weren't always undermined

I know you do verily love the uplift
Even when your spirit flies to the bayside
Where imagination soars adrift
While I'm trekking on with my mighty hindsight

Bright light flies from the summits each morning
A reddish glow adorns those summits,  recording:

Alpenglow!


Tired

I’m a man whose tired and worn
Empty and dead on my feet,
Petered out, played out, pooped and torn
Burn out, broke down and beat.
Drowsy, droopy, drooping drained
Dog tired, done in, done for,
Exasperated, enervated empty faint
Overtaxed, overworked and bored

Sick of, sleepy, spent and stale
Haggard, run down, all in
Consumed, collapsing, asleep, annoyed
Exhausted, bygone and barren
Ramshackle, rickety, run-down and frail
Bedraggled, broken-down and creaky
Threadbare, tottering, tired and used
Feeble, fragile and flimsy

Out of shape, out of gas,  done in and feeble
Gone to seed, soft,  incapacitated
Listless, washed out, weakened, on the ropes
Undermined, fatigued, prostrated.
Discontented, dissatisfied, tacky and dull
Jaded, glum and gloomy
Sick and tired, up to here, driveling, drab
Sated, down and weary
Befuddled, unsteady, wobbly and faint
Pallid, pale and lean
Stupefied, staggering, slaphappy, subdued
Oh damn I got to go pee.

Premium Member Words Are Going Missing

Words are Going Missing


Words are going missing……and no one seems to care!!
Red lined!!  Redacted!!!  Clandestinely subtracted!!

Their meanings have been undermined
to alter documents - long signed

cater to the lunacy
that altered words will set us free.

Words are being conjured…gene splicing gone awry
because our conversations may be heard by passersby,

someone may be offended
because our language wasn’t blended

certified as neutralized
words no longer “Super Sized”.

Words are being muffled….silenced by the mob
demanding that we serve them – fresh corn- without the cob.

Words are being “weaponized” – the arming of perception
a conversational “Cold War” – exchanges of deception.

Words are going missing……gaps upon the pages
trapped within this horror…….a poet’s heart still rages.

Broken Cello

delirious and incoherent 
or deceived and undermined
often the woman in his life
caused such.
His wealth allowed him to
afford the company of
 beautiful women some of which
were neither friendly or kind
his current beau was rumored
to be involved with several men
through the area
One said she like a cat
impulsiveness, and agreeableness
allowed her to seem kind yet to know her
and those that did often keep a certain distance
keeping  a level of distance to obtain
a friendship the optimal level of intimacy
where she'd seemed busier than she actually was.
inconsistencies were often laughed off
a smile and kiss a romp now and then
she thought it would satisfy him, leaving her to appear
unapproachable and real opposed to eagerness
or over eagerness, loving and kind.
A friend of her.

Both in fairness and right

The days of "Good Faith" were enacted
To ensure all people of both
Populated regions to stand down and 
Withdraw from the actions of current
Conditions in the light of
Diplomacy. 
Ignoring current conditions might
A unified stance on both parts might bring a condition
Of calm that causes the unity of
All to
See the future. 
When all want peace in every corner of disputed areas a process of unification can began
to start to heal. The effects and effects of
tension to be neocated through treaty. 
Might the will of the people
In all see the ending of one era to begin the
Start of a new area. The cold science of demand fostered
By the need to exist. 
The need of all involved in a process that is universal. 
Stand down and withdraw.
The need of the world to take president of
the wants of fractured individuals united
to disrupt.
To allow the new interiorals to make anylisist
And those who opposed to agree
Structured from history and the dreams
Of the unrealistic faction. A people united for the good of
Current and future conditions.
Both in fairness and in right.

The wines of tomorrow are the juices of today
Undebated and with question the bragging rights of field to table the expertise of the farmer.
He speaks neither in tense that his wisdom
Is neither exploited or undermined.

I’m just a simp

It costs nothing to be kind
Our morals and values may not be aligned
From a bad start in life
I don’t deal in strife
I don’t do mind games
Or make false claims
I started writing poems of self therapy
Something of unfamiliarity 
But writing is harmless
Good bad or bizarreness
People take kindness for weakness 
Others take it for bleakness
I’m a boring and simple man
A man with no ambition or plan
No form of real education
No massive drive or aspiration
A plain and simple mind
So easily undermined 
People and creatures take advantage
Have no problem giving me a disadvantage 
I just take it on the chin
And swear like a sailor in sin
To myself and the ones I trust
Thinking I need to be more robust 
Whether it is animals or employers
They know they can use powers
To make me their simp
To them I’m just a wimp
Who they can mould
And I can be controlled 
Just ask my pets
They place bets
To see how many treats they can get
I’m no threat
They win every time
They bark and chime
Look at me with those big loving eyes
A cry and those big sighs 
The garden birds act hard done by
When the food is out of supply
I will be the simp and give them what they want
Life spanks me and I am a servant
As I am just a simp.
