Premium Member Once upon perdition :re-edited:
The apostate looked out his window, and started to believe As genuflecting pylons sent ramifications through the trees Chaos questioned reason, hoping for a guilty plea but the world was too far gone, so began the killing spree The Crier rang his leper bell: “Our town’s a godless apparition” Filling hearts with envy of a once-dreaded condition Now the King prayed for calm, in a pagan act...

UTOPIA OF HAPPINESS
UTOPIA OF HAPPINESS How to be happy like this, in a dystopian society, with a flawed organization! How to follow the right path, amid so many crooked options! How to chart a course amid so many uncertain paths... Life like this is less than virtuous, more than an invincible war! It's like swimming in the open sea with no land in sight, marching in an immense desert, without...

Premium Member How the Heart Forges
I wake— each dawn a slender promise shoulders gilded, by hesitant sun. The world, wide as longing real as the air I breathe— crests of mountains waiting horizons keeping their counsel. My heart, uncertain…. ventures like a melodic wind carried on— searching for a sign where wonder grows wild within. Between the strums of my old guitar and laughter in morning dew I surrender: each note of yesteryear kindles today’s quiet lesson A...

OF DIVINE GUIDANCE AND VICTORY Let’s be as Noah, Arking liberation waves To shores of justice: Let’s be in self-forgiveness; Divine wisdom guiding us:- It's not a Stockholm:- Rather, it’s America’s Oppressor Syndrome! Such unique shared infection: Victims equally psychosed:- Self-liberation, Begins with divine wisdom; Ask, and it’s given: When we make human mistakes, She will guide their corrections:- Always be aware, Liberation can’t be bought; It’s fought for and won:- Let’s get to...
