Double standards

zero tolerance
for stupidity
yet here I am
putting up
with your
shenanigans

Love Of Money, Mistrust, And Betrayal Causes Heinous Crime In Society

The greatest snakes is not in the woods,
Rather, it lives in the family
Or in the circle of friends.

In this life, whether in work,
Family, feelings or friends
Honesty is still the best policy.

Those who are not tried in the fire,
Are worth not for gold but a metal
They become Judas, Ananias and Sapphira.

The love of money always betray

In an Instant

             In an Instant

A towering temple of trust 
Is not built in a day, in an instant
But spans over years and years;

From laying of its base of sincerity
To its inner shrine of beauty
It is wrapped with the cement of honesty
Sprinkled with water of

Mistrust Issues

Mistrust is like a thorn
Fiercing deep into the skull
It's like adding salt to the burn
Excruciating beyond pain appall
Akin to disloyalty and treachery 
Mistrust is misgiving not careful
Towards a downtrodden bribery
Misgiving against success is painful
This is crisis in attitude and morality
Without following rule and its sanctity.

Mistrust

How can I trust you again?
You took my love for granted 
You thought you saw something better 
And ran off when the chance came

You’re vile lies 
Slip through your soft lips
Your smile tries to bring me peace
But the words you say torment me

Is it right for me 
To give you another chance 
Is it wrong

In foggy winter of mistrust

In foggy winter of mistrust,
To warm up heart in hope of sun,
To dry my nagging doubts to dust,
Scorch misunderstandings in June,
I waited with hope till undone.

And yet, not else I could but hope
For my long chilling heart to thaw,
Cajole it, give it a long rope,
Wait for a warmer tomorrow,
Or just to my thankless fate bow.

Nation of Mistrust

As the leaders begin their power stride

A communion of separate opinions is established

Through sacrificial disgust, the sense of mistrust blossoms

Weariness of our commander, promotes our nationwide slander

Blazing off the political grease which clogs our arteries of need

Through the desire of greed, we all are victims of the lies

Misguided by the flapping flag

Once unison can be

The Death of Mistrust

Do not be careless
don't act as to forget
for this would be perilous
we would be sure to regret

our memories are beloved
don't let this to neglect
for you are not unloved
the two of us connect

till all is not forgotten
in this vision that is real
for both of us misbegotten
truth seeks out what we feel

so be careful with this amore
don't

Fake Happiness

There are many tricks to the slave trade the face we wear is one.
Cheerful Smiling faces, happy high fives dancing under the sun.
Cover the truth as best you can is instructed to every man.
To fake-it-til-you-make-it urged throughout ones’ Life span.

Look upon the inner being with open eyes of better seeing.

Pretend that you are gleeful, full

Sonnet 57 'How Deep the Stings That Make Men Mistrust Love'

How deep the stings that make men mistrust Love,
And women fly from comforts that Love brings,
And deeper is the poison in poisoned rings
That longing hearts refuse the thinking of.
There is no other station that can wound
As deeply, or as surely, as Love stabs
No other hook grabs deeply as Love grabs
And no lute, more than Love,

No Good Deed

Try to do good
Smile. Be nice
When asked for a favor
Don't have to think twice
I 'm charitable, generous
Believe that kindness is key
Trust good karma is cyclical
It'll come back to me
But disillusion and pain
Is all I get in return
Lies and backstabbing
Somehow tables get turned
I'm portrayed as a villain
That I am to blame
For all your misfortune
It's part of

Mistrust

My words depart as I try 
To explain these happenings
Mistrust has poke its ugly head
And is dragging my family apart
Husband against wife
Mother against daughter
Brother against sister
We all are pointing blaming fingers at bloodline
Burning our eyes with hatred
With no prophecy of it ever ending
I’m on a cross road not knowing where to look
Lost in flying words
Words

Mama Said

The screaming, the yelling, the kicking, the clawing.
All because he did not get his own way.
He did yesterday and all was fine.
This is the first day of kindergarten. He cannot be the ruler here

The hollering, the shrieking, the smacking, the ridiculousness.
High drama today because his mother says he does not have to listen to us.
