One Shot

In spite of all your riches
you eschew what prophets do
Basilicas you build to self
with time but empty pews

Wealth deadly suicidal
when wielded as a gun
Whose target sits between your eyes
with one shot zero-sum

(Dreamsleep: November, 2023)

Jack's One Shot

Jack was on the baseball team,
But he never got to play.
One day, he got his chance.
He went up to the plate and hit the ball, CRACK!
It went so far that it hit the fence and went smack.
He ran all the way to third,
But in his ear was a bee.
The bee just kept his calm buzz.
Jack

Splashing Strange Memory At One Shot

Splashed an incident from my psyche all off a sudden ...
which was submerged deep in my sub-conscious mind.
Let me apprise you a short memoir of my past~
I was studying in school exactly a decade ago..
during which I had to witness the death of my graceful neighbour 
who possessed one boy and a girl baby.
She killed

One Shot

Both truth and lies.
Resides in darkest white.
Stays in solitude.
In need of none.

Until someone came in.
Changed the very core.
Shaded with dazzling colors.
The someone became everything.

Lived happiness with sorrow.
Shed tears with joy and pain.
Lived with it.
Settled with it.

Broke a promise.
Reflected with guilt.
Took all the blame.
In agony of apologizing

Now in the edge.
Felt empty inside.
Scared of losing someone.
Still hoping.

One Shot At Glory

J-ust one shot at glory, 
E-arly morn twelfth of May; 
N-o way will you ever let the rare chance slip away. 

T-his is one shot at glory, 
I-n spite of the opposition; 
B-ecause of your true faith, 
U-se your determination. 
R-emain eager to receive, 
C-rown of life in the holy city; 
I-t's a must-win situation,

One Shot

This is life.
Wake up and smell the gunpowder.  
Spin the chamber, pull the trigger.
One shot.
Click.  Silence.  
And just like that, 
I win what I already had.
An opportunity to continue breathing. 
Thank god.  
I guess.  

This is just life.
I want to feel it the way I used to.
When one shot was

Premium MemberEnjoy Life, We Only Get One Shot

We ascertain pleasure in reliving our past,
Though lurking matters often bankrupt our day;
For that portion of living in chronicles is cast,
This content can't change much to our dismay.

We justify retrieve as value to years emerging,
That beyond this day's history we will refrain.
Our subconscious is active with incessant urging,
For it realizes we shan't pass this way

One Shot To Fame

Hungry
starving for a chance 
gotta make it
gotta do it 
this is it
final option no turning back
will I fail 
or succeed
don't know
won't know
until I try
might make it then again maybe not
who knows 
no one knows
Jesus knows
have to put it
all on him and believe
with that said
gotta take this chance
might not get another one
this is it
I'm going for

One Shot

If we ever meet
If you ever see me 
     Where shall I stand?
     Where shall it be?
From dreams deep and dark I dreamt
Frequently during night and day I visit it
     More times than you will ever know
     More often

People running shouting ''WAR!!'' 
Innocent dying its, uncalled for 
Families crying for their loved ones no longer more ... 
Babies crying dont know, what for 
Not knowing what's next instore 
People walking with fear out the door 
AND HERE I AM wanting TO

One Shot One Moment

One shot, one moment, what does that mean
Embody the new, or remain what is seen
Transcend the critics with the motive for green
What we concoct requisite is what we’re committed to 
Destroyed or developed, that commitment defines you
Expend your time and suffuse your ambition
Talk with actions, so no one can’t listen
One shot, one moment, spotlight on
