many have waited
we should be vaccinated
premeditated
we batted and sparred
for things had a disregard
removed and did discard
God we want you please
stop tornadoes ripping through trees
warm up and not freeze
trouble up they stirred
we have heard some say each herd
made picture be blurred
while we would ponder
Trump had been warmonger
is here no longer
did have a divorce
no longer are on same course
must consider source
Who chooses murder thinks she has to
Thinks that murder is the only way to freedom
But murder ties you down, hey?
premeditated movement
across the chessboard of life
deliberate placement
of chess pieces intent
on obtaining victory by
any means necessary
in order to achieve the
ultimate goal of capturing
the o so coveted precious heart once again
I lay and ponder all night on things you have sought,
like seeking all the darkness wanting to get caught,
your mania and depression made you distraught.
Your suicide was definitely aforethought,
and now your labeled the woman who never fought.
With all the goodness in the world you could have brought,
but you chose to perish without a single thought.
Your premediated careless death was so wrought,
a terrible and unnecessary onslaught.
No jewelry or monuments could have been bought,
to make you stay, for you were filled with so much fraught,
I think about all the goodness you could have taught.

Premeditated
The pain you inflict
The trap that you set
Ordered by obsession
Made of twisted ropes
Premeditated
Unintentional wounds
Can be forgiven
Thoughtless words and acts
Like sand through fingers
For premeditated Spite
More grace than usual needed
To forgive
Born in hate
Rooted in misconceptions
Fed by jealousy
Premeditated murder of a soul
A higher sentence
Longer time
Unforgivable crime
Premeditated

For Craig Cornish's Reverse Contest
the man sat outside a lit bar one night
feeling small, his worth steadily shrinking
knew he didn't, shouldn't want to, despite
a growing desire to lose himself drinking
the angst, on his face was easily read
as "just one quick one, then home" entered
instead of "I really need a meeting instead"
"to get back on track, get my life centered"
the wagon he was falling out of, an '86 Ford
clicked as the engine got colder before him
the old realities came back, and were ignored
he too, grew colder, outlook dark and grim
but grace can land between the parking lines
to reflect sober road with a truth unblinking
and show life's higher powers have higher designs
to save an alcoholic from premeditated thinking

Did you ever consider the permanent damage you could cause
Did you consider that a perfect plan
has hidden flaws
Did you ever think of how my heart would break
This constant pain is too much to take
Your murderous schemes in which you plot
In your trap I am forever caught
I cared for you in times that were tough
But I guess that it was never enough
I was always loyal
never did I cheat
but no matter how hard I tried
I could never compete
My love within
Could not help me win
You can't get a prize
When your disqualified
Unsatisfied, displeased
I am your disease
A disease you must wipe out
Killing the weed before it can sprout
Out of anger and frustration
comes your premeditation
Left with debris
From your killing spree
I must move on
follow my Herder
Watch out for the wolf
Plotting his premeditated murder
