Nazriel Rising
Nazriel Rising Small World Ace
She was as pretty as ever on this night
With me smitten to bits with her aura
As we met on our usual pickup location
Nazriel that one who so compliments me
We were on an official business briefing
One of Epic proportions with intricacies
This time the operation was offshores
With me providing intel logistic n liaison
We

A Woman's Prerogative
Jimmy asked Janet out on a date
Janet told Jimmy he'd have to wait
Jimmy chose not to wait for Janet
And chased every girl on the planet
Then Janet said she may have been hasty
Thought Jimmy's offer really quite tasty
Janet told Jimmy she'd have her own way
Jimmy and Janet got married today

A Poets Prerogative
A POET’S PREROGATIVE
We right our souls as we
Write our souls because we must,
Or like confetti, the words'll bust
Out from us willy-nilly, and
Poets cannot let words simply sully out,
Cannot scatter and strew them about,
Without some kind of form
(Even formless forms like this need be).
And somehow we get it there,
Intentionally, we put

Your Prerogative
Nature has given you a Face
Expressions are your prerogative
Nature has given you Limbs
Compassionate deeds are your prerogative
Nature has given you Mind
Divine thoughts are your prerogative
Nature has given you Heart
Loving all is your prerogative
Nature has given you Life & Death
Moments in between is your prerogative

Citizens Prerogative
Citizens Prerogative
In this clime of ours,
citizens right is an illusion,
the subjugation leaves a dent.
Our legs wobble with weakness,
our lungs go dry with thirst,
Dreams bleached in graves.
From one mendacious tale to another,
It's a cycle of everyday struggles,
and there's no end in sight.
Amid sighs and sobs,
amid groans and tears,
we pray for light and hope.
Where freedoms boulevard

Loser's Prerogative
I was clawing at the cost.
Breathing in monster’s breath on me is lost.
I had lost my abilities in my sleep.
But I earned something new to keep.
Sympathy lives in me in knots.
In my blood, sympathy clots.

It's Your Prerogative
In this day and age you've gotta be positive
To combat the negatives, it's your prerogative
Tell silly jokes
Smiles they provoke
Mission accomplished, here's to all you novices

Her Prerogative
They had fought.
He left without a word while she was sleeping.
She threw on the gown she had worn for him the night before,
pushed off the china vase and blooms he had given her.
She listened to it crash to the floor and sat on the window sill
where the bouquet and container had been.
She was alone but at

Female Prerogative Or Why Woman Are Odd
Today
She does not want me any more
I am old and past my prime
I can sense its time to go
I can see it in her eyes
She is not happy any more
She shouts and screams or cries
There are no kind words any more
Just insults all the time
She cares not for me any more
She told me so, she

Prerogative of An Oppressed Freshman
each stroke of greased fingers on the mohawk
was a result of a genius work of art
an outlet where my soul barely peeks
yet you cut with your hypocritical shears and your rusty hand
and you call it discipline
and you call it concern
I call it ********
the shadows on my
eyelids were davincis and picassos
sketched in a magnificent representation

It's Your Prerogative
To cleanse your life, empty out it's past and move on, to leave no explanations, no pity, no shame. To usher the insensitive to the living and the not, to delete faces from your photographs and smile once more. I'm owed no explanation, as I was never bought and was never returned, but my past

Henry Iv: Prerogative and Piety
Enterprising Henry IV declares suzerainty over state
Xenophobic princes seek the royal prerogative to abate
Cautious king uses diplomacy, threats his minions to subjugate
Old rivals in Saxony Henry's consolidation with tyranny equate
Morose princes in the hinterland seek to avoid a similar fate
Manic King Henry sends his forces the opposition to eradicate
Unifying his kingdom, Henry dispatches puppets, builds

Prerogative
When I was a boy of ten years old
I made my mama proud
That's when I learned a brand new word
That I'd often say outloud
I had heard other people use it
But I didn't know what it meant
So that's when I looked in Webster's
Where many hours were spent
Prerogative was my brand new word
I'd say it everywhere
I even
