a quiet fairytale
Why so quiet he asked most sincerely,
I don’t want to rattle the skeletons in the closet said she,
the noise of rattling bones stirs up dust bunnies
and the mites of secrets lost in debris
at the bottom of old trunks and older tapestry bags~
You can tell me anything he declared earnestly,
old mites and dust bunnies have never scared me,
and though my own secrets are most mundane
they’ll hold hands with your skeletons and muffle those bones
so we can live life forever quietly, comfortably.
yes... your implosions
can prevent
ill-timed explosions
what will be theory
times have been sad and dreary
they could be cheery
what is perturbing
politician disturbing
we must be curbing
what God would have meant
sinning will always prevent
do need His consent
what they had inferred
things will become untethered
that should be detered
Attraction of the force of gravity
Prevents us from falling out into space
What will prevent we mankind
From falling into evils
Education maybe
Religion maybe
Our conscience maybe
Maybe we're born innocent and harmless
And we gradually pick up evils because of greeds and temptations
Maybe we're born a saint
But finally lost in the fight against evils
Whatever it's
A salvation by the almighty God is needed
Just like the enormous force of gravity
Two parallel lines will never meet
Even to the infinity
All the evils and greeds of mankind
Are preventing us from finding
The truths and logics of life
We are travelling in two parallel lines
With God and the universe
Truths and logics are hidden and twisted
Many politicians always prevent us
From finding the truths and logics of life
So that they can overrule the true world
The truths and logics of life
So that they can control, monitor and dominate the people
We have to be alert and wise
We have to divert our directions
Will we
Must Prevent from Being Bent
in any event
must prevent from being bent
by using cement

Prevent Instance
What we will need is a preclusion,
Which will always prevent effusion,
And left out,
Without a doubt,
So we can avoid all the confusion.
Jim Horn
Prevent From Doings Things Bad
From doing things bad we should prevent,
Them being sure to obtain God's consent;
Rules read;
Prayers said,
And now we understand what He meant.

Barbara Bush ceremony was something else.
Incredible pipe organ.
How To Prevent School Shootings
By Elton Camp
Americans, with guns have a love affair
To speak against them, only the brave dare
Vicious school shootings don’t faze ’em
They love guns and continue to praise ’em
There is a simple solution, they say
Post guards so it won’t be that way
With armed guards at the school door
There won’t be such shootings anymore
But here’s a reality they won’t face
Shootings continue at an army base
With armed guards there, galore
Shootings continue just as before
If a military base we can’t protect
School security we can’t expect
Such deaths are the price we pay
So gun lovers can have their way
“Guns don’t kill,” they will prate
Deaths continue at an alarming rate
A deal-killer was needed to prevent a disaster,
the service company couldn't exist anymore
if the president hadn't taken a lower bid;
it had relied on the work force for over twenty years,
and it could have hurt the employees who needed an increase,
rather than the employer who had a constant cash flow.
They had to make a choice...accept and sign the new contract,
and stay in business for another five years, or more;
from the looks on everybody's face, it didn't sound pleasant,
but who would have chosen the unemployment line?
The employer felt terribly for the bad deal-killer, but also a relief
saving thousands of jobs around Christmastime.
To compensate the workers for their loyalty, the employer offered them
a monthly bonus and open overtime for everybody willing to work hard,
so that deal-killer proved to be extremely beneficial...
coming at a time when extra cash could have brought more gifts
that they couldn't afford in the first place, had the deal-killer been denied...
and they wouldn't have wished one another, " Happy Holidays! "
The barrier of distance cannot minimise or dim
Your beauty or the magnitude of all that you possess;
Though miles of separation lie between us cold and grim,
The aura of your nature overwhelms me nonetheless.
Environment cannot contain, wasteland cannot prevent
The blossom of the magnet dream, the visions of your face;
For I am ever counting down the days without relent,
Until we are together in adjacent time and space.
