The progeny of who sires
A sea's storm-rageful
Overturn of it.
Partakes in whose misfortune
A carefree sailing.
Wall of rock does hit.
Rageful-mouthed, lustful-eyed
With a multiclawed greed.
Of no monster of myth, a man
For what's patterned after!
Rising out from which lake
Boils for hellish desires
Of all such manifestations
Most needs subdue; smother.
Each cloud, soldier-like
Projects brute force;
Not before, rageful, for sudden dread
Thunderous blasts.
Of what had once stormed
A front line through
Its ghost formation, overhead
This shadow casts!
I sort of hoped we would go out in flames, some dramatic spiral into rageful oblivion—a goodbye with ferocity and flair.
But instead, you fled… it was worse than a ghost how quietly you left.
No haunting, no wanting, just a blur—out of sight faster than a flicker.
I tried to follow the trail of your absence, but it led nowhere—just an empty sky where even the stars refused to burn.
The fearless soldier with a glowing and youthful look
aims his rifle toward his enemy behind the barrack,
while thoughts are focused on practical and clever survival;
the concept of horrifying death is as distant as imminent hell!
The voluptuous gal with artful fingers massages his client's body,
to her wishes are paid in hefty sums to satisfy her corporal desires;
morality has been replaced by want, nothing will deny her pleasures:
does incurable disease make her worry and go back to a life of purity?
The peachy-cheeked girl gently picks up the fragile petals of blue lilies
dispersed by gusty blows of rageful wind swooping above and around her;
she should be outraged and find a calmer meadow amid the lively hills:
no whim smears with anger her charming smile adorned by hair so fair!
The newborn baby, pulled from his mom womb, emits a scream into light,
there's no happier mother caressing him, nurturing him with sweetness;
life offers joys and awful moments, while death offers pervasive fears:
between these two stands immortality as conceived by religion, not fact!
Mary, Mary mother of Humanity
we kneel before you singing praises
as angels stare at your image
of holiness, even they proclaim your grace;
and more than each star in this universe:
they are truly joyful and long for serenity!
Mary, Mary mother of Humanity,
you fill empty hearts with hope;
there's nobody feeling unloved:
everyone is praying fervently...
asking for consolation and mercy.
Their hymns help them cope
and rise above misery and unrest...
whenever they are afflicted
with sorrow in their chest!
Mary, Mary mother of Humanity
with eyes very tender and merciful,
keep us in your fond embrace:
be that lighthouse illuminating
the Human Race reaching out farther,
not knowing how certain is peace!
Mary, Mary mother of Humanity
reign on your throne of splendor,
guard us against Satan's rageful jealousy,
empower us with humility and obedience,
thrill is with spiritual and perpetual joy;
we will not find anywhere a holier mother,
a kinder mother who understands our pain!
This beach without shady palm trees
is the chosen playground of harsh winds,
its sand is drier than the Sarah's desert;
nobody lays on a blanket to soak up sunshine,
not even kids play handball smelling a tempest...
and be engulfed by huge waves onto the sealine.
Karl is the courageous one surfing and screaming,
no fear can batter his audacity, neither is his daring;
now, twilight approaches slowly, and makes him worry...
then, he defies his inner force advancing very rapidly.
Beaches without swimmers and sunworshippers are too dull,
there appear the sand dunes: the hideaway of an angry troll;
I rise up and go towards the rageful waves that break apart...
creating the whitest bubbling crest ever seen in Newport.
This beach without shady palm trees
is no attraction for avid beachgoers
who seek a solitary place to cool off,
to read memes to make them laugh?
He was the most lonesome guy.
he surely didn't trust anybody
and the reasons were many;
he'll reveal his darkest secrets...
when he has shed all his tears
and realized how foolish he was!
Shunning existence for an unexplained reason
was folly; was he treated unkindly and unfairly?
Only his contrived and rageful feelings can explain
what made him choose confinement from Humanity!
The tremendous loss of his mom hit him hard,
with his hands across his beating chest,
with his bowed head he was totally lost;
he miserably grieved her and desperately cried!
Who has never felt his inconsolable and deep pain
that was never been left behind,
can't understand humanly what brought him down;
how grief persists in the sorrowful mind,
how it keeps him in a state of misery:
does anyone cling to pain indefinitely?
He was the nicest guy in the smallest town,
always lending his hand to others whenever it was needed,
he gave his love demanding nothing in return;
comfort him when he breaks down, and do a good deed!
Oh, why must I wear this uncomfortable mask,
when entering stores, or working at my desk?
Don't listen to erratic idiots or irrational fools:
think about your health, do the right thing always;
if death dealt with our reality so frightening and changeless:
whom do you think would win this race of treacherousness?
Death is not a benefactor of mercy kindling life with spoils,
it steals all we possess, all we hide leaving anguishing tears;
so take down all the white flags for an armistice not allowed,
who committed heinous acts will surrender to a myth so dowsed...
where other graves have been covered with damp and black dirt,
watch helpless mothers weep to seek a pity that diminishes all hurt!
Oh, why must I wear this uncomfortable mask
to please politicians who justify their mandate?
Let's not bump into the rageful mouths that reject this hard task,
they may lynch us, or even hurt us if police aren't watching us;
this is a dilemma for many not wearing it to claim all freedoms:
is there any freedom left, not obeying the Law that keeps us safe?

Sally wasn't as pretty as Kelly,
they had two different personalities;
one was hard to love, the other was
gentle and surrendered easily.
I shared the love of two girls
who battled to have me desperately;
they fought and pulled their hair,
showing endless rage and jealousy...
they couldn't put an end to their animosity!
I was torn between the two for years,
and finally decided to keep Sally
who was truly faithful and had
a genuine, not a sarcastic sense of humor:
Kelly was rageful and showed insanity,
she sent me to hell, then stalked
me and Sally until she realized her madness!
Sally wasn't as pretty as Kelly,
one had stunning eyes that charmed,
the other a beautiful smile I adored;
I was a lucky dude, but also an unhappy one
breaking up their fights, wiping their tears
and getting slapped a few times...
even though I never took sides in their quarrels,
and watching them being helpless I felt so silly!
Sally wasn't as pretty as Kelly,
but they had a big effect on me;
I didn't need two jealous babes to please me...
all I was looking for was total honesty!
.
Forget all the foolishness of the moment
that made you breathe in fear and anger;
stand up and face the inescapable fact:
you can run once, but not forever!
Don't try to be perfect,
show everybody how you care;
I'm the one who needs attention,
so get rid of your pretension,
throw away what's unfair...
and speak words with intent!
Forget all the foolishness of the moment,
it's stupidity on your part, be someone
sensible to my needs, show that big heart;
making mistakes is not being imperfect:
you can learn from them, it's not a horrendous crime...
who lurks in frightening shadows is shut out from the light!
Step down from your splendid heaven where
all the angels object to your greed;
show every tender feeling and feel free
to love the faithful one waiting alone...
watching rageful waves in a troubled sea:
being human is not seeing somebody bleed!
Forget all the foolishness of the moment,
all can be forgiven quickly, seek atonement;
don't see your wounded pride but something different:
a chance to amend faults and not feel the embitterment!
That day when legal slavery ended
A brief moment when justice seemed palpable
marked only the first chapter of caped cross burners
and rageful lynch mobs
marked only the beginning of white terror
against black dignity
Equal justice under law
That day when the sky opened
A brief glimmer when freedom seemed possible
stained only by the blood of generations oppressed
bruised only by the brutality of the state
against these people of color
Equal justice under law
That day when a people were proclaimed
A brief interlude when equality seemed attainable
marred only by marginalization and segregation
scarred only by white supremacy and white dominance
against these struggling people
Equal justice under law
Someday when a people get their due
An arcing rainbow when liberation is realizable
helped only by abandonment of white privilege
aided only by respect and compassion
for these people
Equal justice under law
Doors and windows in my world
Is like a vortex in my head
Floors and roofs in my life has been uncurled
In the matrix of my dread
You don’t see me...you don’t see me
We were like strangers in the sea
Cast your shadow upon me, baby
I’m dealing with bi-tendencies honestly
View the windows in my shoes
View the windows in my shoes
There, you’ll find me without a clue
There, you’ll find me and you
There, you’ll find me so true
They don’t see who I am
I am just a broken-down dam
Damn, I’m just His lamb
I am as angry as a rageful ram
View the windows of my glimmering hope
Undo the rope from my neck...
Unchain these chains, so I can simply cope
I love you to pieces like heck...
Give me a peck...
Give me a sec...
Give me a minute...
I will throw another fit...
Give me an hour, hour
My desire has turned sour
Summertime shame has came upon me
Release my mindset, for I’m upset with rue
Sublime and will take the blame frankly
Breathe into me regret...I am stuck like glue
Waiting patiently...
you for making me wait
For absolutely...
Nothing...
Take me home to your castle of loneliness
There, you’ll find my empathy of distress
Remember purple
fragrance coming
through, taste buds
waiting, such
anticipation, slivating
like wild dogs, awake,
conscious skins,
sweetness, waiting
juice exploding like
a rageful volcano
inside running
down my throat
anticipation over
mission accomplished.
So many thoughts collide in my head
When im laying, waging war in the deep consciousness lurking within my head
With words, i feel, i cant express the type of pain i feel inside,
that at times,
makes me feel like im poisoned with lead
Old memories haunt me
as down memory lane...i tread
Sleepless nights find me and wear me out after
Something, i feel, wants me to become nothing more but a common disaster
Sweet dreams i keep chasing, so my soul can find laughter
Like a hunger; it consumes me
And in the dead of the night
It comes ever faster
Like a master crafter,
It makes for me a trap
To still me inside a suffocating wrap
Maybe one day il be free...
from these thoughts that envade me as i try and find peace
...And one day i can be where i want to be
And maybe...inside loving arms...the war within me will...sease
Like true beauty...
It calms my mind and soothes my heart
And keeps me from becoming something else
That rageful and restless beast
May one day he be cut completely
From the part of me
Thats haunted
until one day
I can be with the one i love...
That does set in me...
Her loving and truthful decree
Amen and so let it be
