Drastic baggy
hags in spew-colored double
schlock wastelands are
even now sporting un-
even tooth alignment
and con-
genital blight po-
sitioning for more dead
products with patriotic
names such as
"Poke Her in the Crypt" and
"Wicked Slim Pickings".
Voracity not veracity mendacity groomer
Capacity for pugnacity is not a rumour
Rapacity of the seedy needy consumer
Sagacity no audacity of the baby boomer
Morality calamity stalks like a greedy puma
Tenacity but with no candour or humour
Opacity because their salacity is a tumour
The bombs rain down Iran do pound
Because of renowned nuclear mound
We know no warheads will be found
Israel America forever together bound
Self crowned as another nation downed
Who are the terrorists it does confound
Veracity & truths are ruthlessly drowned
Audacity pretending the reason is sound
Mendacity as we see treason all around
Pugnacity and military rapacity abound
Hound everyone who's been browned
Might is always right so tightly wound
Astound taking moral higher ground
Ripsnorting depravity cavity of sporting gravity
Severity of the brevity cheekily courting levity
Hilarity distorting polarity Tests aren’t a charity
Unpopularity resorting to double downed vulgarity
Clarity for sorting parity then humility not a rarity
Some austerity can feed & lead to prosperity
Precarity due to the complete lack of dexterity
Asperity at temerity & totality of Bazball brutality
Banality of celebrity vanity caused the disparity
Mendacity that red ball is just all about audacity
In reality plans need adaptability or fans profanity
Rapacity of elan talismans fatality simply insanity
Instead of percieving that the universe is conspiring against us, belief that the universe is working in our favor, brightens our perception
~Quote by Poet
We can transform rapacity by changing our beliefs and perceptions
Exploring our mind and body and by letting ourselves go—for instance
A room without books is like a body without a soul—positive words blanket
Keeping us covered with comfort, love, and hope, and teaches us to
Never stop from searching deeper on the path toward our better selves.
Each morning, I open my eyes, say to myself I have the power to make me
Stronger or weaker, this is because we are smarter than we think we are
Shusaku Endo said that every weakness contains within itself a strength
They’ll thieve from you your money
Your shoes that you just brought,
They do it with a notion
That they’ll never get caught.
Though I state this very clearly and
With much integrity
I’m proud and loud with no shroud for
Thievings not for me.
They’ll thieve what they think they deserve
They thieve what they just want,
Is a fact- a dirty act
To pull a thieving stunt.
They thieve in the name of love
They thieve behind your back,
They think they are entitled
For things that they do lack.
They’ll thieve your words and twist the verbs
Your designs, plans, ideas,
Then they’ll act almighty from
Stealing time and years.
They’ll thieve your light when shining bright
Your heart and curly locks,
They’ll thieve your garden hose out front and
Your letter box.
They are not fair they do not care
To steal what is not theirs,
Their in a class of their own and some
are billionaires.
The greediness, the avarice
rapacity, extortion,
Be careful of corruption
for this can cause distortion.
Just like blood oozing from a wound
Like water springing out of Chimanimani springs
My heart is bleeding
I got scared after seeing what they did
My heart is still beating faster
Like the traditional drums
Pum pum pum !!!
Just like the millet being pounded
Pounded by a black African woman
The horror still playing in my mind like drama
The whole scenery becoming more and more vivid
Their shining matchets they used
Cutting his body into little peices
As if they were cutting a chicken for supper
Not even caring their devilish act
What his mother was going to say or feel;
They never cared
Only their glutton they couldn't stop
Wanting more and more as if they were prostitutes
Resulting in a catastrophe
Because of their rapacity
Failing to quench their greediness
Disguising themselves as angels
Whilst hiding the blackness of their hearts
Taking away the innocent soul
Too young to die
Shattering all his future
The bright future that awaited him
It is now like a myth or fairytale
Once upon a time, he was with us
My heart is still bleeding and beating
O Death, how can I not resent it that
Your dire rapacity admits no bounds?
With no appeal… unmoved, an autocrat
Whose cruelty every human ill compounds,
And in the end all final hope confounds.
That you must come for me upsets me less
Than something much the harder to address:
For every friend and loved-one that you take,
My grief is all too potent to express,
And far too adamant to ever shake.

"How Death Has Affected Me" Dizain Contest
Embryonic cells, part of bio-technology experiments
Failed becoming gnarled and mangled
They are warped and deformed
Looking like they came from a nightmare
Freaks of processed nature
Sadistic scientist seeing the beauty underneath the ugliness
Seeing promise of creating a mutant swarm
Dissecting the mystery of blood, organs, and bones
Soulless men of science discovering the origin
Twisted, demented devilish villains
Controlling the mindless beast born from their chambers
Intelligence, becoming gods, curse the world, making it yours
Rising up the design of ravagers
Provoking bloodthirsty savages
A master plan to satisfy your rapacity
Fools playing with mother earth
Creating a netherworld
Believing in your creations are misunderstood
Killing all that distain your position of power
Madmen sick and obsessed in the art of science
Awaking their malevolent creations
I woke up to see such a ginormous granny.
I woke up to inhale the aroma of the gravy.
I woke up in a surrounding full of grouchy.
Though am little grumpy but am like a guppy.
I woke up in splushy bumpy.
Not realising the damnable bandy.
I woke up in an oblivious jollity not realising the grumpy.
I woke up in an obtruded home but full of jolly.
I woke up from a past of gaily to a present of gaiety.
I woke up in a palace full of golden plumy.
I woke up in a friendly planet not noticing the bumpy.
I woke up in a titanic not realising the pirates are in the suits of piracy.
I woke up in a house which was soo plasticky.
I woke up in rapacious atmosphere which has boost my rapacity.
I woke up in a state of rascal but never mind cos,is such a rarity.
I woke up in yunkee so dont expect me to be wishy -washy.
I woke up in a ginormous family that is too unwieldy.
Rage is the revolution, the revolt, the uprising,
Rage is the mother of freedom,
The sprouting seed of change,
The raging wildfire, the upheaval,
The conflagration, the burning souls,
The injustice forced on any group,
Community, nation, faith, belief,
Rage is Jihad, the Crusade, the Inquisition,
The conflict between ideals, the mores and the morals,
Rage is Apartheid, Rage is Slavery, Rage is the Exodus,
Rage is the wrath of God
upon Sodom and Gomorrah,
Rage is the expulsion of Adam & Eve
from the Garden of Eden,
Rage is God’s Ten Commandments.
Rage is the fall of mighty Empires,
The fall of despots and dictators,
Their crimes against humanity and the genocide,
Rage is the campaign against their killings,
Raping, torturing, nepotism, corruption,
Rapacity, political repression, ethnic persecution,
Their tyranny and their extravagance—
Rage is the voice of a common man raising
the storm whenever bereft of all hopes and peace!

THE MUSIC
Feel life's beating heart in rhythm,
Keeping pace with infinity's grace.
Gentle wonder, swift tides flow,
Beyond the rock of ages gospel.
Harmonies echoing symphony,
Spurs on.
Let it be a sounding heard,
Amongst,
Revelry's in the Almighty’s joy.
Taste inspirations melodic,
Flavors.
Savory destiny’s pleasures.
Wash mine soul,
Beneath waves rhythmic,
Undertow.
Blessings choir sings,
Harolding trumpets glory.
An everlasting flame burning,
Eloquence somber tones guide.
Generations future, cradled,
Within humanities,
Inner being, a shinning spark,
Ignites,
Illuminating imaginations,
Releasing limitless possibilities.
As musics lullabies plays,
Rapacity blues, a southern,
Comforting ensues.
Timeless lyrics dance, across,
Musical notes.
A dreamers ballad rings out,
Softness’s palate explodes,
In vibrancy array.
Expressionism's diversity reflects,
Tender moments calm.

Wye, 2 Konfabulation
Come folk; gather to my proboscis
And hark to my impending psychosis.
Tonight is December thirty-fust,
Something is about to bust.
\The clock is crouching, ready to pounce;
Of pity it'll not give an ounce.
This way comes rapacity, penury.
Duck, here comes another century.
Thronged investors at the allotment bazaar
Large cap bearish
Scripts at fall.
Awaited ingenious and expertise capitalists
Then brought into
Scripts at down.
Mid Cap bullish
Scripts at rise
Wavered SENSEX
And small cap ingress
Gives the once over like a cliffhanger rise.
Beginners rapacity and analysts variegations
Former’s paucity and latter’s accrued funds.
Pulled blue chips
Superior position
And more towering price
Then again a new firm
Offering a bid price.
Broker’s commission and depositories dematerialization
Varied revenue
Over investors capitalization.
Inflation hikes and deflation brought down
Again a widespread decline in the GDP
Brought the whole market to pull down.
Analyst’s accrued funds and NIFTY’s superbia
Top thirties jackpots and investors allocations,
Sharply jerked down.
Brainsick market
And a quidity beer bar,
A full-time financial express
And the morning tea NDTV regular.
Beginners’ luck to fill the pot
And a period later
The crow sated the piggy bank pot.
-------------- X -------------------
O! Ye a Man-eater on the prowl in awe
Holding passion at arms quaking to her chest
Ripple in drama tuned, turned to hilarity
True hunger in her heat, I muse the instincts.
Echo's in her raw rapacity Intrude
Freedom born from her deadly ferocity
Roars of seduction crafted in tender fury
Hear her wails to the master for entrapment.
Yielding to the predator in temptation
Ecstatic labyrinth in cupidity;
He devours her hunger filling her with joy
Mating they lost cannibalistic fancies.
