robbed again
Robbed again?
We neighbors looked at each other.
A policeman rolled his eyes
Even his grandmother looked doubtful.
I looked at his nose for new growth
Fifteenth claim of being robbed in twelve months
His insurance refused to pay and cancelled him

Why?
Why did you do this to me/
I did not do that/
Is it because I'm not Christian, just why/
Simply... Clear my name/
I did not do that/
Why did you do this to me/
I never done nothing to you/
You robbed me of a life/
May you go to Hell/
For what you did to me/
I'm haunted and scarred for life/

What Is Torn
** What’s Torn **
What’s been torn off or away may be
a recurring theme — of dreams or memory —
that nags, popping up unexpectedly
to recall or, for dear losses, again grieve…
The things thieved
from life — as divinely conceied,
like the Amazon forest’s trees —
don’t leave, but remain in a spectral reality…
What’s been torn away
may

Enduring Part Two of Illness Journey Poems
*** ENDURING ***
(A Part Two about my recent illness, following “Lunacy Loo Flies.”
Fear
Stepped into the holes of my weakness
To impede my pace to recovery,
Absorbing the basic radiant light —
My going forth walk had previously always carried
Since early childhood when chronic illness first struck, but
Good humor with hope and dreams were all well founded within.
Fear
Forced

Robbed
We've lost many people already
To the undying thirst of drugs
That seems to extinguish,
everyone who cares enough to partake
It's like a fire that continues to spread
With people falling for its allure
Only to sink deep like quicksand,
And it's hard to get yourself off it
Many families crying foul
Others are in the darkness
Cause they think

Prosperity
Prosperity, vagabond,
Pickpocket of poor and old
Predator of oil and gold
Jewels, cash, land, or blondes.
When Prosperity pulls stakes,
Abandonment marks its wake
Jobs and places disappeared
Prosperity robbed and sneered.

Robbed By a Snake
I'm naturally very giving in nature..
So you put your hand out to take.
But because of you I'm no longer the same..
Your just an evil lying snake!
I trust too easily in general..
So you decided to lie.
You broke my heart in the process..
And now you've made me cry!
I like to see the good in people..
So you decided

God Robbed the Grave
“We can’t change the cards
The cards we’ve been handed
All our lives been let down
Let down and abandoned
Everyone looking out for themselves
With poor intentions on the road
Lost integrity and identity
Deceit and lying is the code!”
The speech from the enemy
Has wickedly conceived
To blind us in delusion
So that we won't believe
It’s the signature on

Last Night I Got Robbed
Last night I went trick-or-treating
And I got lots and lots of candy,
Today to my surprise my bag was
empty and it had a little note.
I took and ate all your candy.You
can't tell a soul especially mom and
dad.
So I did the only logical thing, I told
Linda Lou ,that my darling big brother
, is still afraid of the

Have You Robbed God
Have You Robbed God?
By: Tom Wright
Jan. 17, 1998
Rob not God, of His offering,
in your attendance or your time.
Neglect not your tithes to bring,
for against God, this is a crime.
You say you haven't stolen from God?
A good steward you've always been.
Things held back as in life you've trod,
our Heavenly Father can see within.
To one whom much

God Was Robbed
I think God was robbed,
Just when he’d almost finished the job.
It’s a shame,
Someone definitely stole some of the parts of his game.
There’s some honour missing,
And loyalty too,
I’ve got all mine but some’s missing in you,
And there’s sympathy - i know I’m a bit short,
I don’t like to admit it but I have to report,
Oh

Robbed of Hope
What is sleep? What are its positions?
Right side? Left side? Prone with arms in?
You seem to have lost all intuition
Relax and breathe easy, they all say
You can/t. Your chin is always in the way
You shift uneasily from side to side, half-crazed
Insomnia's a form of unjust

Today I Understand To Be Robbed In Love
I came to understand your love
also you ruined me.
Everyone a now bad at heart.
All do lies only love.
From above say love
lies and false ideas.
I came understand your love
also you ruined me.
Do you have to cry now?
Stone heart is all human.
Now I will not have love at all.
Now whether I really love anybody.
I came understand your

A Robbed Scholar
"Pack the chairs,no souls will be entertained here",
Politics is stealing the future of scholars,
The faith is rather picking blemishes from religious pillars,
Can't make it plain to them of my changed mind,
Grew up along the coast,
Education wasn't a key boast,
Chasing money and abiding to words from our illiterate parents,
"Hey,...if you refuse to go fishing,no food for
