Premium Member I'll Sleep in the Sky
Oh abundant child without a care or whim, Am I broken and beaten because of my sin, Am I lonely and sickly because of mistakes, Is your refusal to help me because I'm a fake, If you close your heart to me this is no lie, I will trust in God and sleep in the sky, And you Mrs. Perfect what...

A grasping tight hand, World shrinks to a single "mine," Empty when alone. ©bfa040225 ...

New Sonnet 3 Whene'er I Find Myself Alone and Ponder
Whene'er I find myself alone and ponder, My life grown small around me clamps my heart, And fiercely beats the rain, fiercer the thunder, I cannot save myself by any art... And when within this prison of my mind, I know that nothing good can ever be, Where no ray of the Sun I ever find It seems sometimes, I sudden, think...

Premium Member Pride
Do not wear pride like a necklace For God detests pride and arrogance Pride does not go unpunished Pride leads to disgrace Humility is rewarded with wisdom While pride begets destruction Cause it takes credit for God’s accomplishments And covets God’s glory Pride demeans others It arrogates sense of Almightiness To a mere mortal Pride stifles growth of other...

Krabs Cash Craze
Money, money, money Give me a penny, I’ll stash it, I’ll hide it, And guard it like treasure. In his belly, a hunger That can’t be fulfilled, For gold and for riches His greed is unmatched. He pockets the profits, The worker gives his all, But when it’s time to pay, The boss is long gone. No thought for the world, Just riches to keep, He’ll chase every dollar And...

Love's Oblivion
She wove a tapestry of tender grace, A silken thread of affection's embrace. He, a tempest, a tempestuous soul, Cast shadows deep, beyond control. She, a beacon, radiant and bright, Bathed him in the aureate light Of her devotion, pure and true, But he, oblivious, sailed through. He, an incubus, a fleeting guise, Lured her with illusory skies. She, with an albatross of adoration, Yearned for...

Premium Member The Wrong Landlord
On one’s ability, nothing wrong to confide needless gratification, glory hunting is wide chances of victory from a one-man army divide. Resilience that is bloated will be swallowed by the tide seeking attention is their life, on a horse it rides to condescend and to look down also riding side by side. High-level difficulty to follow a guide adopting modesty and quiet,...

Premium Member Win's Feathers
An impotent soul wrapped with a police seal Married a merchant and stopped bearing Jill everyone must care, that’s how it feels traps of superiority placed like banana pills mutual respect losing every match five-to-nil demanding the showering of majestic praises so unreal that are schemed and manufactured from a rusted mill to cover a void that can never be filled. Confidence owns...

Premium Member If Crooks could vote
If gazelles on the savannah could vote They'd vote for muzzled tigers, then they would gloat. If wolves outvoted sheep, let's think what stops: No more wool sweaters, no more lamb chops. If crooks in the cities could legislate There would never be a court date They'd be out of jail while the cop like a clerk Is still filling out the...

He who has knowledge And Won't Freely Share It Is Called What
He sits in silence, his words held tight, A well of wisdom, sealed from sight. His lips are firm, his eyes withdrawn, As night falls silent before the dawn. The world is thirsty, tongues run dry, Yet he keeps still, lets truth pass by. A lantern dimmed, a book unread, His world's are lost in the wind instead. He knows the path but...

Premium Member History Is Impartial
The real history knows how To pick great men/women who know how To serve, help, protect, defend and lead. Great leader fights all the way With his life, and never finds the easiest way. Great leader fights against racism, corruption, greed Selfishness, and protects his people at any cost. Great men/ women stand their ground, For everyone, regardless of the background. History is an...

Taking small things
I've picked too many flowers and I've stolen my fair share of leaves. Pocket every daisy, tulip. All for the sake of me. Peel every flower, gently with ease. Hold them forever, but it is still not enough for me. I've wished on every shooting star on a dark night, to satisfy my needs. Oh...

A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
A handful of sorrowful years have passed and now I bare my shame. A deserving fate for one miscast; deserving of the blame. For I was flailing as a dreamer, focussed on the past. Running from the future, losing all at last. I thought I knew the pathway, ordained for me by you, So rightly threw my all away, and left her with no due. A selfish...

A beer My person is not built to work all the time. I want to enjoy life... My way... I already had my career and it sucked Selfishness and greed I do not like I love what I am doing But I get tired ... So I have a beer … ~ Pauly G ...

Veiled Love -part one-
Veiled Love The true depths of selfishness I had never touched Until I met you Never feeling its cuts, I could have never knew Just how bladed it was Victim after victim a glutenous lust Seeming to serve you all that you want While feeding on your primal thoughts Striping the essence from all that you love Instilling the eternal instinct of one...
