Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis - part i

Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis, high bred poiet?s of mine

     ("Thus always I cause the death of tyrants.”)
the purported line Brutus uttered 
after assassinating Julius Caesar.

     Alternatively titled:
The prose and consequential arguments 
for the death penalty.

     An attempt to resuscitate 
the following rambling

Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis - part ii

Highlight of Goofus and Gallant 
bred within the survival instinct 
of hungry hordes of prey, 
when Earth in the balance 
against an uncomfortable truth 
smug smurf like scavengers. 

     Punishment meted out 
and limited by the poison 
yielded courtesy iron maiden 
of hand-to-hand mortal kombat.

     Only when

Semper Ibi

He stood by
my cradle
And followed
my hearse
Unlocking
two portals
Both blessing
— and curse

Semper Alumnus

Thank you God
That I’m always a student
I abhor
The slaughters of the babies
Toddlers were killed dead
Young boys and girls were shot dead
Pregnant women were stabbed dead
That’s terror
Young men were executed
Young women were raped and killed
That’s horror
Women weren’t spared
Sick women were beat
Old men and women
Weren’t exempt
No error
Fuhrer is alive
Terrorism
Is not dead
Students have conscience
Leaders lie
The buildings are pulverized
Treaties

Semper, Mater Vester

Come sit with me, my darlings, 
beneath this apple tree.

Come sit with me, my sweethearts,
Do you not sense? It's me.

Come sit with me, my lovelies, 
all seasons of all years.

Come sit with me, my precious ones.
Come sit with me, my dears.

Semper Fidelis

Our team lost today
  lost yesterday too
the game before that
  the one prior to that too

Seems they're on a losing streak
  Is our team really that weak?
Or are the others too tough
  and ours a creampuff?

Whatever the truth, I'm loyal still
  I believe that our team surely will --
win a

Semper Fi Or For Maureen Mcgreavy

by definition
of recognition
always waiting for
her next submission

a risky mission
it's never to late
in my admission to
send in the Maureens

Semper Fideles

I’m a victim of this life.

cursed by God, a poisoned mind
perhaps if I lacked the sight,
at peace I’d be, for beauty blinds.

I, a violent child.

Waterfalls, song, paintings and poem.
Mountains, thunder, this world and beyond it.

Heaven and hell, angels that fell
I stand among them, seeking their hell
for I am now cursed, cursed to be breathing,
so I

Donald Trump has lost his temper
It seems his fi is not semper
His corruption trail
Caused close friends to bail
Trump failed as Trusted Exemptor

Semper Fidelis

For aught we know 
Love sometimes plays two hearts... 
There are times that 
Love is ironic 

We need to get hurt, 
To love. 
We need to lie 
Just to tell the truth. 
We need to feel the pain 
In order to show that we really care. 

We became strangers to ourselves. 
When eccentric feelings 
Strike
