Process With Most Progress

Process With Most Progress

We must be prepared to accept process,
Which will result in the most progress;
A wise old owl
Said root canal;
After you already have had an abscess.

Governing Truths

Abscess
   confessed
     obsessed
       digressed.

A government abscess confessed test,
 power play in obsessed digressed mess.

Indulgence Denied

Birds of similar feather 
conspire together
when sores of society 
open chaotic doors.
A boiling abscess 
provides easy access.
Statesmen must team up 
before angry masses teem
and cross the threshold of justice.

Premium Member I am disgust


I can churn stomachs, with a stench of truth 
An abscess filled with maggots, pus profuse
As I feed off gunk, new nerve ends take root
Raw language in my words, not gross abuse 
Yes! I am disgust, old wounds fear my fruit

Packing Babies

PACKING BABIES packing babies like sick vats vases of acid open an abscess I watch… as a million people run into their thin papery nowhere lands safe without stains on their fluorescent fairytale brains © Kim van Breda—2 November 2015


The Vagaries of Time

The vagaries we grope with
The triumph of temptation avails
as the wind claws


Each heart is an ineligible abscess
Twisting lanes
Eternity scatters west
it all goes on paper
searching for a lunar shrine
a secret of scribbling sands
amongst the discounted heart

Done For Good

Her look that day,
Should have told me everything she could not say.
Unprepared, I stared.
She walked away.
As she tossed our ring,
I felt the sting.

If I’d known then
How I feel today,
I'd heal the abscess and my heart’s decay,
Before her affection left me there that day.

Simple squamous epithelium That lines the frothing orifice Of politicians and wine-soaked braggarts Cytoplasm That flows equally In justice and infectious regurge Genes That transplant the ghastly Pale-light abscess of custom-made drivel God, Ph.D., you too?

Revelation

Have you ever wondered ...
what the inside of a balloon feels like ?
                 empty
                    full of nothing
                         vacuous
no feeling at all,
           NUMB
   It feels like me !

a breast abscess.

Insomnia

What is it about you!
Why can’t you shut your mouth?

What is it about you?
Why can’t you let it out!

What it is about you
Can’t you speak?

What it is about you?
Are you so indiscreet?

That you have to shout!
Bleat!
Pout!

In your excess
Recess
Digress
Abscess?
Indigestible progress!

What is it about you?
Can’t you sleep?

Down trodden


This ship here is sinking,
To the murky depths below,
It's got me worried sick and thinking,
About life imitating an art show.

Wonders lie in abscess,
Hell the unimaginable,
Pain is the remedy ready for access,
Tolerance for it is a gamble.

Should I die here alone,
Bury me by the coast,
My sins do burn me till I atone,
Raised glasses for a jocular toast.

Neurotic

My head is swirling with a million thoughts.
Wondering are they coming to get me?
What will I do if I get caught?
I can not go yet I am too young.
I will never surrender to the likes of you.
You are the filth that I have been trying to forget.
You are the abscess that I want to expunge.
You are the reason I am in the state I am in.
I do not care what happens but you will not control me any longer.
Maybe I am neurotic but at least I am not psychotic like you.
