Executed When Polluted
Executed When Polluted

What we finally decided to do when polluted,
Was to make a decision and have it diluted;
Desperate deed,
And never feed;
Eventually all of the culprits were executed.

Premium Member She Hid Under My Desk
She hid under my desk.
Waiting for me.
To discover her.
Thinking it was going to be hilarious.
It was not.
When the principal took a seat in my chair,
Attempting in vain to wipe smiles
Off two culprits faces...

A Good Victim I Guess
a good victim I guess,
complains to nobody
dies quietly in pain
his ghost haunts not
those culprits alive
that raise  bitter lips
clench fists of hate
that bring  stray tears
and dig holes for blood
to flow without reason
enjoy and laugh in sleep...

Red Rum
It talks.
It whispers.
It cries out loud.
It tells secret tales.
It speaks of dark acts.
It reveals silent tears.
It uncovers the arms.
It displays events.
It exhibits truth.
It uncovers.
It rests. 

It seeps in the earth
By the hands of its culprits
From broken bottles....

Hidden Intention
Puppets watching day and night with hidden murderous intention;
To cast the ray of light that stops his heartbeat. 
If his breathing halts suddenly in his sleep, 
then the wind knows who the culprits are.

And if by his former belief, they'll take his breath, 
Then, no one in this land will be safe....

Reuniun
They come in like birds.
Slipping through the walls.
Others like to perch on the stalls.
Handbags and purses, clutched to their chests,
The rest circle round, eyeing their culprits.
Some squawk and wave at people they think they know.
The leaders stand over their roost,
Circulating snapshots of a perfect life....

Spies
They are everywhere,
yet you cannot notice them.

They have blended so well
with unsuspecting public,
like a drop of ocean
in a river.

Nothing escapes their senses-
they are so keen that they
can hear their heartbeat
when everything around is loud.

They have good sight too;
they see culprits' tomorrow
before the innocent turn
to culprits.......

Caged
Without the Love
        Existence is a birdcage
        Desolate and cold
        Finding comfort only in itself.
Without the dove
        The cage is a mere antique
        Lonely and useless
        A burden to the space provided.
And yet, with Love
        We are only the culprits
        Thieving and murderous
        Suffocating the doves life with fear....

Letter From Spring
Just received a letter from spring
Says it’s sun and warm air she’s trying to bring

Said her flights been delayed
And the culprits been made
Guess its old man winter that’s being blamed

Said he’s not being nice
Filled the wings with ice
Now they are stuck on the ground like mice

She says not to  worry
Old man winter and his flurry
Will soon be just a memory...

Be Healed
When you are in your emotional healing journey
You need a moral support than criticism
I have learned that the culprits 
are the closest to you,
These souls could suck out life out of you
And leave you to desiccate and still condemn you.

Hold on
Don't give up
The process might be alien to you
But you are making a progress because you have
Identified the bad seed.
Be healed....

Free Dai Morris
As the hills and streets fall silent
and the shadows claim the land
As you rest your head for another night
spare a thought for an innocent man

"Free Dai Morris" 
the truth speakers say
ACAB ?
Well they are making it seem that way

Justice will continue to be fought for
until the real culprits get that knock upon their door

FREE DAI MORRIS !
He deserves to be free
and we hope that day will come, 
eventually...

Premium Member One Huge Flame
A flame was lit in decades past, and no one wants to see it last, for global warming is its name. Some tell us we'll have much to rue while others argue that’s not true. The biggest culprits take NO blame! We speak of it, yet still we stall. . . Bad habits must be changed by all before this earth is one huge flame.

Premium Member The Neighbor's Cats
The squirrels have disappeared from my backyard
Since the neighbor’s cats have invaded their domain,
And I am taking their sudden absence especially hard
The squirrels have disappeared from my backyard.
It appears that the culprits, the cats, cannot be barred
Complaining to their ditzy owner is all that remains
The squirrels have disappeared from my backyard,
Since the neighbor’s cats have invaded their domain.

Early this morning, I found, much to my chagrin,
the flowers in my garden were as if they’d never been.

Bitten off above the soil, green stubs left aground.
Mad enough to spit nails, I fussed and stomped around.

It was easy to discover who the culprits were.
They left telling evidence indented in the dirt there.

Their hoof prints tracked all around the flowerbed;
no blossoms for my soul today, food in their stomachs instead....

Lava Truth
Felled in the form and gelled in indescribable,
It was a conundrum quite unfathomable,
Some chemicals reacted on its fibres,
A reaction took place in its innards,
and laughed at scared cowards,
who had shrunk and sprung back,
as if running with their ruck sacks,
the lava spewed from the volcano,
rammed in constantly dismembering form,
all that came in its way was torn,
some truths are like lava,
they simply sear through,
make culprits hurry and attention all drew....

Vanish
She slowly fades away 
Into the air like dust 
Into the night like a fleeting dream 
Out of history like an exiled queen. 
Falling away from the shore  
With each approaching tide.  
This crisis grows bigger than femicide 
For they’ve begun to attack even the child. 
Some disappear like phantoms 
While police struggle to catch 
The heartless hoodlums. 
Who are these culprits 
in our degenerate society, 
Who steal our females  
In homage to some satanic piety?

COPLA 111 RESOLUTION : This Bad Guy World

Criminals and cowards are blood brothers
Both operate in stealth to inflict
Harm to increase wealth

States multinationals speculators
Rely on spineless banks to restrict
Works for GoodGuy health

Tyrannosaur States join hands with culprits
To protect criminal states’ interests :
Make bad banks bulge

Sinistre hollow cowardice hides hits
When blood brothers threaten interests :
State banks indulge
