Your trees are damaging
Our lovely tarmac....

The angry wrath of the waves tonight
Thrashed against the Captain's ship
No tranquility, death is near
Damaging winds, sink ship
A brave captain gone
Buried below
With his ship
Now at
Peace...

Afraid of letting go
Destruction I have caused
Damaging my body
Illegal behavior 
Convincing myself it’s okay
Toxic life choices
Estranged I have become 
Denying the truth

That I am Addicted....

They're predicting a damaging thunder storm ahead
Going down to the basement and cover my head
Mum was superstitious
“Egods and little fish's”
“The sky is falling... get under the bed”...

The food that supposed to be
Healthy, has underline 
Plus, damaging
Chemicals inside that’s not
Good for your body
Sugar free supposed to be
Sugar free but it’s loaded with
Fructose that’s harmful
For people with diabetes

Worldly contamination
Damaging our youth today
With smoke and waste damaging
Polluting the air

The wildlife suffers greatly
From the trash we throw outside
Humans seem to try and hurt
The environment

Cancer
A scary
Shocking
Consuming
Evil

Like black mold

In our walls
Spreading

Inside us
Hidden

words are just like stones
if thrown they hurt too
not all words are bad
and stones have good use
it’s how we use them

words yelled and screamed
verbal abuse
is damaging
causing some harm

try kindness
with a smile
it will work

laughter
brings peace

Smile...

What Choice
Written: by Tom Wright
3/7/2016
What alternative is this of either love or hate?
Love is the spring day to which we all relate.
Hate forever causes our inner being to seethe,
Damaging our heart each breath we breathe.

"What are toxic time bombs?"
I wonder, with no aplomb,
Old garbage and refuse tips,
Legacy landfills, full of blip,
Damaging environmentally,
So much for sustainability,
All the overflow of society,
How do we correct such wrongs?
All those toxic time bombs...........

COMPLIMENTS


A compliment can change the way,
The recipient will spend their day.
Lifting moods in times of need,
A pay it forward type of seed.
To criticize and pick apart,
It's damaging to one's heart.
So make an effort to be kind,
You never know what friends you'll find!!!

Everyone cannot clearly see 
Messy Objects, drama, pain or abuse 
Tearing tortuous rips
Into emotions 
Or 
Named 
Attacks 
Lacking its regard for your soul. 
Severe pain often is
Covered by a smile 
And 
Rages 
Scornfully about dragging damaging painful scars on emotions.

Emotional Scars...

Broken strings

A thoughtless crime
Someone has committed
To my violin.

String curled,
Bow bent like a pretzel,
The neck is in two.

Grief struck me
To find something so amazing
Destroyed from anger,
Surely someone must pay 
For damaging my instrument.

I thought about it for a second...
I don't recall even owning a violin....

If nothing I have tried
Tried and cried
To be rid of you

The past marks me
So much that I see
Marks me thrice

My past cannot be undone
No matter how far I run
You damaged me

In the present it consumes
My waking moments it doomes
You are damaging me

My future is bleak
Not even help that I seek
I'm forever damaged...

My life is caught in the matrix,
Dodging bullets of pain and passion,
Choose red pill,
Or green pill,
I ingested both with a glass of dirty water,
Damaging my system,
No Neo, Trinity, or Morpheus,
To save the day,
I am immortal,
Only to those who can't harm me,
0010011,
The coding of my life,
Even I can't understand it......

Tired of broken pencils flying at me.
Their graphite claws reaching
For my saddened heart.

Tired of the children’s cries.
As their frustrations stab
Into my tangled mind.

Tired of communication
Yelling of hatred pierce
My infected ears.

Tired of living in negativity.
Damaging my health broken
As well as my damned spirit....

debating past issues
over and over again 
is damaging to the 
core of everything 
that is true and good
within this life's purpose
continually acting without
positive regard for the 
future selves well-being 
is a sure fire way of creating
a future of unwanted stress
and strain that will utlimately 
bring distress to the future self...

Love is a choice 
Love is an act
Yet I thrive for my love
to feel my re-acts
Need I stand back
Before I attach this tack to his back.

Love not there; acts of damaging scares
Why can't I see 
All this chaos filtering through me
Positive thoughts, Negative acts

In my era of despair
I race to His face 
filled with grace
Faith opens gates
My fate awaits......

Speechless, a non-word thinking
silence in the air
knowledgeable, within reasons
wiser, with words of wisdom
in a view of knowing how to speak
what words to say
as the day by day exists
in the moment with words of encouragements
not damaging to the one that is in most need
the trust builds in
a seed planted
in truth, and with honesty
silence before words is spoken....

BULLIES
have big problems
understanding others
feeling so inferior themselves
they feed their ego by stealing other’s
self-esteem in damaging ways
no one respects tyrants
so, thumbs down on
BULLIES!

I am aware of what i look like.
I am in 'the know' of all that i am,
I know me.

You fail to realize that your words, 
Are sharp, piercing and toxic.
Toxic and damaging to the ears; the heart.

Do you understand that your words, pierce flesh?      
Do you understand that your words hurt?

Do you comprehend, the words i speak?         
I know me, i know that i am what you see.
I know....
