Make Me Invisible
Lord Make Me Invisible 
Lord Please Make Me Invisible
Let Me Fly Away From This Place
Let Me Leave Where I Am
Grant Me Wings So I May Fly
Let This Road Lead Somewhere Else
Lord Grant Me Amnesty 

I Am Heart Broken Again
Decimate The Weak They Say
I Will Be Destroyed

Universe Destructed
I’d annihilate
the ascending sun
from the sky

incinerate the
eremitic moon
beyond recognition

eradicate
each and every
constellation from its
galaxy

decimate every
planet one
at
a
time

if I believed
that it would
give you one
instant of
respite

from the
savages gorging
on your essence....

Premium Member Body Count
The casualties rose
We couldn’t keep a body count
mass graves dotted the landscape

a toddler screaming
countless villages ablaze
unholy despot glories

nuclear seared ground
mustard gas permeates air
rancid poison is swallowed

no hiding spots found
drum tap of the machine guns
decimate remaining dreams...

Slime balls By: Tom Wright 7/26/2006 Terrorism, Makes life, mere breath on a string, If radical's viewed life as more, They would not detonate themselves To decimate the innocent; While the echoes of each eruption May signify days shortened, Allah was not life’s giver, Nor does he clip the string!

Premium Member The Flu That Flew Worldwide
We ponder what will be our fate
As Earth we over-populate.
More industry we generate
And agriculture propogate.
Many species we decimate
As Planet Earth we dominate.
Bigger cities we now create.
In high-rise blocks we concentrate.
Now pathogens grow at a rate
And fly worldwide to dissipate.
We ponder what will be our fate....

Sick Law
The law of the sick is to ungood.
To decimate the species.
To take what honors left in them
and desecrate their reicies.

To leave this place for all it's good
and fall without it's mercy.
An abdocate of every man
and make of throne or percy.

An insult to a greater God
of man or beast as worthy.
A testament of what's to come
nor what we'll leave more dirthy....

Premium Member Plead From Hell
I hear her pleading
Deep bellow hell
She screams out
I try to tune her beyond
The intensity is great
Ear piercing horror
The words unclear
Voice of great fear
Yelling she tries
To catch my eyes
Beneath all hell
It hurts her still
I cry out for her to cease
Or her grave I will
Decimate and destroy
Intensifying her pain
She slowly recedes
Holding back her scream
I hurt from her terror
I don’t want to go to hell

Which Last
inverse rivers mislead you
as sleeping fish
but the trench will be released from the tricks
the load will not come to the heart
bird flight away from our memories
we have promised to fisherman
we will not leave the waves for his

nobody's going to get dizzy from our write

the sun will not burn our skin
no picture in the hearts that will not bad
mirrors not decimate with your eyes

which last is waiting for whose...

Ego's Game of Life and Death
It can't be that important
If I believe it came
That it arrived here long ago
And I did play its game

I saw the ones before me
I saw them all the same
It told me differentiate
By giving each a name

I saw a world give voices
To those who would take aim
With bow and arrow, knife, or gun
To decimate and maim

It can't be that intrusive
If I don't go to shame
But now I make a better choice of
Where I place my blame...

It
It eats away at who you are
who you could have been
Aspirations and inspiration are replaced
with the need for its everlasting presence

I hate it
Wish that I could destroy it
But
I can't control others
So I can only pray you escape its grips

It does not care about the stolen lives it claims
Dreams that were robbed
Families it destroyed

It only wants to be smoked, snorted, injected
Achieve its single goal
To decimate the lives of those who allow it to...

Rooted
Clouds pinched in the squeeze
above harvester hollow
quake those placid trees
to gulp each precious swallow
when fortune decrees
the chosen few to follow.

Despite all noble
intentions of enduring,
arrangements global
decimate cells maturing
once trapped immobile
by mortal traps alluring.

The wind picks up speed
in torrential bursts frightening
to stir living seed
that peppers pallid whitening
as knowledge gains speed
to hasten true enlightening....

A Decimate Manner
Mirrors to shatter as soon as she struts past
Her eyes can deceive the relief you perceived
Choke on your words, lose sight at her arrival
Unable to retrieve the beliefs you weaved

Immense terror swirls in your uneasy gut
Peeling off the harsh rind on your twisted mind
Your corrupt heart almost escaping it's cell
Sighs remind of that foul feeling, now refined

Shove them all down, let ancient memories drown
Forever lose 'your' crown, position as the clown...

Again
Brandish my content for God
the sake of man
is idling, while the role is planned
to decimate our futile band!

Oh poverty, I hold your hand
to shake not, with some righteous stand
but raise with mine, to take command
the revolution of cost's manned!

Is of the hour ~ is of now's span
the gathering, crowding, in demand
Oh people, weigh in, to expand
the change to order from War's damned!

A liberty, a life, force can ~
its leadership remove . . . . . again!...

The Beginning of the End
Come, my Child, for We are coming
We come to wake you from your fetal sleep
you shall send the foolish weaklings running
for in a world of death your soul will steep
it's time, my son, to kill the joy, for comfort shall be never yours
the lives of foolish fiends destroy
upon the burning shores
the time has come, you will arrive
you'll bring your fatal air and strive
to decimate the fiendish men
and say the sword is greater than the pen.
when you are dying, know that you are born....
