Premium Member Pigeon Deterrence

The moralists, twenty and two,
Know not what is like to ensue,
When, grasping but smidgeons,
They act as if pigeons;
They’ll probably hate me when through.

Premium Member Transparent Deterrence

Immigrant bodies pile up in Texas

After building a wall from ‘freedom’ glass

Green card for hard labour

Slave on dearest neighbour

Watch your companions expire en masse

Haste-Post-Haste


Married in haste
You would repent at pleasure
Beaded in baste
Distance that bent off leisure

Marriage tends of delay 
You got a pride of preference
That breezes out compliments  of your survey
Curved out gains that nullify your deterrence

Deterrence Apparently

Nuclear bombs are stacked
To use when an enemy needs to be whacked
With one leader having eight hundred bombs ready
And another matching them so very handy

Scientists move their clock 
Closer to the midnight slot
For mutual deterrence is the story
Locked with complacency with no glory.

                                         with fierce tears
                                     Swallowing the lie raw
                                        Life's fake comedy
                                  discomfort and deterrence
                                   Prefer the stories - grisly

Becoming Undaunted

When life is full of ruefulness
You should turn the other cheek
Let go of whatever has gone wrong
And try not to be weak.

When life is full of tribulations
Please don't give up on hope
Put aside your frustration
And find a way to cope.

When life is full of deterrence
Don't listen to what you are told
Disregard your fear and anxiety
And take a chance at being bold.

The witness

I watched the Shahed drones
Flying along the coast
In the Gulf's misty haze
Like grey birds in
Seasonal swirl.
I never doubted
Where they were going
And why?
Since the war began
Burning Iran with jungle fever
Their multiple operations
Darkening the sky
With oil rains blanketing the sky,
I knew it was an existential threat
And our children would grow in bondage
If deterrence failed and that
Was the message of Shahed drones.

With a Little Bit of Inspiration

With a little bit of inspiration

Written By Dean Masciarelli

September 30, 2010 (3:10pm)


With a little bit of inspiration 

I encourage you

To expand your imagination

Because this will allow you
to broaden your horizons

So that you can explore without limitations

Because it will give you the opportunity to 
do 
everything that you have ever wanted to do

And that includes doing things that you have never
done before by avoiding the deterrence of hesitation
