shaken foundation
idealism disrupted
politics takes a nose dive

YOUTH
childhood
innocence

erudition itched
self-disrupted sageness
ardently naiveté

"the blue moon and springtime of life"

Depending On Offending

On certain things had been depending,
And how repulsive it was and offending;
Surely outrageous;
Could be contagious;
Disrupted while upsetting and upending.

The backlash against CV-19 restrictions erupted
The plan to wear masks and social distance disrupted

   Now that the numbers are spiking upward again
   Will we have 'whiplash' with which to contend?...

childhood disrupted
by a fight against cancer
changed a young girl's life

chemo and amputation
renewed her for all to love

 child revels throwing
a pebble in the calm lake
stillness gets disrupted
rings of sparkling ripples gleam-
in perfect circles expand

Once to be all 
 As  children ring the bell
          hight  swirling cloud
           
Cloud rise as fire  tides rime
              Disrupted without witness
 
Claimed crushing  light in  fire of dime
  As we de innocence be the all

Wisdom being crushed
by the weight of knowledge

The arrogance of knowledge
balanced by the humility of wisdom

Simple words trapped
under the debris of meaning

One word lost
in complexities of interpretation

Humanity

Without which the "whole" becomes disrupted...

I’m plagued with muted memories
that at their leisure will just wail;
It could be the song on the breeze,
I’m plagued with muted memories;
Meals disrupted by fallacies;
My peace they decide to impale;
I’m plagued with muted memories,
that at their leisure will just wail....

As I Walk in winters cold
children seek warmth
amid parental windbreaks
disrupted by winters harshness
school buses arriving late
as for the sighs I hear
maybe it's just the wind
or if possible
the sound of my heartache

Daniel, Christina, Christopher, Alexandria 
I love and miss you all....

Some suffer for others crimes.
I’m one of those victims.
For I’ve known greatest betrayal and grief
Floating dreams disrupted by bad seeds
Even so, I do realize:
Right now, in my anguish
In the midst of great tragedy
Not gonna lie, extreme sorrow that seems never to end-
God, Lord Christ, Living Word, is with me....

"... Someday ..."

The sound of "... someday ..."
is the saddest serenade:

       Its Lyrics are the disappointment
              of plans misplaced
              and dreams disrupted.

       and it's coda are the twilights
              fading onto a horizon
              you've already crossed …

It all happened in a flash
That left echos like a bomb
Disrupted our process
Where did it come from?

I'm the one to blame
Now things are not the same
I'm taking pictures out of broken frames
Feeling endless amounts of shame

I played a messy game
Now it looks like I might lose
You even know her name
But, you are who I choose...

Eyelids heavy with sleep
I suffer in silence so deep
Mentally ill, be quiet and still
Depressed and anxious at will 

The circadian rhythm disrupted
My health surely corrupted
The economy they blame 
Illness and politics the same

Take-over bids abound
Power struggles all around
Capturing bodies and souls
The voters barely know their roles...

Creation
Between life and death
What is our destination?
Leave it to imagination
Stories unravel
Buried me in the gravel
Got to travel
Admist the worms and mud
Thud
Coffin lid creaks shut
In the underworld
Two years pass
What a stench!
A ruthless little wench
Disrupted my decay
To my dismay
Dug me up
Pried me open
All for three 
Gold teeth....

his voice is on mute
since texting takes away words
conversation rare

cell phone dependence
feeling naked without it
how can you reach me?

romantic dinner
disrupted by cell phone ring
eyes glaze, must answer

in great frustration
she chucks cell phone out window
date night is ruined

FISH BONE

In the middle of a meal
As tempting as Nebuchadnezzar’s table
She feasted fiercely
Without noticing the protruding bone,
in the fish she churns

Alas a cry
For help,
Creating a sore in the throat
Neither water nor food
Shall find its way down

For her system disrupted
Like our system of governance

She must be treated
For their to be an improvement...

puffy clouds regal
     float in wind swept spaces
                     lift
         brown flecked eagle

      birds in mishmash flight
        breaching boundaries
                    vexed
        by jets thwarting height

        courtship songs tumbling
        planes intrusive rumbling
        environmental grumbling

Sylvester was about to abduct Tweety
But Gran pinched his cheeks and called him sweety.
She put him on her lap, he reluctantly purred
While he kept his beady eyes on that yellow bird.
He leapt from her lap as she started to snooze.
"Now's my moment! How could I lose?"
But he disrupted Grans sleep when his face hit the mat.
Tweety exclaimed, "I saw a naughty cat!"

Thunder Storm
Written: by Tom Wright
10-20-2016

I awoke this morning to lightening strikes,
 And listened intently to thunder’s sound;
Praying for safety and for God’s protection,
For somewhere they were striking ground. 

It’s one o’clock and sleep has scampered,
Disrupted sleep makes a day appear long.
Thunder was so loud the bed was shaking,
God had me attentive to a firmament song.

Upon a landscape snowy and bright 
Sun glistens in flakes along their flight
Down into a home they've never known
Guided by a resilience they've always shown

A deer bounds close and seems to hear
As my footsteps near
Briefly, it turns to look
Majestic as though from a book

All around, life sings its familiar song
Suddenly, I realizs what's been wrong
In the quest for our money
We have disrupted nature's harmony...

The pink haired,
queen of the runway,
couldn’t handle
spiders in her boudoir.

When flying arachnid’s
trapeze was disrupted
for the fourth time;
arachnid moved into her 
favorite hatbox and laid eggs.

Upon discovering the squatters, 
Pink hair’s scream and subsequent faint,
sent eggs flying everywhere.

When she came around,
she quickly mastered…
tap dancing,
without one single lesson.

On this day pestilence had hands and fingers,
dripping with maroon redemption, soaked in alternate intention,
on this day even the desert felt despair,
felt the footprints of a poisonous discourse.

The Nile with a disrupted course,
soaked with a disposed corpse,
a pest by the name of Seth scarcely shook,
dismemberment with a calm dispose,
a surgeon he worked to implore,
the remains of Osiris,
a drunkard for death,
for blood a whore....

dark
pitch black
absolute silence
voice not heard
got killed or lost
path misplaced
dreams got away
aims lost focused-temporarily
plans got disrupted
just stuck 
where did life go?
dark in here
looking for light
signs being neglected...
a day arises soon
darkness shall overpowered by bright lighting
ray of hope sensed
voice will be listened
path come into track
dreams will be nearer 
aims refocused..
back with a bang!!...

THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW

One could share what a heart would allow
Back then, when woke was not a real word
Without ever a need for it to be defended
Things that were genuine personal feelings
But nowadays, law has become corrupted
And social exchanges regularly disrupted
Now it’s a monitoring of private dealings
Even when any offence was not intended
Social norms have become quite absurd
But it is a fact, that was then, this is now
