HUMANITY

He sneaks stealthily
Undetected
Making use of the shadows
Analyzing the surroundings
Nondescript in appearance
Indiscriminate in his selection
The shooter
Yellow coward

Interesting to realize…
 Resolution of the matter of suicide
  Only requires a few pills,
   Nonchalantly handed out by
    Indiscriminate Doctors, treating me for depression
     Completely oblivious of my intentions

But I did tell them…...

Fear stalks indiscriminate thoughts 
camouflaged by beauty's sweet scent.

And from safe shadows, schemes and plots,
leaving no clue, where the fear went.


(Rhyme)

"Fear is a slinking cat I find beneath the lilacs of my mind."

If your even vaguely religious and
 think God is the creator.
 Kneel, clasp your hands together and pray
 because I need the answer,
 why the hell is there Cancer?
 It has no regard for age,colour or creed.
 What is the thinking behind this indiscriminate disease?
 If you get a response please tell me please....

And here we are, on this field
Full of wealth and want...

Hawking love and loans like lollies,
Goodies of globalization entice the gullible ones,

Profits blossom [only] in well-made markets,
Global indoctrination indiscriminate and insurmountable,

Only the fit survive this global rat race 
When we feed the vulgar mouth of capitalism...

The history of man 
Provides ample evidence 
That the pen 
Of reason 
Is indeed 
Mightier than the 
Indiscriminate sword 
Of violence, 
That only that 
Which benefits mankind 
And the socially relevant 
Literature 
Like the holy Quran
Allmighty ALLAH’S 
Book of truth
Guidance, mercy, wisdom, enlightenment and revelation 
Endures the centuries....

Joy
Everlasting life
Sins paid for
Unlimited grace
Sorrows erased

Ceasing all suffering
Heaven and its pearly gates
Return of my savior
Indiscriminate love of all race
Soul is saved
These are my top 10 things that I am thankful for

***For 
     Adeleke Adeite Top Ten contest- Won 3rd place


***Also for 
     P.D.'s Most inspiring- Won 3rd place...

Age – and time –
have overcome
my youthful indiscretions
probably….
because ….age and time ….
withered my
indiscriminate behavior
age….allowing knowledge
time….allowing reflection
filtering the rage…of youth
through the scarring….of time
reflecting….
“If I knew then…..what I know now”
snarling
“you know now…. what you know now”
“what is different??”

Time. Time is endless,continuously flowing on.
Time waits for no one, indifferent, indiscriminate.
Time has no regard for anyone or anything.
Time is omnipresent, no one can escape it.
Time is omnipotent, ruling man and earth with a cold indifference,
Time rushes onward ever onward towards his own final and ultimate destruction.
Time is uncaring for when man is gone, time will still be around....

People with indiscriminate hugs 
they’re full of false pleasantries;
Never a thought when out of sight
it’s nothing but a formality;

They’re full of false pleasantries,
I’m too tired to fight go on lie;
It’s nothing but a formality,
that gesture is empty with no words;

I’m too tired to fight go on lie;
Never a thought when out of sight; 
That gesture is empty with no words,
people with indiscriminate hugs....

An ethereal specter
adorned in starlight
and bearing 
celestial
globe
of 
star-essence
appeared to me
and 
revealed
the future...

A warning angel
bearing a cautionary 
scenario
regarding
human ego
and
Earth’s fate
at the hands of
human-created
androids...

“Imperfection
cannot create
perfection”, 
she warned
and I wept
at the sight
of the
indiscriminate
bloodshed.

Portrait
By: Tom Wright
1/17/02

At God's easel I commonly gaze,
at my life's portrait, predominately brushed.
Observing indiscriminate brushstrokes through a haze,
I'm rendered by time, aged, but yet un-hushed.

But dried brush strokes, have proven good to me,
no poverty, nor craving, but was my claim.
A master portrait, with blems, for all to see,
with God, both artist, and encompassing frame.

Weapons of massive destruction
Disabled at the firing button.
Systems of hate shutdown.
Time warped and turned around.

Don't be surprised before your eyes
Are found. Changing color is sound.
Those of Gluttony for Glory sake,
A change of Way comes to take.

The sound is indiscriminate.

Shutdown of weapons imitate.
This includes your tongue.
Envy corrodes the fun.
Greed is a worthless One.

New logs are under construction.......

There is a coward
hiding deep within the walls
of helpless beings
only to strike its hardest
when they are at their weakest.

Indiscriminate
and wielding the power of
a merciless god,
it shreds the soul’s dwelling place,
inflicting pain and sorrow.

This fiend is unseen,
but its attack is gruesome.
In its cruel wake,
Death becomes the higher god -
offering up sweet release.

For Joann Grisetti's 
Cantankacerous Poetry Contest...

there are too many indiscriminate yesterdays
in my memory
too many I'll do it tomorrows in my
vocabulary
i could blame my daddy for his absence
or I could fault my mama for her negligence
i could put it on uncle incestuous
who caused me to become promiscuous
but I'm a grown woman with plans
to be confident and advance
to inspire people not to become
hopeless mothers
or irresponsible fathers
I'll start today
not in ten years or tomorrow
but today...

I meander among an indiscriminate sea of wildflowers 
allowing the scheduled seconds turn into unplanned hours

and as my toes browse through the rooted splotches of paint 
my thoughts sail in a nomadic wind devoid of restraint

looking for barefooted childish notions of a wander’s life
that swirl in the dreamy cosmos expelling one’s strife

but just as I found my youthful stars, away they flew
like a dandelion wish that patiently waits to come true...

Multitudes give me to innumerable receivers
As unremarkable, invincible and indiscriminate moments
While invisible to most I remain

Yet remarkable and individual, each gift
Unforgettable, isolated, singular and selfless
Unique joyfulness I retain

I bring a smile, a tear of joy
My numbers are untold, my craving sevenfold
Increased awareness I regain

If by now you have not guessed my name
I am a random act of kindness
To each in time, I come again

Breakings
by Michael R. Burch

I did it out of pity.
I did it out of love.
I did it not to break the heart of a tender, wounded dove. 

But gods without compassion
ordained: "Frail things must break!"
Now what can I do for her shattered psyche’s sake?

I did it not to push.
I did it not to shove.
I did it to assist the flight of indiscriminate Love.

But gods, all mad as hatters,
who legislate in all such matters,
ordained that everything irreplaceable shatters....
