hard against the wall
the seat of death finally rests
in ironic drape, ropes hang
wicker basket waits
a twist, a turn, beheaded
mans inhumanity dealt

Honoring Liberty

There is no debate,
what we celebrate.

never racial hate.

Former colony,
freed from monarchy.
Honoring liberty,
not inhumanity.

Trump and Connival of Bible

Trump and Connival of Bible

Trump believes in connival of Bible;
Used for existence of his survival,
Message sent;
A mind bent,
And of inhumanity caused a revival.

Its Verses Defy

Perfection and honor,
 concealed in the words

Shame and disloyalty,
 rejected unheard

Deep in a poem,
 truth’s finality hides

Inhumanity cursed,
 —its verses defy

To change the human race-

Farm laborer
Produces
Food for you and me;
Commits suicide
Owing hunger and
Non repayable debt...
We accumulate
His grains
Eat
Waste...

Love's Dream

I desire to spread my wings, Soar over all the earth, Seeking out pain, misery, hurt and fear. Then descending as a dove, Bring Peace and Hope. And so stem the rising flood Of man's inhumanity to man.

Game of Thorns

thorns of the frontier fence 
is venomous!

these thorns sting and kill 
the innocent peoples 
to save the rank of kings and queens;

these thorns understand 
only vengeance killing; 
not humanity!

Blacker Than Black

There is evil that offends evil.
There is black that is blacker than black.
There is fault-free blood that is a running river.
There is inhumanity that supercedes insanity.
How shall we call it, write it, remember it?
Putin is its name.

Premium Member From a Thug To a Bloated Slug

Hey Tom Cunningham, you could help bring Putin down,
Plastic surgery has made him into a legendary clown,
Ridicule him whilst highlighting his inhumanity,
Mock him but telling of his insanity,
Advise him his plastic surgeon should give him a frown

Emotions

Hate is not love,
love is not hate.
Sorrow is not happiness.
happiness is not sorrow.
Emotions are not fake.
fake is "I'm fine, I'm okay."
Opening up is a blessing,
to not is destruction.
Emotions are not inhumane, 
inhumanity is to not have emotions.

The Only Shame

Man’s inhumanity to man,
knows no country, religion, or race

Man’s inhumanity to man,
the only shame time cannot erase

Man’s inhumanity to man,
as constant as the spring driven rain

Man’s inhumanity to man
—rising over and over again

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

Black Sheep

Their blisters 
and cracked lips 
can only be imagined; 
in dire thirst 
and wants,
came those starving seasons
to strip them of pride 
and heritage.
Bound in chains 
across storming seas, 
however they survived
in those plantations,

they reaped so dearly
from man’s inhumanity.

Man’s inhumanity to man,
 —rising over and over again

Togetherness In Life

Thinking amicably is an ability that a man thinks to help others
time passes away peacefully of all as a man thinks of his affairs wihout bother.
All are equal that all has to think and unfriendliness seldom thought
and we live together with all man and inequality, injustice and inhumanity always fought.
