Grant me freedom, freedom to be what I choose
Do what does not injure the lives of others
Have what I create or exchange not plunder
Not free lunch title...

The car must become a freethinker
Case someone it might greatly injure
It clearly must steer
And brake and change gear
And give other bad drivers the finger...

They miss the point
with their pointed finger
as if the soul can be pointed at
and found out.  True the finger
does not mean to injure,
but it is so very pointed....

to be a saint 
injure your hands
with giving
torture your soul
with compassion
bruise your feet
with gospel journeys
bite your tongue
with preaching
leave your comfort
go to streets
sainthood is there...

In wintry weather this
is the stuff that I dread.
I slip and slide to work
in the early morning -
I expect to fall and
injure myself - although
it is indeed pretty!

When the Internet goes down, it's basically over
Gives permission to injure the neighbor's dog Rover
Other things are permitted
Such as infidelity committed
But murder's off-limits cause that's not kosher...

Did you fall? No, I was checking if gravity still works
Now that was a smart-ass answer... help! I need a nurse
Preferably a sexy one
To make me come undone
Will intentionally injure myself, first time since birth...

Why didn’t you use cardinals? Asked the one who is never pleased.
Her harsh words used to injure my feelings, take me to my knees.
Today I said, “bluebirds look so pretty with valentines, red.”
She did not make another comment, this non-artsy type, Ms. Fred....

heave bursts from lips can both injure or heal
harsh words strike deep the bayonet’s metal
while kind words stroke soft as a rose petal
floral scent~ gardener’s sweeter appeal

Life is a whirlwind spinning out of control.
It's hard to keep up, and stress takes it's toll

It's like a spiral effect,
when ourselves we neglect.

When we injure our soul
it leaves a big hole.

It's hard to repair
and not taking care,

will leave you lonely
It will be just you only....

Bear your soul
Leave it open
In a stark and naked world
Where to do so
Leaves you vulnerable 
To attack from others

And when they come
To injure you
It is difficult then
To trust these ones
Who stab and claw
As the flesh is flayed 
From your back
And the wounds made
Never heal again.

We could cross the copse with ease
yet risk no wound to our knees,
if we'd wear our heavy boots
and watch hidden roots of trees.

Jungle demands ease
don't injure your knees.
Heavy hiking boots
handle those tree roots.

Bullet fire 

A short period of time 
When she gets back from 
Que of dream 

Her eyes is in the lake of 
Glowing leaf 

A bullet fire in a street I 
Injure from my soul  
Her eyes shot a bullet. 
Fire when I miss you 
She doesn't need gun 
Then how she takes bullet. 
Fire any gusse how many 
 Fire  ?

rhetorical questioning 
deliberately thrown 
aimed bellow the belt
meant to hurt 
meant to injure 
meant to wound 
meant to sting
all in the name 
of dramatic affect 
used as a means 
of getting the intended 
point across within 
this play of swings 
in mood upon the 
maladaptive stage 
of this unhealthy 
realm of reality in 
which we lived...

There are instances in nature that imitate the nature of some humans.
Tis sad but true that...

a mocking bird makes fun of another bird who sings more beautifully

a thorn pricks until it draws blood, but cannot injure the rose

a moth thinks he's classier than a pupa, until the butterfly emerges

a dog chews on a bone but he never gets to enjoy the meat...

Who done it? Where did you go?
Why do you want to injure me so bad
How cannot I not live without the cold, refreshing, caffeine
drizzling down my bone dry throat, making my body roar
with pleasure and shake with pure delight. Who took the last can?
Oh, I found you. Now my tongue can tingle with my head hanging back
as the gratifying Coke proves, Its the real thing...

J-ust let go of the situation, 
U-nder the will of the Father; 
D-on't let the pain injure
Y-our mind and soul forever.

J-ust let go of the situation, 
A-fter your heart is badly hurt; 
C-omfort your life with silence, 
I-nstead of noise filled with dirt.
N-o reason to worry about, 
T-rue God will give protection; 
O-n the first of December, just let go of the situation....

Don't take me for granted,
Don't play no games.
Don't gossip about me,
Don't call me names.

Don't try to cheat me,
Don't do me wrong.
Don't steal what's mine,
Don't stifle my song.

Don't treat me like a fool,
Don't step on my pride.
Don't lay hands on me,
Don't cast me aside.

Don't belittle my friends,
Don't tell me lies.
Don't injure my family,
Don't forget I'm wise....

Short Fuse

It’s not the way it works
when I go down
I go down hard
it hurts to hit the bottom
it reprimands me

I hear your voice
but 
can hardly 
make a choice

so please burn the poems
if they injure you

don’t be swept away
by fire that seared me
when I was young
wrecking golden days
driving me to write
in the
heat of 
the 
moment

At night when silence shrieks everywhere..
My shallow soul roars your name..
I feel empty inside..
As whatever happened was all my blame..
I drive into the sunset..
So that what I feel, you may feel same..
I Exhume corpse of mad infatuation..
That is how I drag myself to become insane..
I injure my drowsy eyes..
I torture my dead heart..
That you still exist in my existence just for this claim......

I have found that throughout life
You can be a needle or a knife.

Either you heal, repair, and bind
Or sever, injure, and divide.

With words and deeds we so ordain
To be arbiters of peace or pain,

To fasten tight or slash apart,
To cherish or to break a heart.

Each moment shapes the tool we use
So today,  which will you choose?
