Paving way for the dusk of impurity....

The more that Trump can
Feel closed in on the more he,
Will like to lash out.

Behind a closed door
Where a man can lash out 
And win a battle - 
But doesn’t....

Lash out at those who stand by you
Tear strips off those who're always true
Deny the punches that you threw
And bite the hand that feeds you...

Where is the love?
Has it simply gone away?
Vanished in the wake of another day
Is it in our hearts?
The deepest part of us
Do we lash out at others in an angry thrust?...

Hold up the mirror and see who are
Your  inflated ego an your sports car
How dare you take it out on us
Lash out in anger an make such a fuss
Face the truth and have some couth 
Repent or the pain will not lesson
An stop this aggression
We will not be Threatened.........

war rages upon buttes
nature's elements lash out
against lofty peaks

frigid winds and rain
slowly carve out gaping wounds
indiscernibly

deeply scarred faces
erosive testimony
of battered bodies

And the river of souls
Won’t hear them
As they cry
And weep
Above the howling gale
Cry silently
Forsaken ones
Keep your breath
Your tears
Your money
Your gold
Lash out
Among yourselves
Blame each other
For your peril
And doom
The weak
The meek
Have gone
There singing
To a merry tune

I feel so angry and torn inside.
They say words can’t harm you, but they do.
More deeply and more hurtful than a slap in the face.
I feel as if im broken and bleeding inside.
Everything wants to lash out.
But I just keep smiling.
They say you should forgive, but my heart feels so battered that I can’t stop feeling angry....

You and I have two ears and just one mouth
so we all should listen more than we shout
but with our ten fingers and our two eyes
a tendency to just lash out online

Yet we've one hundred billion brain cells
form the opinions we allow set sail
when our sense of confrontation sits blind
we raise all Hell toward people online...

What do u do
When the love you feel
Is so real?
Love supposed to be the greatest thing ,
So they say ,
Sometimes it is in a way,
But other times not so much
How can you make a love last
When things happen so fast
When you lash out and say hurtful things, in anger
How to know when to separate love from thoughts or doubts, there's been so many I can't count...

There is always another collusion- 

That feels like a collision of promises that were made to me. 

This deception becomes stale. 

And even though I have come to expect it-

I am still easily captured. 

Because right before the dissociation is complete-

I feel the need to lash out one more time. 

Just to let them know what they are about to lose....

Wisdom 
picks on the dementia. 
I lash out in drunken rage.

The water world,
I stand on an island 
in incremental rain-

of denials. Time was 
floating on the shells. 
Sea was in sullen mood.

Sunless sky wants 
to start a ceremony of 
clouds and tears.

How far you will 
walk with a gypsy ?
I have started the journey for invisible.

High on tiptoes, fingertips reach for unknown eternity
No existence no seen reality nothing coherent
Tendrils of tight knit gold lash out seeking  
Connection, link to fingers outstretched
Music only heard inside mysteriously
connect strands of consciousness
Unawares of surroundings
Little boy, little girl
Dance, dance

Ripped, tattered, uselss wings

Cravings denied, heartless beings

Happiness was finally reached

Then you take her, ecstacy leeched

Gleaming smirks now faded frowns

Two for him, one for me

Loveless hate, can't you see?

Pain prevented, if only you cared

Instead you lash out, weapons bared

Multiple lives you would of saved

If only, if only, you had stayed...

It’s hard you know,
this chasing monsters in the dark.
Angels jump out of you, flicker awhile,
you see them, but you keep going.
Around a next corner there is a weapon.
it’s a terrible thing with two edges -
it cuts down as it strikes back at you.
You chase on,
no thing Iron-wrought with fear helps
You want to lash out,
but they charge in far too fast,
and they all have your face....

O the fury stoked by the parent!
Incited by a word or phrase,
Making anger apparent
And setting one ablaze.

Some lash out with strikes and blows,
Others with words or pen.
Some hold on until it grows,
Then they count to ten.

At times kept and stoked
Over days, months or years.
Others on tears choked
And sought forgiveness from their peers.

Patience is the key
To being fury free....

I have heard them sneer and jeer
At the devotion of the God-believing.
I have seen them mock and smear
Sacred evidences I am receiving.

I have thought to respond in kind—
To lash out in righteous indignation.
But Christ’s counsel tends my mind
And I tolerate every accusation.

It is futile to enter into debate
For they know what they know is so.
We will meet again at Peter’s gate.
Then they will know, then they will know....

Grief hides behind a veil of tears
that burns like acid rain;
in a downpour of anger, hurt, and disbelief.

Consuming every moment and every thought
grief, wants to lash out at the world;
desperate for some relief.

But nothing can numb the hurt,
as grief clings to death, and in so doing
devastates the living.

As love shrinks to memories
reflected within pools of tears;
Grief is overwhelming and unforgiving....

Oh my friendly flames
Flicker, fade and dance
Lash out at the this night sky
Singe my regrets of yesterday
And make ashes of my broken promises
Leaven unburnt only the inflammable truth
Let the embers simmer and raise up like a phoenix
Spread your wings and scorch narrow a trail of hope
That i may follow to its end where i shall falter and fall
And at that time i will call again upon you to flicker, fade and dance against my night skies...

I don’t know if you’re pushing me away or pulling me closer
I don’t know where I stand
I don’t know what you want from me
Or if you care at all

Your words lash out and hurt
Then lovingly draw me in
I don’t know what you want from me
Do you want this to end

Don’t turn tables
Or place this on me
Just come out and tell me
What it is you want

I can’t read minds
I don’t know where I stand
Are you pushing me away
Or are you going to finally let me in...

We search for perfection
The drama we can do without
We search for a world filled with loving people
We search to find what life is all about
People make bad decisions
People think of themselves everyday
We pray to creator
To better ourselves
Then go back and do the
 things we asked forgiveness for when we prayed
We lash out at each other
It may not even that person's fault
We hurt the people closest too us
We battle good and evil
At a cost
There is no perfection...

I don’t know if you’re pushing me away or pulling me closer
I don’t know where I stand
I don’t know what you want from me
Or if you care at all

Your words lash out and hurt
Then lovingly draw me in
I don’t know what you want from me
Do you want this to end

Don’t turn tables
Or place this on me
Just come out and tell me
What it is you want

I can’t read minds
I don’t know where I stand
Are you pushing me away
Or are you going to finally let me in...

When you’re in a bad mood
Everybody feels it
If there’s a ray of sunshine left
You’ll be sure and steal it

I’m gettin’ kinda tired
Of tryin’ to read your mind
People say under their breath
“and now what’s wrong THIS time?”

They know best not to cross you
When you have that certain look
You think your life’s a mystery
But it’s an open book

'Cause no one has to look too far
To see that you’re in pain
We’re on the path to feel your wrath 
As you lash out again...
