Detached from the heart
Blinded by fear, led by greed
Shallow minds lay waste
Tainting words with foul actions
Careless of those who mean them...

As we clear cut out Forest 
and lay waste to the trees 
we unleash our demise 
like a revenging disease 
so be ye good stewards 
to the dark green domains
or it's regrowth will Feast 
on your rotting remains....

See, how all long for a catch
To utterly lay waste any latch
That hinders the status to match
With a forlon hope we search
The “Walls” will now hatch
A rising sun to watch!
Behold our horizon in a patch!!
Forever will be a floating yatch!!!...

Abraham’s mad ravings
shape a world of war,
brother battles brother
while women keep score.
Genetic mutations
of power and greed,
line pockets of prophets,
who’s will be decreed.
The earth’s precious children
lay waste in thy name...
Business as usual
proceeds just the same....

Unwelcome shades of scorn, I despise
On this woeful night I slowly fade
Spears that pierce, I feel betrayed
Dismayed, I sorrowfully close my eyes
Resigned to the tempter’s whim
I woefully ask, for him to forgive 
Yet I speak no whispers bid me live
Aught I lay waste to my grievous sins?...

Beat; beat
Mix; spin
Spin; Mix
Rinse
And Repeat,
Feel the beat
Pulse
And the heat,
Bodies moving
Grooving,
Measure
The tempo,
Sample the rhythm,
Let it seep
Into you,
Let it sweat
Out your pores,
DJ hold it steady
The music
Thumping
Out the speakers,
Soldier to the beat,
Lay waste
To the dance floor......

Quietly floating in brilliant colors.
Delicate, soft, and supple.
Easily torn in haste.
Smells of home in spring.
Upon erect stems some lay waste.
Looking wilted and torn.
Small particles fall to seed.
Close by a bud takes form.
Another day in the suns great warmth.
Gentle is a petals life, in deed....

As a coiled viper strikes
without reason,
unleashing its intense venom
to its unsuspecting prey—
Shock becomes entwined 
with pain in waves of desperation.
The viper, 
apathetic because of its very nature,
seeks only to serve its own needs
as victims lay waste in the wake of its trails.
You, my darling, are a viper!...

This two-armed gunman with an empty stare 
who storms the classroom, barricades the door
has shot the dancing student with the sunny hair.
This two-armed gunman with an empty stare
would claim in hostage all that we hold rare. 
Shall he lay waste our dreams forevermore – 
this two-armed gunman with an empty stare
who storms the classroom, barricades the door?...

Violaceous lulling bell
 Enchantment be thou spell
Prodigious tortile entwine
Weathered be thy vine

Solstice utmost fair
Lay waste to arctic air
Embedded mossy root
Colossal venue afoot

Keeper of florid bliss
Ambrosia ne’er remiss
Petals supple blush
Lavish wisteria lush

Wispy balsam waft
Caress be e'er soft
Atop verdant bough
Tender be thy sough...

If I could have held you 
 lay waste to these tricky words
instead of a tearful smile 
it would have been more honest; 

Lay waste to these tricky words, 
there would be no way to top that; 
It would have been more honest; 
The silence is all that makes sense; 

There would be no way to top that;
instead of a tearful smile
the silence is all that makes sense, 
if I could have held you....

Help, the dentist has got me to kill
Torturing me with her drill
Scraping my teeth with her silver hook
She is pretty but she is giving me that look
I will kill thee to cleanse dentistry
Do not resist, do not resist me
Scrub scrub with her buffer and polishing paste
Thee is done, begone, make haste
More patients I have to lay waste
Dont forget to settle thy bill
Lest I will bring thee back to rekill....

A long night without sleep,
Dreams lay waste to silence,
Scenes empty, moments lonely,
Thoughts wishful, action passive.

Shackles of redundancy,
A cycle, round and round,
A blast from the past eternal,
Plaguing every sleep.

Nights are not for work,
But the 'mares of fears,
Haunted by the stagnation,
Of old past, strong and near.

Hidden talents, pouring hopes,
Promises of good times,
Even when they come,
Good times don’t last....

Hate, is a ponderous thing to carry,
Its fire too passionate to be ignored.
Its consequence on one's heart is scary,
It devastates good things there stored.

Venomous thoughts must be curtailed,
Swept into amnesia from their start.
If permitted to endure, in life we've failed,
For hate will lay waste a loving heart.

Bestow patience, Lord, as we wait,
Examining all other points of view.
In life, no space, to accommodate hate,
And recognize that its because of you....

Looking up from the bottom of this pit 
The smell of my own disgust permeates the damp soil surrounding my soul
I’m living in darkness
Alone, I peer out, above me 
Clinching my hands together, asking for Gods help

The stench of tears, lay waste, bellowing up around me 
Caving in the walls that my existence exist in, 
I can’t go on 
Drowning in my misery 

Staring at wisdom 
Seeking direction, guidance to love
To give the love of my life 
Meaningful love...
