Premium Member Last Call

Our last pint of life
imaginary beings
we drink our future
restless humans, sentient souls
shall the 'tweens ever embark?

Premium Member Silent Witness

Reality sowed
from the steel city to stone
out of memories
where an era in truth thrives,
lucid a mind driven pen.

Population Control
           Is on a roll
           In the West.
             Elsewhere, however,
             Babies are--
             Price-less.

Premium Member Fervent Lunatics

Lunatic fringe
Fervent. zealous
Closed to any other information
Closed to any other possibilities
I prefer spending time with a large poisonous Puff Adder.


Slow Down

Rushing home 
Late at night 
The cemetery gates 
Wide open,
Warning me to slow down.

Premium Member I need to remind myself

We’re made to feel little.
Like peons on the board of life.
We’re not insignificant and interchangeable.

Wrongful Convictions

Yes, In God We Trust, 

but alas! 

We break that trust like beehives 

and poisonously sting with wrongful convictions 

and destroy innocent lives !

Premium Member Back on Track

Max and Russell
had a tussle
on the trestle
flexing muscle

Tracks were humming
Train was coming
Struggle numbing
Unbecoming!

No need to fear
Don’t shed a tear
they’re still here
raising a beer

Cheers!

One Ice Cream Known By All

Chocobar ice cream,
Definitely the childhood of all,
Still can be found everywhere,
In the narrow streets, 
And even the big malls,
Can we get some, Mummy?
The answer was rarely- "Yes"
But after you get some,
Your tummy would be blessed!

I'M Tired

Every morning we start to run
We feel tired of course, but son
No way to stop, Why? Others will pass us
So we run; run and run and run
From morning till night, every day
Is this a never-ending game by the way?

Systematic Society

WHERE DO

VIVID EXPERIENCES LIE,

WITHIN THE HEARTS,

OF HUMANS GONE BORED?

AS THE SYSTEMATIC MECHANISM

OF SOCIETY HYPNOTIZES,

BUT, NEVER THE

EVER WAKING SOUL WITHIN.




WRITTEN BY, CHADWICK ANDREW VINCENT
ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN NOVEMBER OF 2011.

My Kind of Town

No guns,
No drugs,
No outlaws,
No garbage....
Many things I would want to see rid
from my home town -
where I was born.
We have guns, drugs, outlaws, and garbage
littered everywhere.
This town needs you and I to make it right;
to make pride shine again on us.....

Premium Member Farmer Fred's Life Is Upside Down

Farmer Fred headed into town
Seeking for his sorrow to drown
He went in the bar
Someone stole his car
Merely more misery he found

Fred is mostly a happy clown
He’s almost never feeling down
Fact known near and far
Fred, life of the bar
Covid has life turned around

Premium Member Mirror Images 2

some 
look in
      a mirror

see an unloved
child

some
like narcissus
stay in love

     with a reflection


some 
reflect
     on life

and truth
       it portends


some others 
greet the
      morning light

   too many 
      others 

cry at night

Paper With Ink

The paper used to be blank
He isn't anymore
Covered with ink
He lost his old beauty of white
His meaning was changed
Hoping for good, to be better
Though, He was now covered with a story
Of someone else's letters
It ended, the old jewels of his
End of his world! End of his bliss!

Our Daily Bread

The streched begging bowl
Fate has dealt a harsh turn
The streets they do call home
Clean linen are but only stories
Hard pavement offers yet
But no comfort..
The future looks bleak
Hope is for the next meal
The street pastors sermons
Of a God they don't understand
Pray they do daily for a full tummy

An Outlook: The Supernatural Belief

There once a place
Filled with people from dark side
They were cold and unwilling
Some unaware life has ended

They go here and there
Or perhaps beside you
In front or at your back
Looking at you now

Going to forsaken places
 May lead to a dark path
Not aware of what’ll happen
Hence will be bewitched

Dawn of Realization

Earth still stained by man
  churned into barren lands.

Blood thirsty for resources
  leaving most little choices.

Their greed and deceit
  these conflicts repeat.

They continue to dominate
  using many others as bait.

They don't understand humanity's concern
  but a thermonuclear war from shall learn.

Conscience Calls

Morality is well and good
and every human being should
endeavour to do what is right
and live with others in their sight.
Our conscience is a helpful guide,
an innate sense to be applied
But Jesus showed us all the way
to find forgiveness when we stray.

Premium Member Impurity

Impurity

Where is the solidity of purity?
Where is the moral of solidity?
And the conservatism of life?

What do I see on the train at night?
Almost naked very young women.
The world has turned upside down.

Spirituality has disappeared from life.
The flesh pursues the soul, and light.
Women are more magnetic in long skirts.

Running For Survival

Horse gallops in the park

Eats the hay in the day

Sleeps in night fully tight

To enjoy the running day.



Life is calm and quiet

To run and run is the fight

Eat jump and then relax

Run to run is the climax



This is the horse story

The more you run

The more is the glory

Of running survival.

Rules

Be mundane
Don't be sane
Always be lost
Give the cost
Pay for pain
Pray for rain
Suffering is beauty
Dying is duty
Don't say love
Don't look above
Ignore the guilt
Society's built
Accept the hate
Take the bait
Never think
Let yourself sink
Never care
Enjoy despair
Follow the laws
Cut out the flaws
Submit to strife
This is life

Threads

Threads, like culture,
Are woven together,
Into pieces of cloth,
Statements, stories,
Epochs of insight
And glory.  Nature
Evolves despite the
Eternal light, what
Is the purpose
And point of life?
Silver skies shimmer
In our open eyes,
As the artists try
To describe color,
Lovers discover
Each other with touch,
Sewn together,
Thankful as such.
