disappointment
Loss of innocence
Corruption is commonplace
Endemic racism
A judicial system
That favours the rich
Lies are the new truth
How could it come to this?
Once I loved the USA
Insidious knowledge
creeps under blanket ignorance,
wisdom comes of age.

Loss of an Innocent Mind - Poetry Contest
Pushing past the tangles of imagery
faded torn things better left unknown
broken toys and metronomes tones
scattered after a Wars drone
the voices of infancy
the pain
the violence
a loss of innocence
pushing pass the imagery!
I am not inhuman.
Even though they made me feel that way.
No- it’s not a tragedy.
Because I am empowered.
Through a loss of innocence.
Through a stint of imprisonment.
I have escaped.
Only for them to try and hunt me down again.

A painted red and purple sky
Birds startled fly up high
Thunder rumbles heralding bad times to begin
These last days will mean the end
Who would have thought such magnificence
Would lead to ash and loss of innocence
For when war and destruction rules
We are left as idiotic fools.

The trigger lay steady and sardonic
in the hands of the ready stalker.
She lays unaware , a spot for each grand representation
of naiveness in her hair.
Full of innocence; didn’t even have chance to mature.
For the hunter was to ensure the value of her fur,
by stripping her bare of what she had earned.
She was nothing more than her new found horror
Cruelty danced 'cross his stencilled mustache
Sparks of Evil flashed from his roving eye
A wicked Sneer curled 'round his too-thin lips
His fingers like claws bespoke a master spy
Trench-coat pulled tight 'gainst the pounding rain
Stealthy his gait down the dark narrow lane
Alas! Two bullets lodged in his fiendish heart
Real life's not Hollywood, Mr. Humphrey Bogart
Act 0, Scene –2 : Eden, by the Water
Adam observes Eve as she emerges naked, unabashed from the water.
EVE
Her yellow hair,
Like wet corn silk,
Hung from her head as she bent to dry
The soft round curves
Of her warm, fresh skin
Aroused in him
Something
That he cursed
And craved
And did not really comprehend
Soft and bold,
Her blue eyes
Captured
His
THANK YOU GOD FOR SMALL FAVORS
Truth in all its forms
Defies men’s and women’s lies
Thank you God for sex
BAGGAGE TO HEAVEN
When I die my God,
What do I take on my trip?
Only love, my child
REMORSE & LOSS OF INNOCENCE
I shoot a rabbit
My boy sees the rabbit die
I can’t help but cry
KEEPERS OF THE TRUTH
Creative poets
Keepers of the truth are
Oracles disguised
The naked truth of hijacked leaves
when tree reveals a mockingbird
the wind with knives— the season’s thieves
applauds the loss of innocence
soprano song his spoken word
as summer turns a villainess
his merriment in verse she steals
to feed the winter’s sinfulness
where hunger flies and cries and kneels
to gods a songster’s soul appeals
the guilty— nylon-stocking blurred
...as ic’cles grieve neath ice-damned eaves
Fragrant flower, Jasmine infused,
the evening breathes comic book laughter,
colors white and green and yellow.
Our heroes, our saviors in bold of
twilight blue and mud red ocher.
Perfume fingers stretch forth on evening breeze
searching for that champion
only to find, beneath primary hues,
a miriad of diffuse pastel hides
beneath balloon exclamations,
our vain attempt to save us from ourselves.

The impulsive and wandering butterfly
was tempted by the candle’s flare
that burnt her wings
when she got close
and sent her falling through the air
She laid scorched up on the floor
her fragile wings would work no more
Tears ran from her swimming eyes
because her little wings were fried.
oh demon light
that I did seek
how you deceive
the brave and meek
who ought to know
a brilliant hallows
from the glare
of dirty tallows
I wake up screaming.
He's on top of me.
I'm naked and cold...
This is agony.
We were just getting high!
It was supposed to be fun!
Now I try to fight him off,
so I can run.
His hand covers my mouth.
He's stronger than me.
Oh God, it hurts!
I can't breath and I'm scared.
He's hurting my butt,
and pulling my hair.
I bite his hand,
and fight him off me.
Oh God, thank you!
I'm finally free!
Now just to deal with the fact
that he lives with me...
Innocence was lost years ago
Not mine, but everyone around me
Some things changed
White turned to black
Friends turned to enemies
Wrong turned to right
And happiness turned to depression
Escape was nowhere in sight
But i needed more than anything to get out of here
Everyone around me was changing Yet I didn’t want anything to do with it I didn’t wanna join them, I wanted out
I was overwhelmed and felt suffocated
Those were the years everything changed
And somehow I managed to escape it
