A child dies in Africa,
Where are your children?...

Nobody should be hugging, if you please;
We brought it with us from when chimpanzees.
Kissy lips is a humanity trait;
But humans ain’t, for the planet, so great....

Earth 
Unexpectedly
Rocked
Sun darkened
Moon dimmed its light
Stars  
Falling 
From heaven
Famine
Pestilence
The designing of sorrow
Seems like the end
My lawyer is screwed....

Tense from Trump Pestilence

The thought of Trump  made us tense;
He kept bugging us with his pestilence;
We must tattle;
Losing battle;
For it never received any recompense.

all the headlines
such a bore
yesterday's news
always the same
war, pestilence
earthquake and fire
a baby is born
someone expires
coffee cup in hand
I bring the paper in
wet, from morning rain...

Hollow engulfs every form
Asperity becomes the norm
Pestilence scars the face of humanity 
Poverty is in the soul, help us Almighty…
Yes, Happiness is but an illusion… 
(May you live in one forever )...

Fields Found Full of Pestilence

Fields were found to be full of pestilence;
Crops died and only thing left is silence,
And was agreed,
Buy more seed;
But many bugs existed on every fence.

It is my turn to face the flame
The darkest fire
Her wrath of penance
The woe from my pestilence
An evil army of deadly words
Damnation to finally pay
it leaves a sour taste in the mouth
I am now ended...

Pestilence, Poverty, War and Disease
sweep this world with valiant ease.
They ride again as once long before,
hoping that they wont  come anymore.
Humanity has its minutes counted,
As the horsemen have already departed....

Ahh 
The ever allure
Ehh 
The absence
Perhaps permits
To pestilence
Ehh
In the eyes of this wild
Luxurious way
Never be blind
Permit by persistence
Perchance a permitance
In luck and happenstance
To live this life luxuriously...

Salvation rises,
from the depths
of the unsure

Its light ablaze,
exposing fear
it must cure

Redemption hovers,
death’s pestilence
below

Casting all there reborn,
in eternity’s
glow

Moonless night under a cloudy sky 
The shades of gray upon my skin 
Solitude creeps so high 
On the hues of brown and green 

The only sound is deafening silence 
Despair is sickle that rips the heart
Emptiness is like pestilence 
That rips the soul apart...

Shave the devil naked
get that tail between his legs
Leave him bald and impotent
all passion left in dregs

Fleece this vile pestilence
in the flames his fate ensnared 
Shear what he embraces most
— temptations curse laid bare

The New Year
     like a blank page
          appears before me
Brings hope
	that new days
		dawn in peace,
Not clouded
	by divisiveness
		by pestilence
That body, soul, and spirit
	will be in 2021
		finally, free …
2020 will be irretrievably gone
	forever!...

As easy as the air you breathe but can't see.
Blind to the airless suffocation.Speechless for your last breathe. Gasping to be cleansed choking to death.The lights dim then bright again. Wasn't the first time. Won't be the last.Do you feel the routine of pestilence.

J-eopardy zone in contagion
O-nerously carries rabidity; 
N-astiness and eeriness
A-im to spread morbidity.

L-ethality and gruesomeness
O-f the hazard have grown; 
P-lague, pestilence, , and pandemic
E-merge in jeopardy
Z-one.

To live in the embraces of 
of self-love
means
letting go

of the toxicity–
of the negativity–
of the disillusion–
of the fear–
and of the doubt.

All of these at one point 
make us feel safe, 
but the truth is 
they will ensnare worth
like pestilence ensnaring breath....

Fatherhood is a serious job,
There is no time to slack off or to be a slob,
It requires tenacity and due diligence,
Indifference could cause children to be
plagued with all sorts of pestilence,
Fathers have to be stalworth and strong
in order to keep their children
from doing wrong....

Salvation rises,
  only from the depths
  of the unsure

Its light ablaze,
  exposing fear
  while pronouncing the cure

Redemption hovers,
  over death and its
  pestilence below

Casting all there reborn,
  in the warmth  
  of eternity’s glow

O, break your bread and pour your wine
don't fast on my behalf
you'll not find me in grain nor grapes
nor peering from the golden calf
that tempts you look away 

I am your shame,
the baker of unleavened will
the tainted hutzpah on your mind
a pestilence upon your pity
a barrier between you and the all divine...
