The human backbone needs all the strength it can muster
When our politicians lie cheat pillage and fluster.

He looked for some peaceful tillage
But the price of land
Was so out of hand
He reverted to rape and pillage...

She was a marble-hearted marauder
A plunderer and a loyal daughter
She sacked a village
Looted with pillage
Finding a lover within the slaughter....

The women in my Viking village
don't like domestic work or tillage.
They get much more excited
when they all get invited
on raids to go plunder and pillage....

quiet & understated
two words waiting 
at the bottom of the page
crouched as though
some other they might chase away
or bar from the path
tonight
i am once again allowed this trespass...

If I was a marauder
I would move to Kansas City
To pillage smelly garage from barbeque restaurants
Lots of customers do not finish their food
I would do it in May
Before the June flies swarm in...

The nature channel leaves me wishing
Us humans could learn from their need for living
They just kill to survive
While we kill to connive
Conquer and pillage, for dominance we're fishing...

Black, endless eyes, the wind
Flapping. Pitching star to port, 
Anchored cradle.

Grappling, a hook and cries; 
treasures engulfing desires. 
Ransacking, a pillage, flames 
licking wood.

The bottle, no message; only
a Ship....

jugernaut of the masses
call forth the minions
stockpile the odes
and breathe no more
hold into account all I have
pillage not unto my weakness
scoff not part now
plow the ground
and support the groves
of my shortcomings...

Mortals come & mortals go
Wry life will ever pillage, 
The sea and mountains remain
And will remain the village; 

Memories lace old pathways
With a painful tear or two, 
Lo dried with a mystic touch 
Fine sorcery time can do.

I am the father of lies
sell your soul to me
i am the lord of the flies
I can set you free
recruiting for my army of darkness
to  kill and burn the land
rape and pillage and destroy
come forth and take my hand
for i am he who dwells below
and what i reap is what i sow...

seven below zero
      silent angels
cold prayers


darkness falls on snow
      fumbling
for my keys 


metrodome cave-in
      vikings lose their home
pillage detroit town


frost-bit
      mountain climbing
your forgotten love


windblown snow
      covers my tracks
am I here?...

Hatred
(A disease that only God has the cure for.)
By: Miracle Man
August 30, 2020

Anarchist’s don’t want jobs and hate the badge,
Their desire is making others exist in their ruts.
They choose to loot, whine, pillage, or cadge,
and excusing this behavior shows a scarcity of guts.

Dear God
In the sundry scatterness of truth
And the sultry pillage of the brute
Bind me up again
In swaddling rags
And burial ointment for the pain.

For through death
I shall approach my birth
Better than a resurrection
Of lilies
From the immortal bulb
Of only faith
Dear God
Let me be consumed in you....

Rolling arrogance
Invasion of mind
Perception skewed by wire

Revelations are rarely kind
Evolution of self reliance
Pernicious egos construct conceit
Under the pressure of false-flag terror
Battling ourselves mercilessly
Leaving the thieves to pillage
Individual thought too great a threat
Constitutional privilege rendered dead...

The queen of the birds Sari was a menace to the village
                  She had the prying eyes and ears for every act of spillage
                           She saw Tara's husband in Sara's bedroom
                     She called out all birds and her creaky bridegroom 
               Out came the villagers when they yelled pillage pillage pillage...

I slept 
then I slept some more 
dreaming of being your whore 
a kept man chained to your wall 
released only for your passionate chores 
  
I will not weep nor beg or succeed 
I will pillage and mangle 
attacking each need 
and when you want more 
this little ol whore 
will excitingly feed   
on your graces with greed...

Galleons, uncharted oceans,
honest merchantmen take heed,
hijacked by the vile and shameless,
paradigms of pirate greed.

Storied legends blaze through ages,
rape and pillage mark the sway 
of buccaneers hell bent on mayhem,
cannons blast in fierce array.

Without compassion for a compass,
murderously resolute,
they take no prisoners, show no mercy,
sack the sea lanes, dissolute....

Pillage and plunder, have your fill
Indifference to my screams as you kill 
Living with the guilt, though you forget 
God hasn’t forgiven. No, oppressor. Not yet. 
Realistically we had this land, it was already discovered. 
I alone founded it. Leif found us uncovered. 
Me and mine treated it well and the planet loved us. 
Spanish crusaders, English invaders, now my land shrugs us....
