Premium Member Just a Simple Diagnosis

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

old age full of woe

History They Didn'T Teach You At School: 2

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

Premium Member Marble Hearted Marauder

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.

As I Pillage Inspiration From Your Pages...

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

Enjoying their finest cuisine city aside this sea; the crux....
Sipping vintage time their mother's pride ancient wine refined
Patrimonial pillage piece de resistance his father's free enterprise ?

Young Stan, the 'People's Man,' led a protest
'Gainst all the 'rape and pillage' by the West --
   Demanded reparations
   For indigenous nations -- 
His 'White Privilege' left Stan dispossessed

Premium Member If I were a marauder

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

Premium Member Pirates

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.

To Call

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

To God Be the Glory

This candle burns slowly —and with the severity of courage
We pick our way with utter caution down the bombarded stairway
One thing is certain: we must flee from this scoffing pillage.
Aided by fluttering tallow, our vision is haunted by the airway.

Sorcery of Time

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.

The Dark Lord

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

Premium Member Five Winter Haiku Kerouac Pop

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?

Premium Member Hatred

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.

Balm In Gilead

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.

H.R. 3162

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

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

Whore

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

Sea Wolves

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.

Pilgrims

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.

Generational Slaughter

From the ashes, arose the Phoenix unlike any other 
Destined for damnation and destruction 
Abruptly, the ground trembled 
A bird like creature shot from the ground leaving the onlookers petrified 
With an enormous wingspan, the creature began to pillage 
Not a word was said but action became the verb 
Eyes wide open but belief is a distant vision 
Forever oppressed by gouls and goblins
