Wasting Time With Temptation

A power struggle with my flesh
fighting with my impatience
playing tug a war with my addictions
arm wrestling with my anger
shadow boxing with my fears
temptation is such a waste of time

Premium Member living with an abuser

the pouting begins
abusers manipulate
first apology

within a few weeks
a blatant power struggle
narcissists rule

welcome to hell house
you can never fully please
seriously run

he will seclude you
she will leave permanent scars
they are abusers

A Sleeping Giant

Eyelids heavy with sleep
I suffer in silence so deep
Mentally ill, be quiet and still
Depressed and anxious at will 

The circadian rhythm disrupted
My health surely corrupted
The economy they blame 
Illness and politics the same

Take-over bids abound
Power struggles all around
Capturing bodies and souls
The voters barely know their roles

A Power Struggle

the quay is where he sat.
     deep in thought, he speaks out.
     “my money is my clout.”
he rise and walks.

     the quayside beacons him.
the pelicans he hears.
     he ponders his past years.
the muse was sent.

     his journey to pier lands;
     he sits to disembark.
the singing of the larks
brings deep thinking.

To Seek Knowledge

TO SEEK KNOWLEDGE To thine own self be true. Why am I here? From where did I come? The mighty will fall. What is the measure of a man? What is a power struggle? I am an aftermath of Civil Rights time. What happen during Civil Rights time? What was the Civil Rights Movement? A fight for social justice is a fight against social injustice. Why am I here? From where did I come? ___________________________| Motif: Truth

Premium Member Kindness

A power struggle of the races
doesn't' need to be
as skin pigmentation
is what we simply see.

Though deep within each soul
is more than red, yellow, white or brown
there lives the spark of kindness
and generosity to be found.

An interracial society
brings more that variety
It blends and enriches cultures
and inspires the world to see...

That prejudice and racism
never should exist
just love through integration
where happiness shall persist.

Premium Member Politics

Politics
Activities associated with
The governance of a country 
As simple as
The administration of an organisation
But there is always power struggle
And greed for wealth
Politics become unusual 
Because of power struggle 
And greed for wealth
A sordid affair indeed
Conspiracy, canvassing
Scandal and bribery
All make things complex
And bring great sorrow to the people
Who are ignorant and innocent
Sometimes
We should blame the politicians 
But not the political ideology
