Predecessor, May Dismay

A Predecessor, ... May, Dismay

Leave Them Be

Predecessor of the dog; wolfs purpose is a special one.
Without wolves, water cannot flow freely; something all life needs.
Leave the wolves be or beavers will overrun the waterways!

The Kuttab

Rigid and small in dunam
Revelations glued into baldam
Literacy filled amalgam

Inherited from its predecessor
Abram the Hanif ancestor
The legacy of pilgrim Lordor

Revealed command “read”
The order was repeated by lead
Coupled Shafa than ennead

Justifications of Dictatorship

Is it not what people wrote 
The problem
But the interpretation 
Of those who choose 
To use it 
For there own twisted ideology 
Because they can't come up
With ideas of there own
Every Dictator creates
A vision which there predecessor 
Would turn in there grave
Justifying

The End of a New Beginning

my Lord beaten profusely about the head and shoulders each blow more devastating than its predecessor until thine eyes rendered nystagmus. the strain of the world’s sin sowed predominately thy soul in sorrow in the physical strain of the torture of thy darkest hour.

The Water Bearer

He carries a jar, full of water;
water that no one knows its source!

He pours water as he stands beyond
the stars, as Pisces, the twin fish, continue
to rule over their astrological reign
on Earth.

Just like their predecessor, Aries,
they will end their astrological reign, 
when water from the Water
Bearer’s jar reaches Earth.

So Long Sacagawea

Poor Sacagawea we will no longer see. She was replaced by the “Father of our Country”. Just like predecessor Susan B. Anthony, Sac’s image is no longer on our money. Some presidents are there now. You have bid adieu. You carried your papoose on the front in plain view. Before the dollar coin, we knew nothing about you. It seems women are done no justice by the Mint. As was Sue, your presence was less than permanent.

There Is a Lake

THERE is a lake somewhere
'midst pollution, coots & comorants thrive
Jewel in our overflowing sewage 
Creation endures Curse of (ANC, Adam &) Eve

NoTE:
ANC is the ruling party & government majority in South Africa since the elections of 1994. With hardly a basic maintenance program anywhere, every hospital, school, office, utilities, and national treasure left THE ANC by its predecessor (NP, nationalist party) is an eyesore, tragedy, or will soon be).

Kansas Wind

no wind is stronger than a Kansas wind
today she is in her glory
blowing lawn chairs upside down
there goes a plastic bag
it might travel three towns over
my apron is not staying tied
the porch swing is clanging against the siding
this wind may not be a twister
but we know she is here
blowing clothes on the line stiff as boards
ground animals are burrowing into nests
sometimes Kansas wind is a predecessor to hail and thunderstorms
today seems like one of these times
