Kids

KIDS!
  -Dharga Nagar Safa

We are the beauty,

Whispered flowers,

I prevented them blooming,

Still,

World is beautiful!

Child Labor

A child on the street
                           Begging for something to eat
                                      "Future's prevented".

Back To: Silence

Seems that silence was a good friend.
A friend that kept close,
A friend that prevented: sound.
A friend that prevented: knowing
Silence was a good friend indeed.

Add Death

EVERY DEATH CHEATED,  ESCAPED, PREVENTED OR AVOIDED IS A DEATH DELAYED. 
PREPARE FOR DEATH TODAY
IT IS ONLY THEN YOU WON'T PERISH EVEN IF YOU DIE
IN ALL YOUR PLANS, ADD DEATH

What Life Is

Life is full of challenges
Full of Hardship 
It Cant Be Prevented 
But Are You ready For It.

Full of misunderstanding 
Full of sad endings 
But its just the start so be ready.
For Life Is There To Chase You.

Prevented and Contented

Prevented and Contented

Could hear some animals roar
Where people live who are poor;
From where will come next meal;
Not know how starvation does feel;
To them open up hearts and door.

Premium Member porch has a facelift

The porch looks great
She has had a complete face lift
The old rickety rack stuff is gone
New space opens up to a larger landscape
I am enjoying my yard for the first time
No railings, which always prevented my view.
A costly job, but well worth it.

Premium Member Old Age

we
all age.
our bodies,
not to mention,
our minds suffer ravages of old age;
though aging can be controlled, it cannot...
be prevented.
sad fact, yet
life goes
on

Premium Member So Much For 'scientists'

Love is blind, but so is hate
    Blind hatred of Trump sealed our fate

  Stupid lockdowns, stupid school closures
    Stupid masks never prevented exposure

  Yet COVID 'couldn't possibly' have originated in Wuhan
    ~ 'Scientists' couldn't bear to be DJT fans

Yet To Be

The flesh we wear today 
  may often deceive our knowing
To act as if each day is unrelated
  to the next will shackle us
  to the past
Exalted words 
 translated from inflated minds
have prevented prosper alongside 
  humility
For yesterday I was
  today I am
  and tomorrow I will be

Strangers

There were strangers at our door
Had we wanted, we could have prevented
Madness from presenting war

But they pushed as I saw, 
You did your best to stop

No illusion now my dear

They are real, 
Harbouring fear.

Rest for a while 

Come close
I promise in Heaven we shall hide and lock the door.

Premium Member Devotion Honored

Kneeling in prayer, the King folded his hands
  His assassination thusly prevented
  Times were different then, devotion honored
    ~ Stabs in the back were frowned on

  What Hamlet simply could not bear to do
  Today (that) would feel refreshing and new
  Not taking advantage of his arch-foe
    ~ Sheathing his dagger, away he tiptoed

Premium Member The Bird

It woke me from my sleep today-
banging, flapping on my window.
And when I heard it, I surmised
that bird returned to try again.

Bang after bang- it would not stop-
every day, it tried and tried-
not knowing glass prevented it
from entering expanse it saw.

Night Creeper

Thou dost creep within the night;
Damp ground and air to aid thy flight.
The darkness keepeth thee from sight,
While on my lettuce thou dost bite
And drape with slime.

But thou hast crept too stealthily;
And was not this the death of thee?
For though it was too dark to see,
A noise could have prevented me
From crushing thee last night.

Sense of Dread

There is a grinding in the back of my head. 

And stinging that makes me restless. 

There are implications swirling rapidly. 

Rumors that are thawing. 

It’s all so whimsical. 

And cannot be prevented, anyway. 

Standing up makes me dizzy. 

As does opening my eyes. 

Maybe I’ll sit back down. 

Sitting next to this sense of dread that whispers to me.

Premium Member Why Am I So Angry

Hey Big Government, I woke up today feeling angry,
and YOU are the reason why, thank you kindly.
All of you prevented me from flying, I couldn't see baby,
who is fighting for her life and could be taken from me unexpectedly.
All of you have no idea the monster you have released within me.
I promise, every single one of you is going to pay for this very harshly.

Threatening Desires

Ripped, tattered, uselss wings

Cravings denied, heartless beings

Happiness was finally reached

Then you take her, ecstacy leeched

Gleaming smirks now faded frowns

Two for him, one for me

Loveless hate, can't you see?

Pain prevented, if only you cared

Instead you lash out, weapons bared

Multiple lives you would of saved

If only, if only, you had stayed

An Antidote

A-n antidote is a remedy
N-eeded for an infection; 
T-o counteract the effects
O-f poisonous contagion.
N-ecessary antidote for flu
E-liminates the morbidity; 
T-he vaccine is a solution
T-o sickness so
E-erie.

U-nknown ailment is erased, 
G-etting out of the throat; 
T-he rabid risk is prevented, 
O-nce there's an antidote.

Rocks With Vision

Visionary rocks move through space unearthed
Wiped out dinosaurs within calculated boundaries
Asteroids act with immunity on the horizon
Steadfast as they enter atmospheres
Disaster is a foreign word
Sounds alone can not describe their vast intent
When impact comes again
Third rock from the sun will end
Solid objects can not be prevented
They will prevail against the drop of life

Frosty Morning 1

Plants stiff with frost,
a solitary rose edged with delicate lace:
the night air has tightened the earth,
prevented birth,
but the sun's heat starts to melt
the shimmering specks away.

All is peaceful on the grass,
the ice is cracking on the river,
ducks swim out
to stretch their feathery bodies,
after a cold night on the river bank.




From Perfume of the Soil.  Swan Press, 1999.

Premium Member Today’s Thought

Today’s Thought By: Miracle Man 11/4/2024 Every morning just before day breaks, come thoughts, God is dispatching my way. Before the rest of the house awakes, I'm arranging my thoughts for today. Today’s Thought It's easy recalling your struggles, that to ME you are yet beholding. But you give scant thought to the struggles, that I've prevented from unfolding.

Premium Member Pros and Cons

I hid in the pandemic,
although I got infected,
fearing they would laugh
at me. 
For it prevented them
from performing
their swaggering 
ceremonies,
functions,and parties,
and saved me
from the pain of
non-willingly following
societal norms I don't like.
I feel free and comforted
amidst the atmosphere
of simplicity,
but their egos tried
to surface
during the pandemic
as well .

My Next Ten In One Limerick

Woke up and these were on my mind.

Away, stay, say, may.

Waited, adulated, emulated

Contemplated, ill-fated, denigrated.

Send, extend, bend, attend.

Console, extol, sole, troll.

There, care, share, where.

Utmost, perfect host, boast, ghost.

Talented, prevented, consented.

Situate, hesitate, wait.

Obstacle, ridicule, mule.

Your limerick challenge for the day.

I Never Give Up

Looking where im at now
I sit back and think how
I remember I was a sun in december
Before I knew It I slowed to an ember
I let the coldness envelope my being
I lost my eyesight I was prevented from seeing
I gave low lifes the best of me 
And my habits the rest of me
I've sunk to the lowest low
And to this day I have nothing to show
Even if everyone where to split   
My motto is I never quit
