If you're a Christain then rejoice!

Avoiding is taking care
Taking care of one himself
Taking care before being in evils 
Avoiding is a prevention 
Avoiding cure

yet engage prevention

Ounce of Prevention

If we could schedule
Wake-up calls with the Front Desk,
We would still hit snooze
When we hang up and sleep in
With pounds of the cures we love.

Premium Member No More Teacher's Golden Rules

   My teacher, she relies on prevention
   That is why she puts me in detention
     Ha-ha, I'll pull the trigger
     'Cos this is what I figure
   She probably believes in 'suspension'

Much Sin Prevention

Much Sin Prevention

In Southern use God and Son as an exemption,
Which always will result in much sin prevention. 
Add an evangelist,
To your long list,
And also have a period of Trump prohibition.

Premium Member After the Horse Is Stolen

Man's thirst for riches caused this unnatural disaster....
Innocent creatures and the environment paid the awful price.
Prevention not reparation must rule endeavors.

Premium Member I Forgive

I forgive
I forgive your arrogance
Matched by your ignorance
Interrogated by malevolence
I took you condescension
Your hidden intentions
Your lying invention
Politeness deterred prevention
I’m glad there was no extension

Ounce of Prevention

The lady robot doesn’t take
Her birth controlling pill,
She knows it could be one mistake…
Untested drugs can kill.

She doesn’t want a deformed child,
With gears and wheels all out of place,
Or with three metal mouths that smiled
Upon its baby face.

Premium Member Ounce of Prevention

Does wearing a mask make you ill?
Are you a social distancing hater?
Then imagine how you'd feel
Being put on a ventilator

I have had it, closed the door, turned the page read, absorb, apply and move on. A method to the madness; stagnation prevention... no moss grows on a bookworm. Stagnation clock-watching dead end job a dose of poblano couldn’t spice up.

Purple

Gray retangular speciticles

with long stems

that fit behind the ear

the world is tinted

when viewed through them

blocking the intense glow

of the sun

Portection

prevention

eyes hidden

everything seems so safe

feeling invisible

fear is non-existant

Ice In the Line of Fire

ice in the line of fire
prevention of a melting heart
we expound on certain pages in certain chapters
we inspire ourselves from the intentions of the messages
quietly we pray for better days and divine experiences
there is sunshine even when it rains,
and the unification of our love shines through

Premium Member Two Mouths To Feed

Trish makes a go of it, 
  as folks like to say
Two small mouths to feed
  with a third on the way...

Two husbands or three
  She isn't quite sure
A mere ounce of prevention
  Proved not a cure

The end's never pretty
  when a man walks away
What will be, tiny new mouth
  God knows, Trish will pray

Shall We Dance

shall we dance...

the old dance of romance
between two lost souls 
who have met by chance...

cool words, and quick wits
hide broken hearts, and loneliness...

fear the others intentions
test for damage prevention...

body language of meekness
eyes telling our secrets...

shall we dance
shall we dance
shall we dance

Sunday Cur Man

Down's Syndrome is such a big scare
Because it happens everywhere
So clinics should close
Since everyone knows
The greedy need more than their share*


*90% of the cases at one clinic are
attributed to Down's Syndrome but
the GOP won't fund research -  nor
prevention - as all the GOP needs 
is "approved" voters who vote
the party line

Premium Member Winds of Change

Winds of change herald coming storms; heed them but, contribute to the prevention of devastation. We are here to do a job; not to be a knot on a log. Every soul has a purpose and it is not destruction. When those winds begin; your heart should open. Winds bringing changes Must be attended with great care; Life transitioning. ,

Suicide Prevention: Pruned Not Severed

Half winged images
hopeless
of flight
believing
insufficient
to bestow
delight
Fluttering in shadows
reluctance 
to fly
disgraced
and shameful
reticent
to try
Hesitant to soar
averse
to fail
distraught
and untrusting
of what
may avail
Pruned not severed
capable
of aviation
when joined
together
and merely lifted
from isolation

Pragmatic Worrier and Prevention of Good Intention

Pragmatic Worrier and Prevention of Good Intention

A pragmatic  worrier may occur,
When in doubt and are not sure; 
Often  waited;
Contemplated,
And never has been known cure.

Even though they had a good intention,
Appeared some program of prevention,
And attention stole,
Trying to control;
In ranks did discover much dissension.

No More Tears

Happy winds heading my way
       Love, joy, precious, treasure, adore
Soft breeze caressing me to sleep
       Talk, forgiveness, let go, another chance
Tall tides exciting my soul 
      My protection, my prevention, my cure
Voluptuous waves dancing on my stage
       Dream, sing, smile, live!
Fresh air to wake up too 
       Yahweh, my life, Father, Home

Sorry Earth

Polluted wonder in my life.
Swim I do, dead fish strife.
Tiny pipe - mercury asunder.
Hidden death, waters wonder.
Mixed a few a new invention.
Empty earth with no prevention.
Silent death - acid rain plunder.
Don't wonder it's no blunder.
Lime song blues take it away.
Empty lake, brown grass sways.
Void earth erase all kind.
Start over, FLEA SIZE MIND.
