Premium Member Spatter Riot

Spatter Riot

Percolating slowly through the thin orange sheep skin,
The poison of chaos oozes through widening pores,
Bringing to boil the spattering seed of evil.


Riot

the mirrors and glasses can't help but falling
the tough and the mindless can't help but brawling
when earth's soul gapes through the looking glass
only pure spirits can protect it.

Fall Like Riot

Under a spell on a starrynight.
love is only about to begin.
theres no other path ,
but the path into love.
im watching my heart fall in love.
till the end of time.
im watching myself fall like riot.

Made of Riot and Rhinestones

I am
                 far
                      too

Big Riot Beginning To Form

Big Riot Beginning To Form

Sure has started out as one heck of a storm,
With all attention that is given to tax reform;
Enough for now;
Get by somehow,
While outside big riot was beginning to form.

Premium Member Mutiny

Soft, like solitude, silent and still Soothing away the sorrows, Grumbling, rumbling, suggestions Muffled by mystery, our history – Trembling beneath the shadows, Quivering in life’s strange insurgences

Premium Member A Riot Or Ugly Violence

Has there ever been a time in history When war or something similar Like ugly violence or a riot People are never satisfied never content Never happy with their lives But there is a solution... trust me There has to be... SMILE!

Your Enticements Are Incitements

Never say never

It could happen
It could not

Committed to
Non-commitment 

Vocalizations stuck on
Silence

It's enticing?
It's inciting
Riots
Put your President
Behind bars
Unlocked my cage
Set me free

Free to roam
In the predator's enclosure

Your enticements are incitements

Premium Member A Riot of Color

Yesterday the trees were bare
  Today tiny buds sprout everywhere                                                  

Bright flowers bloom within a day
  Lilacs, daffodils, bluebells 
                       Why wait for May

Spring bursts forth in a riot of color
  If my tulips could speak 
               they’d whoop and holler

How calm was the riot

Heated to silence 
Cold in violence 
I wish i could not dream
I plan not to sceam
I heard they were quiet
How calm was the riot 
To claim victory in nothing 
To hold on to while you are wanting 
Its best could have been worst
I died drowning in what i thirst 
Redeemed by my guilt
I stand on how i wilt
If i could hear what i see
I may believe that I'm free

Premium Member Kenosha Burned Last Night

Kenosha burned last night,
The flames engulfed the streets.
The peaceful protestors rioted.

Shops and stores set alight,
The flames lunged forward.
The peaceful protestors looted.

Homes and houses lit so bright,
The flames rolled toward them.
The peaceful protestors rampant. 

The Gov denounced police
And bound the NG with ROE.
The peaceful protestors released.

Premium Member Try It -- Riot

~ Try it -- Riot ~


   Hop on Cop
   He eats Slop
   Off his Top
   He'll go Plop

 Burn things down
 To the ground
 Inhibitions unbound
 Flames' crackling sound

  Loot a store
  Take some more
  Work's a bore
  What's a riot for

  Do your best
  To disrupt the West
  You're just a guest
  Til power you wrest

  Have some fun
  Shoot your gun
  You've already won
  This country's done

Premium Member Diet Riot

You're not doing well,
  Ya gotta lose weight;
Keep track of every particle
  Of food on your plate.

Count calories obsessively,
  Go on diets galore;
Don't even eat jello,
  'Cuz "there's always room for more."

Drink water constantly
  Eight bottles a day;
That'll surely take
  Your appetite away.

Yet at the end of the day,
  When all's said and done;
You lost one whole ounce,
  Was that any fun?

Quiet Riot

Words without meaning endure
Linger on the floor of boredom
As if they had more prominence
Said to be repeated in silence as clear
Whispers of importance visit the forest
Where ancient whispers are still born
Just over the hill around the bend
Rivers flow out of their depth
Out of reach and speechless
Thoughts flow with them crowded
They keep quiet to keep the peace
And listen for a heart beat in the distance
Coming in cloudy but clear

Premium Member A Party, a Ball, a Bash, a Riot

Let’s throw a big spectacular bash. 
And party with a smash and some flair.
Then we can grow a sexy moustache. 
And party on our face with some hair.

Maybe we should just have a ball. 
And party with black tie and a coat.
Then we can all just go out on a trawl. 
And party with the waves on a boat.

How about we all hold a crazy riot.
And party with a shout and a scream.
Then we can all just be really quiet.
And party by ourselves in our dream.

Shopping Is a Riot

Broke the door
Gotta Iphone4
A TV
Dvd
Laptop 
I can't stop
Popped back in the shop
Ooh! ooh! another Iphone
Gotta go home 
Cant carry any more
Me arms are gettin’ sore
But I think I can manage two more
So back into the store
For me 8month olds son a fluffy toy
And me 8year old a game boy
I think I will call it a day 
Gotta home quick a and sell them on ebay.

*Bloody riots in London. When all the smoke settles who pays for it we do, the tax payer Bollocks.

Who Do We Call Them

Walking
Running
Bringing impending doom.
Who are they?
They claim they're heroes.
But not a single hero was there that day.
Who are they? 
They say they are Patriots.
Peculiar for traitor to say.
They screamed and shouted
Creating such violence
They screamed and shouted
Spewing out venom.
The blue showed up
Not even stopping them.
Nobody seemed to stop them.
Why aren't they stopping them? 
Why? 
Why?
Why?
Because,
They are one and the same
One and the same.

Chariot

To War goes a Chariot:
To a Special Riot; 
With Quivers of Arrows, 
Bones piercing with Marrows… 

Had Throwers of Javelin, 
All through Men, no Jocelyn.
Chariots were for Elliot 
And Judas Iscariot; 
Largely part-horse, part-cart
You’d see and lose heart!

The Armored Car of Old,
Now in loved plastic Sold;
For The Tough Kid as Toy,
Future Soldier still Boy;
Some in Expensive Gold:
Their drivers fierce and Bold;
Ready to Homes destroy.
Make one cease being The Coy!

Worldwide Riot

It is blooming
Up from the ground
Anger is fuming
But it doesn't make a sound

All this i've seen
All this it's done
Under the sun
Turning brown to green

But it's not a plant i speak of
It's a message that is said
It has been sent from up above
Now its in everyones head

Killing time is normal to do
And this i mean literally
This will come we all knew
And not just locally

No this will be worldwide
And there's no way to avoid it
You can't run and hide
Not from this riot
