Lost
For 
eternal spring

Is this
War
Blood smeared 
Streets
Souls
Insanity

Proclaimed the 
Messiah
Prophet 
Of peace

The crowd 
Cheers
And 
I
Am lost
Alone?...

The sun, drab green
  The moon too quiet
Earth's cities wept
  Looting and riots

Mayors postured, spoke
  Their message 'woke'
The sun raced away
  Moon's light gone gray...

Raucous

Raucous, rollicking rain
Rambles on hills and plains,
Relishes rumbles in
Raptures of raw laughter,
Raindrops razzle-dazzle,
Rambunctious and rowdy,
Riots of rakish rascals...

Premium Member Strikes, Riots, Anarchy
Massive strikes in Germany
  Burning tires in France
    Drummers pound out a war dance
  
  But please do not worry
  Real change can't be hurried
    Except with a large cash advance...

To the Moon and Back
Propelled like a shooting star
Neverland is not so far
What an accidental chaos
Emotions roar in riots 

"I am a bomb 
 I am a missile
 I am a storm"

What a rush
An invincible gush
Cheeks in blush
love in cash...

Freedom
Feeling of relaxation. Home

Riots reach an end at last

Excitement built, yet tranquillity stays

Emotions calm. Positive. Cozy

Delight deluged throughout me

Optimism and hopes high above

Magnificent, but a rare feeling...

Protest
the 60's and 70's
a blur of confusion
death was always near
the end of the quiet
the start of the loud
assassinations!
spit on the soldiers 
riots in the streets
nothing has changed
except now the overly pampered 
protest over nothing...

Restlessness
I've danced forever;
temperance bound 
under this vestal spell,

a captive in these conventions of virtue,
in these endless circles 
of same guiding same, 
someone else's expectations 
deciding my every step.

All the while I entertain
the restless riots building within....

Premium Member Plagues, Riots and Quills
as soon as this latest plague is over
and the riots dampen a bit,
the gentle muse can be coaxed from  
the leper's mask and rubble,
to pick up the quill and start scribing
about frogs-flowers and fawns
or maybe It'll be inspired by a goose
that offered it's feather for the cause-...

The Peoples Vote
If we don’t Leave, 
riots in the cities,
anger won’t cease 
invalid democracy 
economy decrease
millions go crazy
blind to a peace
Remain minority 
Leave the beast

The Peoples Vote march in numbers
The Peoples Vote are outnumbered 
blind ignorant dumber
stop being such bummers...

Premium Member The Surge of Violence
The surge of violence is
seen and read in everyday headlines:
riots and religion's wars
are signs of future chaos! 
Corruption in Governments
induces a mortal thought:
Brutus and his accomplices 
are ready to stab Caesar in the chest:
is blood a way to avenge injustices?

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...

Burning For Justice
the weather, today
overcast, with a high chance
of riots and rain


dark clouds, gathering
tall towers and tipping points
enemies within


cities, simmering
angry hearts of righteous men
burning for justice


behind closed doors, committees
talk damage limitation

London Bridge Is Burning:
The kettle is bubbling,
Youths are whistling, 
Police on the run.

Nation angry,
Children hungry,
Bellies empty.

Riots rising,
Mothers bawling,
Cities burning.

Communication breaking,
Recession increasing,
Unemployment growing.

Politicians assembling,
Britain crumbling, 
People worrying,
Population dividing....

The Abode
There was a sunny spot in my eye,
a region of riots and ripples,
a cause for resplendence
in mosaic mysteries
and myriad myths;
Tendrils and creepers, 
ivies and myrtles 
and an emblazoned bliss…

There was a sunny spot in my eye,
beyond the honeydews,
the hills and the hedges,
that nestled the we;

the you and the me…...

Bargains galore!
Lots of people out shopping
All looking for that special gift
Carrier bags bulging
Keep an eye on the spending

Frazzled tempers
Riots break out
I got the LAST one
Don’t ever want to go shopping again
All I want is to go home
Yipee  ... only 365 days till we do it all over again!!!

With integrity under fire recant and
You'll be labled liar.' There are riots
On the streets now' parades about
The middle east, sad-guy just counts
Up the fines, he gets from, his u l e z
Low down feats, its not because he's
Muslim..' or the mayor that gives them
Room.? Just one thought an earlier
Britian never lived within such gloom.'...

Premium Member A Message For Us
There's a message for us
  in the news of the day
Much as we want it
  to just go away

All the riots and protests
  and wars that break out
Warn us: Time to reflect ~
  to quit our screams and our shouts

Change starts with one person
  That means you and me
Let's be Islets of Peace, of Tranquility
  For all the world to admire and see...

Premium Member Darkness Walking-
This is the darkness
 it is black 
So silent
And quiet 
Where is the riots 
Where is the discord 
Why is it peace 
or is it so 
Oh, Lord can't see my hand 
In front of my face 
So dark nothing but space
So much peace 
Midnight cast 
Where are the feet
As darkness runs the streets

Aggro
More violence is what we need
it seems that's all we see
on TV, video, and films
we even pay a fee.
We start a fight if we don't like
what someone else is saying,
cause riots at a football match
when we're not even playing.
To disagree with anyone
is certainly our right,
but not to condemn them for being wrong
just because you think you are right....

Parisian Skies
The skies of Paris were lit up
in 1940, when the Luftwaffe 
rained down armament...

Burned again in student riots
in 1968, with the protests
against parliament

Then again an apartment block
In 2019, Feb, arson after a 
neighbours' argument

And now the skies light up once more 
In 2019, now Our Lady's flames 
on the firmament
