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?...

Eclipsed
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
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...

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....

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...

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?
Picture No. 2...

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…...

Black Friday
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.'...

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...

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
(c) The Didds 2019...

Who Would Do Such a Thing
Vengeful man sics dog
on neighbor, pats pet on head,
smiles, saying “Bad dog”!
After writing multiple versions, I decided I needed only seventeen syllables to convey my symbolic message! (written after being sickened by reports on riots at the Capitol)
