Hypocrisy Xii
Being indulgent with oneself
But intolerant with others
One, inevitably,
Succeeds in imprisoning himself
Within the walls of ruinous hypocrisy!

Harmony and Cacophony
If Man
could ever learn the language of harmony
that nature is speaking
he
would never feel the need for the tongue
of ruinous cacophony to use!

A Conflict Within
Low and lonely, but not to succumb
Through warring thoughts a pitfall deep
Ireful, rueful, contort
This speaker’s blunder deemed
Subdued with met solution
Devil’s plot decayed
Ruinous intent aborted
Blithe courage keenly resumed...

Song of Despair
My heart, rent and discarded
Banished to Heaven's yawning wound
Ruinous words moisten your lips
And drip like poisoned honey ...
For now you love ... another.

Freedom's Demise
Taliban advance
Ruinous darkness follow-
Freedom's sun eclipsed!

Face Chewer
Face Chewer
The reek of desperation
Exhaustion
Can barely speak
A ruinous confrontation
No sleep – over weeks
Violent situations
Arise – in they creep
Like vermin
Human varmint
You spent what’s reaped
You kill every moment
Reeling to Invent
A life of abscission
A world terminable and b...

Winding Up
Pressure swelling in my head
Straining behind my eyes
Tainting the world with scarlet red
Reason starts to die
A flashing, soundless, fiery storm
Screaming in quiet alarm
Descending in a poisonous swarm
Causing irreparable harm
Violence, now my only desire
Smoldering self-erosion
Burning like a white-hot fire
Terminating in ruinous explosion...

The Mighty Eagle Feasts
The mighty eagle feasts
The sleek swift fish leaps and steals
The lovely meat for himself
Bless the fish who did not base the
Flawless beauty of his faith on doubt
The mighty eagle circles low for he seeks revenge
And I am the widow of elegies
I go back to the follies of my youth to see
How ruinous my last move was against your love...

I do not know?
Bury a Genius In the Sky
Can’t we bury in The Sky
One who is A Genius
And simply cry
For The With-Ideas Ruinous?
Bury in The Angel’s Sky
Minds brightly lit
But cheaply cry
For ones like dark pit?
Inter in The Azure Sky,
Whom his ideas weren’t split
But drily cry
For facts that wouldn’t fit ...
Genius we bury in The Sky
To show that we aren’t as high....

The Wind and the Wave
A slice of sea whisked its way up as wave
Spinning sun's refulgence whithin its whirl
The trouncing wind lashed it with ruinous rave
To toss and tear on shores its lustrous swirl
Silhouettes interred in silent sand grave
Reeked of ruddy remnants of comber brave

Peace and Quiet
I loathe the sound of modern life
man made machine, electric knife
chainsaw rip through old oak bough
it seems so inhumane, somehow
give me peace, tranquillity
the robins chirp, the creek of tree
buzz of bee, or croak of toad
maybe I am getting old
not for me the the whirr of drill
tranquillity and air of still
is all I ask this gorgeous day
take your ruinous things away...

Make Money
They make marriage a priority,
And forget the necessity,
Love fade, love vanished
Money radiate vivacity,
Make money, marry your equal,
Let it be superfluous, it command obedience
Don't marry in poverty,
is disastrous, ruinous and lethal,
It tattered your soul and lead you to pang
Don't believe in their motivations,
Money is happiness,
Make money and see obedience....

Faith
The barren feed the barren,
and empty hearts a like in manner seek
to satisfy a sadness, stuck deep
within the marrow of the meek.
They blame the cheerful, and cast
them far beyond their realm of consciousness,
while coddling the joyless with sorrows
that would spoil true happiness.
Faith will master self-deception,
reduce to ash the flame
of ruinous self-interest, and sow
the seeds of gladness once again....

Joy
The barren feed the barren
and empty hearts a like in manner seek
to satisfy a sadness, stuck deep
within the marrow of the meek.
They blame the cheerful, and cast
them far beyond their consciousness,
while coddling the joyless with sorrows
that would spoil true happiness.
Joy will master cruel deception,
reduce to ash the flame
of ruinous self-interest, and sow
the seeds of gladness once again....

Karbala
A ceremony of fearful falcons
Scattered like a school of frightened fish
Their crooked wings scissored the soaring Syrian sun into slivers,
Blissfully beating down the silver streaks that crowned the heads of cherished Bedouin elders
They wept as they carried canopies of remembrance
Every parched pore draped, like languishing lotuses, in anguish
To honor their hallowed hero, Hussein
On the ruinous road to Karbala...

Seeds
The barren feed the barren
and empty hearts alike in manner seek
to satisfy a sadness, stuck deep
within the marrow of the meek.
They blame the cheerful and cast
them far beyond the realm of consciousness,
while targeting the joyful with sorrows
that would spoil true happiness.
Strength will master self-contempt,
reduce to ash the all-consuming flame
of ruinous self-interest and sow
the seeds of gladness once again....

High Finance
Who controls our banking?
Ruinous fees for money lending.
Who questions their investing?
Why so dear for money lending?
Who does profit from accounting?
Our finances they're controlling,
While our economy they're ruining,
They're amassing fortunes pecuniary,
Big business for them, commercially.
Let's questions their accountability
For our faceless Australian economy,
Profits overseas they're sending---
So much for Australian banking!!!!!!...

Catastrophic Man
Sweet them,
To be a catastrophic man
Say it upon day
For it was harmless,
When they began.
Sweet loves,
Or never seeing
A ruinous time
For a tragic being.
Sweet pair,
They walk toward the edges,
Till the Earth tilts its ledges.
When it falls with love,
Pushed with a lonely shove,
Eyes are quiet
Smiles are violent,
An arrow strikes a dove.
But one, dare say
Never two,
And it remains so:
Just a catastrophic man.
For then
He could have never ran....
