Premium Member One Bloody Bastard
Watching episodes of The Tudors, I 
cringe at examples of King Henry’s
pride and ruthlessness, casting off
wives and devotees with ease.. . . 
As he gads about with 
a new flame, an axe
falls again and
again on
Cromwell’s
neck....

Premium Member Abortion As a Choice
Bearing seed in a world with half embrace proves quite difficult
happiness gives way for ruthlessness in a risky summersault
seen to the womb as dirt
with danger is this flirt
the helpless victim has no say or choice in such an assault....

Premium Member A Struggle For Survival
In an existential struggle for survival
         Ruthlessness rears its ugly head
      As lions ultimately devour the lambs
              To rule a savage kingdom

Power-Crazed
the ink sealed a people's fate,

   their land is doomed, it's too late,

      for the power-crazed minds decree:

         hail, land of the brave, home of the free;



boardrooms shake with banter,

   with insolent, venomous laughter,

      distilling all ruthlessness and rage,

         all the curses, blasphemies of this age!...

Live, Laugh, Love
Little babies are born
Into a world that has a
Vicious, 'Dog eat dog!'
Environment.

Long days pass
Amid the chaos of war.
Ugly scars mar beauty, while
Gaiety is almost non-existent.
How can life be so cruel?

Listen to the call for peace, to
Overcome ruthlessness.
Visualize a better life, where
Everyone lives, laughs, and loves.

Love and Baggage
You had me blown out, baggage and baffled
Our love was on the ropes
Blockages of darkness crawling, festering

To trust in you as much
As a clown painted black
A dirge without delivery

In shame and ruthlessness
I determined to press nerves
Or venture without substance

But when the storm and wreckage passed
I still hear your voice crystallized
The shining gem of your impetuousness

Slowly you pull me back
And offer your greatest hope
As excitement turns the page...
