they sacrificed their needs.
And soon they only lived for wants
that soon became their needs.

The brave and the free,
Lain to rest for liberty.
Honor forgotten.
Souls sacrificed, protecting.
Sovereignty wrought with valor.

Your family life
Will have to be sacrificed,
For the greater good.
Your kids will be fine.
Your kids do not need morals.
They need more money!

Slaughtered Innocents

slaughtered innocents
lambs on an evil altar
sacrificed to hate
carnage outrages the gods
spilt blood spells out remember

The Cost of Love

A broken heart
A torn spirit
Shredded
Sacrificed
At the pedestal of love
Is the cost of saying
Those words - i love you

Deep Down Inside

Deep down inside,
I've sacrificed and
I've tried.

Deep down inside,
tears of anguish
I have cried.

Deep down inside
my soul it
has died.

Deep down inside.

The Pain of Growth

In growing, there is something to celebrate, and something to morn. Like loving a rose and catching the thorn, and the chrysalis sacrificed to the butterfly born!

Stalemate

This universe is a chequered board
Where facts are sacrificed as pawns
To defend ideas antediluvian.

Our horizon is constantly receding
Knowledge and ignorance clash
Ending in a stalemate.

sacrificed to war

Sacrifice

I lay my chaos at your feet,
stand naked at your altar
& offer you the knife
Better to be sacrificed 
than rise & turn away
I died the day you knelt before me
& lived again as you spoke my name.

Trees

They help produce the air we breathe
Rustle their leaves soothingly on a windy day
Early birds sing from their branches
Each one is a home for many living creatures
Some are sacrificed to build ours

Sacrifice

I brought me to find You
But after coming I knew 
You're unseen almighty

I heard message of sacrificing 
It’s my ego-impious being
But I sacrificed animal pretty!

Cloning Tomorrow

Mankind
was never meant
to survive the future
Technology
 a trap
their greed as bait
Generations
sacrificed
in self destruction
On altars
of indenture
— their natures gone

(Calvary Cemetery: May, 2024)

honour and revere you

across the world
united in your mourning
you sacrificed so much
our heart goes out to you ~

Sanity

I sacrificed my sanity
it took a road trip on its own
packing light, taking flight
with all its baggage stowed
gone for just a little while
taking the do's and don'ts
figured it out, now its back
my sanity has come home

Beware the Ides of March

The virtues, sacrificed
  By muscling vices,
Lay dying 
Across the dusty crusts of Earth.

The sky, once admirably azure, 
Now bleeds dark streams of gray 
Above the sight of flying vultures
Flapping, circling in wait.

All I Can Think

All I can think 
All I can do, 
It all comes done to nothing
You are the one
The sun for me
The air for me to breathe
The care I need
The water I take
The love that I beg
The life I’ve sacrificed 
It all comes to you.

I am your eraser 

Cos I sacrificed my life 

To clean up your mistakes

I give my time to heal your wounds 

I spend my days to give you a better time 

So don't be selfish my friend 

Be royal to nature............

JESUS

Profoundly gentle, yet so brave
Today You sacrificed Your life to save
Our sins forever covered by your blood
Eternity’s doors opened—so much Love 
I honour You with all that I am
All Glory to You – my Saviour
Amen

Pummy the pumpkin refused to be sliced

Resisted against being sacrificed 

For modern Pagan delight

Did not fancy the limelight

Turned the knife against trivial zeitgeist
