Rumour

An email just received is a sham,
stating swine flu comes from tins of ham,
but don’t get a fright,
for this is not right,
when the email claims ham, well it’s spam.

About Trump Refuted

About Trump Refuted

What about Trump  had been badly refuted,
We would discover and knew he is deluded;
A flimflam;
Also sham;
From every exercise he should be excluded.

Dismal Future

I know a woman in Birmingham Her marriage is a pitiful sham, She plays around She tries new ground, And gives it up, not giving a damn.

Sham Pillows

Wear the mask
Graffiti tunnel
Windy inside
Worse above

Pretty defaced message
Spray paint tired

Isolated crowd
Echoed shroud

Subjugated love
Tread enraged

Rotting beneath
Porcelain crown

Heavenly Sham

With every religion…
to share in the blame

Masking out God,
in costumes of shame

Seeking to own
what they can’t understand

A covetous folly
—a heavenly sham

Very , very , very Crap
Exhaustively So

Good Luck, Sam

GOOD LUCK, SAM

Shamrocks with green eggs and ham.
Resistance from Sam I Am.
If you offer him gold,
he won’t see the mold.
Leprechauns roar at the sham.

No Leaf

as he walk down the street
everyone looks 
if it was any other night
he would be arrested
a witch walks up to him
"do you have no sham"
with a smile he 
holds up an apple 
"have you seen eve"

"happy hallows eve"

Identity

My back bone
My dignity
My curves
My heart
My,My,My

I'm claiming back whats mine
Yes, its mine
Man have you no sham
Reaping my soul like a vulture scavenging

My happiness
My freedom
I am who i am 
I'm A.S.I.P.H.E and i am life

Love Without Hope

Love without hope, as when smitten by a whore,
Adrift in a wild sea, away from the shore,
Trapped in a web of sham by an enchantress…
A vixen, a vamp, a wench, a seductress!

overkill on blogs not ten a day

when off my meds i lose my way ~ i never use them it’s all hearsay 

here’s a placebo script for sham poets ~ typed AI doc straight away 

oh there is one niggling side effect ~ it attacks good blogs everyday

Beauty

The old saying 
couldn’t be right.

Not in her case.

Her beauty was 
more than skin deep.

Had to be.

Then I got to know her—
exterior was a sham.

All within left no doubt.

The old saying
got it right.

Beauty is out of sight.

Lamb


Look at that lovely lamb,
     Leaping through the mountains,
          Let loose like a spring skein,
Little aware that its 
     Life will end in a sham,
          Led to bloody fountains,
Like the Lamb of God slain.

Happiness Is a Sham

Happiness is fake

It's an illusion made by...

Those who see the world


Those who see the world...

See the mistakes made by God

Those who see the world...


See our own darkness

See the darkness in us all...

See, our own mistakes...
