With all those killings?
And wish for potent alliance;
Then be a serf of sham dealings.

A flimflam;
Also sham;
From every exercise he should be excluded.

Windy inside
Worse above

Pretty defaced message
Spray paint tired

Isolated crowd
Echoed shroud

Subjugated love
Tread enraged

Rotting beneath
Porcelain crown...

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.

 but I am poetical,
 as the first is a sham and the latter,

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

"happy hallows eve"...

My back bone
My dignity
My curves
My heart

Reaping my soul like a vulture scavenging

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

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!

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....
