The chalice you drink from
is leaden with spite 
and the poison is eating you up 

Step down from your throne
where you languish alone
and sup from a healthier cup...

She does not dare step down from her chair
She does not dare to take such a chance, a beautiful victim of circumstance
She dreams the day she has the chance to take a stance
Rise up and dance...

Took Away Crown Trump Wore

Trump was President while wearing crown;
Not only that he was an incredible clown
Hard to reach;
Should impeach;
From precipice wish he would step down.

If wisdom now comes
out of the mouths of the young
It follows they must
Retrogress in a future
Step down to a lower rung

Donald Trump really needs to concede
A new president is what we all need
He's stubborn as a mule
But can't win, voters rule
Step down sir, our Country needs to succeed

A leader is to lead
To acquire the aim
To reach the destination
Where, when and how
This is not the only problem he faces
But men's expectations and supports 
And the majority votes 
There won't be a total compromise
To lead or to step down 
Is the only last judgement
Ever seen in history...

 Take them up a bit
Step down and disconnect yet
Well oriented

Follow the rhythm
Fall into run, then schism
Palladium's glow

Hang on, two flights left
Three ahead then go right
Welcome home, goodnight

All this time, and the elevator still remains 'Out of Order.'...

Walk of the ages step by step down pavement and dirt bare feet and linen, bark with the weight on shoulders king of king of all fiery eyes that knows thy enemy that laughs at the face of danger at first and last glance the prey that don't stand a chance of survival as he suffocates the opposition one by one...

Violence  in the streets 
Mankind seeks democracy 
Cyberspace is KING! 

Mubarak refused
To step down as President,
Uprise, Heaven Sent.....

The future is clear,  
Blood will spill and Armies fall, 
Cyberspace rules all ...

As Plan B unfolds,
The Whole World Is Watching You
Go Forth, See this through......

Do you write too early or too late?
It's hard to say at this late date.

Especially when specifics are the only rule,
Writing like this makes me the tool.

I wrote it early and then,
Edited the text...who knows when.

Now I'm in the quibble,
Two more lines to scribble.

Only four words now,
I've done it...somehow!

not going to fly 
not having it 
not backing off
if this goes a stray 
will not take it 
will not step down 
will not give up 
will fight for territory
this is last straw 
this is straw that broke 
this camels back 
this turf 
this territory 
is already inhabited 
not going to leave ever
nothing can push out 
existing inhabitants...

Step down from your 
ego. The brain dead has- 
left a lesson.

Left a lesson, the brain dead. 
Will you measure the 
EF before the cardiac arrest ?

Sexing an issue 
of dented verbs, why 
do you need a defence ?

The numbers are climbing. 
You have entered- 
a high risk zone,

of killing yourself.
Give me a ghost writer, I 
need an art, not a duplicate.

Before i scream out loud 
Before i bounce off the walls 
Before i step down from standing tall
Before i crawl down to my knees

Show yourself to me 
Show yourself for what you are
Show yourself in the bright light
Show us what its all about

Bring me back to your soul
Bring me back to the world i once loved
Bring me peace inside that hides
Show us love for the ones that have died ....

 Draft beer,

chess boards,

and Kerouac cool.

Cerebral grafitti and
a Robot-in-Drag juke box
bubbling out fifty years of good jazz.

A virtuoso burger flipper
destroying the laws of physics,
making gravity play the fool.

On the restroom walls,
the surfaces held
musings of poets

and philosophers…

overwritten since, 
by lesser bards

and now
closed.

Soon to be
apartments....

At Georgia's Laugh Inn
there's no liquor,
no credit cards,
just cash.
There aint no
whiskey between
ol' bar stools
ragged beards
and confederate caps. 
At Georgia's you can gamble,
there's poker, cards 
and dice. 
The airs a sea of smoky Marbolo
The perfumes sea salt with bud light. 
At Georgia's you can step down,
to the coast of the old south.
Get a laugh in at her Laugh Inn,
before wandering 
someplace else....

~ So -so   The Clown~
(Triel)


So-so   the clown
He couldn't just step down
He laughed, sang songs which sounded all wrong
Then, oh no! his pants did fall, suspenders not strong.

Pants went down
Folks just laughed, some did frown
So-so   the clown ran, slid on his skate,
folks amazed when So-so  flew and fell on his plate.

Inside, the battle wages.
One step down,
I drown myself in the frowns
of a thought. Night sucks at my fear.

The rhyme of the fading moon
intends to fix me up.
I refuse to smell the breath
of the catch.

I bloom on the pain,
sweetened kill of the day. An empty jump
in void of a portrait;
shaking wall.

Watercolors were ruined
by smudging the reasons.
Clutching the bones of winds, falling
from the sky.

At one point I believed in forever;
I believed in infinity and time; 
Now I say please join me;
To a deathly line; 
The line I walk upon is thin; 
A line made for balance;
But I’m going to say goodbye to the win;
I’ll step down;
I’ll walk right in;
I will cast a ghostly shadow;
For at one point I learned the truth;
And that is there is not only a forever;
There is a place that is and always has been; 
A place called the never;

Zen is without 
                    symbolism 
                                        and egotism.
Not all haiku is Zen
                    but all Zen is haiku. 
                                        Zen is less awareness; 
without filter
                    or screen; 
                                        live in the present moment; 
quiescent in
                    the calm 
                                        of contentment....

Will you see what I want you to see?
Maybe you won't play my little game
Some will find this doesn't make much sense
Still if the hidden diamond is found
There will be a message you can see
Step down once each line below to read

New form
To find underlying line
Read first word first line
Second word second line
Third word third line
Forth word forth line
Fifth word fifth line
Sixth word sixth line

All lines are nine sylables including stepping line....

Waking up from heaven
Has to be about the hardest thing 
I’ve ever done
And opening my eyes
To reality
Is no fun
I dream of loving you
Of wanting you
And being with you for all time
Of knowing you
Of feeling you
And never letting go til the end of time 
But when I come back
From the firmament in the sky
And I step down to the ground
I see life for what it is
It’s counted by the seconds
By the minutes
By the hours
It’s gone
Because time is temporary...

Selfish , fake down right hellish at heart . Yet thinks of themselves as good . bitter , leaves pain in their quake . Need a reality check you got an ugly heart , but think Ya fly with nothing to boost about step down off yo high horse for a second . Accomplishments not worth the print there wrote on you still busted in reality . Check yo self before you step up , reveal yo true colors which are fake . These are signs of a fake person with bent perception of reality ....

L~etting out a gasp, the young man stared at the pretty face.
O~pening the curtains, he noticed a 
V~eil covering the beautiful 
E~ndearing visage of a young 
L~ady who sat upon purple velvet cushions.
I~side  was the decor of the patterned interior of
N~eedlework with gold and purple threads.
E~nsuring that the horses were well fastened, the footman
S~lid some cushioned steps before the carriage doors;
S~o that this adorable lady may step down. How gorgeous she looked!...
