So-Called Aid

Whenever a country in poverty 
but rich in natural resources
is in dire strait 
whatever is done by wealthy countries 
is only for it to take the bait


Jinping Pong

China claims that the Taiwan Strait
Does not divorce it from its mate
But China's been busted
It can not be trusted
Since it reneged on Hong Kong's fate!

Dry your tears, child

If I can watch an ant untroubledly
Bear a load many times his
Weight,
Then, i must learn to endeavor towards
My aim, despite the menace of the
Strait.

~A strait betwixt two,
      denying reality…

Wonder of the modern world
To the nation was unfurled-
Art Deco on a grand scale
Strung across this dangerous strait
The truly inpressive,Golden Gate

Paper

Blank at the start.
Waiting to be filled.
With strait blue lines,
and plain white skin.
Catching my words.
Taking them in its grip.
Showing my words.
Letting them live forever.

Premium Member Burning Old Love Letters

Above all comes sorrow,
burning old love letters
in ashes of time's arrow.
Above all comes sorrow,
how I was strait and narrow
and listened to my elders.
Above all comes sorrow,
burning old love letters.

Soggy

The upright straight road is clear
That may seems strait long road to the blind mind
The soggy soul wants to stay in the cool shadow
To eat and fart! Having pipe dream to win back!
To have a good time, I see I see me.

Premium Member Life On the Twine

Upon this thread we soldier on.
Focused and balanced, or soon to be gone
Lost to the depths, that remain unexplored
To eternal unrest, or heavens reward
So never look down, walk a strait line
For one mistake ends, a life on the twine

Go

Perfect people picture vacations
Vile villans violate people
Stay or turn ? Strait is not what it looked like from behind
Damn Coyote.
The obvious is dull, safe is sorry
Jump Jack !
Maybe tomorrow I can show me that place I always want to be.

The war in Iran:
Does Trump have a plan? Well, no.
Short attention span!

The Strait of Hormuz
is just no place for a cruise.
The POTUS? He'll snooze.

Department of War?
No one seems to know what for.
Really? Please, no more!

Life

Life is a simple math
Matter of simple calculations
Life needs a strait path
With wisdom not speculations
But who is not at least a little bit psychopath?
Even God’s life is not so smooth
That’s why it seems so difficult
So much effort is wasted even by God!

The Road

A long winding road-life,
Harrowing filled with strife,
At times rocky hard to follow,
Other times strait and narrow,
Where will it take us, to what end?
Dont know, cant begin to pretend,
But- while you are by my side,
Roller coaster of life take us for a ride.

Forest of Eyes

Where am I?
‘tween the mountain of loss
and the forest of eyes
upon a bridge I dare not cross

Should I wait?
And be swallowed by Hell
Or should I venture strait
Toward a most foreboding knell

I hope that these dark chimes
May light the path to better times

OBLITERATE

Whenever you want to OBLITERATE 
Count to ten and try to wait
Take a deep breath 
Avoid crystal meth
And soon you can open the Hormuz strait.

Whenever I hear the word obliterate
It makes me feel kind of irate
I picture a man
With little hands
Who speaks like he's in a deranged state.

Religious Persecution

------------

Some people....
Speak in Tongue....
And some speak out
Of the side of their neck'
       ------
Some do it to supplement
Their own sadistic
        Vision's....
     ------
Strait out of the Arm's
      Of Pedition
      ------
But, when it comes' to Sin
Their is no such thing as
     Remission

Real People

I like taking people out of their element,
seeing how they click.
Seeing if they’re that solid gold person,
or a strait up dick.
Although some people seem nice at first,
then they turn into  prick.
I have to get to know the real them,
if I have to I’ll use a trick.
I can only handle real people,
fake people make me sick.

Death of Love

My heart Your heart become one
We go under a tree to block out the sun
The heart beats boom boom 
The love is filling all the room
me and you feel real good 
we cant be in love 
i wish we could
cause four years ago 
i went strait above
yes im from heaven
i died long ago 
but one thing remains here
our love from the soul

Lavish love lives
Obvious joy gives


A gift of heart
Soul mellows strait


Peace of mind lights
What wonder sights


Awe is a gift
That now uplifts


Choice favours poise
In willing voice


Live beyond time
Sense flavours mime


The gift of soul
Makes touch one whole

Bonecrushers

Our neighbourhoods our prisons
Outside fear, death, street barons
Streetwar innocent souls deadens
Guns, daggers, stickers in dozens

Nothing to do but the others hate
In dark corners the weak predate
Beware of tempting bait
You may end up in a strait

Join a wicked gang
Have no feelings no pang
Just follow the yang
Drugs, girls, bang  bang  bang

Premium Member Curse At the Climate

My eyes tear up
As the frigid wind blows
encrusting my cheeks
and my snotcicle nose

Hands in my pockets
Strait legged jaunt
Skin touching pant leg
Is not what I want

Each morning like night time
The sun must be stuck
I curse at the climate 
As I pre start my truck

My neck hairs all dancing
To chattering molars
I understand winter
But this crap is polar

Her Insanity

Her Insanity



Strait jacket with chains in shackles.
Her mind is waked then they drugged her until she hackled.
Emotionally gone she is still standing strong, 
leaning on baby blue walls on suicide watch.   

Her mind had been spinning through wheels. 
The heart has been cremated to dust through her gills. 
No more feelings for her needs. 
All she has is insanity..

It Is Now Autumn

It is Now Autumn

It is now autumn
The leaves are changing slowly
The air is cooling

It is now autumn
Time for life to be calmer
Summer all over

It is now autumn
Time to go to school again
Time to learn in class

It is now autumn
The Northumberland Strait chills
Boats return for winter

It is now autumn
Only islanders live here now
The Island is home

Rain

Piter patter on the roof,
Splashing puddles cuddle together,
Clouds free from their burden,
blessed upon for the receivers.

Tumbling to the ground,
undetermined path for the future.
waiting and falling,
With no strait away,

Like tiny petals drifting down
Water dancing in the air
a ballet of liquids,
Swooping and leaping in the air
when they are done they lay to rest.
