Short Strike Back Poems

A bevy of censures,
to hit and strike back

Each written reprisal
to ward off attack

A mother-son warning,
once truant come true

Her words now my weapons
—to kill and renew

(Beaupre: February, 2021)...

So its crazy
My mind is lazy
The view is hazy
In the real world
Lifes in a whirl
Ties unfurl
Uncoil your curl
In the real world
Defence is attack
You want to strike back
But courage you lack
In the real world
So acceptance is real
The emotions you feel
The stress that you deal
In the real world
learn to let go
just live it slow
maybe say no
in the real world...

An empty chair in a 
muffled day, starts
a self-import and
falters on steps.

You need the fear, to
strike back, when the
tracer distribution
returns with a ghost.

The discount will substract 
from the truth. I will
find the zero at the
end of lies.

Will I concede to the
barter ? Let me first taste
the bitterness of victory,
become drunk on your hate.

Friday the thirteenth, so the superstitious say,
Is a day for caution, as the worst could happen
Karma is likely to strike back in shades of gray
Friday the thirteenth, so the superstitious say,
Misfortune is likely to happen to you today
It is a splendid idea to carry a good luck token,
Friday the thirteenth, so the superstitious say
Is a day for caution, as the worst could happen.

Hurtful things you say,
Tear me apart in every way
Think before you speak to me,
Because I will not let it be
I treat you nice, and show some slack,
But there are times I will strike back
Even though you are my relative,
If you want love, be sure to give
For I am sensitive just like you,
I have feelings and can hurt too!


Written after my mom said something really mean to me about my Granddaughter 
Genevieve on Easter Sunday....

i never thought this day would come
many were there, but now only some
once a friend of many
but this day took plenty
what went through his head this day?
leaving these young children to decay
depriving these kids of a future promised
candle light vigils for all who are missed
this school will never forget this day
it will always be remembered this day
the day the boy made the decision to attack
but no one was able to strike back...

          Sharp feelings hurt like a tack.
          So blunt, you may want to strike back.

          Take a deep breath, and say a soft prayer.
          To blatant anger and ego, never to surrender.

          Love your neighbor and practice humility.
          God heals all, and provides a sea of tranquility.

And it goes on 
Mass murdering of the innocent
Gentrification of the minorities
And it goes on
Life is not a perfect story,
Happy endings are quite scarce 
The elders worry about the youth 
The youth is left to fend for themselves 
And it goes on 
Racial slurs directed toward the indifferent 
Rebellious souls attempt to strike back
The barriers remain between common people 
Always together, but forever separated 
And it goes on.........

Hickory dickory dock
Tha clock struck four
And up from tha bed, feet touch tha floor
Hickory dickory dock 
 

Hickory dickory dock
Tha clock struck ten
I've been at work four hours til then
Hickory dickory dock

Hickory dickory dock
Tha clock strikes nine
And as sleep claims me, I hit tha bed on time
Hickory dickory dock

Hickory dickory dock
tha clock strikes one
I strike back a bit too hard, and so it's done
Hickory dickory dock...

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,”

	will justice be served by this ancient truth?

Eyes can't be restored, nor teeth grow to chew
 
	by just doing back what's done unto you.

Inaction may shock your foe's warring heart;

	deflate his command the less you take part.

Perhaps walk away, do not fuel the fight

	let villain's defeat claim his sleepless night.
 
Let justice be dealt by his Karma's fate;

	be free from the task to strike back with hate....

What about the mountains
what about the streams
how about them oceans
we ought keep em clean

what about our forests
what about our seas
we think were all there is now
and we're the BIG DISEASE

what about Mother Nature
do you think that she is pleased
she's gonna tell Father Time
He'll bring us to our knees

we're pushing their limits
we better get things right
Cuz when you mess with Mother Nature
She'll strike back with all her might
