The top came rough
Grab the bull by
Its horns; take down....

A match head
Of fentynol
Could take down
A moose
So leave it alone
And smoke some weed
And get loose...

clear blue day
lone moose watches
wolves shadow




*moose and wolves are common in Canada.
Wolves will hunt in packs and can take down a full grown moose....

Take is a most versatile word
Take back
Take down
Take out
None of these meanings absurd
Take away
Take off
Take over too
I would like to be this versatile, wouldn’t you?...

The tiniest microbes do the greatest harm
    some with spindly legs
      some with toothpick arms

  They fell powerlifting champions
    take down mighty oaks

   Fools dismiss 'germs' as a hoax
     Wise men aware they might croak...

Take down the photos
of rivers run dry
Throw out the offerings
to the gods of luck and time
Claw for the right words
Spit them out on the pavement
Carve this life into a home
Know you'll never want for comfort
Know you'll always be alone...

They call it war
Others say it is much more
People risking thier lives
Too protect thier husbands or wives
They took down two of ours
So we take down all of their buildings and cars
Its a war that will never end
So more and more troops we send...

As he once again broke through
his selfmade illusions
He noticed that the feeling
of both love and sorrow remained

so he closed his eyes 
and acknowledged his defeat
before the battle even begun
He just couldn't take down his opponent,
even if it didn't exist...

Sherlock Holmes was seen at the local bar
Spying while drinking and smoking cigars
Ready to break his crime case
And take down the shady place
While Watson safely waited in the car

"When"


“When”
 
When we dream
 And when we love 
Is there anything
 Above
 When we begin
 In our dreams
 In our past
 We can try and make this last
 Change is one way of bravery
 But
 Deep inside theirs a child
 Still afraid
 Learning to crawl
 Take down the walls 
Be proud....

i keep my hopes and dreams

inside a paper sack

i pull them out when i feel the need

the ones that are stale i put them back

those i take down to the shore

and toss them in the sea

the fresh ones like i said i keep

and take them home with me

to pull out when i feel the need...

We, the human race
have been breeding, with to much pace
as our planet, is in such a disgrace
and now we have, real mud on our face

We think, that we can eat money
but we destroy, the bees that make honey
and take down forests, that make life sunny
for the greed of money, sending all life down the dunny...

Scorched by the enemies
I want to take down,
Quicker than the eye,
Rather than being pushed around,
Seeing is believing
Turning my life around,
It has been rough, but more achieving,
Seeing the greatest end of the road,
Not too farther to go,
On the way down I will get defeated,
Until it's my turn,
I will win my freedom!...

Last days at the playground
Kiddies squealing with delight
Before the rangers take down swings
And cover the merry-go-round
With waterproof canvassing.
Tots return to their playrooms at home
And dream of Santa Claus's bounty
Which will come, but seems forever--
Seemed forever when I was a kid.

Most people in this
Day and time, live there
Lives believing in lies
They know better but
That’s what they choose to believe
In order to take down one person
They’re risk destroying hundreds
Not thinking that they’ll soon
Be hurt in the process because
Believe it or not
You can’t take down GOD!
Nor interrupt his plans

don't thumb to page twenty six; 
the book is broken. 
profiteering is proving to be 
more useful than 
words softly spoken. 
  
wave ya hands 'round 
and take down the banners 
that hung since 
we heard the new sound. 
they ain't allowed 
no more. 
  
shoes crafted 
from pure pleather. 
updated ethics 
and a concern 
for the weather....

why ride a wave?
I'd rather let it ride me
to make me brave
so I can ride eternity
      why take shelter from the rain?
      I'd rather it drench me in hope
      it might sound insane
      but it will teach me to cope
in a flood I refuse to drown
I let it wash through my soul
making me too strong to take down
it's the storms that make me whole...

Jack the cat is ready to kill for his king. 
He has his mesh on with his green 
Eyes looking mean. 

He is hanging back with claws of steel. 
He can take down three armor men 
In on seconds appeal. 

Jack just hangs around the castle.
Waiting on a another intrusion hassle.

So Jack the Cat will never let someone 
Enter his home with out death to Pay....

I wish I had nothing to lose
I wish I could fly
I wish I could leave
I wish I could die
and take down with me
the story of my life
to be buried in a in a place
no one could ever possibly find.

And i don't a knight 
to rescue me
I'm good alone
just like it is
I just like to vent
what tries to kill
my desire to love
my desire to live.

It is June 7th. 
I am not willing to let Christmas go,
Because it did not happen this last year.
Not like it was supposed to.
Not like it always does.
A lingering family death changed everything.
Do you suppose we can take down the tree?
My husband dares to ask.
I give him a look
Of which I am not familiar.
He knows not to ask again,
for I am not ready yet…....

Cope with me then copy me
shifting as if no rules
exist and we're all fools
or is it a peculiar plan
to ask lies to be told
then suddenly and out of this word
take down the shameful mask
give me salvation
and give me your truth
never mind my temptation
just make me the ruse
flawed behaviors and forced tools
to make us all the same
then we'll be cool

The Coyle’s curtains are closed,
Coal mines no longer employ,
Might as well destroy,
A once thriving steel town,
The record books should take down,
The history which lies on these streets,
Within these buildings,
Formed by immigrants,
From bare hands and backbones,
Drowned in crime now,
Writhing beneath the poverty line,
Turning to a ghost town,
Charleroi will be no more....

*Happy Flag Day


Today is Flag Day with protestors here
I will not take down my Flag or cower in fear
I will not apologize for being white
Or an American Patriot, with my flag in sight
I will not kneel to you, or submit
No matter the threats in your violent fit
I will not apologize for something "I" didn't do
But, I will stand for my country, unlike you

there is a tree in the forest
targeted by lightning in a storm
ten times more likely to get hit
than any other tree

because lightning has a “type”
like men have a “type”
she goes after an oak
six times more often than any other tree

no one knows why
because they have forgotten that lightning is a woman
who wants to destroy the sturdy and the strong
she wants to take down a man...
