Targeting noses
Some Viruses 

To mount their flags 
Winning wellness 

No cure found coldness 
Corona one more illness

Jesus

Only he has the
                  right targeting
                   in heels and
                   in the zigzags
                  of life, not men.

ASSisted Living

Elder abuse endemic
free to roam the land
Preying on the weakest souls
willing by command

Targeting new victims
infirm and oft alone
Fangs sink deep while senior’s sleep
— tearing flesh from bone

Premium Member Evil and Evil's Mother

Evil is targeting your next victim
Chopping them up into pieces
While they scream for help
Evil’s mother is worse than Evil though
Showing her captives a video
Of how she tortured her last victim
and chopped them up and ate them
She is now laughing at their screams.

Shiloh

Shooting my classmate’s brother
(that war within a war)
I sat next to him at The Point
still targeting him sure
More than blood will flow this day
memory also dies
As honor sells its soul in vain
— each headstone marks the lie

(Maryville Tennessee: March, 1999)

WINTER
                      
                       Winter enters on snowy splendor.
                       In calm and cold frosty wonder.
                       Next name came: Natty Jack frost clown,
                       Targeting temperature down.
                       Elating elegant whiteness.
                       Raunchy in wild bare barrenness.

Premium Member Order of Rights

Where gossip hits a sudden death 
when it enters a wise person's ears
Your words are displeasing to me 
choice has two characters 
one that hates the other's love 
I can taste the bitterness of your soul attacking 
forcing your opinion as having direct value 
over something you know absolutely nothing 
The targeting of the innocent 
is the acts of a bully cornered

Premium Member The Rose Monster

Once there was a monster completely made of roses,
who's venom was a fragrance targeting the noses.

He couldn't be engaged because of his many thorns
and the only thing he had in mind was to cause more deadly harm.

He would attack his enemies when he was in full bloom,
filling up a many decorated tombs.

But how could a rose monster ever could exist?
Can't we just live in harmony, this I do insist!

Happy Days

Making food for your family early in the morning puts
You in a very happy mood and makes you proud
{But only when you don't do it often}having fun playing 
In the sun all day makes you come closer and not 
Stray from the happy days you want to have every day
Like in May with popsicles or inside with targeting 
Missiles, games and social networks make you stray from reality
Crazay, but all that maters is that you have a happy day

Nature's Signature

Peeping from the sky,
Turning their long necks,
Mountains high,
What a world of crime?
Whispering,seeing the men winning sins,
Tears or rivers? flowing between the two river banks,
Taking some secrets to tell in the ears of the sea,
Turned like a hell,the angry sea,
Began to hit the whole body of the shore both ends,
Targeting the men and women,
One after one,non stop,
Longing the strong hands of waves,
Until the end!

Seeds

The barren feed the barren
and empty hearts alike in manner seek 
to satisfy a sadness, stuck deep 
within the marrow of the meek.

They blame the cheerful and cast
them far beyond the realm of consciousness,
while targeting the joyful with sorrows 
that would spoil true happiness.

Strength will master self-contempt,
reduce to ash the all-consuming flame
of ruinous self-interest and sow 
the seeds of gladness once again.

Premium Member WEREWOLF STANCE

Full Moon High
From Human to Beast
Craving can’t hold
Search for flesh
Attacks and Eats
Darkness through the evil eyes
Wolfman calling the shots
Bullets with careful aim
Targeting the heart
Instant death
Don’t be bitten by a Werewolf
One bite, a human will become one
Watch as the Full Moon formulates
Transformation bout
Wolfman strength
Powerful and fierce
Beware and on alert
Somewhere and somehow, the Wolfman lurks

Premium Member Winged Invaders

  Their ghastly buzzing’s in the air
    targeting vegetation everywhere
  They dive-bomb and guillotine
    anything and everything green

  Prodigious throngs of winged invaders
    escaping from the ground
  Moving in dark clouds of death
    engulfing whatever’s around

  They may be harmless for humanity
    but the locusts’ noise drives us to insanity
  Coming this May to my home state ~
    though I’d prefer 17 more years to wait…

Premium Member The Fire Inside

I saw tears in the sky
Before they fell
And made my eyes swell
Then, I wondered why

You would want me 
To feel this way
When reason decays
I just can't see

The anguish like a fire inside
Is not extinguished without
Closure, while ignoring shouts
Hidden places, having to hide

Some things burn forever
Lest mourning tears that freeze
Ruled by the decrees
Targeting connections to sever

African Wild Dogs

African Wild Dogs are listed as, endangered
and they are also known as, the African Painted Dog
They are found in the South, and South East Africa
and they inhabit, forests, grasslands and deserts

Wild Dogs like to gather socially, in packs of around ten individuals
but this doesn’t help, when they catch diseases of distemper and rabies
They are threatened with targeting killing, by those human criminals
and habitat loss of their prey, from expanding human activities

For a Desirable World

An extreme smog descends 
on your eyes. A heavy haze envelops 
the landscape. You watch the 
world crumbling around you.
    The death was very beautiful 
    thing, a moment before dying.

Becoming activist had contributed 
towards the end; like 
targeting yourself to be hanged. 
The particulates pollution of 
    depression had seeped, and 
    Milky Way was asking, are you breathing ?

The fish now swims outside 
the body. Death has many colours to celebrate.
