Waxing red with rage ......

Daughter, sister,
Wife, mother,
Adjectives of kinship
Are worthy of worship

Markers of purity,
Idols of sanctity,
Yet victims of atrocity!
Strange cozenage of sanctity!!...

I cannot in all honesty 
Pretend that all is well 
Or that all will be swell 
That would only be a travesty 
It would be better to gather courage 
And to stand up against this outrage!...

Travesty travels through train
Telling tales to troubled toddlers
Tracking traits to take the tools
Tangled thoughts taken 
The trash too takes the tunnel
Transforming talents to tears...

She steals my boyfriend but she hates to see me
Walk alone in the night 
What the night is doing is a travesty against justice
She wants me to be free
The night has no time for injustice...

A clever horse grazes grass before the dawn phases,
out in the open field, a man gazes,
and amuses as destruction causes.

Due to a river changing courses,
Due to the man's travesty of resources....

His Majesty Is A Travesty

What many have known about his majesty,
Has been determined to be a total travesty;
Blatant big blunder,
With much thunder;
Trump said that his presidency is a dynesty.

Apparently there's a whole controversy
About whether we landed on the moon, mercy me
Whatta hoax that would be
Watched it in '69, gullible me
Would mean millions of people were in on this travesty...

Just short of dirty dingy-stinkin;
Wise old owl ball headed shavin;
Goats and chickens wrestling, misbehavin;

Polar Bear Brigade manned their enormous 747 airplane.
They jumped in their warships and they sailed past Maine.
They were ready to take on congress or the prez or the police.
Their ice floats are melting! This is a travesty to say the least!...

Was by an artist of worldwide renown
Sadly the museum hung it upside down
Forty-seven days nothing seemed amiss
So what would Henri made of this-
Travesty to the great Matisse

An ant motors
Like a wind up
Toy across my
Floor.
I resist my urge
To crush it _ why?

Because being so
Complex a
Creature – such
Wonderful design
Pristine precision
Perfection –
Were I to 
Commit such a 
Travesty – I
Dare say with
Shame – I would cry!...

Now perched on high my eye perceives

Reflected amber rays of light

Crimson orange and golden leaves

That still adorn the trees so bright

Soon their dying a travesty

Heard from a distant Winter's call

So revel in the majesty

And the kaleidoscope of Fall...

Infamy is not dignified. 

Or pleasant. 

As the speculation would pool around me. 

I would find myself degrading. 

And feeling horrified. 

Shaking from the travesty-

The one used to keep me safe. 

Steeping in the empathy-

That they say I’m not capable of....

Her trace of terror remains in every home.
The fear of death lingers wherever she roams.

Although improved and four years removed,
We will always remember her tyrannical rule;

And never forget medics who labored gallantly
To halt the evil beast of death and travesty.

Rally on
All you need
Are
Some
Cheerleaders
Oh
Where's the band
Over there
This background
Noise
Is killing me
It's so 
Bleep bleep loud
In my ear
It's a travesty
Oh
Rally on
Sing your song
It's the melody
Of the agony
I'm in your gravity
Rally On

slippery leaves lie
on the steepness of the yard
haphazardly on the road

autumn spokes in air
the travesty of cancer
shedding of the lovely oaks

A lust redrawn, a passion
under wraps, recasts the theme
and sings a different tune.

A travesty of love most people say,
an instance of familial abuse,
it's not the usual way.

Stigma or no stigma?
they battle with a feeling others cannot share,
they care, just in a different manner....

Looking down at her dead face
I tie the ribbon in a foolish way
The delicious fragility of her china doll complexion
The atmosphere feels so heavy with this travesty
Her loved ones will remember her smile and her laugh
Looking into their tearful eyes
I can see their one wish!...

A survey by “Rolling Stone”
Is so inconceivable... Celine Dion
The world renowned Quebec chanteuse
Was not included on the list
Of 200 of the world's greatest singers
Even Miley Cyrus was ranked above Celine 
Seems like a major “fault pas” to me
In fact, it's downright absurd...
