Willing to fight,
With tooth and claw,
Splendid beast.
Glories his, today!
Tooth and claw,
Trophies he covets,
Glory won, the beast!...

Hostage to fortune,
prisoner of time

Trophies a burden,
 polished and shined

Greed but a jailer,
freedom denied

Hope in confinement
—wishing a crime

He would criticize and discriminated;
A nifty nerd,
And absurd;
To Self awards and trophies dedicated.

Oh love! you are winner 
                                 And no one else
                                But you are winner
                                  In all your trophies the pain is winner...

Some don’t notice that I’m truly fruity
They’ll often add salt, like that’s their duty
Juicy and ripe to my core
Sweeter than you might ask for
I’m sure to win trophies with my beauty

Worth
is a universal currency
one earns by talent and hard work
it pays in achievements and respect
the more one gets those trophies,
the more one stands out from the crowd
to the point
where they become an eternal star...

Mistakes are trophies
acting like hapless failures
when they're treasures

Flaws are enticing,
everything real gets damaged
not struggling with age

Pain is beautiful
if tears become diamonds
instead of weapons

Lets burn all differences,
Lets stand by their sides,
Lets let them make our nation pride,
Lets let them climb the Himalayan heights,
Lets let them make glory runs ,
Lets let them bring trophies or cups,
Lets accept it that they are equal to us....

Banks,
Financial assassins
Firing bullets 
Of insolvency
At targets
Without cover
Raping with foreclosure
Killing with repossession
Preying and hunting
All trophies out of season
Poaching their eternity
From the bounty of hell

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2013)...

At home, his room was full of pantyhose -
he'd strangled scores of homeless girls and kept
the nylon trophies, each a memory
(reminding him of how they'd begged and wept).
He planned the brunette's murder as she slept...

There once were siamese-like twins
Who didn't share organs or limbs.
An ego was shared
Thoughts moving through air
Between sisters Donna and Kim.

With an ego bigger than most
The twins did nothing but boast
of trophies and wins
And spectacular whims.
The sisters were known coast-to-coast....

So many trophies she had!
       "Wow, I want them all!"
       Oh my, she was bad..
       Poetry to her, became no more 
       than a bowling alley.
       Where she could score more
       trophies than her friend, Sally.
       All that mattered to her, 
       was to maintain a higher tally!

hail!
he, who sail’d
thro’ those long nights
in the hobs of
niger’s hidden chambers 
amongst those weird shades
of the niger;
hail!
he, who came in
with those trophies
from the living-dead
those trophies
of my ancestors
the ancestors of my red earth
the red earth of my forest
the forest of my drum
the drum of my clan
the clan of my birth –
hail!
to the eyes of the forest...

Some see sand, others see castles.
Some see babies, others see miracles.
Some see candles, others see wishes.
Some see trophies, others see decisions.
Some see labor, others see mission.
Some see money, others see blessing.
Some see strangers, others see friends.
Some see beginnings, others see ends.
Some see below, others see above.
Some see you, but I see love....

He like tall and dark
Long-legged women

With well groomed hair 
And they never go swimming

Soft perfumes that cost a
Penny

They watch their diets 
But they’re not too skinny

Not just trophies on his arm
They’re smart and lovely and
Full of charm

He’s the winner
If winning is real

Because all of his women 
Fit the bill
And he’s one happy
Camper

La-da-da
La-da-da...
