for reclaiming a man from vice.

We need much virtues
But we have less,
We need no vices
But we have much,
The dilemma is
But a poisonous tease....

I'm yours, flesh and bone
I surrender all to you
My walls dismantled 
My untold secrets laid bare
All my virtues and vices

Always be calm during external fears growing, haunting inside. 
Just keep living. Miracles nourish oppression. Pain quietly runs.
Survive the underestimated vices with x-rays you zenith!...

Man who is removed from wickedness 
leads a renewed and upright life. 
He stays away from vices 
and life's evil pleasures. 
He does not allow 
others to drive 
him to do 
sinful 
acts....

We all want to live a descent life
Wealth is a necessary evil
Wealth has got company
Vices follow the trail...and savage qualities
Humanity takes the regressive way

On the train, heads down
     On the street, heads down
In the store, heads down
     At the gym, heads down
Mobile devices
     The new human vices
Not newly arisen
     But now an E PRISON...

Every human being a is bill board
On each on the roadside of life
Devils advertise vices attractively
Angels teach virtues with humility
Skeptics deny everything outright
God records responses quietly...

So in speaking
With you I’ve found
That you’re so blessed
Blessed with a good
Family and some friends
You make good money
And got no vices
And I can’t help thinking
How your life 
Is utterly
Boring...

A
Bird
Cartwheeling
Diligently,
Ever
Frightfully 
Gaining
Height
In
Jumbled 
Knightly 
Loops,
Moaning
Never
Once,
Perhaps 
Queenly 
Reigned
Sky
Took
Unnecessary 
Vices
Wherever 
Xiang
Yankee
Zaps.

I hate vices;
Temptations, 
Lies,
Hatred,
And Darkness.
But now these are my vices;
I succumb to the Temptations.
I eat and throw up Lies.
I am fueled by these Hatred.
I am now one with the Darkness inside.
Does that mean I hate myself?...

In the arena of vices the man of virtue fell

an intrepid gladiator with God's sword in hand

ready to die was he for all of evil to expel

gallantly fought till evilness had left the land!

Creature claw marks crisscrossing,
Reminders on your skin
A post-it timeline 
Of fear and then
You climb the grapevine
To your vices, apprehend
It all entices again
This prophecy,
Of the knife and me, 
Feels like it's gonna be
As pure as milk and honey...

Vices guide in the pursuance of placement - 
We want to need.
Aligned behind no sense of rhyme or reason; 
False purpose leads.
Spending loaned moments on dire explanations - 
Charge it to the dream.
Remember that day your spirit was broken?
Together we go....

Dying
It was alive for so long
Dwindling in the sunlight
Closed off from civilization
Only to free itself
From kings and vices
I dreaded the day
That your petals would fall
Gracing the ground
Ever so sweetly
The water gone
The earth dry
Your soul crumbled...

If advce is adding voices
Dont  add any of your neglected  vices
Vices grip you tight
Throw away the pain but leave yê 
Incapacitorated corporeal punichment your only
Chastisement
To lies concogted In Cauldrin mind
Your poisoned pen
Playing the eteral game in time...

The notorious gang
Clearly stated in the news
Is now declared Saint

And a pretty slut
Infamous to everyone
Is now called Mary

This political thug
Who attacked lives' belongings
Is now made the judge

In a time like this
Where vices are made virtues 
What's that all about...

Don't pity me in the mingle
of a sunshine smeared midnight
where my green-eyed egos 
debate the potency 
of my virtues and vices.

In the contrasting hue 
between mute, fuzzy familars 
and sharp, fural forboding

my sanity is safe
from assuming unnatural extremes....

can't stop till I read
every single one of them
why -in-the-world- not?

good, bad, in-between
virtues, vices, and feelings
it all takes me back

youthful nostalgia
library psychiatry
free book catharsis

my inner-school-self
needs literary healing
ongoing escape...

Trice

I spell you once
I spell you twice
My soul you've gotten
Spell me trice

Ahead of me
you'll always be
forever
watching over me

I say times once
I say times twice
All my vices
You've gotten trice

Ahead of me 
you'll always be
forever
watching over me...

Fashioned in enameled vacancy,
the gentry’s veil was pierced

Exposed unclean, all vices seen,
through fury sharp and fierce

The folly of their blasphemy,
whose cover all but blown

With blood to flow from ramparts high
—once driven from the throne

(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)...

JACK THE RIP-OFF

cold homicides
from clean quills
vices of knives
sharp sharks
stalk down
Piranha’s
with platitudes
of 
predictability
but in your brain
red is the pain
without gain
expressing
reality
in waves
no need to
explain
