in love's battlefield

          of the same woman

Who adores an ancient lore chore
And loves to see gore and wage war
Yet sore pouring pain?
This stems from an old brain
A story of man’s evil core

War Against Corruption

I write sedoka
mixed with alliteration
wonder when I would wage war
to tackle this team
For freedom free,fair and firm
before big boys bid for berth.

Sinner

A sinner aye i am
I drink i dine make merry eat swine
But you are off an higher order than i
In his name thou makest plunder
You dine with the rich and take from the pouper
Wage war, kill, slaughter

War

War is a thing that I hate most
But there are some people who boast
And make war inevitable
And peace on earth is not their goal:
They wage war because they are selfish -
Blood seems to be their favorite dish!

Premium Member Westward Wanderlust

Westward wanderlust,
Wagon waltzes with Winter wine,
White watercolor walleye, windy-wallop.

Wading where wafers wage war,
Where warmth wanes without warning.
Wary whispers; weather will weather, whatnot.

Suits You

This

Alien extension
Acquired tragically

Is rejected unconsciously
As minute defences
Wage war mercilessly

Vulnerable as combat rages
Transformed while I'm dead
Reborn with us United
Are you my friend?

Lie

A land of beauty, of darkness,
a place of destruction,
a journey of regret.

The liberties of Liberia
can enslave a man
can wage war on a man.

The lie in Liberia
can seduce a man
can define, even produce a man.

Liberty from the lie in Liberia!

Premium Member Firebreak

I never needed you to save me,
 ‘Defy’ is what I was built on; 
Personify fierce and courage 
goodbye to every line drawn;

Shake up the entire foundation
take what you work hard for;   
Rattlesnake venom on my lips, 
firebreak I’m ready to wage war.

Words

words
fall from my lips
words
set sail like ships
words
that make peace
words
that wage war

my words
cannot compare to yours
my words
simply echo yours

your words
are like chicken soup for my soul
your words
come in and nourish leaving me whole

Black and White

Black and white flames-- each thrust adds to the blaze-- My hands roar through the scorch like winds of rage-- The keys wage war on the stage while my heart pounds to the pulse of the notes on the page-- I'm lost, in rush, in lust, of this burnt love-- March 7, 2016 ~Photo #1

War Of Whims And Caprices

Those who wage war
In search for peace
Are the leaders
They are not
In the battlefield
Warriors are pawns
For lunatic king
To gain power
And accessibility
Those who has more
Ammunition has
A chance to win
The leader who wage
War actually don't want peace
Instead, to them are just
Whims and caprices
Fence ego and lavish pride.

Not On Guard For Thee

God never asked me
to stand on guard for thee.
And neither should my country
to fight for their decree.

With none of us as equal
as all our countries thought.
And those who would wage war
when others went and fought.

Our parliament of parties,
where little sharing's done.
A requiem for a true Canadian,
were all our parties one.

War Is On 3

they always cry about the war this
or that maybe true this time
the war they have been foreseeing all this
time the predicted the biggest 
cruellest one
the end
rays pierced my eyes through the hole
rain not lessening their poise
should buy a curtain
the green with the 
roses red
with the next wage war is on
i am back to disturbed
sleep dinosaurs 
wailing

Premium Member Weapons of Wonder

If humans must wage war,
let it be upon our own evils.
Let there be genocide on
violence and divisiveness,
malice and indifference,
prejudice and inequity,
foolishness and falsehoods.

If humans must make weapons,
let us weaponize goodness,
arm ourselves with love,
beat peace into plowshares,
and (nearly) kill with kindness.
Such are the wonder weapons
we humans of the world want.

Premium Member A Ying-Yang From Pyongyang

The leader of this country is a ying-yang. He rules from the city of Pyongyang. After sixty years of uneventful peace, this xenophobic jerk wants it to cease. He is willing to wage war with the south. Some unintelligible words come from his mouth. He is too young to know what the first war was like. His countrymen should tell him to take a hike.

Afghanistan

I feel like Afghanistan
All the friends who helped me through my depression 
Have left
I want to leave this body I call home
Rather than wage war with my demons 
Strong and mighty
Smiling is equivalent to holding a plane at Kabul. 
I fly for a minute 
And drop back down into the abyss
Depression you restrict me like the Afghan woman now. 
But I will learn to love my body
And I will find my home some day

A Circle of Gifts

rondelet

Please, take my gift
for giving harvests joy in me;
please, take my gift.
Men wage war, wandering adrift;
such folly I am fain to flee.
A smile is what I need from thee
please, take my gift.

I’ll take your gift
if it accords some peace to thee
I’ll take your  gift.
Your sunshine grants my soul a lift
and gives you pleasure too, I see.
With "Thank You ~ You’re Welcome” from me,
I'll relay your gift.

Cold As Ice And Still


                   If humans are granted passage to wage war at will

               the deepest shade of gray will be the darkest color of red

                     flowing beneath pallid corpses cold as ice and still




                                    --To all peace loving spirits--

My Name Is Corona March 2020

my name is corona my soldiers number in the trillions
i will wage war on you and your numbers are mere millions
my name is corona and i am coming to a town near you
when i am done all the world will be blue
you will ignore my threat and that is a mistake
when its over you will know regret and many lives will i take
if you would stay home with nothing to do 
i would lose this war with you
but ignore me and i will have my way with you

Premium Member The Route

Right now I’ve still got all this fight in me,
even as I wage war with bulletproof;
I’m ready sucker punch for the knockout;
Enemies try but just fall short daily,
hardwired sarcasm explodes with a poof;
This was never an exhibition bout.
What lies deep within will not diminish,
I wish this inner conflict would ease ooph!
I’d gladly laugh and let go of this shout,
but I can’t seem to cross the line finish
                     the route.

Wreck of Ship-Africa

WRECK OF SHIP-AFRICA

Where is the sentiment of those who fought?
When their blood is shed and their story taught
Are we forgetting or we never knew.

Are we going to watch this sheep wreck
O! I cry for the captains are lepers and dread
We need another Christ to save us from ourselves

Life is at stake not for a good and reasoned course
Selfishness and brutality, innocent and the guilty suffers
The strong wage war against the weak without remorse.

Tree With Snake Eye's

I'm walking through the desert 
i come upon a dead tree with 
snake eye's and the soul of a 
dead man . he said to me  "run
to where the sun does not rise
and wage war with the dead .
bring your family and friends
into this war , for they are the
weapons of the gods" then the
sands of the desert  blew and
i was standing under the moon
and the tree was gone and my 
eye's turned to dust and life tasted 
of blue mixed with the taste of death

The War Within

I’ll turn you inside out and upside down
Twist your insides around and around
I whisper quietly with shouts and screams
Always nestled down deep invading your dreams
I play many games, hide and seek, truth or dare
But be on your guard as I never play fair 
I’m a secret assassin ready to kill your good vibe 
I will torture your thoughts, cause problems with your tribe
I wage war on you daily invading from inside
But no one can see this battle you hide
