Lashed together
for a better tomorrow,
ending war of words.

Heralding the new
moon I sacrifice
my becoming age

I will sleep now
on hawthorns in bleeding
flames of forest.

Listen to poem:

Mine's bigger than yours
I shout louder and longer
Jump-in interuptus
deterent be damned
I'm gonna have my say.
Mutual self-destruction
is on the cards.
Attrition balition,
siege swarming,
your flanks are weak.
You're not listening, are you?...

Here goes the success code.
Be fit and never lose your feet
Choose your speech, keep your guard
Do not go on your knees except unto God.
Always give them your fist, 
Else you might just lose your seat.
That is my operation mode!
It is the real success code....

Wrestling with his conscience
Abstaining from verbal exchange
Regretting his words

Offended by obscenities
Forgetting his ticket

What is happening now?
Obnoxious little men
Rallying in no mans land
Dire Consequences
Spasmodic verbal abuse.

Ebony sparks;
Lighted darks;
Hall of rooms;
Impending doom;
War of words;
Never spoken, never heard;
 I am bond by those stranger things;
Bound by the strange of things;
often called upon those things of burdens;
Like mosquitoes with plucked wings;

have you seen the poet?
who wrote like Moses
with thoughts like lightning
who envisioned a better world
but solved pain with pills
waged war with words
describing images that scratched
against the stomach lining
messed with the mind
did this poet find God
in a burning bush?
or did a heroin filled needle
strike on hallowed ground?...

Close the mouth, open the mind
and let the pen draw the line.

Raise the eyes, lower the fist
and let all wars go unmissed.

Winners of foolish battles gain no prize
nor any admiration from the wise.

Let peace reign, let conflicts resolve
the heart shall then grow and evolve.

Close the mouth, open the mind
and let the pen draw the line....

War of words
Power struggles
Between us
Make us drift apart
Make us estranged
What happened?
When did our hostile words 
Turn into silence?
It is so quiet
I can hear a pin drop
I can hear the pounding of my heart
I can feel my aching soul
From being separated from you
Out of touch
With who you are
I want to know you again
I want to be your Mother again
Let me be your Mom...

Thick clouds of unanswered questions 
eclipse the clear light thought to be seen.
Bewildered by election commentary again,
our ears quit as media opine.
Hearers' lack of response yields understanding,
'twas a vacant struggle just to be heard.
Hardened clay won't remold without action.
Such a war of words ends with mere tolerance.

I do not have the answers
you seek...why ask? You know
I don’t.  Besides, my answers
are not for your meek, who grow
but do not grow – reap what little
you sow!~ and already, deep down, 
know.  

Then, why not a firmer
hand? Why not more, a committed
heart?~ thinking...not God nor the
devil would leave one, such as
you, even a non-precious part. 

The Meek Shall, and the meek
shall not…....

After scarring, the big gap
confronts a mascot.
The caster is telling a lie.

Under shock and anger
you start cursing the renegade truth.

Black windows now perceive the light.

Nobody wants to catch the dust now,
falling from the stars.

War of words comes to disarming of
wailing hands.
I reconcile with the setting sun.

Back and forth, back and forth
the unabashed, moves a bridal moon.

While it is true the pen is mightier than the sword,
We must not forget that bad people own pens too.
You may have put away your sword but a war of words 
Is stiill being fought
So sharpen your wit and keep a good supply of pens
For when a counter argument is needed
To prevent just one side of the story being told
Lest some innocents get burned by the clever wording
From the pens of those up to no good....

If you walk straight under the
shadow of moon, to the salt lake
death will blow a long whistle.
Everything was ruined in war of words.

There was no peace in the heart,
even after meditation, the mind
drove for the flesh, caressing neither
blameless womb nor Oedipus.

The dead forefathers goad the hypocrisy
till the blood spurts out from
the black navel of centuries
and the forgiveness stands naked....

Dream shout in lonely places
Sound heard by no man
Asleep they were on hour needed
Mind of men he knew
Louder and louder dream sounded

Open now their eyes were
Helter skelter they ran
War of words confused
Open that i may behold they say
Glory in righteousnes

Contacted they were
Heart of men he knew
Longed to do good,being contaminated
War in the had stop
Connected they became Connected they stay...

If these verses have caused you much pain
Then, I have succeeded
I have won the war with words
And I have made you sweat
If you are crying
Then, I can die happy
Knowing that I have been effective
In your self-pity
If you regret your life and every breath you take
Then, I’ll know that my words held you by the throat
Clutching your neck with loaded metaphors
And if you never move on
Then, I won’t be the only one...

The sound
Comes like a sword
Drawn by the
Coward villains of war 
The bad guys 
And they are trying to kill me
Draw the first blood
The shinning blade
Is pierced into my brain!
Shattering the thoughts I had of her
Something,
May be red in color
May be white 
Flew like 
The fountain that 
They were fighting for
And I wondered my way to 
The place that I shall call home
From now on
What was I doing there?...

Humanity is rushing to self destruction
Unless on its knees begs for pardon
Menaced by volcanoes earthquakes plagues
And the war of words which will turn to action
Now is the time to choose which side
In the camp of the saints or of demons to fight
To love or to hate forever two standards
Yahweh will win, renew the earth and his people will run with health

Insidious, insipid, id-inebriated imbeciles
wage a wanton war of words without wit, wisdom or worldliness.
Regrettable, repugnant reprobates ravage refined realms as
pirouetting pariahic pyres patently a pyrrhic prize.

Ego





Oh man,
one right loud voice taken disrespect,
You have an ego !

Your perception,
of true relationships dwindles,
Look of disdain !

War of words,
for defeating logic of your own blood,
Ludicrous criticism !

Best of times,
that were an honour to your very existence,
All for naught !

Oh man,
headstrong you might ought to behave,
Hatred ripens !
