writing on the wall
an excess, caulk imprinting
in spite of the paint

(To the tune of
   --'You're in the army now')

You're in the bathroom stall
The writing on the wall 
   Says she's a witch
   There must be a glitch
~With her, you'd had a ball!...

i put writing on the wall 

to make the world call

make every body see it all

cause im never gonna fall

i may start as a crawl

i may begin real small

but in the end I'ma stand tall...

 Right is right until you're left
a sheet of papers blank until you writer on it
Erase the sheet go to sleep
Allow the writing on the wall

Belshazzar had a feast
before seeing the writing on the wall,
Quickly,falling,from the greatest to the least,
for dead-men,don't walk tall-
When lives are on God's scale
Only the just* ,live to tell the tale.

*justified  This sestet inspired by Daniel 5...

writing on the wall 
written in disappearing ink 
left by the past self 
as a reminder 
to the future self not to 
believe her lies 
the message keeps disappearing before 
the present self has a chance to read it 
so the cycle just keeps on continuing forever...

Just because I remained silent,
trust me it still happened;
Adjust to make it all bearable
robust so emotions are monitored;

Talk is cheap so I just wander away,
chock it up to the writing on the wall;
Knock but I simply won't answer;
Padlock and avoid a dance of protocol....

a scratch
a scar
        an inscription
carvings 
         as memorials
gravestones
and walls
            of a cave:
I was here
            we were here
we lived
we loved
we died
            now,no one
remembers
              our sighs
              our cries
....... our lives...

I can't recall
The writing on the wall
It wasn't me who put it there

Our time went fast
It wasn't meant to last
It disappeared I don't know where

You came to me
Asked me to set you free
Knowing I would because I care

Cut it in half
Love is a photograph
A painful memory to share

Comes the time when freedom expires
The gathering need of a patriotic cabal
One chancing upon such surely inquires
In time meaningful writing on the wall
Utmost secrecy Freedom Pub requires.

Song: The Sound of Silence
Cliché: Writing on the wall
Image: Three

I talk with you, again
on the elevated train.
No more writing on the wall
to ten thousand people, 
maybe more.
Graffiti ignored,
it’s just you and me
side by side
engrossed
in fast finger talk
to someone else
before the train goes down....

Did you see the writing on the wall
Or were you pre-occupied – do you recall
Were you busy in what you did
And other things from you were hid

Were you betrayed by someone you knew
Now that you think it all through
But as the song says it will do
Que Sera Que Sera – will see you through.

There was ominous writing on the wall. 
It appeared to be our last call. 
We nearly came to an abrupt downfall. 
However, new hope came just in time. 
Back up the ladder of life we can climb. 
They called me back to work today.
That was enough good news to make our day.

Writing on the wall.
by Cate Rock

Writing on the wall:

Eyes shut wrists uncut.
Name spelled out up and about.
Dangerously bloody,
Not your friend not your buddy.

Dressed cold.
A love untold.

Messed up mind.
He learns to unwind.

Kisses sweet kisses.

hate? hate...
Rate debate 
do what you need to do
ill stand next to you.

Night has crept up on me once again
I feel alone, but then I look up
I see you there and smile

I know my hopes might be foolish
And when my heart grows heavy I know
The writing on the wall has spoken

I have my own issues to sort out
And my own dreams and fears too
But i'm not going anywhere

I see you there and smile
The writing on the wall has spoken
But i'm not going anywhere...

ONE SMALL STEP

Saw writing on the wall, I swear
There was a warning symbol there
Your trip in space, a bad affair

Short by one extra mile

We’ve come so far from planet Earth
Where of lithium there’s a dearth
Mining is more risk than its worth

Short by one extra mile

Due to land on this unique moon
I guess we did ignore that rune
We ran out of fuel just too soon

Short by one extra mile...

Writ of the wall

It’s not hard— reading writings on wall,
And I too read them well as can all,
And assumed, just like all:
Not for me, not at all;
Right call, right time, and still a miss-call!

You tied the noose that I hang from
I stare at the writing on the wall
I feel like all the words are written wrong
My feet can’t find the stall
I wish my thoughts would just be gone

I am the rope in which they tie
I can’t seem to shape the future of my life
Got me thinking am I the one who’s ready to die
I decided to roll the dice 
Sick of living a lie
Why did I think twice
Now I’m begging for a reason why...
