Shunning Elephantowers

I invite all human kind
to shun Trumpeting Towers

tell
and retell 
ultra-nonviolet me

rabidly stampeding
ballistic elephants

Cuz it's not healthy
nor resiliently wealthy,

SHUNNING

Shun this world, so upside down, that
it views wrongs … as if wrongs right.
Morality’s now immorality

no morality, just hate.
Why many not shocked discovering,
their friend … slept with their mate.

World’s sick disease, is “I” problem,”
I want, I want, I’ll get.
I’m the best, deserve the best,

Your mind and time wasted 
without a second thought

I realize that years have gone by 
And that I hardly even know you
I want you to know that I love you 
But when I look at you I feel sorrow

I am not like

Shunning the Father - Revision

This is the story of a young lady named Lue,
Who didn't exactly, know what to do.
Her father, a scholar, a man of great means,
Had taken over her life, or so it did seem.

A patriarch strong, stalwart and true;
Intense convictions, his world askew.
Ideas anathema to his family's ears;
His children's ideals did he justly fear.

A man is

Shunning Anorexia

You are not a member of our family
Therefore we choose to lock you outside our door
Banishishing you to never
Never again darken our door
Your emaciated hands have lost their strength 
The whispers you shout have fallen on deaf ears

We have always been stonger than you
Within your grip we have discovered our own resilience 
Losing our appetite
