Piercing Words
Words are thrown like a game of
Arrows.
Presumptions, Razor-sharp slandering
And hurtful to one's core.
Oneself believed words eventhough
When one's actions proved wrong;
Shooting from ambush at the blameless.
Piercing Words are quaint, and how
Words can enter one's thoughts and
Never leave.
Laying snares secretly, thinking
"Who can see us?" We're smoother
than Butter.
Piercing Words are spears and arrows, their tongues are sharper than daggers.
‘Great Wonder to watch Winter's shiny show of snowy charm strictly speaking , a splendid
splendour,
Since born, staying only in summer zone,
no idea of natural beauty in snow.
So far tasted only ice cream cone.
About snow fantasy how could I know?
Debut of snow flakes in chilled attitude :
on my first meet with serene snow scenario
in a tourist spot on high altitude.
Me slandering up, clouds floating below.
Hanged icicle stalactites with pointed tips
from roof of our hotel ! A great wonder
We two to enjoy honeymoon trip !
Snowy charm whelmed me ! Sheen splendid splendour !
Shiny snow elating whiteness over slant path-
Skating on silvery slippery snow downhill
Fun in throwing snowball and jogging in mirth
We ventured sliding on sledge on amorous thrill.
I can reminisce fantastic snow fantasy :
Metaphoric mirage drifting on dazzling ice !
Enchantment of glossy massy snow turned classy.!
Danced delight : Divine numinous noble nice.
Wandering cloud, turn back to your return voyage, a safe trip home
Send these to my reverie soul, one of a nomadic troubadour, vagabond
When down pouring rain moisten the topsoil of thy land
They do shed tears, heartache, with a lonely "room", happening in unknown
the heartache in leaving would play along the flute beside even the river Jordan.
The heartbreak of a rainy day charmed when a night lightening " O my own!"
A heartbeat sank there in painstaking pensive in Eden Garden
When flowers blossom, a moon arises
the night takes a stay for a streak of moonlit whim, wishful in flight, to soar high and keen!
None is slandering the shy gaze and the household subtle maze, to the ever sustaining one!

Does my PTSD gets in the way of my character by
Unknown and recognized faces in any situations to
neutralize my energy? Because of someone 's else
Pre judgments, forced opinions, making false
deliberate spoken assumptions with slandering, personal
attacts. My character Assassinations
My feelings seems If I'm trapped in someone's else box
of how I should verbalize or how one portray me as one
see fits. My Character Assassinations
If the tables were reversed how would the assassinators
feel? My Character Assassinations
I watched as the lights flashed and golems of flame entered this serene green temple heave our hands closed our eyes we began to vomit flies we comported hand got onto the backs of horses for we were birthed with unseen forces. One man killed for his slandering saw the headlights of the first one eyes of light blinking and bantering off we fly from our metropolis on Saturn ring the crown of our cosmic king the devouring blissful fiend.
BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW:
In this world of adversaries,
Where sons of women wallows.
Is full of bitter enemies,
Classified as "bitter pill to swallow".
They parade to dig out peace,
By slandering with greed...
So I'm stuck to vigilance,
To withstand any bad instance,
That comes to crumble my hope,
And also to weaken my soul.
It's all just for this one reason,
That my mind keeps to beam.
And nothing can stop me,
From staying strong and free.
I wish not to hurt anyone,
And I want us to live unitedly as one,
For our lives to be full of fun,
Both in the rain and in the sun.
That's my inherent nature,
Of which I'm wielding forever.
Preferably, today will be a day of the reassess.
We, as a whole, work to clear the street of progress.
To protect our quiet from disdain and slandering,
The ailment appears as a refusal to swing.
I'm trusting that there would be a propensity.
However long we stick to the appropriate strategy.
It is the thrill of faith and the feeling of adhering
Family is something that makes one's heart sing.
May today be loaded up with a lot of approval.
Sharing of realities and insight will be feasible.
We are delighted with the spawn of our avidity.
Seeing family stashes joy and warmth internally.
I pray that God bestows you peace today.
And not let our spurious deeds lead us astray
May we, as a civilization, be blessed beings.
Run and start soaring as if on Eagle's wings.

She went from hating me
to up for dating me
I led her on most gratefully
and left her there to wait for me
but I did not return
for she's not my concern
so she went back to slandering
as I laughed at the burn
Amidst the assertive shrill noise
Of debate, slandering and fight
caregivers held nerve and poise
call of duty was their only sight.
Putting their own very lives at stake
Angels in white went about it in grace
nursing those affected in outbreak
Fine recovery, their efforts showcase.
They bore the brunt of anger of few
whose dear ones succumbed to chill
hiding angst, kept up a smiling hue
with fortitude and professional skill.
These angels are the saviours prime
we cannot repay for service yeomen
doing best, they have been sublime
In solitude, we pray for them, amen!
She wouldn’t stop slandering me the nasty little cow
Told girls I’ll use them then never be about
Just a single lad out for fun, a nasty little cow
She was single and uninteresting like a drought
Her love life was empty
Wasn’t even tempting
Slandered me plenty
and it started preventing
so I made out I fancied her
Did make much difference at first
But after awhile she started to purr
and eventually a kiss did occur
And what do you know she was right
I walked off and didn’t give a s****
You ever had bosses out to sack you
tactic of slandering used to attack you
tell mates bent facts made to think that’s true
until your work and personal life collapse through
They think it their duty to bring you to justice
and it a good act as they always know best
protecting others from your ways unnoticed
I use girls was what my boss confessed
She had authority outside of work
out in a club with a girl she lurked
she told that girl I was a jerk
told that girl I’d leave her hurt
No man in her life
no friends either
authority to strike
all beneath her
that means all alive
as she knows better
She was sacked when she got caught
they hid this fact to protect her
give her power she’ll abuse assault
nasty little Sarah
We treat Facebook like a shrink
but it's nothing but a cheap tabloid rag
truth be damned, we vomit out anything
our dirty laundry for all the world to see...
cyber cowards can't talk it out face to face
slandering loved ones-pandering to strangers
gathering a wolf pack-attacking relentlessly
until there's no more blood to drink
from the tattered family tree.

Bubble Gum
Leave that 25 cent
cheap bubble gum in the
toy candy machine
I had to pass you the bubblicious
and juicy fruit because
by the end of the day you will need a wrigley's
spearmint for that bad breath
I had to put that under control
here is some freedent gum also
to put that dragon breath in captivity
no sense of you sentence
innocent people deaf
That is some foul mess
Your breath smell so bad
I thought I heard my own shadow
slandering my name behind my back
put that halitosis under control
mouth wash
drinking water
soda
juice
will not mass that odor away
keep that bad breath away that some stinky stinky mess
here is some advice
make a dentist appointment
Good Intention.
A life of good intention,
is often hard to reach.
With gossip,hatred and slandering,
who are the ones to teach.
We trust in friends around us,
who always are in reach,
but we never forget our fallen ones,
whom we say a prayer for each.
The VP Debate
By Franklin Price
10/5/2016
The VP elects were on TV
As a debate it wasn't right
Was a farcical imitation
Might as well have been a fight
Could have been a boxing match
With refereeing quite a botch
Many low blows being thrown
Not to the head but to the crotch
So busy with the slandering
Never heard just where they stood
The only thing I say of note
“ did neither party any good”
Must admit we channel changed
And did not watch it all
We only watched a round or two
Then we made the only call
The worst of all the bad debates
Wasn't hard to say a draw
This entire race for president
Is the worst I ever saw
My English use is questionable
Might say it's even bad
But not as bad as this debate
Now that's off my chest; I'm glad
