Spear Poems

David And Goliath

David was advised by his kin
the sling's the thing
if you want to win
tho' small as he was
without fear
he did let fly
and rocked Goliath's world
right between the eyes
before he had time
to come near
or even throw his spear
alone from afar David did fling
and with a single stone's throw
he let go one shot to the head
and brought the

The Arrow and the Spear

I wander over hills and valleys
looking for a remedy
 the clock is ticking fast 
and I don’t know 
how long this deals will last

You keep going back and forth
and you are still holding the knife
at my throat, I will not surrender
unless I have a good doctor
to cure the disease you left at the altar.

Suspicion is

How did Shakespeare acquire that name,
Many years ago
Were his forbears cowards
And is this why it's so
Shakespeare is not a common name
I don't think so anyway
I am curious from whence it came
I would like to know

Spears are weapons
Seldom used today
In the time of Shakespeare
They were, I'm sad to say
Men had to fight,
Be strong and brave
Kill or

Right Now In Nigeria

Right now in Nigeria
People reject The Rear
Or just say The Rear fear
And warn their Treasured Dear
Never to The Rear near...

No Fine Hats; Plain Head Gear
Instead of Good Gun, Spear
Meeting Familiar Beer,
Where only Paupers cheer…

Right now in Nigeria 
Love begins with A Leer
For Enrichment A Seer…

Right now in Nigeria

And Bandits that

Spear

Waste, splash them,
snatch their lives away.
Let the Abraham's 
or the fly boys loose.

You don't run, you’re in love.  It
keeps you at your mates side,
under fire, 
while he bleeds out.

Back home, don't let them know 
about the blood rage.

They won’t understand
how you had to take everything
from them,
the need to p..s on their God.

Then come home,

Lifted Spear

A man collected a dime
To commit a crime;
The wildest cheer
After lifting his spear;
A decided thrust
On a flesh asking for eleventh-hour trust
But surely heading for the dust
Where iron and steel also rust.

Execution, now enjoying a mime,
On the victim’s nostrils a filmy slime;
Off and on receiving a ghastly tear,
Here and there an agonizing sear.

Murderer keeps looking at

Believed she had nothing to fear
But without his heart
It all fell apart
'til she swung from the chandelier

Cause I Am a Spear Bird

The coming out of the shadows
An embark of the journey
Puts a spin on the entire universe
An anticipation is no longer necessary
As the facts are on the table

Spread, spread your wings
Fly as high as you can, fly above
Reach as much as you can, reach the sky
Conquer as much as you can, conquer that dream
Be thankful as

My Spear

Coming together of things
That were meant to be
It is a miracle
Embrace the surprises
That will leave speechless on the mouth

When a sand meets the water
It is a formation of the sea
Nature at its best
When soil produces trees
It conceives a forest
These are the wonders
A reason behind

Coming of the unknown
That was to be expected
It is a mouthful
Indulge the

Tip of the Spear

An army of lions…
led by a lamb

An army of sheep…
led by a lion

The fangs out in front
first bite is the deepest

A wound more than fatal
—destruction sublime

Premium MemberThe Tip of the Spear

Treacherous, life at the tip of the spear.
       Intrepid soldiers on the battlefield
 exchanging fierce friendly-fire without fear.
 They'd rather sacrifice their lives than yield.
They're willing to use themselves as a shield
  when in harm's way at the very front lines.
    Courageous, no soldier on

Spear and Shield

J-ust let March one come, 
O-pening the warm Wednesday; 
S-un has begun to rise, 
E-rasing the dark and gray.
P-ouring rain and chill have vanished into the blue.
H-aze, mist, and fog are all nowhere in view.

A-llow the beacon to shine, 
N-ight turns into a day; 
G-ray clouds don't gather, 
U-nderneath the skyway.
L-et the spiritual war begin,

Premium MemberTrying To Smear a Poor Defenseless Deer With An Archaic Spear

There once was a ghost who loved the post 
He enjoyed the thrill of the periodicals fill 
Turning each page of the paper 
Geared to those who picked up an honest wage as waiters. 
There were all these incredible tales 
Using sources that were impossible to fail. 
Flipping through the headlines 
He looked for a

Something wicked this way comes
Of course its Willy
Just acting silly
No one needed to twist his thumbs!
