People are obedient to the power they serve
the source of all conflict and war works for the devil
No one in governmental positions ever calls for peace
they put sanctions on nations to fill their own ill bred pockets
we all can see clearly that greed plays its hand through bloodshed
Those old men sacrificing the young to do their dirty work
cowardly office boys sitting on their laurels hiding behind a desk
the mask has slipped revealing back stabbers
hiding behind a smoke screen the true origin sits
Pay the piper to play a different tune one with hope for the future
this destructive path the world is on is driven by fear
believing in something without evidence to back it up as existing
Slowly many will awaken to find it all is to late
when a majority can no longer be achieved without conflict
sad state of affairs as many have avoided learning
from the past mistakes tyrants and dictators work against God
Small minds,smaller yet, their dreams.
Achiever attackers, back stabbers.
Sheep that follow, media lies they swallow.
A strong leader, they daily seek.
To destroy, oh lost, obnoxious freaks.
Give them a mask and some fire?
They burn wonderful cities to their hearts' desire.
The innocent lie dead at their hands.
So proud of killing, they~on this sad, American day.

Gone are those days
Gone are those days of joy
They've now been replaced by pain
Gone are those days of laughter
They've now been replaced by tears
Gone are those days of happiness
They've now been replaced by sadness
Gone are those days of true friends
They've now been replaced by betrayers
and back stabbers
Gone are those days
when love was pure
now it's so sore
because some fall in love for fun
after getting what they want they run
leaving you to pick up the pieces
of your broken heart
not knowing even where to start
We now live in a different world
because good days are gone
and bad days are born
Gone are those days.

*The back stabbers*
They act different but they are all the same,
They paint you black to the world but their own life is a shame,
They create the problems and stand aside to put on you the blame,
They follow the trend thinking that's the real game,
Your life is a secret so they wonder how you made your fame.
A Collaboration with Marti Sutherland
Circling the table before they feast, black ravens crow
bright beady eyes darting to and fro, away they go
landing on a wounded body that has not yet died
circling the skies before they feast, dark ravens cried
On their bellies through titanic grass, slimy snakes slither
forked tongues searching for innocent prey, coming hither
Reptiles crawling from under rocks, cold-blooded and chilled
their fangs leaving lethal bites, and another victim is killed
skulking in shifting shadows, deceitful humans lie in wait
Bearing no name, no face; beware of the wicked who hate
Brutal bashers who take what they want at the cost of life
Back stabbers living in a harsh world where hypocrisy is rife
Ravens, snakes and evil humans sit on thrones of deceit
Like black widows they feast on their mates when they cheat
They spin their lies so easily, like the sticky web of a spider
Beware you are not caught when their mouths open wider
BACK STABBERS
How can we say we are loving our lives?
When we’ve got to hide from friends who carry knives
These aren’t the weapons they use to hack
But the ones they like to dig right into our back
You’ve got to be careful who you put trust in
You never know when it’s you they will be discussing
They will drag anyone down making their name dirt
They will lie and deceive with the bull that they spurt
You shouldn’t care for the things that they say
Karma will visit them and will make them pay
The people they spurt to will know their words aren’t true
It doesn’t make them as bad, if they come running to you.
He had a human body,
but had a heart out of the ordinary.
He Loved everyone he met;
tax collectors, gentiles, Romans,
Caiaphas, lepers, Judas....irrespective
of who they were or what agenda
they held against Him.
He forgave the ones who plotted
for His arrest,
and those who nailed Him on the cross.
He still forgives us today,
for the follies we commit everyday.
If we are able to embrace His compassion,
we can forgive our haters, back stabbers,
con men, robbers.....and even our own
families and friends.
Israel will be at peace with Palestine;
racism will cease to exist;
nuclear warheads will be destroyed;
modern slavery will cease;
Syrians will return to their homes....
If we follow the steps of Jesus,
Heaven will come down on Earth!
They're talking again about gossips, compromisers and back stabbers,
Every month or so something's said about them
Do we not know by now what a bad personality is?
Back stabbers! Yeah i said it
Those i considered friends,
Talk behind your back, laugh at
you, not with you.
Those hypocrites ! Ouch
Believe me it hurts me more.
Masses of hysteria when they
mock you.
Don't care how you feel
Worse comes in when they
pretend to be your pal, at a
wedding, not funerals.
How foolish they are !
Make fun of anything about
you.
Long last you feel defeated . . .
But its just the beginning
And you want to quit already,
Let go of everything
Give up. . .
No think twice, thrice, whatever
You persevere, In the end
You show them
Whose the Alpha.

N ever believes people can be back stabbers
A ppeals for honesty where none exists
I nvites in without a background check
V ulnerable when being openhearted
E xpects people to reciprocate in kind
That’s who I am…..

There are people who make up misguiding lies,
use words to hurt, wound and paralyze,
they put up'walls or mountains to the skies,
of unscalable heights and unmeasurable size.
They set us adrift on a windless wave,
to spew out their hate on an innocent's grave,
they slaver and foam like the depraved,
to fill us with doubt and corrupt the brave.
Their thoughts slither like a snake,
coiling around tightly at every slip we make,
their smiles deceive, their platitudes rake,
their contempt disguised with every heart they break.
They judge and convict with mirthless pride,
and condemn us, while acting our guide,
their two-faced grin, takes our own side,
while watching as into quicksand we smoothly slide.
Their pat on the back, their convincing hug,
leaves a slime trail, they're loathsome slugs,
their poisonous tongues, a mind blowing drug,
which alters reality, beware these back-biting dogs.
Back-stabbers, revel in such cruel intent,
puss breaking forth, from the infected utterance they vent,
troubled and weak, our self-esteem is rent,
when leached with glee, from the bearer sent!

THINK OF OFFICE CULTURES
LIKE THE ACTIVITIES OF VULTURES
HERE COLOURED BLACK STABBERS
ARE RISING UP LADDERS
WHERE WE FIND RUMOURS AND HUMOURS
SAME AS NEIGHBOURS OF FLAVOURS
HERE RUMOURS OF UNSENSORES LOVE
AND HUMOURS TO HUMILIATION
ARE CORE AREAS OF JOB DEFINITION
OUR NEIGHBOURS ARE THERE
THEIR ABILITIES TO ASSIMILATE
INFORMATION ARE GREATER THAN
ANY SCIENTISTS' INVENTION
OUR LIFE IS FULL OF MAGIC
SOMETIMES WHICH LEADS TO
ACUTE TRAGIC
Search your soul
Eyes as black as coal
Search your heart
For thieves in the night will take you apart
Back stabbers, rats and demons
Someone’s always waiting to watch someone fall
Have a thrill, rotten will
Depression confusion take a pill
Self absorbed selfish behavior
Kiss your way to the fruits of labor
Make Gods of money
Isn’t funny
When you should find a higher power
By the hour
Lack of expressions ,wrong directions
for your children as you are a poor reflection
It’s all around the rattling sound
Sloping economy research astronomy
Starving nations ,bad reputations
Man at war
The Unpredictable chore
Addiction, affliction, the destruction of the temple
Loss of principle loss of example
Man is trampled
