"You may now not serve this country Though you may be fit and kind I tell you this quite bluntly I will suppress your kind Petitions and the public Shall never hassle my laws; Amist a starving republic They believe me When I tell them you are the flaws For I've convince them all the bathrooms Are threatening where you lurk I've convinced them all your...

No more divide and conquer
ideal of opulence in the flesh called human harboring a false sense of control and power listening to voices you claim as your own cynical laughter with mouths that spew arrogance no regards for the blood shed to advance hierarchies tyrannical systems smitten to hinder harm control disparaging games with malice of life's spectrum keeping most in a survivor unconsciousness barrier resources disguise...

Suppression
Were suppressed The kids are depressed The scary tango till death We scream till were out of breath It’s dangerous We dance beneath the stars While covered in scars We march to the dead beat Till the death tastes sweet ...

Premium Member The Cries of Suppression
The cries of suppression will never cease, a selective crowd of bitterness. The suffering voices each day increase. The cries of suppression will never cease. Seeking justice from the claws of the beast. Claiming their freedom from the wilderness. The cries of suppression will never...

Tiny heart, world inside Waiting for a hand to guide I'm a seed, life's whisper Promise of a thousand branches Canopy reaching for the sky ROOTS!

Suppression
Suppression .. cracking open the flesh. Never suppress the Feeling of the soul This inner oppression Is not just foam It is a fine thread You need a needle To sow close packets of regrets And mistakes you have buttoned up Looking through what You had to do. Those hole's .. Have control over you. Suppression Stabs and tears you.. Gash you on the inside.. The hole's suppressed Stitch and heal them Ditch...

Supremacy
“their freedom of width, yet not of height Descends, through the transpiring fright Which enraptured them, in a cage of night , never once, I would abide Preachings on the repugnant walls That seems to repulse the oppugnant scales That never pleased the reluctant deals Our seats of blank, yet never brown Generalize the...

…Fidgeting fingers Sliding into crevices Redefining new dimensions As Suspense drifts into evidence Ye season is upon us Uncover what’s been absent Lacking substance Corroded with trauma of past tense Acknowledge the struggle Or succumb to a future tragic Laughing I’m an abundance My thunder Lives through my laugh My cries are what makes me humble I may stumble along my...

Premium Member In Suppression of Treason What Motive Or Reason
Irony, often, enacts comically fatal roles, Brings dignitaries down from their highest pedestal poles; Sometimes, in a symbolically pragmatic costume, Of the protagonist, destruction its role does assume; Julia Gillard, Australian feminist Prime Minister, Kitten heels! Fell over public! Earned laughter sinister! Unprejudiced slip! Humiliated tentatively! Escorts and envoys, though, waited on her attentively! Her fall followed her fiery address on...

Premium Member In Suppression of Treason What Motive Or Reason
A prime minister of Land Down Under - from her role she had been put asunder. I've been reading of texts and jokes made of her sex, but about her I still have to wonder . . . I surmise mostly Aussies would know more exactly why she was let go, I sure wish I knew that at "Beyond Blue" she was doing kids...

Self Supression
Self-suppression Of feasting and drinking beyond the road. Conflicts and dissonance over the load Trembling in the face of the tide, of youth age Thoughts altogether are the sign of the rage Prisoner of desire in a locked cage. What if one claims to be a sage? Fails among the average, but blurry beige It's the act of dedicating oneself to a...

Never Again
Pulled together by a magnetic avoidance of loneliness, fueled by an insatiable ardor to evade a shortage of love. Mutually splintered souls searching for a place to embed and implement a façade which conceals mutilated minds. Spurious attempts to disarm the timebomb which is his mouth. Futile efforts to escape a mental cage inflicting frightening fingerprints on a shatter-able soul. Cautionary writings on the walls of his guise, demanding subservient...
