GOD AND MAN
Tonight, when the sun retires And you're left alone with thought I want you to ponder Why does God, who made man in His image Choose to remain a shadow While man The one He crowned with glory, Decides who eats, who drinks, who dies? Sometimes I wonder Is God afraid of what He made? Has man found a way To hold Him hostage with his...

TRIADE 1 Old Young Man

Like the strokes of an artist’s brush Painting a self-portrait of my life The colors are people, events, and experiences Each stroke flows into the next creating the picture A step back is needed at times To observe the full scope of life To include the essence of my being Expressing all aspects as one Without the help of the master creator I cannot...

Premium Member Mannequin Man
The fear I feel is real The pain I have to hide Frozen in a silent scream All motion is denied A suit to cloak my cuts This sacrificial goat A belt across my back A tie around my throat Behind this pane of glass No one can see me cry Each day drones on and on While the crowd passes by So come a...

Premium Member A Man, Most Newtonic
Here's to the fellow we hold dear, his blood, it was said, teutonic. He holed up in County Lincolnshire to escape the plague (bubonic). 'Twas there an apple fell on his head and gave him a wonderful notion. Before he even went to bed, he wrote down the laws of motion....

Premium Member Death Row Man
As morose as it may sound I know I’m really just another Death row man. No, I’m not locked away For a crime I have done. I’m free, But that doesn’t mean I’m still not on that row. And that also doesn’t mean There isn’t some crime I could have done That would have me lock away and unfree. I’m sure there are stacks of...

The white man's culture
A threat of superiority Leads to inferiority Of a heart consumed By a venomous poison Of hate lead by jealousy A darkness claim their soul Convinced that an enemy Was those loved by the sun With skin oh so golden Threatened by a culture To which they steal like vultures Begging to be chosen Colonising a moment Belonging to those with a darker skin colour All...

Premium Member Teeny Weeny - Bawdy
There lives a gentleman from Luff Who walks everywhere in the buff His weeny is teeny He calls it his winky A stump that can't fill a cream puff. Ladies would be left in despair But he didn't really care He got what he wanted Frustrated, they taunted And decided give him a scare. They tied him to an 'lectric chair Placed electrodes on you know...

Cheese Man
The Cheese Man can’t tell you ate his brother. So relax. He will be here soon. He is real. A big block of cheese. Turns down the heat. He is careful. Not to turn to fondue. The cheese block is a blob, I have a cheesy, melting feeling. We are here in this room. We pretend...

Perhaps, I wish not to be so important? -- to go unbeknownst...by both God and the devil – to fall between the cracks, of their seemingly endless, bitter war: Of The Glorious Garden, and~ The Dastard Fall -- (One created me, without my consultation...the other, manipulates me, for his own evil usurpation...
