Written by: Epicurus Citium--------------------

The forest ain't the tree and it's fine this way

Humans are dots on a map
For system of geolocation
For the total control
And the calculation

Privacy, freedom is lost
Hacking their grouping dynamo
King Iguana Guantanamo

And satellite does the targeting
For politics geo and marketing 

Analysis of atmosphere
Their the rich and their fear
Migration's migraine of the states
Many on TV debates

Opinions can be disproved
True argument requires the proof
UDHR lost appeal
Such associations aren't real
  
The naivete and naive
Messages they do receive
Evacuate all the rats
The intuition of bats

No solace evolving in space
This isn't the prison 
It's base

For metaphors literate 
Right should they have 
Of no being unit strategic
The individual level is sad
Search for your soul you eejit

Reload

Locked and Loaded,
The pressure exploded,
Unloading my weapon,
Targeting deception,
Hiding within my perception,
Protection from myself,
The elephant in the room,
Your going to feel the boom,
Looming light,
Illuminating right,
The fight exists within me,
I battle it repeatedly,
Rising above the energy,
Everyone else fed to me,
Trying to be one of the crew,
Always being told what to do,
I work my way through anothers view,
While learning what to do,
Too long has it been,
I cant bend no more,
I'm sore to the core,
Exploring better options,
Adopting a new way to think,
Sinking my feet into the ground,
I found another kink in the strain,
The weak link in my chain,
Remaining calm and steady,
Getting more ammo ready.


Premium Member WEREWOLF STANCE

Full Moon High
From Human to Beast
Craving can’t hold
Search for flesh
Attacks and Eats
Darkness through the evil eyes
Wolfman calling the shots
Bullets with careful aim
Targeting the heart
Instant death
Don’t be bitten by a Werewolf
One bite, a human will become one
Watch as the Full Moon formulates
Transformation bout
Wolfman strength
Powerful and fierce
Beware and on alert
Somewhere and somehow, the Wolfman lurks

ASSisted Living

Elder abuse endemic
free to roam the land
Preying on the weakest souls
willing by command

Targeting new victims
infirm and oft alone
Fangs sink deep while senior’s sleep
— tearing flesh from bone

PUTRID

Written By:  D. Collins 12/9/25


The world has become inedible meat.
So, fowl even vultures refuse to eat.
Resevoirs of toxic streams and lakes.
Filled not by rain but words of hate.


With air that is full of unsavory scents.
Targeting those who possess melanin.
It's a putrid world in which we now live.
Lacking of love from any perspective.


The entire globe has turned rancid.
Dipped into a barrel of sulfuric acid.
We can't digest what's being served.
Or a painful death is what we deserve.


The Focal Point

No longer Bible does appear 
The guarantee of truth
In court 

No longer the presumption works
As guilty they're fact

No longer Jury can decide

I am off the Law Enforcement 
For the Computation 
Of the Military Pact

The Hitler broke the Diplomatic the Convention

Your tactical is tact
Your focal point 

Do concentrate
You must be targeting your fire 
Horizons your event 
What's your intention's the desire? 

You might be doing firearms for sport
But not for the collection of your arsenal
Civilian Defense?

Why selling rifles the assault 
So freely as they are specific instruments of mine 

There is military,  there is civil sports

There are the rules of safety handling arms and fire 

Control your own arms today
As war of Law now works with neuroscience 

Cartoons for kids today exist for business so they would be buying

When the Poem Became Tears

When the poem became tears 
As the ink drips, 
I have become an emotional basket case.
My keyboard squeals, as the businessman's anxiety climbs
At the sound of the opening bells,

Tariff wars targeting the poor, 
 Evil Eyes merges with the Texas Tycoons
What is the poor trader's offense?
Going once, going twice, 
To be poor is to be honest, 
How can honesty be the best policy
Knowingly, a poor man can never win a war with a rich man
Going once, going twice no deal
Tariff wars targeting the poor: 
“They fought with them, we feel the pain
Forget the old saying, you scratch my back
I scratch yours, what are the poor man's justifications
Tighten your podiums, ring your bells
And remember the words,
“They charge us, we charge them,
Why is the world upset?
Aggression, depression, and the will to survive

Inferior and permanent: listen to
 Bob Marley's “War song we will always be in war”

Freedom speaks

Things are so quiet
Letters don’t soar
No one talks at all
They try but they fail
Inaudible words excel
Forever i think that words don’t have sound
Only emotions can turn the world around 
That's what we were taught
We were taught that we shall be silenced
That words won’t break us free
That we should take actions 
We were taught to throw the first punch
Instead of using our words, we used anger
To satisfy our vengeance hunger
We weren't taught good actions from bad
We were praised for having violence 
And bad emotions targeting people
We were taught that words were flagrant and should be banned
We silenced the only people who took a good stand
We were too scared so we didn’t talk
So whenever someone used words
We were desperately shocked
Even though some who visited never knew that we could understand 
Or hear the words they used 
Words do hurt I may say
But i’d rather hear those distressing words meant to hurt
Than be silenced and have no stand
So that day I got up too
I used my words
Those thoughts I kept in for so long
I Spoke my mind forever as time will go on

Sounds of Spring

Adipose-dereived stemcells
to aid in weight loss.

They foogle to help
to make better the person
who's health is compromised
by the misery of undesired weight
targeting fat loss
which is to influence
weight loss.

Oh the health of these people
that they wish and need and
desire to be healther
the wisest of those
too learn
and make better there craft
might a world
find the secret to
a healthier life

Curves And Crevices

Written By:  D. Collins 12/25/24


 There's nothing like the curves and crevices of all women.
That distinct little thing that does something to men.
They get all pumped up, and don't know how to act.
Plotting in their mind just how to get at that.


Focused like a laser with a night vision beam.
Targeting in on what should resolve everything.
Some beautiful curves with spankable cushion.
Will get what she deserves for us to go all in.


Although written Christmas day this is not for the meek.
A brother like me needs a real Christmas freak.
All I want from Santa is to handle my wish.
Put in front of me someone Phat, Lucious, and Thick.

Sleeping Giant

1/26/24


Y'all woke up a sleeping giant
Y'all interrupted my peace and quiet

Ya'll don't know how to be silent
Y'all still remain mean and violent

Most of y'all fake
Just like these tyrants
Y'all think you're so great
Let the world know, there's nothing you can keep private

Many of y'all already three striked it
Most of y'all switch sides like tide shifts
As quick as a flick of the light switch

Y'all act all high and mighty, yet are far from righteous
Y'all still are being biased

Y'all don't listen even when one is teaching the science
It's always three sided

Skies darkened or brightened
Senses heightened
Don't be frightened
Just be yourself not anything that's unlike it

She just wants diamonds and private islands
He wants money to buy it

Most of these sheep blinded
To the truth by staying weak minded

The sound of police sirens
Amid street riots
Meanwhile all across the seas pirates
Targeting elite clients

As the steam rises
Are we to blame for causing extreme climates
Another new disease or virus
Leading right into a deep crisis

Robert Sherriff- Trump or Harris

Robert Sherriff- Nobody’s Home - poet – author - singer-actor – model - American Historian.

Trump or Harris

From a young age, Trump has exhibited the characteristics of a privileged child, using his family’s wealth to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War. 

In stark contrast, I deeply respect Kamala Harris as Vice President.
Trump’s policies, such as the controversial wall targeting immigrants, give him a unique, albeit divisive, edge. Conversely, I hope to see Harris ascend to the presidency of the United States one day.

For those who have read my poem, “12th of January 2025,” you know it foretells a grim prophecy in which Trump meets a tragic end. Historically, America has shown a pattern of eliminating its significant figures in 1865, 1881, 1901, 1963, and, potentially, 2025.

On the 12th of January 2025, Trump will face assassination—a fate that aligns with America’s troubling history of silencing impactful individuals.

Premium Member Nobody

I am Nobody:
no name on my grave
in the Veterans’ Cemetery -- 

not even certain if all parts
match – those bombs really
had no personal objective when 
targeting and dispatched – 

Their bull’s eyes~ all Enemy.

I am Nobody; don’t earn
a lot, after your release from
the hospital, once healed,
you never met the EMT
who feverishly pumped life 
into your failing lungs, during your 
rushed, siren screaming journey
through unyielding traffic -- 

probably never thanked the nurse
in the ER,  with a name-tag,
often gone unread – Oh, you met
the doctor, who earns all the big
bread – He has a noble title – he
has lauded fame – unlike Nobodies
more or less, diminutive
the same – just Nobody -- 

the Nobodies who build the bridges

repair the roads
pickup the garbage

often given little more mention
than prince-less pond toads – 

when I croak, Just a slimy
soak – in society, most Nobodies
die broke – soggy, irrelevant 
pond splashes – 

Only rich when considering love...
