Texan Targets

Send the kids to school to be shot
Or church to become a sex pot
With COVID-19
Becoming a teen
May be the slimmest chance they've got!  

n.b.   Texans believe life is only sacred
until the breath of life is inhaled
after which everyone is fair game!

Escapee Running Like An Amputee

We heard of the ambush
And we remembered George Bush:
A Radio-Announced Ambush
And we made for some bush,
The man in my front continually push …

One hell of a Lazing Runner
While my heart was Bunsen Burner.
Quick was I to condemn his speed,
Ready to it with fuel feed,
Sure survival was The Rare,
Whenever it became Guerrilla Warfare,
Smart shooters picking off

Traffic Jams Everywhere

Congestions
Occur in the brain
Pressures and tensions
Workloads and targets
Competitions and expectations
Time limits and deadlines
All contribute to 
A serious spiritual traffic jam
With
No by-pass
No overhead bridge
As life is not as simple
As a traffic jam on the road
We have to pay for every bit of prosperity

False Targets

Make it as bad as it really ing was
The Nazi’s most lethal fighter plane
With a  load of guns and bombs
Killing Allied and Soviet forces 
Like they were tin soldiers paper planes

Political Targets

A target set by a politician
may stand for an inflated ambition,
     for when it's not met
     he'll be most upset
for it gives to his foes ammunition.

Mission Accomplished

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
We dance, mutate and celebrate: another perfect host. 
The old make easy prey, we watch them gasp
and slip away.  And our kind are not averse 

to the odd doctor or nurse, regardless of their ages.   
But while the populace weeps and rages,  the death
toll turns, a thousand pages .We catch

Targets

I wasn’t seeing when my eyes were open 

I never understood the song What if God was one of us, I always thought the point was that he was

I observe that I self-monitor by constantly checking my originality

I felt bad and the darkness coming so I went with them 

I observe that Thoughts usually seem

Paper Targets

Paper Targets
You shoot at people as if they were paper targets
Not caring who you kill, maim or injure
Your outrage has been well planned
Not a single bit went wrong
You serviced your guns
Collected hundreds of bullets
Dressed the part in boots, fatigues and body armour
Then made your way down the main street
Calmly walking with guns in hand
Carefully aiming

Targets

a voyage
    of life
    for love
memories 
of bliss

   the particular
time
becomes
       reality
autonomy
    an illusion
of contradictions:
injustice

   hold of us
in
a riddle
  of restless
        measures
sensations

Life Is the Two Targets

life is the two targets;
	side of the palm
	whether white or black; get warm
	for side to stretch; side to relax a target
	conceive concomitant combinations calm
	black target; white target.

	the mind to the side of the sound
	availing the spacial in the profound
	focus and averred
	to all, and for all defend
	it has no meaning; get ready.
