Premium Member Thanks But No Thanks
Bartholomew Barton; his friends called him Barty Eighteen years old but no birthday party Slumped in the mud, a gunshot to the shoulder But unlike his comrades at least he’d get older Tyrannical forces sought world domination And Barty had marched with his mates for his nation They gave him some medals for some of his actions They don’t stop him...

Winter Be Gone
The green buds burst forth on the stem Open gently breathe, as life returns again Pressing forth, drinking the new days light The sun returns from its winter flight The leaves open and spread their charms As a lover opens wide her arms Taking the inquisitive honey bee To pollinate and set fruit on the tree. To watch it blossom, bloom and grow Give...

Mama's Restuarant
Mama opens to doors to her restuarant where the people dine on romance. Leave food sitting on their plates, forgotten about while they dance. Leftovers get thrown away, 'cause Mama don't like beggars. She chases the homeless every day, be they drunks or unfortunate fellas. Then she dusts her hands as she waddles inside, trying to avoid contamination. Pours the cat a saucer of milk and...

Does Anyone Think About God
Does Anyone Think About God? Does anyone think about their heavenly father? Or simply say... Talk to God? Why bother? Does anyone take the time to give thanks to God above? Perhaps they’re “too busy” to give him their love? Does anyone ever take just in a moment’s breath… Thinking about God any time before their death? Does anyone know that...

I thought that we were friends, I thought you cared about me. Well I don't think we are friends, I know you don't care about me. I thought that you were a true friend, But I was wrong your fake just like everyone else. I thought that I could trust you, But now I see you just betrayed my trust. So thanks a...
