My devilish mausoleum painted
with bloodcurdling remains
Cobweb gives spine-tingling
in mummified body
Tonyx
The knowledge of necromancy
- unknown X ?
Macabre beasts, tyrannize
a world of exorcism
Anti depressants !
The galaxy grows cold and poor
GoRe, gorE ... GoOOOre
- destroy the planet
Haunted xanadu didilduX
Does it take time for the sun to extirpate the dark night?
Or to ease its fire form to make the plight of farmers, light?
Can't a storm take the form of a tornado and revolve?
Or blow into a gentle breeze and prickly problems solve...?
You are like a lion, loyal, noble, and courageous,
Your love and compassion for all, yet, turn you umbrageous;
Like in a tiger, grace, strength, and suppleness are in you,
As true as the very steel, I find your ways to be true...!
Elegance brim-fills you as any finest of flowers,
To expand your powers, on you God his blessings showers;
Angels and saints surround you in all your journeys around,
Laurels of triumph are yours, though on your path thorns are found...!
No paths are so crooked, that they can never be straightened,
Sloth bears are not slothful; rather, they are well awakened;
I wish you would, my friend, being a brave adventurer,
Erase every error, and tyrannize every terror...!!!

Trekking woods, you may spot,
The tigers of cat class,
Terrorizing to view.
Tawny is their color,
Tinted with glossy stripes.
They are carnivorous
Tyrannize small creatures

It’s hard pin down when precisely
the world went insane.
It all began with a manufactured virus,
that obvious fact was hotly denied by many,
however the unscrupulous
quickly used the viral outbreak
to tyrannize the people.
Fear was used to control and force compliance,
this led to a wide-spread paranoia,
sadly many folks died, but something else went wrong,
the survivors caught a critical condition,
many succumbed to an insanity,
even the politicians and the medical 'experts'
went mad.
There was a lurch into a mass psychosis.
Those that tried to reason with the crazy ones
were attacked, banned, cancelled, or shouted down.
Nothing made sense anymore,
and now as a new year arrives
we are all a little shaky, a little unglued,
but we follow the rules
hoping the planet
will recover in some cosmic asylum
one day.
I prefer to feel that I have shook hands with existing with the Present; recognizing that my yesterdays will persistently tyrannize my once buoyant tomorrows.
If I ill treat with the Mother Nature
Go against the Creator’s will
Tyrannize and exploit the weaker
Means I am misusing God gifted power
Burrowing a big hole to go to the hell into myself
It’s sure that God will give me no good sense next
I will be born as one of the great mad in this wonderful world
then the Nature will be the silent evidence
of my sufferings
Believe or not, makes no difference
