the world is bleeding

"la monde saigne is French but in any language the world is bleeding"

                                                          Quote by _Constance

there is widespread suffering all around the world
war, violence, killing, death-  a deep wound bleeding
I watch the news and weep
the images so cruel to imagine what humans will do
there is global pain
      anguish
            despair
I have a feeling my country is falling apart
a helplessness fills my thoughts
in other countries
starving people shot while seeking food
      scenes of families mourning is so emotional
           I watch brutal injustice being dealt by the evil
oh, the fires and flooding causing lost of habitats, unmerciful
                      loss of wildlife
                               of the fish and birds
                                         and of family pets
global warming, pollution, animal extinction
        the north pole is melting
           are we damned
                       the world is bleeding

Their Last Moment Of Glory

This uncompromising Sunday
has agreed to let us enjoy
what is left of a boring day
as we ardently seek the brief presence
of a radiant sunset resembling red clay,
attesting the inevitable evidence.

The purple lilacs and pink tulips gently sway,
nobody listens to the crickets' soothing sounds;
early at sunrise they were inundated by big waves
and torrents of unmerciful rain pelting on the bay.

Every Bayberry and Crape Myrtle shrub has fragrant flowers,
they attract Sandpipers, Snowy Plovers and Monarch Butterflies;
they all feast on them, then they take off with incredible swiftness:
while the tranquil and brilliant sea resounds with various shrills.

I spot from far the noisy seagulls landing on the Church's steeple,
scattering the Gray Catbirds huddled on long cable wires that were
listening to the choir of faithful marching out with glowing smiles,
cherishing their last moment of glory under brilliant September's skies.

sensitivity

If I numb my feels,
It won’t bring me chills for real
My eyes are of teals

Sensitivity —
It’s kills and breaks me sorely
Tremendously so
Don’t break me or else…
I’ll tear apart at the seams 
Intrusive thoughts bleed…

Kindling kindness galore 
I don’t feel unmerciful anymore
Trust in me confidently
Believe in me, reflect on me

The Whispers of Autumn NFC

The whispers of autumn may speak about 
        the leaves' changing colors,
Or the dying 
          of the summer flowers.

The whispers of autumn may speak about
          the warmth of family gatherings, 
And the simplicity 
          of childish imaginings~

But whispers of autumn speak to me about
          the winter's fast approaching,
And the death spectre's 
          unmerciful encroaching.

Quote: I know there is a place for me in this world, as I am needed. – Speaks Volumes (Wendy Horder)
-------

She is lover of family, sharp in thinking new
Perhaps a bit sharp in words, unmerciful too
Even before you think that you do know her well
All about your heart is calculated by her still
Knowing world better, her fact-finder job was swell
She is spirited, pious, lively & rhymes well

Vigor, value, family & friends she admires
Oblivious to concerns of health, she inspires  
Little does she fear, stubborn doter, dog lover
Ultimate love is her quality gem, artless dear
More than anything else she adores poetry
Engrosses in shape-poetry & mystery
She loves humor, wit, wisdom, above all her country.

Whenever The Soldiers Go

These thoughts will follow
whenever the soldiers go...
to be with them into the battlefield,
reciting the shortest prayer
to protect them as a shield
in moments of uncertainty and fear!

A heart penetrated by sorrow
shares their belief deeply,
there will be many anxieties
appearing on their undistracted
and unyielding faces sunk in darkness,
so that they must never relent or show
weakness when their lives are threatened
and troubled by the unmerciful enemy!

This mind pervaded by horror and grief
struggles with the thought of death,
why must one give one's precious life
and free those oppressed by tyrants?
And would this life be enough to relieve
the direful desperation of horrific visions,
simply by knowing that there's someone
out there willing to join them in their fight...
despite the horrible pounding in their chest:
whenever the soldiers go to achieve their quest?

The Great Fork Debate

With several steel prongs 
tiny sharp swords attack 
all together as a very
UNMERCIFUL horde. 

Although....

These "sharp steel prongs"
don't do the slightest bit
wrong. They pick up and 
deliver the food that helps 
you grow STRONG.

Tinderbox

Autumn's at the mercy of unscrupulous wildfire
A tornado igniting forest walls with leaves aswirl
Flames of colors rare radiant orange sapphire
On glowing wind-borne embers storm, they twirl

October fires, dubbed the season of the witch
Destroying two hundred thousand acres in route
An unmerciful fate leaving a scarred barren ditch
Fierce arid gusty storms are furnaces in this drought

An exploding tinderbox from hades whence it came
A raging menace, water and powder could not rescind 
Cherished homes and lush land now go up in a flame
Engulfing the timbers like matches invoked by wild wind

Be warned all pyro’s, the witches of Witch Creek set on fire, 
Their smoke will fill your mouth, to tell what you’ve done prior!

Poisonous Apple

9/1/21

You need to know
To each their own

Fast to treat you like cattle
Tempt you with a poisonous caramel dipped apple
Quick to pick a battle
Thinking I've been fragile
On me they would tattle
Because they think it'll rattle
And cause me to unravel
But that will 
Just push me further on in my travels
I'm not surprised, it never baffled
Or left me bedazzled
Since you caused such a hassle
Choke you out with your own tassels
Or just make you eat my dust and gravel
They love to cackle
And prattle
Funny because they're nothing special, like a king or queen in a castle

The way in which it was done was sloppy or surgical
As I move around horizontal and vertical
They always try to make it personal
This world can be unmerciful
There's more to it than you and your convertible

Wow
In each and every town
Is snakes and clowns
So quick to put others down
And to turn the whole conversation around
I'm going to hold my ground
Your B.S. and ignorance will not be allowed

Self Motivation

Keep trying,
don't keep lying.

Rise up and move, 
don't stop and just groove.

Some might taunt you,
other's might haunt you.

Don't be childish,
rather be cool and stylish.

Life is beautiful, 
don't be so unmerciful.

Weeding the Community Garden

His body glistens in the golden sun
in youth his form solid as an ancient greek statue
He labors hard in the fields weeding so others may eat
wipes his brow from honest sweat
Summer's heat unmerciful
I to would go shirtless but my pale white gut
would blind out the sun that shone on it
Youth is fleeting, old hangs on and on and on
Yes he works three times my speed and smiles
that beautiful smile from his handsome boyish face
The ladies seem to notice
when I smile I am told to keep working
Volunteer for the community food pantry
The garden seemed simple enough
He stands and stretches and deeply sighs
all eyes upon him
Next week I volunteer in the kitchen

No Where To Run

This merciless invasion
A wolf in incubation
Deadly maturation
Mandatory isolation

Fear upon fear amplification
World-wide gargantuan
A new generation
Of lives in detention

Many made concessions
Amongst frustrations
Swilling in the stagnation
Of nature's destruction

Unmerciful predation
No retaliation
Where is salvation
On this train of extinction

Oh God help the nations
Escape this damnation
Save us from ruination
And give us resurrection

Plagued

I see you there
weaving in and out of shadows
flickering like the moon
obscured by thick clouds
hoovering overhead
as the incandescence light
of a new dawn breaks
in crimson streaks
across this sky

I feel your breath
brushing against my ivory flesh
in labored sighs
like a storm's rise
of quickened gusts
and i quiver
within the cold
of fear and death

your name
falls in whispers
behind the masks
of silenced lips
who care not to speak
of your wrath

from bended knees
my hands reach out
in pleas of prayers
hoping to see an end
to this world's despair

many join together
their songs of praise
in hopes to see 
a flicker of light
break through the duskiness
of this unmerciful plague
swirling around them
alone they feel defeated
together they feel strength
in one certain belief

Midlife Crisis

Bewildered in crossroad of crisis midlife 
steel wool clouds loom in porcelain sky
Confused and wearied in stubborn strife 
autumn leaves chased in wild winds fly

Unmerciful corrosion honing voids deep
contort soft green tendrils into hard wood 
Evaporated twilight tears no longer weep
in stream of subconscious, all understood.
   
blemish and freckles all wrinkled within 
yet in seal of love cuddled relations attach
Weeds align rosy bush, both smile and grin 
desire of fancy blings, grow in greeny patch 
  
No surprise of a palette of nebula rainbow
In signature of autopilot, many years to go.
