I went to unpleasant places
where there was no mention,
or even a clear defination
of the Holy of the Holies!
Those unholy places were dens
of fornicators who condoned
anything immoral and naughty,
many youngsters became victims
being bought for pleasures;
there all sinners practiced
what was against morality...
nobody was sinless and kind!
I went to unpleasant places,
where they chanted hymns
to Hadan and sacrificed a life
on a blood-dripping altar;
that scene made me run far,
thinking I'd be the next to die!
Youthful Eros was worshipped
and at his feet they prostrated,
then they danced around him;
he had manacing eyes so grim!
" Hey, come closer, join the feast! "
They shouted, " God doesn't exist! "
I went to unpleasant places,
to a town distant from the living;
there anything was allowed
to amoral gals and fellows escaping
the harsh judgement of others,
or being lynched by the crowd!
Unpleasant Dreams
Miracle Man
3/16/2023
At each days end,
some dream time I embrace.
I need restful sleep,
but my pain I can’t displace.
Sleep is short because pain,
shares my bed-space,
And at night’s end, reality,
stares me in the face.
steamy marshland teems
breeding mosquitos and flies

A stunning, stinging earful
I've heard my share
It sounds like a banshee's scream
And packs a wallop!
Uncomfortable
Tantamount to picking at scabs
That expose fresh psychic wounds

Young Bambi had found a new friend
And hoped his bad luck would now end,
But sadly, the skunk
With hair like a Punk
Wore scent which was prone to offend.
To add to his growing dismay
A boisterous buck came his way.
He thumped on the ground
With thunderous sound
And rabbited on every day!

A quick summary of the Disney storyline by way of explanation- Bambi's mother is killed by hunters and he is befriended by several forest creatures.
A 'buck' is a male rabbit.

Its something You think
You cant live without;
You feel it was inborn;
truth be said You know it is
all wrong;
You try the change only for
sometime;
You give up probably just
in time;
The Voice comes and
makes you accept it;
Yet deep inside you know
You should reject it;
its a stranger I tell you;
its a lie in the right view;
Giving up on changing it is
not an option;
But an act of imminent
destruction;
As You forever will never
find true happiness;
I leave You with this, to
mind my business;

UNPLEASANT ONES
Money obligations:
Parking tickets, mortgage, credit cards
All sorts of insurance:
Life, car, house, dental and health
Are overbearing and unmentionable
Disenchanting, unpleasant ones
Crying out loud: “Till death do us part”
Assets have corresponding dues
Unavoidable liabilities,
Valid or invalid reasons
Are unthinkable!
It entail fines and penalties
The more unpleasant ones
The more pleasant ones if you settle!
Although non-payment
Carries no imprisonment
Guaranteed by the Constitution
But it only turn to excitement
Interest incurring, mounting balances
Doubly unpleasant and annoying!
Lover defined sweet
Taking me beyond
My bitter end
