Unprecedented Upheaval

Unprecedented upheaval provokes
an extraordinary energetic current,

we're ready to march alongside others
to the high walls of the palace of those 

who now wear the stolen crown,
the mandate of the people.

they call it hope renewed,
but where's the hope in broad day thievery

the doggedness of our professors
who expel students for malpractice

now questionable for their
shenanigans is now on display for

Historical Upheaval

Counting History
Days, months, years
But history is not a
mystical process
You have written about the winners
but what about the losers?
You count history
You count what is written, but the truth
Is in the words that are never spoken
You count history
You forget to count lives.

Upheaval Symptoms

Life is inherently difficult. It is its cornerstone
Awakened, striving to tie up all wear and tears
Respect you've given, the kindness you've shown
Will still offer me vigor and be my exulting gear?
 
Awakened, striving to tie up all wear and tears
To be truly human, fully conscious, and awake
Will still offer me vigor and be my exulting

Upheaval Nations

Public protracts a meg night of sorrow.
My forebears' screaming intimidates me. 
I'm on high alert; catch my spirit growl.
Upheaval nations were met with fury. 

Whiners pelted with mallets left dreary. 
Police detained civil rights advocates. 
Despotism bears loads worrisome ailments. 
Anyone opposing the reins is held. 
 
Each note is judged by a team of

Revival-Upheaval

Blessed triumph, mighty spiritual
toward service upheaval;
divine renewal
wrought by God’s revival
uplifting me for His grand arrival.

Grateful to the Saviour Jesus for life eternal
my soul strives beyond mere survival
prioritizing not the ephemeral
by His grace, sharing His love so special
toward heaven’s bliss ... against vanities, merely temporal.*

*2Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen,

Storm
                 hissed loud
               twisting forms
           Painting town blood

Evil Upheaval

Evil Upheaval

There is this evil
Trump causing an upheaval
And utter chaos.

Jim Horn

This seems to be what is happening
every time I watch the news on TV.

Upheaval

Mourning news flash
Terror attacks;
Dead and wounded

~~~~~~~~~


Senseless acts
Vile perversions;
Human debris

~~~~~~~~~


Violent times
Scourge of evil;
Good men die

~~~~~~~~~


Why madness?
Blind self-destruct;
Empty ideology

~~~~~~~~~


The best revenge
Is forgiveness;
Love always wind

~~~~~~~~~


Thoughts of pity
Sympathy strains;
Painful empathy

~~~~~~~~~


Bullets and bombs
Explosive violence;
Terror ignites

~~~~~~~~~


Cheer cries
Happy dies;
Sorrow fruits gall

~~~~~~~~~


Bad people do
Bad things to good people;
Pain escalates horror

~~~~~~~~~


New world order
Devilish evil;
Sign of the times

~~~~~~~~~

Emotional Upheaval

Transparent happiness ripples in the wind that
Carries me into twilight
Invisible feelings sparkle in the moonlight then
Drip onto naked skin

Verity
quickly covered
Hidden, 
Like shadows in the dark

Fear keeps me silent.

Silliness
like a band-aid ripped off 
Is stinging truth

The heart on my sleeve
A deceptive impression of
Secrets buried deep

Will you be my shoveling muse?

In the Mislead Upheaval

In the sudden romance of dawn’s time
I find myself trying to find myself
Spinning in a motionless circle
We are content to be divided
Then gasp with grateful heaving
Knowing that we are one
That we are injurious and alone and tied together
We need not be poor in spirit
Let loose your bounty
Share and be grateful.

Upheaval

in the icy climates of winter's days
when only then, do the days grow longer
love slipped, careened, and fell away
balance and stability sway to reconquer 

and teetering on that glacial cliff
squinting at glinting diamonded ice
attempting to decipher life's hieroglyph
something will occur to make us think twice

in the freezing and thawing of loves seasons
both hard and cold

Lover's Holiday....Sweet Upheaval

Drawn from chaos Eros spell
Cupids arrow lovers swell
ought naught the stomach
.......full of knots,
can't eat,can't sleep emotion weeps

Crime of passion hotly contested
inner strength has meltdown bested
to have,too hold obsessive possession
the lovers twisted self annihilation.....

Bow string taut and quiver full
vibrations follow arrows pulled
deep the wound and deeper still
the mind to lose it's strength of will
driven is infatuated
