Parents, siblings, all gone in a Raid
Such is the way of insect populations
Every bug has its day when sprayed
One escapes, clings on to life up high
A little fiend makes my house its home
Looms stark against the pure white ceiling
A contrast in black dressed in ancient armor
There is no contract, no rental agreement
Insects can not live here for free
How do I send it an eviction vacate notice
I don't speak bug. It does not speak English
Never will it leave this room alive
I hold a rolled up magazine ready
If it moves an inch I'll strike it dead
Always in my sight, I never rest
So help me God just let it animate
Give me strength to be more vigilant
For years now I watch the bug not move
Never once has it blinked or flinched
Perhaps its sleeping or something else
Plotting a take over of my house
To avoid rental fees and ceiling cost
Prodigal ways die hard when you're a bug
Such wasteful and extravagant creatures
Sooner or later it will have to pay or leave
Or sign a five year lease, no pets allowed
At least that's how I see it in my house
Does it pain your heart to know that people do bad things?
Or worry your sweet innocence that death waits in the wings?
Worry not that harm may come at some unsuspecting time,
or that you may be caught off guard by some unnerving crime.
Just keep your wits about you, watch your flanks and self-protect,
remain steadfast in vigilance and from this don't defect.
But if by some unseen attack or accidental chance,
you or I should get the nod and have to leave this dance,
don't be frightened, don't look back, continue on to strive;
death will come to all of us, so enjoy your time alive.
Awesome!
Where do I have to go?
Impossible to count the number of steps to get me home,
She needed me for sexual excitement,
Yet,my thought and ego was beneath enlightenment,
Nothing did she afford to do then,
At the moment she saw me on the field,
Inside me was a tempered shield,
Which made her bullet against me,
Get back to the shooter.
The sellout of an identity
was complete.
You were standing on your
blood.
Scarce was the remorse
in your eyes,
after killing your
verse.
Bipedal activity has been
ruined.
And you were crawling
on all fours.
You are glorifying the
sex,
forgetting the brides of
jungle.
Can you walk upright,
stay clean
and stop eating the dialogues ?
Satish Verma
He had to be on his guard at all times
The swift forces of evil sifted through to receive his gait
Still in awe combersome state of resistance
What everyone simply needs in life is a chance
Eternal vigilance,
Then soon vanquished to its cryptic elemental heights
Some having even fought back the intense pain lest I refrain;
Another twist in prominant vice to promote its blow
Some our quite eager & content
In getting the best out of me...
Some having sifted through its canvas setting abode
Others ponder relics in an excursion filled up in cold & distant stream
By a clever heart of careless scheme
Eternal vigilance
As fragmented cold yet distant hearts asunder
In stoic yet stark quiver in its plumetted excursion
Shelter lies dormant exposed to its inner beckoning call
Eternal vigilance
Within a certain thrust to expose eternal vigilance
Today are society lies dormant;
Exposed to its desperate rudimentary elements!
A plain but inviting bench
Old with chipped black paint
Yet brisk with an energy I long to caress.
Dancing flowers tall and bare surrounding the old sit-place
Flowing in the ever blowing wind
Weeds entangled in the exquisiteness I strive to accumulate.
Lush green leaves shift and then become still
As the slight breath of the angels ceases to come
And the bark beams up at me
Through bright eyes and with never ending nerve.
Downhill there is a creek, bubbling with anticipation
Fish of beautiful colors are trapped beneath the surface
With Elodea Canadensis crowding the bank.
Across the street, children running
With parents striving to reach the goals
That their children can on the play area
Watchfulness is the key ingredient.
Constant Vigilance
