On the far edge of the world there are
fanatics of many minds and religions.
They have uninteresting histories,
jejune existences, and distorted ideas of nature.
Some are belligerent, felony-friendly foreigners.
I’ve never given them a single thought,
because they are nothing to me.
They’re insignificant—living curiosities
and I grant them no more sympathy
than I would a flock of wild birds.
Of course, I’d never wish to harm wild birds
unless they had the wherewithal to attack me,
in inimitable, Hitchcock style.

felony-friendly = terrorist or crime adjacent
War on a chessboard, cutthroat and intense,
Vicious attacks and desperate defence.
Battle of wits with such a charming thing -
The Queen has upper hand over the king.
He has the crown yet as the game moves on,
Too often at the mercy of a pawn.
All King’s men go through ephemeral fame
‘Til sudden savage death at the endgame.
Game of thrones - power plots, schemes, strikes and strife,
Once hooked, one’s royally intrigued for life!

Bowlegged belligerent bellowing Boxcar Betty
Rarely rose to the ripe, refreshed or ready
She always had an exasperatingly idiotic excuse
To cavort and converse on Charlie’s Chicken caboose
Eddie’s Enthusiastic Engine was trite and tired.
Of these two freeloaders, quarrelsomely quagmire.
He wanted both Betty and Charlie off his train.
For they both were a challenge, and a horrible strain.
Boxcar Betty dug in her claws, determined to stay.
She loved riding the rails with Charlie every day.
Eddie had to keep Charlie Chicken too of course.
A train’s caboose is imperative as legs on a horse.
Illusions I see in the smoke
I feel like I’m going to choke
on every single word they spoke;
They just provoke, they just provoke;
I try to be considerate
hard to remain indifferent;
How can they still consider it
belligerent, belligerent?
Belligerent Bear loves his tree; it is the smallest one around.
He discovered it himself, it was easily found.
They gravitated to each other, the tree and the bear.
They were the best of friends and traveled everywhere.
Belligerent Bear took tree to Iceland, to Helsinki and Bali Hai.
They traveled on a train through Europe, seeing eye to eye.
They never had a quarrel, argument or squawk.
Perhaps this was because the tree did not ever talk.
Belligerent angel hear my prayer.
You've farked with us for what is fair.
Now hear me say you're one of us.
Corruptly wronging all of us.
Belligerent and Bold
What I recently have been told
Is awkward being belligerent and bold
Love won't last when lies are spoken
And love becomes small as a token,
Were caught out somewhere in the cold.
A Discourse in Remorse
Jim Horn
A Belligerent Bernie
What he did was disturbing by digressing
Around with minds when he is messing
Now have to understand what he meant
Wife looks good in dress they call a tent.
In repertoire many things are done by Bernie
Even went a journey to find an attorney
And down path as usual we were all led
He ended up seeing the Pope instead.
We would have to hesitate and levitate
And to see letter from Pope have to wait
He had hoped that the letter better be
Addressed to him from honorable Holy Sea.
As tension piled on while it was mounting
Letter had been from a Brooklyn soda fountain
Where on top of Sunday's they have to heap
For belligerent Bernie who is an old creep.

I can apprehend your thirst for annihilation
Your appetite to proliferate terror
To gratify your alter ego
To guarantee your supremacy
To drop bombs on beings above suspicion
To burn their unique meager crops
To demolish their eggshell havens
To confiscate their few vendibles
To kill their licit long-planned dreams
To haunt their minds
To shred their long -conceived hopes
To chain their legs and ears reverberate
Yet if you should actually do
Point your extortionate,sophisticated weapons
To poverty,hunger,misery,illnesses,homelessness...
For remember one of your trailblazing armored cars
Could meet the needs of many wretched souls
Chase angst from their forlorn,woeful profiles.
The time is here for the world to see
Just what it has become-
A nation under seize and war in which
To safety cannot run.
Innocent be the children with no future to behold.
So young the little victims; and yet,
So very old.
So, it states in Revelations that in so coming ,
It shall pass
To unfold the manifestation, humanity in itself
May not last.
Decision lay upon us, united as a nation or a whole
Be gone with war and criminals and in so doing,
No console.
Passivity is our ruin if we succumb belligerent lives
And in so doing, our hearts, souls and minds
We compromise.
It’s not through evil ways that true evolution
May take place
But in harmony in influence on every scale,
For every race
