Premium Member Trolls, Bots and Spidered Webs
Through false truth, the Rus reclaims hegemony, Farming trolls to be enrolled, 'Neath bridges, clowns, see enemies, Puking riddles on those tolled. Then the bots deliver the hurl, Regurgitate into the net, Till truth is common as a pearl, Yet what you see is what you get. Spidered webs entangle yonder, The language largely modeled, And artificial minds are left to ponder, Which words are...

Justice
They say Justice is blind But one person Who cares only about themself Gets to decide what justice is? If justice Is sending an innocent man Away From his family, His friends, His life, No trial, Because you don’t like his tattoo Is justice, I want no part of it. Can you not see If it can happen to him It can happen to anyone. Because he came here Illegally Is he less human? Does anyone...

American Horror Story
Reading. Crying. Screaming. Begging you to listen You only believe what makes you feel good You Laugh, and say "don't you know I'm a Christian?" The only thing you question is science and empathy Not lies, not religion, and not your racist parent's beliefs Unconcerned with how your decisions affect us here and now because you're so sure god is coming...

Woven in Legacy
They were already awake, The sky dark as the work ahead, Hands stiff from la tierra, Feet bruised from the miles, Yet they never stopped. The nights were too short, The days stretched on, Sleep was a luxury they couldn’t afford. Still, they pressed forward, One step, then another. La tierra gave little, But took all they had. Baskets filled with fruit, Hands worn from the toil, Every mark,...

Breath of a Forgotten Night
I don’t particularly remember it, Yet when midnight whispers through the air, —My heart aches. A sudden hurt, a lonely ache, As if the past is breathing near, A moment lost, yet somehow known, When the air smelled just like this, And I was breaking too. It feels like my heart is holding on, Though my mind can’t trace the past. Some feelings don’t need...

Infiltrated
Infiltrated is what I rate it the taking of our government raided The voice of the President, "It's gold plated." Yet the relief of a nation Is being impatiently waited Jannes and Jabrese the officials they sent Without anyone knowing what they represent The ceasure of records, control and the moneys being spent All the good causes good government would grant The poor...

Rambling Poet
Being forced to move places, Because I have no control. It shows how stuck I am; How reliant I am; How not free I am. I am seventeen, feels like I could be ten. Holed up in buildings, Like a doll, Kept safe from the world. She may never escape, Her destiny is and will always be this. Only thing she did for herself is missing, The...
