New Dawn
Our lips burn like swords drawing blood out at the break of a dawn. Coughing poison droplets in the fabric the time has spun. There goes our youth forever; There goes our thoughts- all ends at nothing, and nothing ends at all.

Premium Member ALWAYS REMEMBER
Today’s blessing comes via Elie Wiesel. A man who understood injustice…prejudice and woe having survived the Nazi concentration camps over 70 years ago… The words he spoke once he was liberated… today should be accentuated and stressed… “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice… But there must never be a time we fail to protest.” ...

Disgraceful Praise
When you are too cool, And we are dangerously fool! When you are too good, And we are mistakenly rude! When you are going to forgive, And we are going to dive in the ocean of deceitful bliss! When you erroneously allow us to speak, And we are going to attack you at your peak! You call us "the collaborators", You kill us by...

Premium Member Spontaneity
To say exactly what I feel, At first seems quite unreal. What’s on my mind to be exact. Without forethought, without tact? To beckon my deepest thought Not thinking whether I ought Well, OK I will give it a go, what will happen I don’t know. Thoughts sweep. Old times creep. Whispers remain. Joyous refrain. Quite unaware. Your blissful stare. The dense dark. Flights we embark. Monumental being. No eyes...

Premium Member I Think They Doth Protest Too Much
I think they doth protest too much Though they say nothing For fear the noxious, noisy wind Will leave its fetid stench on them For perfume is but a piglet’s bath A cloak o’er bloodied flags That bid them “go and do your worst” Your life is over, you are cursed They protest those that protest them A beggared chant verse sainted hymn Defend the...
