Fear of death, 

is nothing else but God's deterrent for to  

prevent Man from deserting the battlefield 

of life!

Light in abalone
breaking iridescent skin
Know me or don't know me
but by all means, please let me in

Sea storm undercurrent
stirring swirls of liquid sand
Serve as my deterrent
as you take me by the hand~...

Insults By Trump

Trump's insults seem to be unending
And on mind of a child are depending
Don't invite people and be a deterrent
Knowledge of issues is never current
His campaign should be suspending.

Moew...
I wonder why
People use their bright black eyes
To glimpse the dim corner
Are they chief mourners?
If not...
why they keep crying on that mahogany desk?
Are they an actor of burlesque?
Or they only act as a deterrent 

Human-being is so...
Difficult to understand...

Every country has it's
share of weapons
they say they're just to stop
the threat of war,
but if they're only used
as a deterrent
why does everyone
keep buying more,
we already have
the perfect weapon
it's done more damage
than the rest so far,
and killed more people
than your bombs and bullets
we know it simply
as the motor car....

Always Would Knew It Was Apparent

We always knew it was quite apparent,
What we determined to be a deterrent,
Were involved,
And resolved,
Made mistake when they were errant.

Story of Congress's life.

Going to take a trip to New Bern 
to buy a Scholitski's sandwich
after having breakfast at IHOP
near COSTCO in Wilmington....

Praise 
above the rain 
Praise the storm 
Praise above the wind 
Praise 
your pain 
pray above the situation 
deterrent nature
Rise 
Rise above the rain
Rise 
Rise above the storm 
Rise above the pain 
Rise
Above your situation 
Rise this is a torn nature 
Rise in your praise 
Rise
 always
Rise in your praise

Nuclear War
I abhor
The thought of this.
It would be remiss,
To pretend,
Although it is hard to comprehend,
The bomb is capable of world destruction,
Putting an end to greed and corruption,

Nuclear deterrent, Huh!
More like blackmail I fear,
Who will push the button first,
Sadly some powerful people thirst
for war.
No concern for others who die,
And the world cries.
Why?...

Trump's newly-appointed EPA Chief
Found himself buried in EPA grief

To prove he was no party-pooper
He likened Trump to a Giant Grouper

Swimming against an almighty current
Where even the sharks were no deterrent

"Forget the  'U' and immigrant no-hoper!
I'll rename that fish, "The Slippery Groper"!

Well,  Congress agreed to just let it pass
That's God's honest truth, you bet your wrasse!...

Water surrounds him,
The moving water awakens his prowess,
The unruffled flow in the dead of night eases his sleep,
After being awakened by his muse,
He needs to go back to sleep,
The man in the lighthouse,
The man in the light pinnacle,
Years have gone by,
There he loves to dwell,
He desires no other company,
All the ship's mice are never a deterrent,
He lives above them.

Cruelty ~ thy manner strains,
but with it still invokes the salt,
while bloody more, the soil remains
as basking hope, do but assault!

Do feel your motive faults the fault
explains deterrent, no consult,
why struggle if thy methods vault
ne'er meaning, but all else results!

Oh cruelty leads as manhood cults
but there to mention, serve insult ~
Oh man, thy numbers mate the day,
while justice sleeps alone . . . . some way!...

Cruelty - thy manner strains,
but with it, still invokes the salt,
while bloody more, the soil remains
as basking hope, do but assault!

Do feel your motive faults the fault,
explains deterrent, not consult -
why struggle, if thy methods vault
ne'er meaning, but all else result!

Oh cruelty leads, as manhood cults,
but there to mention - serve insult!
Oh man, thy numbers mate the day -
while justice sleeps alone ...some way!...
