My Unfair Lady

At this very moment I'm sharping my pencil.

I'll bite, I got something for you.

And thread bump.

Slap Her With My Verdict

What's not fair is her aloof stare
Gazing innocently into the horizon
As if I couldn't get inside her
Shes demands attention, I will supply her--
Lion with fresh meat
Give it to her hard and hot and not
To repeat, hard and hot and thick and sweet
I want to make her regret her rudeness
Put her foot in her mouth
Drill and grind her until she taps out
But I'm still going strong
So strong I make her eyes pop out
She can't contain her thunder clouds
So now the ambrosia falls out
All over my temple of submission
But I can't stop there, I have to make it clear
Don't demand justice if you can't commit the tears
Slowly your serpentine body slithers around my ankles
Begging for another taste of disgrace
I wipe my verdict all over your face
Then slap you with my hard stiff book
Now you think twice before you give a man like me
A can't-make-me-cry and never-in-your-wildest-wet-dream
Look.

This comp is about injustice. Try again, Bo.

What is Wrong With You?

how can you justify this?
the senseless murder of an innocent boy
only eighteen and going places
yet defend a murderer
who shot up a school
just because he was white and an honor student?
how can you justify these racist double standards?
how is this okay in your mind?
people say 'racism is dead'
but have you even seen the truth?
obviously not.
remember Ferguson? not hard. its happening right now.
what, if it were white people, would be considered 'concerned citizens'
is considered an 'angry mob'
surrendering children being shot and gassed
police driving trucks into crowds.
how on earth is this okay?
cant you see the problem with this?
and this isnt the only example.
there are many more, many more instances.
police brutality, caused by skin.
because people, despite all we've done, still hate whats
different.
we need to spread word, make peole angry.
because nothing is ever going to change unless someone tries.
because there are innocent people being targeted
simply for the way that they look.
because people of color have to be extra carefull.
because little white children are told
'if youre in trouble, go find a police officer. theyll help'
but if given the same advice,
a little black child might not be helped.
HOW is this EVER JUSTIFIABLE?
HOW can you EVER DEFEND this?
HOW ARE YOU NOT ANGRY?
HOW ARE YOU NOT TRYING TO FIGHT?
how is this okay in anyones mind?
how is this EVER okay?




(euh sorry i just got angry at the computer screen and hoped it turned out alright. hope it makes sense >.>)

                     WARNING



Buyer beware
Love is unfair
There is no guarantee
For what you cannot hold or see

Love is not a binding agreement
Requiring participation equal and fair
Previous promises, 'love' foreswears
Return on capital investment is rare

Love does not warranty broken hearts
Nor does it cover wear and tear
Nonrefundable, no replacement, no return policy
For broken hearts damaged irreplaceably

Caveat emptor
Be careful, take care
And always remain aware
Love is, and will always be, unfair


CAUTION: If love comes in direct contact with eyes or skin, irritation, insomnia, heart palpitations, and uncontrollable weeping may occur.
FIRST AID: Wash mind and body thoroughly with alcohol. If symptoms persist, call therapist.

GLORY BE TO GOD

What must a man do to hold true to his beliefs
Murder for the right to be a free man
Or face the cold bite of iron swords?

Here we are, spit upon and called the pagans
For refusing to crawl with pining sheep
And kneel to a faith that was not mine

Burn our house and homes
All in the name of God
Bairns put to the sword
All in the name of God

Persecute, Absolute
Glory be to God
Resolute, Execute
Glory be to God

Invading armies under a banner white
Stained red from miles of villainous torture
To refuse their Lord is to die now

A traitorous king abusing his power
Olaf stains the blood of the All-father
For the sake of his Christian belief

Slaughtering our world
All in the name of God
Slay daughters and sons
All in the name of God

Persecute, Absolute
Glory be to God
Resolute, Execute
Glory be to God

Us few stand firm in the face of destruction
The cruel flames licking the ground around us
Trying to force us down to our knees

The Christian horde marches steadily forward
As I send a silent prayer to Thor
Give me the strength to stand without fear

"How Far We Have Not Come"


Five months and fifty years I have breathed the air of freedom  
Behind my shroud of white comfort and grade  
With all our laws of equal rights and equal pay  
And actions to affirm that we mean what we say  
With Supreme Court decisions we can always make undone  
Another man declared “just look how far that we have come”  
What a joke the trembling words of ignorance!  
When the lines become blurred between hatred and romance  
Stay sick when you’re unwell, then die and go to Hell  
And if you’re in the mood to buy I got a bridge I wanna sell  
We need more cash to finish the fence along the porous south  
While we cut out stamped assistance to feed your hungry mouths  
Cut back money to public schools where learning is sedated
To keep OUR growing minds more highly educated  
We still have jobs for you that no one else will do  
Found clever ways to pay you less than a minimum living wage  
Taking kickbacks from plastic cards instead of cash or checks  
That charge you if you spend and charge you more to save  
We found more ways to make a profit from all the choices that we gave  
‘Cos if we cannot own you, we’ll still work you like a slave  
We’ll watch our hood for hoodlums out for an evening walk  
And stand our ground against snacking hoodies that we stalk  
Or stop and frisk everyone we profile as suspicious  
But keep them at a distance in case their color is contagious  
We’ll power up the House to defund head-start for underprivileged youth  
Then we’ll pass eleven laws to make sure that you still lose  
Just like the right to vote you were never supposed to use  
‘Cos time has surely eliminated those who discriminated  
So said most of the Supreme Pawns who were selected  
Through haughty high strung puppets we elected  
Who in hatred and in-justice were truly deaf and dumb  
Yet clearly I can see how far we have not come


(jj Johnson)

Thank you all for your entries so far! Two more weeks (will be extending)

I will give this a try but i gota think for a bit more

###

I've decided to change my entry if that is possible.

If not, then this'll be a piece just for the enjoyment of the competition.

Bodies


                 Bodies, Bodies
                 There are bodies every where.
                 Mothers are crying, children are dying,
                 and every one else eaten up by the fear.

Right now it's all about color,
but is it fair for our children to see such violence.
Is it fair to confuse the new generation,
letting them see the group-war filled with unfairness.

Is it fair to let a child take on
the responsibilities of an adult?
Because the adults are too busy
to think about what they really should
be taking care of.  

                 Bodies, Bodies
               There are bodies every where.
                Mother's are crying, children are dying,
                and every one's give up the deaf ear.

Is it fair for a mother to loose her one
and only child?
Just because the police can't reach to
the scene of the crime in time.

For some one who's struggling to put food on
the table for his family, is it fair to take away his life?
Just because, the color of that individual's skin
happens to be black, and not white.

                  Bodies, Bodies
                 There are bodies every where.
                 Mother's are crying, children are dying,
                 and every body keeps acting like they just don't care.

Why are the rapist, and murderers being offered 'Bail'?
Isn't stopping crime what they're after?
Why do they beat innocent people,
and not protect the abused children,
traumatized by such attackers.

I bet a million bucks that as I speak,
a pure child is being violated.
It kills me to know that, society sleeps peacefully, not wanting
to get involved. they are all full of bull ....!!!

                  Bodies, Bodies
                 There are bodies every where.
                 Mother's are crying, children are dying,
                 and they all just think about themselves.

"Once it's not family,
it ain't my problem, " that's what they say.
But do you think it'll be fair,
once the killings get out of control,
and take one of your loved ones someday.

OF COURSE NOT!
You'll cry out to skies, saying it wasn't their time,
why life had to be so Goddamn unfair?
But you had a chance,
you have a chance, to change and
to decrease the bodies that are every where.
if you would at least show that you care.

                     Bodies, Bodies
                    There are bodies every where.
                     Mother's are crying, children are dying,
                    What will you do to change the unfair?

This comp is extended until 4 SEPTEMBER.


I meant to extend it via the coding option, but we'll have to make do.

Go ahead and post here. Thank you all for your entries so far.

PsychicApocalypse, yeah, no problem to accept your second post as your entry.

Thank you!

Glad you extended this, I forgot all about it. I just wrote this, so may have to work on it a bit... Maybe not.


Getaway



Unjust, is

the way he pawed her love
indiscreetly with sharp fingers
and a poisonous tongue
spitting her name on the floor
like it was never good enough for him

how every lie lingered under her skin
in the shape and colour of storm clouds
and he kissed her with force
when his tortured mind
whispered about her in grim tales


the situation

was like a fragile baby bird
trying to fly in a strong wind
the struggle breaking its wing
prisoner to the ground
where a hungry beast prowled

and she walked on glass
trying not to shatter the silence
nervous breaths and puppy whimpers
weighed on her lips
not letting them slip from her


he was responsible

for the cage that clung to her flesh
she was bleeding to death
from the lacerations across her heart
his love was made from nightmares
that he sent to her dreams

he wanted her weak
like a crumbling wall begging for mercy
her bones were strong
and they never gave out
when she needed them most


it was important for change

she knew that
and the mirror reflected her pain
pressing the truth to her eyes
laughter left to past memories
like a fading wish that never came

faking it was no longer her choice
she took back what was left of her
locked the door on him
and every step she made after
was her getaway
