WEAPONS MUST BE BANNED!
Continued tragic events necessitate the banning of all things which may be weaponized by humans to kill other humans. ALL these items MUST be banned; if one or only a few are banned, psychopaths will resort to the next proven alternative! ** PLEASE REALIZE HOW SARCASTIC THIS IS MEANT TO BE.
Here is a partial list of weapons for an immediate ban implementation:
All guns, rifles and shooting devices:
This is an all too obvious choice.
All chemicals:
Many may be compounded to produce Cyanide, Sarin, Chlorine, Phosgenes, acids and numerous poisons...

Wedding Bells
A thousand weddings to go through, makes me want to elope.
Thought I wanted to be the bridesmaid when I don't even like the bride.
Her life's been one big wedding.
Perfect this, perfect that, mediocre husband.
She can never do wrong if she says it's wrong.
Bells are ringing in Hell.
Thought I wanted to be the bridesmaid when I don't even like the bride.
Her life's been one big wedding.
Perfect this, perfect that, mediocre husband.
She can never do wrong if she says it's wrong.
Bells are ringing in Hell.

Socrates put to death
399 BC,
for promoting morals
and western philosophy,
pupils Plato, Aristotle,
pick up his lead,
deductive thinking
and the world university,
but at present day,
millenniums away,
we repel their legitimacy,
why can’t we learn..
why don’t we love..
why embrace inequality
africans kids are crying
middle eastern babes dying,
in the US they’re getting shot down
in the street,
no need compassion,
corrupt men can’t see,

HOW?!
How can one encourage others
when discouraged themselves?
How can one preach about heaven
when living in hell?
How can we fulfill our destinies
when we're dying in the streets?
How can we feel like winners while being dinners at predators' feast?
when discouraged themselves?

The Spin Doctor
The lady doesn't share
she doesn't give it away
to the first one who
says he cares
The words may be sweet
but I'm not like a cat in heat
In case you didn't notice
I do have a brain
but that's not
what you're interested in
you want one who is
fickle, one who will
tickle your fantasies
so I won't fall for the one whose words are cleverly spun
Stay away from the spin doctors ( not the band)
she doesn't give it away
to the first one who
says he cares
The words may be sweet
but I'm not like a cat in heat
In case you didn't notice
I do have a brain
but that's not
what you're interested in
you want one who is
fickle, one who will
tickle your fantasies
so I won't fall for the one whose words are cleverly spun
Stay away from the spin doctors ( not the band)

God Mod[e]
Rather than being warrior
with your own Poetry, you [c]opt out
choosing to be a schoolyard bully
and lazy babble rabble layabout
when battling Religion's rhetorics
incapable of mining the metal
for carefully forged [s]words
Snakes in the grass
shedding ethics in similar fashion
if not faster through Politics
---just another recipe for disaster;
weapons in the wrong hands
welded together and wielded
become the stuff of madness
and we've had enough of this
shit; what's not a broken system ...

It's Your Fault
Are you
Close
to becoming
Undone
surrounded
by those thoughts
from the Past
Building shadows
to haunt You
with blame
that was
never yours
to Claim
Insidious
are those thoughts
that keep whipping you
with Emotional
Pain
Pain
that was never yours
to claim
as your stagger
to the edge
of your Life
Those who Care
silently stare
in Despair
watching you
Fade
into the pain
that was never yours
To...

Sociopath
You get joy getting
your way
You like to destroy,
Having you around
Is like a serpent
twisting
constricting
squeezing
every drop of
life force
from your prey
Your green eyes
are showing
but you're not done yet
You haven't rid this
place of every
decent thing left
your way
You like to destroy,
Having you around
Is like a serpent
twisting
constricting
squeezing
every drop of
life force
from your prey
Your green eyes
are showing
but you're not done yet

place of every
decent thing left

Cruel Days
Money scarcity
Lack of security
Violence; atrocity
Low circulation
Impromptu calculation
High prices
Unpaid taxes
poor gets poorer
rich gets richer
Parent starved
Kids orphaned
High demand
Less earned
Borrowing for debts
Corruption, theft
tampered future
More expenditures
Paid goods not delivered
The delivered not paid
situations fluctuation
power escalation
Accumulation of misfortune
Battles not won
Death of loved ones
Youth hooligans
More crimes committed
A life...

What You Once Was
Do you
Ever see It
within your Eyes
that
Sad Reflection
of a
Desperate Smile
when you think
Of all those things
That made you
Happy
You once believed
As the years
slowly passes by
those memories
find it harder
to smile
Within
a corrupted life
that you now live
Your
Twisted Faith
in what other people
say
What You should buy
How You should dress
How You should vote
How You should think
As this life
slowly ...
Ever see It

Doesn't really add up now does it?
Missing from the equation?
All other religions you are dismissing
as if yours is the only belief system that
counts or amounts to something substantial
Isn't there some Biblical scripture about vanity?
The math gets even fuzzier
as same sex marriages performed
beyond the compounds of Christianity
aren't recognized as legitimate unions
among Humanity because your God
supposedly said so
Why doesn't the respect ever go
both ways?
Other belief systems
so insignificant
so small ...
