Poems About Violence Seeking Friendly Advice

Violence
My friend was murdered.
It seems like something that happened to someone else.
Surreal.
The story was on the news.
H called to tell me.
I don’t recall how I felt at the time.
Another summer, another death.
The third year in a row.
——-
I must call B and tell her the news.
She probably already knows.
It is the right thing to do for a friend.
—-
I did not realize I was a victim of a crime until the funeral.
The widow gave a speech.
She said we were all touched by this event.
All victims....

Damaged
A step further,it creaks at a height.
White crusty lines,some enjoy the ride,
the ride of a lifetime.
Empty,are the waves,shackled by insight.
The little boy behaves,a sigh.
Misty,are the trees,the boy climbs.
The droplets of green leaves,every moment he takes flight.
Uneven, are the Poppy flowers,now black and white.
Now a man. Most destined to fight.
Silent,is the baby,crib mystique.
Who knows,the father,of this child.
A mother digs deep into the ground.
Baby in crib...

Olly, olly oxen free!
"Olly, olly oxen free!" Haunted by the Sandman
in my dreams. Noone returns, because, we are
all dead. The proof is in the pudding, six feet
in the ground as I sleep there in my Buster Brown
shoes with my dog Tige. Listening to the syringes
break and the beer on tap becomes life's new
tempo and then play the victim. "Olly, olly oxen
free!"

Zoo, Not Logical
Periods, pregnancy, and the menopause
I have, and never will endure
Male violence however
Has on many times, left me insecure
As they beat me, and kicked me
And one time hit me with a sock
Which contained two snooker balls
Repeatedly hit upon my head, my brains to unlock
My nose had been bloodied
My eyes black, and blue
The only message from these bastards was
"We really hate you!"
But somehow i survived this
Many times i thought i'd die
As bloodied tears, ran down my face
As i would often...

Fulsome Voyeur
Present witness
Hail to the dawning of odes
seep through the rile of desire
In fire and filth
Poisoning the spades
Widowing
the
stones
Cresting incompetency
Pale in parlour
A fading crass caller
Measuring echoes
of
solemn flares
Layers of cold
Slayers of bold
Chiding fulsome voyeur
A splash of endeavour
A contemptuous jade
Clutching her pearls
As he infinitely whirls
Across gander and foam
To frightfully roam
Thieving
Auspicious
She’s unmindful
He’s...

Getting Paid
Put that shit in his face, fucking face to face
His fear is spread on the table, let’s take a taste
That shit fucking hit me like this bitch is laced
His emotions are a lie, deception has his as on free base
Is that shit in the walls, boy you better tell it all
I’m about to blow this bitch up and then I’m going to the mall
Blow that bitch up, me and my boys participating in a free for all
Up on camera getting all shiny when the police comes to call
PD and Lil Runt sniff that shit out
Double L break everything on that bitch except his...

Escaped or Set Free?
It roars at me from its restraints
Pleading to be released
Rattling its chains, its constraints
All who've seen it are deceased
It knashes its teeth, gnarls and growls
Wailing, like a wolf in search of prey
It rumbles, then lets forth firey howls
Urging, wishing to be thrown into the frey
I feel it burning me in times of conflict
Tearing my insides, forcing its way out
Pain is his pleasure, he lives only to inflict
I keep him caged, inside a bloody redoubt
Don't tease what you think is innate
Do...

Tossed Up
K-Dog rolled through bragging that he had just made a new contact
This bitch had the oxy, the perc, the meth, the bitch even had the xanax
Dog had that powder, I mean that real come and get it boy
Motherfucking fish scales surfing the waves, that real ship ahoy
He went into his stash for half and got the rest on face
Knowing that the hood would be jumping through hoops when they got a taste
Rooms were rented, microwave ovens rolling non fucking stop
Backyard sheds processing his meth also around the clock
K-Dog became the man, I mean like...

stained palms and fractured trust
never ceases to amaze me
how easy it is to break trust
such a fragile little thing trust is
at times it feels as if people enjoy it
taking a fragile trust and crushing it
a little kid gets the same enjoyment
from crushing flowers to stain their palms
some people just want to cause pain

To Beget is To Recycle
Pain begets pain, how could I be confused with someone sane
So much taken by those that should had loved, so much to regain
My emotions are circling a toilet, my heart can feel the pain
Fallen tears are used to fill the bowl and help with the drain
What is a guardian, should this word be so flagrantly used
Especially when those with this title choose to abuse
Verbally the scorn and put their wards down
Profanity and negativity beating on eardrums with a tomtom sound
You can't do this and you can't do that
You're to fucking skinny or...

Step Your Game Up
I done did this shit
Called in to the game just to pinch hit
Just like Goodyear motherfuckering roll with it
Shawty wants a thug until there's bullets flying around this bitch
As long as there's dinner with drinks, paid for by my grind
Me walking around the mall, purchasing whatever you find
New car in your spot, new phone, a new wardrobe, and new rims
All of your friends all jealous whenever you come around them
You enjoyed the fruits of my labor with no remorse
Enjoyed that lobster like you didn't know the source
Bottles of wine,...
