Sparing a Life - A soldier's story
She sighed in acceptance as my lips brushed the delicate skin of her collarbone, a tender exploration in a world hardened by hate. My tongue circled the nipple of her breast, round, and round, as if mimicking a childhood game. She held her place, not breathing. I smelled the sweetness of her milk and remembered the soft suckling of her child now asleep in the crib.
The woman I embraced was tangled in the chains of military might neither of us understood. The quiet of her apartment was a sanctuary but battles raged in the distance. In another life, we might have met in the...

Will there ever be peace on earth?
Pestilence, death, destruction and gore
Disease, tragedy, bombs and war
Trudging through a world of shit, up to my goddamn waste
Thrashing, madness, fed up of this human race
The innocent souls cry out for peace
The cure has come to erase your disease
Ride the storm, kiss the dust
Peace on Earth, freedom or bust
Gluttons, greed, egotistical humans wanting more
Psychotic devolution, plaguing whore
Only one choice left, interstellar law
Obliterate, annihilate, disintegrate you all
Observing your cities crumbling down ...

The Horde
Funny how promises
Are quickly broken
As more lies await
As yet, unspoken
It's all about control
And power
From which one day
Nuclear war may flower
No words are mightier
Than the mightiest of swords
The blood, and ink run dry
As they release their nuclear hordes

Spiritual Warfare
Seduction lives on the wicked side of town
Concrete jungle with snakes lurking around
Street jesters forced to don an empty frown
Corporate hacks make deals on holy ground
Human cattle used as labor for the machine
Until artificial intelligence replaces all people
New opportunities lean toward the obscene
Wealthy beasts service him inside his steeple
New age sycophants bow to a demonic god
He’s evil incarnate in the finest designer suit
Built a kingdom with countless acts of fraud
Spiritual warfare’s a seed still producing...

Better Days
There was a point in my life, where I had lost sight of the light.
Walking down dark roads and lonely nights.
Not even Satan could explain to me, my wrongs from rights.
To some people temptation was a disease.
But to me, it was an escape from what I had seen.
Not having to differentiate what dreams were from memories.
Previous wars, bullets whistling and people's screams.
Only a certain few can understand the words that tend to bleed.
Lost friends, loved ones, and casualties.
Always looking over my shoulder, checking for the enemy.

Last meeting for Peace
Potatoes danced under silver umbrellas.
Always jumping screws in a replay scene.
Silk stockings flew as light as hippos...
A political party is always pure clowning.

Not Even A Memory
The tongues of fire
In bones and dust
An empire rotting
Bent steel and rust
The fall of kingdoms
Cold march of time
The age of reason
Still wonders why
Smoke and ashes…
I’ve seen the future in ashes
The world eaten by the sun
Watched my family turn to dust
Where the rivers used to run
I’ve seen the end of history
The world is just a dream
Passing through the dark of time
No matter how I scream
Not even a memory…
In bones and dust
An empire rotting
Bent steel and rust
The fall of kingdoms
Cold march of time
The age of reason
Still wonders why
Smoke and ashes…
I’ve seen the future in ashes
The world eaten by the sun
Watched my family turn to dust
Where the rivers used to run
I’ve seen the end of history
The world is just a dream
Passing through the dark of time
No matter how I scream
Not even a memory…

The Rhythms of War ...
Our leaders tell us war can be avoided,
but the past says different,
these leaders say wisdom will guide trembling hands, but where was this guidance previously?
hovering over the nuclear switch,
While the weight of our history presses heavy against the future,
a script we've read before,
tattered and frayed at the edges, blood-stained in the middle,
lives lost without pause.
These mighty Empires begin to fall and decline not with dignity,
but with the echoes and shouts of the desperate,
As they clutch at the last fragments of their...

There's No WINNER In The End !!!
So as we are one & trained, thinking alike these GOD'S we did not claim, are now warrior's to reign. Euchre is the card game to deceive as mischief never follows to receive. Stymie structure arranged for their enemy to be framed, encase of symptoms of their ruled container to remain. A warfare of oddities of to many. I stolely bow & knell down...But my sword I fought in your war of selfish rules...I couldn't live with myself with your laws of wrong doings
For once in my nobody life, beyond wisdom I tried to show you ingredients of past lives I carried to help the world as one...

Wartime Love
In an apartment shuttered in darkness,
Tangled bedsheets stained with love,
Hold the written record of tongues
Speaking in flesh.
Tongues that know well
Of their approaching deaths,
But even on a night filled with distant bombs,
They fall sweaty apart with a sated sigh.
Tangled bedsheets stained with love,
Hold the written record of tongues

But even on a night filled with distant bombs,

Acidic Flash
Inside all war there lies conspiracy
There's nothing to believe but lies
Raging fires on the innocent
While the dead watch from the skies
They take the blind man to the killing field
To play in someone else's game
Let the lesser lands be torn apart
And bring them here to bear the shame
Acidic Flash
Burns my eyes
Acidic Flash
Buried Alive
Severed spirits hanging in the wind
Tear the truth apart from lies
A sordid effigy of past mistakes
Their heroism lost in time
They send...
