#vss365 Hands of evil Rise In brutal triumph As we Unknowing Do tender Grasp at Nettles Or Ride with Nero into The raging fire We can play it Satan's way- A game of Risk Our lives No offence We prefer Pretence Or stand for good+ Watch As evil's slimy trail #Slithers to an end.

#vss365 'Twas a dream That grows hazy A farm with 8 acres And a cow name of #Daisy , Chickens Two dogs A range to bake bread With crackling logs, But age caught me up There's days I'm just lazy And that dream is surely A little bit crazy, But still I will Have reams Of dreams.

#FromOneLine #vss365 🇺🇦 I tripped over In life More than once Ensconced In illusions Of safety I got up Over And again Multiplied by ten Determined To be I learned Stuff Much Of how to clutch At frailty Inside Now I make #Examination Of abomination And weep But I do not trip.

#vss365 Is it tomorrow yet When wrong's made right + Good wins the fight For freedom? Or is it yesterday When rivers ran red With blood of our dead A-flooding? What of today When hopes are #high No innocents must die For tyrant's lust? Or Will our tomorrow Be more of yesterday?

#vss365 Ode to the #sun Majestic metaphor Bringer Of light Of mighty Never-ending Power To tiny flower Or great desert's shifting Drifts Tender strong Seen unseen An unconditional Grandparent Ever giving No batteries required Just there For you and me See From above With love

#FromOneLine #vss365 I ran towards the melodic humming Feet a-stumbling To find you, Bloodied thorns Beasts with horns I'll find you! #Memories haunt Task daunts But I'll find you, Now I'm here Hums disappear I can't find you, I wake to face Cold empty space No trace.. Of you.

#vss365 All's safe on Morecambe Bay Today But many are glum About the sum Of drownings, There's ghostly shouts Hereabouts From coach and four And many more All drowning, But now there's hush At tide's fierce rush Sweet #siren saves Us from the waves And drowning. #onegoodsiren

#vss365 I wonder if the most avaricious, psychopathic #pirate in the world today sees himself as a handsome, tall, swashbuckling, #adventurer ? Well, many of his subjects do, because he's told them to. Many of his subjects don't. And they're imprisoned, living in fear, or dead.

We walk sad paths, each bounded by bitter edges, longing eating inward till we, giving our very souls to hell, partake. Help me, I cry. Better without me, You call. But we fall Together For threads of death had us bound as one. But now you're free, And You #betray me? #vss365

@RitchieJune @DaveAtherton20 I have. He's right. Perhaps it's you who hasn't travelled much, and if you have - were your eyes/ears closed all the time?

#FromOneLine #vss365 The water chilled her Bonny bones And stones pierced Sweet Tender feet But strong arms met And In delicious #duet They dipped and rose Till wrinkled toes Were froze Then sweet words Could be heard 'By 'eck and skies above Let's get that kettle on luv.'

#vss365 And the world Turns dark With pain as Old scars crack And burn A-bleeding Elephants pack Their trunks With memories None may tell As they hear the bell A-tolling But wait! Avenging Angel Strides fire Thru bloody Mire To evil junk he says Go on #punk Make My day ⚔️🔥⚔️

#vss365 And in her #innocence She watches the world Unfurl before her Aching to understand The hurt The sickening sights Of cruelty and pain, Storms of shock Threaten her, Still Too young for choice She, rocking, learns to Sway in harsh gale force And weeps At such betrayal.
