War of words
Tossed back & forth
Like badminton or tennis
Reverse the rolls
Don’t listen to polls
Screaming obscenities
Then good riddens
Like rock, scissor, & paper
No one knows how to play
One rule for this half
One rule for the other
Neither gets very far
Dumb words of war

Feeding into my thoughts
I hold back the wild horses
Bring on what has wrought
The demons crowd the porches
I watch them parade by me
I have my own fish to fry
Yet to learn to let go of things
Things I cannot begin to change
Working on what life brings
And throw darts at the mange
Waffling on my last pinched nerve
I scream around each curve
Why they do not listen
They do not hear a thing I say
They are bent on their pistons
Going off into oblivion’s pits
I can only let go and quietly sit
The world is blind to the evil
That floats them along the way
They do not see the mighty anvil
Nor the hammer of their day
They must learn the hard way
I must repeat the serenity prayer
And know that though I care
And somethings do not seem fair
But choices must be made
I can only go into my heart to fade

It’s sunny and bright outside
But here I sit in the shadows
Feeling down and almost blue
Wishing someone I knew
Could talk me out of feeling old
But truthfully I have everything
But my rickety models-T body
Is just working a little bit shoddy
A genie in a bottle I could use
I promise, he I would not abuse
Just a little wish to have energy
So I can buzz around my house
Throwing a few G’s
Getting it clean, throw out the mouse
Instead of acting like an old grouse
©joan53 -
I wish I might fly away
To visit another day
Fly up to heavens gate
To see my mother’s fate
Or float out upon the briny sea
And feel the breeze, be free
I might sail upon the clouds
And party very loud
I wish Scotty beam me up
Try some earl gray
And curl up on a soft bed
And sleep as if I was dead
I wish my life away
On a sunny crazy day

I may annoy
I may bring joy
But truth I will tell
At the ring of the bell
It may hurt
I may be curt
I cannot pretend
Nor can I bend
I cannot stand a lie
I will not comply
©joan53 -
Sadness hangs in the air
Returning like a pair
Of grabbers pinching there
Cloudy feathers fingering fair
The essence of nothing there
Roots of madness and despair
The light must penetrate through
And drive away the darkening hues

Screaming from within
The intelligence squirms
Stretching beyond the end
Pulling on life’s worms
Crush it, defeat the enemy
From the good within me
The world has complicated
Itself into a lalaland of wierdiness
Self destruction of placated
Enemies, streaming the wilderness
For answers to the evil hand
That has griped this free land
Wake up, see the truth others see
From England to Australia
World news reports across the sea
But it’s blocked, suppress, stranglia
So the truth gets untold here
What breeds here is prideful fear
The fight is real before the world
Truth is the lowest commodity
Though many hang onto the word
Many distorted it into unreality
Fight for the right we must fight
No matter how long into the night

Bumbling bees
Fall on their knees
Suckling nectar
From flower towers
Buzzing home fully loaded
Ready for the honey explosion
©joan53 -
I have had enough
Life has been pretty rough
I will continue to stand against
The evil that blasts our children
But I will not bend nor bow my head
To negative, hateful speechified lead
Staying positive til I’m long gone dead
©joan53 -
Crazy world
Crooked roads
Mists to cover the eyes
Strange voices
Strange interpretation
Rearranging definitions
Lost souls reaching out
Grasping fake straws
Missing the truth
Only on simple truth
To simple to accept

سن اے غافل! کھُلا دشمن ہوں تیرا تیری سانسوں میں دوڑتا میں
محتاط رہ اے غافل! صادق اعمال بڑے احسن طریقے سے توڑتا میں

@writersnetwork @mirakeeHey listen, you the reader!!!
Be cautious, devil is the open enemy
surrounding you as the shadow
everytime everywhere.
Save yourself from this foe,
others repel itself from you!!!

Oh my sleeping soul wakeup
For now,you slumber for a long
To the abyss of ignorance...
Wake up!!!
For now time is running so fast
To keep you miles away from must
Wake up!!!
Before your wrapper admix to dust
Before your existence merge to defunct

I inhaled the painful aches
Of hidden delirious wounds
Not by knives and knocks
But by an easy weapon
Honed than an iron sword
But softer than the cotton fibre
Put to use my gullible tears
Puffed out of my eye streaks
Enough to hurt me on her exhale

#mirakeewritersWhat's meaning of educated, if we don't know how to read someone's sorrows or can't write good stories for someone's life.
A true education educate you that you are not for only you but you have responsibility towards others who is in need.

Feel everything,
But never show.
Showing makes only shows for others,
People see it for their entertainment,
Then they ruffle clothes and walk out.

Empty
Im empty inside
This bottle is dry
And in my back pocket
I Got a handful of lies
My eyes are empty sockets
where my soul used to hide
I have drawn the shutters
Now no light gets inside
Devoured by demise
The best muse I can find
Is the serenity of pain
Im a slave to its disguise
Empty is my stomach
Calloused are my feet
And so are my hands
I have to kill if I do eat
but Empty is my plate
Empty is this street
there's Emptiness inside
Of every promise that I keep
knives don't cut as deep
as lifes serrated teeth
this crater is the greater
part of what is me

The dread of everyday life
Leaves me feeling compromised
I always write about the darkness of night
But never of how I escaped the light
The world had me feeling blue
So I did the only thing I knew to do
I cut ties to everything star bangled
And the rope that left me feeling strangled

Its hard to tell how far
My dark days go
Without any battles scars
That I can show
For im fighting a battle from within
I'm fighting my own head
Watching everyone grin
About what someone did
To get their battle scars
While I'm over here drowning
Noone will know how far
In the dark im going
©poeticlycan -
I never been scared of what lies in the dark
I'm scared of all the words I won't write
Fear has always been my spark
It's what makes me feel warm at night
I never minded shouting into the void
It just reminds me how lonely I really am
People are something I often avoid
As they wouldn't let me be who I am
In a world that never listens
It's hard to say anything
It's better to write it then
My words will be there when there is nothing
