Betrayal (Legacy left)

In the distance catastrophic tempest brew,
Consolidating chains that will bind true.
Born from ashes of a broken nation,
Using his charisma to gain adoration.

With an iron fist he rules with might,
Lead everyone down the path of blight.
He rose with charm and an iron will,
Schemed and plots with cunning skill.

Nothing can stop his relentless gain,
A strong man emerges, devoid of pain.
Perpetual reign, was his ultimate goal,
To be hailed as god, to be all powerful.

No light penetrates a shrouded domain,
Enslave the masses with iron claims.
Destroy the fabric of freedom and trust,
Snuffing dreams, leave ashes and dust.

Devising plans with a calculated guise,
Entrapping minds with treacherous lies.
Assembling his minions, loyal and true,
Spawned a legacy, perpetual and askew.

Legions of loyal followers, blinded by faith,
Hailed him as their savior, and their wraith.
Each believe every word that he had spoken,
Unaware of the chains, that cannot be broken.

He promises prosperity and endless wealth,
Those who followed blindly and obediently.
Wearing sheep's clothes and plans to wreak,
Little they realize it's words that beckoned.

His legion's march, instep side by side,
Perpetuate tyranny, crush all hope's tide.
Opposition silenced, repressed with fear,
Wielding power, endless days of despair.

Devious plans did unfold and held sway,
As he grasped for power, night, and day.
With each new scheme, his grip did stay,
And the land lost and all was in disarray.

The anxiety clasps at hearts so tight,
A darkness falls cloaking every light.
Apocalypse looms with every breath,
Hope snuffed out by lingering death.


Blackened skies cast shadows deep,
An omen of our country's cruel keep.
Silence the voice of helpless and weak,
Hands bound; results remaining bleak.

Amidst chaos, all hope starts to wane,
For freedom's dream feels the strain.
A war-torn land, and fractured bodies,
Where conflict chokes with no apologize.

A perpetual cycle that never slows down,
With lies woven into the fabric of truths.
The fractured nation, divided by tribes,
Corridors of power echo whisper genocide.

Those who question, he shows no mercy,
Labeling dissenters a shameful disgrace.
But beneath his facade of might and right,
Lies a coward, hidden by shadows night.

Little did he know, deep in a nations soul,
The lust for total power will be his downfall.
In the end, all his schemes would unravel,
Lies would be revealed, and his power fade.

Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

Hate! Hate! Hate!

I hate when that happens! I hate that! I hate her! I hate doing this! I hate him! I hate you!!

Nice word huh? Used by many worldwide. It’s said to describe a person, place, or thing. It has become part of our everyday vocabulary.

The problem with the word hate. It isn’t even considered among the 'four-letter words list'. You know those bad, profane words we all use at everyone & everything. Except this word hate is said as second nature. The worst word in the world! Just look around, read a paper (excuse me, read a webpage), listen to the radio or even watch or hear a television. Hear the word said over and over and over again.

It is without a doubt, in my mind at least, a most foul disgusting word used in any circumstance.

You may use hate just in an offhand way and not realize it. You know you use it when you’re raging pissed. (You know you do.) I have done it, used it. To vent or describe disgust and distain. Or just because I did not like or enjoy something.

This word hate comes from a feeling within us, within you. How you feel about a someone's skin color. How you feel about their social order or disorder. Their place in life, the toys they have, their sex.

Whatever it is you hate. Stop!

We are way to intelligent and I mean everyone. To allow this gross obscene lecherous four-letter word to creep into our vocabulary and set up shop.

Yes, it's easy and it conveys much. Plus, it will do the maximum amount of psychological damage.

But does hate really make you feel better?
Does it?

This word has hurt me more than any other word. This word can and has brought me to tears just because of its obnoxious casual use.

This poor excuse for a description was purged from my vocabulary system twenty plus years ago.

Refuse this word as a reference for the remainder of your life. It will make a complete difference in the outlook of life.

How about this. Go without saying the word for a full seven-day week. There are a plethora of words that can be used in its place.

To put it simply.
Hate is the evilest of all words.

What about this word, love.
Love, wow! Now there's a word we can all live with.

Take a Step

Take a step into the twilight,
Where a step will take you on a trip.
A journey to the realm of dreams,
Where reality and fantasy intermix.


The sky, a canvas of bright mixed hues,
Painting pictures of the setting views.
As shadows dance in the fading light,
Whisper secrets that have taken flight.


Step into the twilight's embrace,
Feel all its colors upon the face.
In this liminal space, time suspends,
And the whole trip has yet to begin.


The stars ignite with psychedelic light,
Guiding steps through a vast delight.
Each step taken leads out to the zone,
Mapping realms where dreams are sown.


Take a step, let yourself drift far away,
Leave behind burdens, join the display.
Grasp the twilight's intoxicating sky,
A sanctuary beyond clarity don't be shy.


In the embrace the mind races,
The barriers of reality dissolve.
The veil between worlds grows thin,
Inviting the traveller to evolve.


Journey into the twilight's realm,
Where imagination knows no bounds.
Ordinary transforms to extraordinary,
Where whispers of magic can be found.


Take that step, let the spirit ascend,
Wander through this mystical place.
Where fantasies bloom like mushrooms,
And dreams weave images of illusion.


The twilight shadows hold secret lore,
Whispering tales of forgotten insights.
Watch closely, let the stars guide you,
Where wonders lie at the very core.


Take these steps, embrace the unknown,
For in this twilight, new dreams unfold.
With each step a chance to draw new lines,
And no longer will boundaries confine.


So take that step into the twilight,
Where the steps will take you on a trip.
In this ethereal dance of light and shadows,
Release inhibitions, let the mind unzip.
