Stronger

I believe everyone must try once,

To work graveyard and feel rust,

Laugh as you may but it might pay,

To see the world from that dark night,

Imagine yourself isolated no one in sight,

Everyone you know is sound asleep,

Venture outside the shadows that creep,

To wake for shift you truly feel wretched,

As if your body woke yet mind wreckage,

The cars you see a thought drifts free,

Did they just wake or is it just me,

I envy those retreating back to home,

When I journey forth this black I roam,

The cool air is perpetually invigorating,

Wheels keep turning this sorrow is deafening,

Arrive destination the tasks before me,

Done it before but I still plan differently,

A change of motion to relieve the stale commotion,

A potion is drank to liven this will sank,

The brief boost followed by droop roost,

Energy quickly drain mind rapidly insane,

And then you may ask what is the benefit,

All you describe seems to be deprecate,

The best part comes after the deficit,

For living in the dark those hours mark,

Yet once the sun rise the loom instantly dies,

Light pours in and body haste refreshen,

Grey mood turns to white exist free from plight,

The day bringers begin to deliver again,

A relief from duty to go rest unruly,

And to suffer that pain is not in vain,

For everyday after each task is tame

Homicide

Does it ever take you back,

Far away to that place of attack,

Assault on morality state of duality,

One side ventures to overcome,

The second creates tension from,

A tear at what once was,

Still continued simply because,

Paralysis from greed does lead,

One down the path of need,

All that exists is that distress,

We set the bar to never stoop that far,

Funny how the bar vanished sub par,

That line got bent labeled vagrant,

Nomadic it travel not set in stone,

What once was hone now raw to the bone,

Gambled with our righteousness so careless,

Those good of heart could never play the part,

Easily manipulated fed to wolves then vacated,

They carried off our flesh for future success,

Attempted to mend wounds but found too soon,

A hint of evil snuck in come forth beckon,

Reply to the call allow disaster to fall,

Chaos consume seems right high noon,

Rampage this phage dwells within my cage,

Please quench this rage needs to be vented,

Expel out the fire fermented seething went it,

Some say let it go but inside more show,

Grow stronger although the lesson learned,

Trust less quick else felt burned

Occasions

When you haven't seen them for a while,

To spend some time and make a real smile,

Argue with those you see everyday,

Most of the time silly always that way,

Catch yourself fighting for right,

When you know it doesn't matter see the light,

For these moments are frozen in turn,

Dwell on them future ever so yearn,

Understand these cups will dry,

Our plates not filled so high,

Some may say eye for an eye,

But what does that help when you end up blind,

Invisible solution burnt wisdom dilution,

Intrusive elusive yet far more uses,

Not useless to form preemptive truces,

Take heed from darkness it thrives doubtless,

Remark this starkness spoken truly no falseness,

And always remember when leave must take,

Make sure it's on good terms not fake

Arthur

Knights of the round tales so profound,

The winning of a sword to become adored,

Unleash the hounds he is no king of mine,

He barely has a beard it's an obvious sign,

Rally under our righteous banner,

Defeat our enemies in the same manner,

The wizard Merlin lights a candle,

Forever it burn till he gives up the mantle,

Woe to be a king with no lovely queen,

By chance is seen the fairest in the land,

Send Launcelot forth offer wedding band,

Joyous occasions we feast congregation,

A mighty tournament pit swords for enjoyment,

Foreseen ancient the king will be vanquished,

Unholy foe incest born of seed sow,

On day of birth send all children back to earth,

Set sail doomed vessel no survivors save one,

The bastard Mordred lives a rotten son,

The fair Morgause seduced the king once,

Now she lay with Lamerok her love fronts,

Shame to be had for his dad killed our dad,

Pellinore did indeed slay King Lot ill fated deed,

The mighty Lamerok caught by Gaheris,

The son beheaded his own mother for shameful lustiness,

Lamerok was spared yet his fate drew near,

Arthur offered a truce but Lamerok did refuse,

The brothers ambushed after he was battle weary,

Gawain, Gaheris, and Aggravayne fought barely,

Lamerok stayed them all at the tip of his sword,

For hours they fought none could defeat this lord,

The coward Mordred crept from behind,

And stabbed dear Lamerok in the spine,

Tristan loved Iseult yet jealousy King Mark felt,

A lover's serenade ended with bloody spear Mark made,

Revenge for Lamerok felt by his cousin,

The poisoning of an apple for Gawain's consumption,

Yet another ate first and fell dead cursed,

It was the queen's feast and she was blamed not the least,

Put her to the stake we forsake her life must take,

Lancelot charged to rescue and slew his beloved Gareth,

For they refused to bare arms and fell swiftly to harm,

The kin of Lancelot rallied quickly to his castle,

Blood lust and rage filled Gawain's cage,

His brothers were dead felled by Lancelot's dread,

Sorrowful Arthur no choice but to avenge honor,

March against his own men the bloodbath begin,

The queen was returned yet disaster they learned,

Flee to Lancelot's lands the Siege of Benwick turned,

Arthur laid the lands to terror and Lancelot allowed tremor,

A challenge by Gawain resulted in mortal wound,

News from Camelot Mordred usurped the throne,

Sail to Dover yet Gawain's wound not recover,

On his deathbed he lay with blood letter pray,

Beseech Lancelot come to your liege's aid,

For if you don't he will surely be slayed,

On eve of battle Gawain's ghost came to Arthur,

Hold my lord sue for peace no matter what afford,

Arthur agreed and next day peace could succeed,

On the fields of Camlann the armies of men,

Unknown soldier unsheathe weapon the doom reckon,

Bedivere and Lucas the only ones left,

Arthur saw Mordred alone his support bereft,

No my lord stay your sword wait for Lancelot accord,

A chance not to miss Arthur rushed Mordred high risk,

Impaled violent spear Mordred felt death drawing near,

Bloody hand gripped lance drew closer advance,

Mordred's dying act held sword both hands to attack,

A grievous cleave through Arthur's helmet reave,

Lucas and Bedivere struggled to carry him,

Yet Lucas fell dead his wounds had maimed limb,

Take my sword trusted Bedivere cast it into lake,

The jewels so precious the blade could not forsake,

Tell me what you saw as you threw Excalibur,

Nothing but the ripples of water after,

You must do as I say cast the sword away,

This time did as wished and a silken hand grasped,

It swung the sword to and fro complete task,

It is said that Arthur was taken to Avalon,

To return one day our time of need we rely upon

Fork

Whenever it's not enough a fork you reach,

This road divided ignore lessons that teach,

One side is content truly indifferent,

The other insatiable logic is malleable,

Twisted direction misleads bad section,

Course correction by some and others by force,

For when you finally decide it's often from pride,

Blinded choice for will's deafening voice,

Take heed once opened this box will succeed,

Unravel the mystery it yearns to be freed,

And even if the truth is hard to swallow,

It can't be closed no mercy to borrow,

Are you prepared for what lies ahead,

A path of broken glass or glistening tread,

Choose wisely see the big picture,

Adding too much will spoil the mixture,

Blended well the flavor excel,

If soured the taste truly repel,

Long after the vote has been cast,

A stray thought exists from the past,

When I first saw this road did I do right,

Answered simply of course if I used insight

Give Thanks

Gather family for joyous feast,

Indulge in thanks and not the least,

Spare no expense and let's commence,

First the turkey we cook with pride,

Oven baked but have you tried deep fried,

Don't forget potatoes take care to make those,

Mash them right add bacon to delight,

Let's add some stuffing to gather steam,

Keep this train going of gravy I mean,

Sweet potatoes or yams taste delicious,

Add some marshmallows bland you won't miss,

Baking bread or store bought,

Whatever the case essential we got,

The sauce of cranberry so tart must slice,

You forgot the pie no no that won't suffice,

Oh a joke how funny dutch apple with crumby,

Or pumpkin later on but I prefer pecan,

Topped with ice cream truly a dream,

Next day left-overs are a treat,

Because we didn't have to cook strenuous feat,

And for lunch let's make a sandwich,

That turkey tastes so good flavor so rich,

Oh it's finished is that what you say,

I guess I'll have to wait for next Thanksgiving Day

Green

Perfect pieces fill the creases,

Fold the puzzle never ceases,

Machine made efficient gas pumping,

Toxic waste pollute by dumping,

Harness the fire what a start,

Murder nature not so smart,

Empty mission to survive ambition,

Strive for glory build hundredth story,

Feel the earth tremble and tremor,

Think its better yet torn by letter,

Siphon our food from the mother of good,

Drain her life to sustain our strife,

Then we question why skin burns oceans rise,

What did we do to deserve fated demise,

The plants they laugh and the trees stare,

We were first and we gave mother care,

She gave us life and we cherished it dear,

Took what we needed to exist no excess here,

No material possession only food nutrition,

Our brothers the wild they kill as their style,

To feed their young the circle live among,

They own no jewels they would think for fools,

Digging out her flesh to garnish our necks respect,

And now the sky falls you have surely doomed us all,

The peaceful trees now burn to ashes,

All wild life dies to famine shelter crashes,

Our soil is dry no water to drink we must die,

Wither and fade like your revolution industrial,

Climax of technology only led more catastrophe,

And still you wonder why your home is destroyed,

Because you forgot her home which is now a void
