Hold on…

As I wage war on myself time strikes noon,
She on the horizon vividly watches this doom…

I cried for her help to stop this raging war,
Nothing from within could dismantle this sore…

All the pain from this insane vein from the lame,
Sorry to say that you really never had a brain…

The tyrant of her war has left that shore,
She will one day realize you were the ❌hore

Aquire nothing at this feat,
Surely I know this will be beat…

I think it will be beat too!

S+F Triple, loving the poetic analogy!

a reply to: Mendix

Yes my friend! For sure beat soon!

a reply to: Triple333

Interesting one, Triple333. First thing that came to mind is The Whore of Babylon.

Aquire nothing at this feat,
Surely I know this will be beat…

A Pyrrhic victory

and so we fight phantoms
we think are real foes
spending our life's energy
on what turns out to be hoes.
----------

And since I see the word beat, blast from the past:

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix,
Angel-headed hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,

-Ginsberg, Howl

A bit depressed I be
at all this meaningless
fighting I see.

I did have a dream though in which the name Maher Shalal Hash Baz figured quite prominently.
It means "Hurry to the spoils!" or "He has made haste to the plunder!"

Is someone trying to steal our work or is it to steal our desire to write works.

You have a fine talent and are very much the poet Full Heathen. I have described myself in the past as a pretend poet. Meaning of course I know the difference between poetry and rhymes.

My attempts at rhymes really stem from my song writing days. Very different when songs can hang on to a word or repeat lyrics.

I'd give you a flag but a star is all I have here.
