Quotes about belligerent, page 3
The Stench Of Demise
The sea of silence rise tonight
its wind grinded its teeth,
the water froths saline voices,
and its claw gnawed on the seams
sibilantly stropping, aggressively stimulating
the dislimned threshold of my being
The warehouse opened with rage
and it feigned no resistance
It propelled its gust on the shadows
masquerading my abashed reflection
and exhumed the gravid tolls of time
Nothing in the song of mockingbirds
beckoned the bereft of afternoons
but the veil is lifted from its charade
and here, the archenemy stood before me
staring daggers of guilt and naivety
and outgrowing my young senescence

That Time Has Been Found
No one will ever be praised,
For being outspoken...
Or giving an honest assessment.
That strips away all pretense.
Not in places,
Where people become embarrassed...
And take offense to them given.
People show their reaction,
By becoming irate and belligerent.
And for whatever the reason,
In these same places...
People will come together,
In planned meetings to discuss...
Their disgust with the downslide,
Of their once valued quality of life.
And will argue amongst themselves,
About no one caring enough to speak up.
Or express their concerns from their gut!

Birthday Presents
Mine Beloved's birthday
shrinking feeling tad bit guilty
ours a tentative pencil arrangement
circumstantial conditions affording
and you radiant as ever
sun dress gleam-beam brilliant beauty
clearest light flood Julian day
sublimest nightshade
draw blind sway way
double-wrapped present presents
privy dreamy dusk musky perfume play
and how you never cease
confound astound me
beauteous beneficent baffling being

Mother
In her womb she carried her child nine months,
Bliss and joy he brought forth.
Satiate her a ray of hope in newborn eyes,
She bosomed her gracile in first cry;
Nurtured, fostered and fledged.
He grew up a young lad,
Belligerent and wasteful he turned,
Scathe her emotions and physical,
Never heed mother's wist.
deplore her for damsel beauty,
Abandoned and ill he felt;
whence mother's forbearing love aided.
Spued blood for months,
And in no hope of survival,
Mother's earnest prayer and supplication convalesce him,
Lackadaisical and Impenitent natured,
By and by he erst,
Wend the lady who abased him his manhood;
His love forsook,
His last days embodied in insobriety.

This Is What You Chose and Wanted
Where are those,
Pure of heart.
Loving of justice.
Courageous and brave.
Upright and wholesome.
Devoted, loyal and honest.
Caring and sharing of good deeds.
Where are these people?
What has happened to them,
And their influences missed?
Where do they hide?
Do they still exist?
'Of course they 'still' exist.
They are the ones you got rid of!
Don't you remember this?
They are the ones who attempted to prevent...
Your current agonies.
With the rise of misfits.

Let's Sheath The Swords
Misty fog convulsed in the sky.
All land is coloured red
Given birth by hatred.
Innocent carcases littered the streets
Oozing out horrid smell.
Birds perches on birds
Of the same flocks
Vultures now swallow each other
Lions prey on lions
Oddities reign in all nations.
Help! all hands are stained
Like a butcher.
Races are dagger drawn
Brothers maim brothers
Belligerent tribes strike each other
Blood flows like the hurricane
Our white garment is stained.
Mistrust, mistrust, Mistrust everywhere.

So Where Have You Been
As his legal guardian...
And at least fifty percent of the time,
I can say...
I recognized him on the streets.
I have come to defend his belligerent behavior.
Your 'honorship'...
We all know boys will be boys.
And we do the best we can,
To raise them to be irresponsible
And thoughtless.
Butchy D is no different.
I taught him the ropes.
Trained him myself...
To be conniving as possible.
He is not at fault here!
~Then who is?
Who is accountable for his misdeeds?

Refusing To Instill An Obedience
A belligerent disposition,
Does not overnight occur or begin.
It has been fostered and condoned in doses.
And began as something noticed,
Regarded as cute!
Especially bestowed upon 'precious' and precocious...
Sweet and adorable manipulative children!
'You are too strict on your children.
All children that age display stubborn independence.'
~I don't consider talking back, throwing tantrums...
In a public display to get their way.
I will spoil them to a certain point.
But a listening to me will be done!
And,
They 'will' obey!
How you raise 'your' children...
Is not how mine will be raised.
In other words...

Odyssey
Proud admirals
dressed as belligerent
soldiers of the
platoon of defiance,
assailed to the torrents
in the stygian abyss -
a vertical horizon
between the albatross' wings
The unconquered expanse
instilling lamentations
in the rain's
vapidly prancing winds,
dreaming of a place
where the weather
used to reside
like a lazy sun
tucked with a pistol
under his mattress

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
I am a ravaging glutton,
In perfect equilibrium,
With the great wide open,
Her highness, the limitless atmosphere,
Her ally in the zeniths of battle,
Against the greenhouse dragons that rage fire,
From the deepest of gorges;
To resurrect the temperatures,
To unforeseen heights, scales that rock towards,
The heavens as the greenhouse monsters,
Raze the harmonious islanders,
Maldivians, Kiribatians even the Chagos islanders,
As they scamper to mounds or hillocks;
Or seek greener pastures,
In the emerald coatings of Botany Bay;
Yet I exist, the nemesis of greenhouse monsters,
Gobbling up tides of gigantic vapors,
Through my stromata, my sensuous lips,
That scan the vast opens for a passionate lock,
To scavenge cowardly dragons that exhale fire;
