Know your place, boy, continued

Slandered by falsehoods, vilified by slurs of hypocrisy
Principled, unbroken, white flag never surrended
Authentic integrity, merciful tenacity, void of cruelty

Chain of command pontificated wanton reprimand
Competence worn, titled emboldened on badge
Fingers pointed by snitches, telling empty tales on quicksand

Actions spoke volumes, no one injured, no need to justify
Morals manifested without hesitation amid perpetual strife
Apathetic toward flagrant lies told by shit eating horseflies

Enraged by no reaction from gratuitous allegations
Despite the situation, adhere to rank, to a immovable caste
Don’t astray, safety not a duty, an obligation

Wits polished, trained for a one-sided dogfight
Words slung raw, dripped with substance, yolk
Unmoved, fearless, unswayed truth of hindsight

Actions right or wrong, bow and grovel, beseech forgiveness
Follow, revere, embrace despotic authority
No deliverance, disciplinary wicked, grim vileness

Intelligence enveloped in compassionate might
Muscles flexed tight, silver tongue unleashed
Beliefs steeled, abhorrent to conventional plight

Slights, barbs, character assassinations proved futile
Stepped back, hands fisted, hollow valor
Threats of termination hissed off a fork-tongued reptile

Level of empathy and compassion exposed
Leadership, domination, commands unheeded
Shallow, conscienceless, inhumanity opposed

Pressured speech, white-knuckled, mouth foamed
Reminded of status, less than, a pauper, a peasant
Face reddened, eye-brow furrowed, respect the throne


to be continued...

Know your place, boy....

Empty tales told by snitches, foundation built on quicksand
Tyranny worn on superior's sleeve, titled emblazed on badge
Chain of command pontificated wanton reprimand

Actions spoke volumes, no one injured, no need to justify
Morals manifested without hesitation amid perpetual strife
Apathetic toward flagrant lies spread by shit eating horseflies

Enraged by no reaction from gratuitous allegations
Despite the situation, adhere to rank, an unassailable caste
Don’t astray, safety not a duty, an obligation

Wits polished, well armed, unfazed by one-sided dogfights
Words slung raw, dripped with substance, fresh yolk
Unmoved, fearless, confident with the truth of hindsight

Right or wrong, bow and grovel, beseech forgiveness
Unilateral decisions not authorized, despotic authority reigns
No deliverance, punishment wicked, unthinkable vileness

Intelligence enveloped in valor, coupled in might
Muscles flexed, silver tongue unleashed
Beliefs steeled, abhorrent to conventional plight

Slights, barbs, character assassinations proved futile
Stepped back, hands fisted, hollow valor
Threats of termination hissed off a fork-tongued reptile

Devoid of empathy and compassionless gluttony exposed
Leadership, domination, commands unheeded
Shallow, conscienceless, inhumanity opposed

Pressured speech, white-knuckled, mouth foamed
Reminded of status, less than, a pauper, a peasant
Face reddened, eye-brows furrowed, respect the throne

Slandered by falsehoods, vilified by slurs of hypocrisy
Principled, unbroken, reflected, paused, surrender is comical
Authentic integrity, merciful tenacity, rebuttal void of cruelty

Compromise laughable, steadfast stonewalled
Quarrel shackled to stagnation, a lose-lose draw
Status quo preserved, ranks fixed, progress stalled

Dead Heart

A lake of love invalidated rippled

An eviscerated heart skipped

Slow sinkage, icy water dyed red

Electrical charge fumbled

Rescue never intended

Four chambers choked, silenced

Bottom feeders frenzied

Morsels of love lost digested

A wicked lover's revenge manifested
