 All a man does, Is but of fear, Tarry noble judge, Hasten not to oppose, Hear my case first,to wisely judge. We labour, From fear of hunger, We fight, Because defeat we fear, We passionately love, Because we fear loneliness of heart, We worship, Because we fear a meaningless existence, We judge fairly, Because we fear injustice, We enjoy our present, Because we fear it's temporary. My point,to close,noble judge, Fear is the impetus, behind our every act, What's your verdict now?

 cunning as made, scared him not, when crossing the river, the logs alive close in, brown eyes above water, scales shining in the sun, as the steathy mother croc, dinner calling approaches, then in a flash, it snapped it's jaws shut, and fancy's knell sounded, as death in swift wings, swooped to claim it's due, and the warrior ended, bold to the end.

 He lived fearless, Took glory in danger, Never retreated..hesitated, The challenger notwithstanding, Beast of the wild, Burning in hunger, Growls in delight, The prey at close, Braveheart shudders not, Even as the lion, Eyes mean and fangs evil, Pounces for the kill, Forward he rushes, To tumble with the beast, To whatever end.

 When the hours, Finally pass, When the days, At last are close, When the winds, Finally blow, I shall be at ease.

 Words, words They are sweet like candy And stretch like taffy From your mouth to my ear I push my worries to the rear Until I find out What they were truly about Words, words I am whole, not a fraction No meaning without action. Words, words They are a bitter lemon To my soul, a mindless felon Disguised in its intent You’re insecure, without precedent Until I find out What they were truly about Words, words The anger you feel is of thy self Cut off that tongue, place it on the shelf. Words, words They are a midnight storm My mind shift from the norm And so I hide in the shadows A playful day? No, I do not belong in the meadows Until I find out What they were truly about Words, words Mind my inner speech, for my inner self is always listening As she’s carves through the stones in search of a diamond, Glistening. Words, words They are a calm sunny day I wake up and hear the birds’ joyful play As the sun ushers in the morning Away with my mourning Until I find out What they were truly ab

This is my purple moment, The hour of my triumph, An instant of a king exalted, The crowning of my pursuit, When i taste the prize, In my deligent labour, of grand effort my goal to attain, A look at the past, I see the myriad strungles, An imge desperate, It's a potrit of sin! The greatness of my present dawns, What a beauty my achievement! My joy is an old vintage, Poured into a delicate glass, Allow me to relish my drink, In gulps for sips, As befits my famous moment, I lick at my victory, With my tongue to taste it, And the taste,hear o world, Is glorious!
