White Paper

White Paper

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Do you know what is being said

What they write about you

Lies, truths, and whatever they want

And those papers never leave

Kept by an uncaring bureaucracy

Used whenever they want

Those papers are so dangerous

Giving papercuts without us knowing

Cutting skin, veins, and arteries

Letting us bleed to death

And you know they are laughing as we do

Endless Blaze

Endless Blaze

By Lord R.e. Taylor

The fires burn just over the horizon

Turning the air grey with blowing smoke

Making the clouds glow like amber

It is truly a terrifying sight to see

But it also has a beauty that has to be admired

You may pray for the people and animals

Losing their homes, they need all of our help

They are all just trying to survive the worst

Not even trying to thrive in their hell

Please give them your blessing

And help them return to their everyday lives

That would be the best thing we can do

Another October 7th

Another October 7th

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Another year

The war continues 

More and more people die

And more and more people do

The fighting goes on

Without an end in sight

But the victims are becoming victors

Still fighting the best fight they can

Protecting their land and people

But this war will never end

Evilness will not allow it

They enjoy the death too much

Watch What You Write

Watch What You Write

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I do not know what to write

I have the words lined up

They really are good words

But I do not want to be in trouble

Saying something that will get someone mad

Maybe use a word that hurts their feelings

My mom may have been right

If you cannot say anything nice

Do not say anything at all

So from now on, I will write about smiles

Cute little puppy dogs and wildflowers

No one will ever get mad or cry

And I will never have to delete another great poem

Dreaming Of Snow

Dreaming Of Snow

By Lord R.e. Taylor

It may sound really silly

I have not seen snow for so long

it is just a single memory

Fading with every new year

Yes, I do dream of the icy air

The beauty of the snowflakes

Dancing across a window in my thoughts

Icicles look like strings of diamonds

I feel the chill even if the room is warm

Imagination can do wonderful things

Creating a paradise could hardly be any better

If only I could build a snowman

Then the paradise would be perfect

Oz’s Deadliest

Oz’s Deadliest

By Lord R.e. Taylor

I cannot believe the stories here

Spiders bigger than your hand

Snakes that hunt you

Birds that will break your head

And dogs who eat whatever they find

Not to mention the sharks and jellyfish

They will kill you without you seeing them

So what can a normal person do

Well, you can never be careful enough

You can stay hiding in your house

Only go places with nice, thick roofs

Or move to Iceland

It may be cold, but at least you’d be safe

The Lantern’s Light

The Lantern’s Light

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You really cannot imagine

The joy I get coming around the bend

Just seeing the glow from that lantern

That one thing tell me life is good

Life has not forsaken me

And my home is closer than it has been

So many lonely nights and empty dreams

Have lead to the beauty I am seeing now

And knowing you are behind that door

It will keep my heart beating and my soul waiting

Just to once again hold you in my arms

Tell you that I do love you

And that I will always be yours alone

All that from the light of just one lantern

A lantern which means life and love

Maybe making a lonely man smile

And never want to leave home again
