Rabid Hyena
Disgusting, ravenous creature,
hungry for a meal.
Thoughtless, it hunts and mains
it's weak and defenseless kill.
The murderous creature
with no intelligent thought
moves on instinct as it bears it's fangs
and growls and howls and barks.
It resembles a mangy dog...
what an uncanny resemblance!
Though I wouldn't pet it.
This is how it traps you - with fake innocence,
and clandestine lust.
Beware, lonely, caring, naive soul, it will soon betray your trust.
It's fur covers it's soft, recreant body,
defenseless without flashy armor,
it's insecurities like fleas
that ravage it's helpless skin.
Weaker creatures, filled with fear,
every single time the night draws near,
helpless creatures, anger grows,
fleeing from the predator's nose.
This domestic forest,
in which the monster sadistically
murders its prey,
grows more dangerous each day.
Even when you escape,
the nightmares stay -
a silver fanged beast
that desperately tears away
all hope and joy. Every. Single. Day.
But one day a hunter will come along,
with a dangerous weapon,
perhaps a gun,
and in a brilliant moment of destiny and retribution,
shall,
at the end of the day,
end the sorrows of the both the beast and the forest,
preferably in a brutal and merciless way.

Poetry: Step-fathers
By flesh you are not really mine,
But in my heart, you'll surely find,
A place for you forever more,
though I wasn't there
The years have passed, since the day, your mom and I first met.
I took a chance, at one first glance, that this was heaven

Hey there Joseph,
Can I ask you a question?
Do you realize how
you were an inspiration
Showing you can raise
