A Good Person

Am I a good person only if I think good thoughts?

Am I a good person only  if I do good deeds?

Am I a good person if only I know

What I think, what I do?

Really, it doesn't matter.

Every day

We all weigh our own souls.

Don't trust the sanctimonious

Who use their 'goodness' as a weapon

To bludgeon and bemuse.

Their wanting leaks through the gaps.

It's easy.

First do no harm.

It's not rocket science.

Am I a good person?

Who's to say.

Murderer

I killed them all.
Every last one.
Dead.
A short, twitching affair.
Ghostly pale
I watched them die,
Too numerous to count.

Am I a monster?

A whole colony
Wiped out.

A nippon death
Delivered by
A woman in a mask with
A shaking hand.

But they shouldn't
Have swarmed.
Not in my kitchen.
Not on my walls.

Am I a monster?

No.

I just really, really don't like ants
IN MY HOUSE!!!!

I'll take my guilt
And bury it.

Like the ants......

Dennis

Really Dennis

Don't play tennis,

You're a menace

With a racquet;

When the umpire

Says 'it's out'

It doesn't matter

If you whack it.

Don't loose your 

Temper, 

And stop swearing,

They don't like

It on the green;

Keep your

Pants on Dennis

Really,

You're becoming 

Quite obscene.

So perhaps

You need to find 

A game

That's easier to play,

Dennis really,

Don't play tennis

Put

That baseball bat

Away!!

A Quiet Life

A lifetime of quiet resentments

Paved the way

To red mist driven,

Steely sharp

Slashing, slashing madness.

If only she had told someone.

If only she had let it out.

If only he had let her breathe,

Let her believe; believed in her

Just a tiny, tiny bit.

But his overbearing arrogance

Made him a wife full of tiny holes,

Filled full of ire, 

A raging soul 

Behind her perfect, placid smile.

She waits for them

To come and take her away, 

Quiet and red.

The woman that never fought back,

Never murmered, 

All in persuit of a quiet life.

Fruity

She had the skin of a raisin,
And the body
Of a peardrop.

She should have given them back.
