So Easy To Hurt Me
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
How do you find it so easy to hurt me...
When I do everything that you ever ask...
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you...
Not even the most impossible task...
Is it because you take me for granted...
Have I allowed you to play me the fool...
Is it because you truly disrespect me...
Is that why you treat me so cruel...

Broken Promises
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
What happened to us...
My dear sweet girl...
You wanted a ring...
With a diamond and pearl...
You said you always...
Wanted to be my wife...
That you would love us...
Now and throughout our life...

All's Fair in Covert Fuckery
by Frangipani Rhett
Something must be wrong with me
To make me care about a man
Who can't take the time to reply to me
Or simply give a damn
I can only make assumptions
At this point I'm less upset
That he only wanted to fuck me
But too bad for him, I'm not done yet

memory's bitch
by Grace McDonough
Memory is a sick lie
A joke
We choke on
Collectively
Memory is rose gold
Damp with mold
Stretched thin and wide
It fills me with hope

Lies
by Heather McBride
govt system got you locked in a prison
with no vision
blindfolded ignorance
got you warped in a trance
people are like sheep with no shepherd
walking round with no direction
the govt is not showing all the cards
got the world believing politicians have hearts
meanwhile the world is at odds
pay no attention to the man behind a curtain

The Mindless Herd
by Igor Vykhovanets
We just chatter, fools in line,
Chasing women, feeling fine.
Let the world be bleak and hollow—
Winning hearts is all we follow.

Deines Versprechens Schatten
by Mario Odekerken
Deines Versprechens Gewicht
liegt leer in meiner Hand.
Kein Echo in der Luft,
nur Stille,die such ausbreitet.
Ich wartete auf Richtung,
doch bekam nur Kreise.
Deine Worte-schön verpackt,
aber ohne Inhalt.

Twisted Tongue
by Mario Odekerken
Words gather like stormclouds
behind my teeth,
eager to leap,
but stumble in the rush.
My tongue,
a contorionist in a narrow cage,
turns truth into tangled thread,
pulls silence from syllables.

Ewig lebt die Wahrheit
by Mario Odekerken
Die Wahrheit wohnt in stillen Räumen,
vergraben tief in Herz und Geist.
Sie lebt,auch wenn der Mensch sie preist
mit Worten,die nur Lügen säumen.
Sie ist kein Schwert,sie ist kein Schild,
sie braucht kein Heer,kein lautes Schreien.
Inmitten Trug und dunklem Treiben
ist sie das Licht,das niemals schwillt.

Sodom and Snakes
by Christine Kuruvilla
Vicious lies,
Faded by time,
Exist like green, scaled reptiles—
Slithering through camouflaged crime.
Etched in smoked veins,
Daggered through pink fold,
Leaving blemishes and stains,
And a soul wagered and sold.
