Callous Clappers

Actualised worst nightmare
demonic monsters
chewing at bones bare
bestiary accounts of evil mobsters.

Aces at grave robbing
compulsion for old secrets to dissect
a bony monument to erect
keep their black hole hearts throbbing.

Iblis sired a fiendish clan
buzzing jinns with forked tongues
toxic scourges realms span
ghouls with blether fill their lungs.

Diggers at the soul plane's cemetery
where people skeletons of the past bury
gossipy ghouls pinpoint the stench
headstones they break
ossified cartilage they wrench
on holders' minds havoc wreak.

Cackle of macabre delight
bloodcurdling screeches in the night
sounds of chattery tongues gnashing
bones to dust crushing
boneless slugs of the mouths, however,
as sharp as teeth they dissever.

Sticks and stones
might break the bones
but words alone
of slightest condescending tone
can crumble thrones.

As vulgarity of hearsay sets empire
forced are the subjects
they change into cannibal attire
if anyone objects 
gossip orders an off-with-their-heads.

Evil eye of prattle
- fighter wears an amulet -
serpentine clappers rattle
- soldier holds back sorrow's rivulet -
a nerve-wracking battle
- knight takes up the gauntlet.

For raising spirits
block out the lies
strive for merits
cut down the slanderous ties.

Deserving every happiness
mind not their haughtiness
this is your precious life
wash clean the putty knife
awesome individual
owner of an honest heart original.

Gossipy ghouls brave in groups
whiners when alone
afraid to jump through hellfire hoops
and tossers to the bone
to mordancy of their bile susceptible
signs of remorse though imperceptible.

Beware of smiles with lurking teeth
for they can tear the throat 
through whom you breathe
loaded fleers imitate a moat
once fake grins overflow
try to stay afloat
by clinging on to hope and row.

Stay healthy, proud and strong
do not let anyone pull your strings
keep away from the wrong throng
do not let them break your wings
nobody can evaluate your self-worth
you dictate your own with grit
remember you are a rare earth
invaluable element not counterfeit.

Nature is a jungle
the incompetent from trees dangle
subtle prompt that gloves are off  
it is survival of the fittest
therefore the weak scoff
terrorised by the brightest
whatever unreachable to the swanky
jealousy passes it to the monkey.

Victim get efficiently busy
hold your head high
don't get inebriated with the fizzy 
the limit is the sky
or critics will make you dizzy
rivals your place in the sun will descry
theft was never made that easy.

Idle talk is cheap
harmless as a barking dog
who will not even bite a log
far in life will go the dweeb
who is meek and mild 
on occasion runs wild
fears not the enemy who attacks
but the fake friend who backstabs.

Better off with eyes gouged out
than with reputation in doubt
reason enough calumny to tip your tongue 
into your brain pulp before you speak
spreading rumours a practice wrong
start talking straight not oblique
never level others with the ground
life is a wheel going round and round
might be the next to run aground.
