PHIL ANSELMO – Writes The Retired Journeyman Poem For Boxinginsider.Com
 Police on Monday evening were looking for two juveniles seen running from a truck in which a man was found shot in the head in north Fort Worth.

KING DIAMOND – Issues Update

Posted in&nbspMETAL NEWS | January 26, 2009 No comments A trained; composed; skilled fist
can strike out at an opponent for only so long
before it connects directly into the hearts of loved ones closest.
A pugilistic dementia reaction of habit
with a system in slow motion.
Done by thirty-three
and bitter about it.
What could have been!
Not a single promise kept.
No limelight.
Golden gloves trophies, colorless ribbons
and lost timelines…
gather dust
next to a stack of unopened mail;
forgotten for months.
Or years.
Bloodstains on a battle tested brain.
A warrior
fed back to the cruel streets unwanted and
left to cope alone
with predictable failure lying await in ambush
ticking like a time bomb inside of himself.
Whether it be nerve-damaged ticks
violent, abrupt outbursts
fists through framed family photos
or bottom shelf tequila—
this man is but a ...
