Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

Be the Clown

Be the clown,go on, turn the world upside down.
Be the one, who never thinks deeply or on humanity frowns.

Be above it all, hide your heart all you can.
You, who are so superior to the feelings of the family of man.

Be strong, grind your teeth.
Hide from the fact that one day,you, too,will be under ground with a wreath.

Be sure to hide your genuine feelings!
If open, the crowd, or those you love most, will avoid you or send you reeling.

We whine about personal, irrelavent illnesses to the sky!
It's the thing to do, I don't get here thrill of it, should I?

The world is crushing me, is all I do know.
A planet filled with fear, as our hair turns the color of snow.

A life filled with living on devices, is, utterinsanity.
Where there are no voices.
Just a motherboard of humanity.

Deep love is heard like the crashing of windows.
Turn the other way from the heart of man, that is where
tenderness blows?

There are those with hearts as warm as a fireplace.
Gather round them soon, they are the remnants of the human race.

Joseph P. DiMino September 30, 2021 at 6:13 PM Congratulations on POD! Pangie, a lot wrong with the direction of the nation, and the way the hearts of its citizen are going. Soros, Obama, Bidden, Pelosi, and so on -- evil lunatics. Another 80,000 heading toward our Southern Border to cross illegally into the country. Texas needs to use the National Guard of Texas to Close border. If Feds try to interfere, wanting to exercise their rightful control of the guard, there will be a problem.

Joseph P. DiMino September 21, 2021 at 6:36 AM Oh wow! Another POTD! You are on a well deserved roll. But you are not kidding around with your Be A Clown poem -- serious, good advice to live by. Saw somewhere on the internet a funeral, where the dead guy had made a hilarious recording he requested placed in his coffin, that was triggered when the box lowered in the ground: "Let me out!" it went on. Panagiota Romios September 22, 2021 at 7:56 AM Hi Prince de Mino. Thank you for stopping in and saying nice things, no I was not kidding. We are going to have more dead with no war from you know what. Bone heads! Inject children? Why not kill them. New babies cannot be born in hospitals? No vaxx, no delivery? Do we live in the Russia or China? Poets here convince sick poets to get poisoned? They are not doctors. Just bossy, obnoxious know it all’s. That is between an MD and her doctor. And choice, many here do not believe in choice..but will demand abortion on demand, crazily? Panagiota

I don't know the adjective to describe this, I call it like I see it.Thats's all. Today, Saturday, the drumbeat of the virus here is loud. Example. Test for Covid does not mean you have it. It does mean you were exposed to it.more lockdowns mean more death, I am sure I already wrote about this.thank you for Congratulating me.....PANGIE..xx Man's inhumanity to man goes on. I am one who will say it. Humans do not like that. Denial of the present is the game.

Jennifer Fenn July 2, 2021 at 11:43 AM Wow! All too often, those we think are happiest are the saddest of all. Thank you for addressing that in this powerful poem! It truly deserves POTD. Congrats! Panagiota Romios July 2, 2021 at 1:31 PM Jennifer...hope your day is magical. I did not know this poem would be that powerful. Lot easier to pen about the night sky or animals. But that bores me. It does not touch the soul. Subject matter I covered. Who wants poetry that? It's a questioning poem I guess. I was so hesitant to post this, It's anything but light reading. Reall, true friends keep the world work. Impressing others? Cold as ice, hope I made sense. Please visit my other poems. Thank you for the good wishes, same to you! Pangie xx

Paula Goldsmith July 1, 2021 at 2:08 PM WOW!!! What a story/write. I never have and I never will understand people. God must be sad. Have a blessed day.................... Panagiota Romios July 2, 2021 at 5:44 AM Paula! I never will either! Some Christians think we are in tbe end times. Others think...it is not bad enough! If I were God, I'd just end it.throw the evil into Hades and take the good to heaven.stay away from people unaware of what's going on. Read the Bible daily. News is untrue? Only trustable channel is Newsmax. Free shows via Newsnax APP, they don't dwell on negativity nor hating America. Pangie xx
