Accusations Poems

Let it be before I go from where I've seen moons after moons,
crescent and full; let memories carve yellow suns on the 
dark-skinned children, polishing them with sweat and sea salt 
to surface their natural oils. Let me see them...Read More

I am tired of the denial
Refusal to face the facts
Not learning from doctor’s reports
Not listening, so that we can plan
What is happening is unfolding,
All around us every day
No matter how it’s minimized,
The virus will have its say
Truth will emerge beyond,
Anyone’s...Read More

When I look into a pool and sense my noble bearing
    in a reflection meant to dazzle and impress.
I see a gentle fellow imbued with love and caring
    whose need for adoration has been...Read More

A clenched fist rose in the air filled with chants and gun smoke
All across Africa we marched and our spirits never broke
The power of fingers clenched in a fist cracked walls of discrimination
Then oil unclenched the fingers and we started...Read More

Did you watch it, what a show
Little Mikey slammed around,
Battered slowly blow by blow
With accusations that astound.

Pocahontas on the war path,
She’s the one that wields the axe,
Indignation, poisoned wrath
Her solutions just more tax.

Crazy Bernie full of zeal
Flaring nostrils squinting eyes,
Somewhat...Read More

When you see someone bettering themselves.
Sometimes you need to swallow your pride and put your ego on a shelf.
You may not like a person's decision.
Their goals are not what is in your vision.

You dont have the right to control what...Read More

Stuck in a state of isolate
I started to hate my mates
starting to think the one who’s great 
cared fake to investigate

Their Paranoia and accusations 
lacking logic showing clear frustration 
I’m annoyed and asking directions 
having answers questioned 

They were clearly...Read More

The blindfold slips away under currents of corrosive tears

	Shadows line myopic eyes in blistering haze

Cataracts melt sightless accusations and brooding incisions

	A flickering candle waxes and wanes the stare

Monosyllabic lines dance repetitions in the moribund chorus

	Sound out how far boundaries of...Read More

Gaslighting

Your words are etched deep into my skin,
They must have hurt, these scars,
But you told me they were beautiful, 
And I believed you.

Your accusations have ripped my flesh in,
My brain and heart, are stored in your jars,
But you said I...Read More

Just because I create does not mean I feel I’m God!
That’s an atrocity of men, who wish to be in charge
Not women, who for ages have seethed beneath
the accusations of men accusing Eve, tempted by a snake
so magical, it talks!...Read More

ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
 
All the karmic forces came in and, settled themselves down upon the fence
As the two parties arrived; with their arms full, of their grounds of defence

The learned judge cleaned his glasses and yawns; he’s seen...Read More

Crescendo Against Heaven
by Michael R. Burch

As curiously formal as the rose,
the imperious Word grows
until its sheds red-gilded leaves:
then heaven grieves
love’s tiny pool of crimson recrimination
against God, its contention
of the price of salvation.

These industrious trees,
endlessly losing and re-losing their leaves,
finally unleashing...Read More

Being a professional listener has its perk
Sometimes I hear both sides and I am astounded.
They both portray the other one as a big jerk.
All of their accusations are pretty unfounded.

I listen and I nod, being insanely nice.
These are consenting adults,...Read More

There was a brave hero who saw the true colors of the world
He sat there in disbelief, disgusted at what he saw
The bright knight in shining armor who was renowned as a hero became the villain in his own story
He...Read More

Who are the people behind the glass?
Men and women talking smack;
Running down our way of life;
Creating dissent and causing strife;
They fill the airways with false facts;
Twisting news and spinning notions;
Seeking to find a magic potion;
To undue the results of an...Read More

Even in darkness,
when a moonless sky
preaches fear from a pulpit of shadows
pointing elongated fingers…

when walls crumble 
into a rubble strewn alleyway
and graffiti issues spray paint threats
on frantic facades dripping sabotage…

and kindness remains 
hidden away in sealed envelopes,
unaddressed and undelivered,
discarded in...Read More

          Love hug 

 Milk by mother 
 Fighting for first breath 
No image how I look 
 No strength to take steps 
First kiss by her a warm happiness 
Bye...Read More

Stubbed my toe

Here I stand a little over two-thousand years later.
The worlds are not the same, coming from the creator.
One ritually set to hold fast,
the other has forgotten the laws of the past.

I look about entranced into the wonder of...Read More

Another democracy 
where the people get to speak 
has just had an election 
A bitter, bruising battle 
with accusations of 
corruption and cowardice 
have filled the air 
I live in the good old USA 
Where we are also 
gearing up...Read More

THE REPLY FROM THE PRESENT TO THE PAST
            (NO TO XENOPHOBIA II) 
With the paper on my hand 
I wondered what to do as I stood confused
Welcome home,
O my...Read More

In the darkest night
Surrounded by the creeping cold 
I sit in silence  and I contemplate
How my lifes story should be told
I know I'm not a perfect soul
There's events I wish I  could change
I've loved and lost so many times
And swallowed...Read More

Waiting, intently attempting to hold my breath,
Subtlety fragrant, dreadful an impression as coined,
The time that I have been awarded, lapsed yet conjoined
Oh, duality of loneliness and odious memories
I’ve been trying to delete you from the foundation of this suite,
Or, ever...Read More

Lonely gazes glumly at the world that bustles by, 
from the tinted windows of her heart, 
where no one sees her cry.

"Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink..." 
They're close in their proximity, 
but not in how they...Read More

Honesty
By: Miracle Man
8/7/2019

When things go awry,
It’s man’s nature to place blame.
Accusations and innuendos,
Become the name of the game.

While ignoring the shortcomings,
In our own persona.
We explore our list of prospects,
Seeking out our next Jonah.

But when good things happen,
Pertinent facts we’ll edit.
Doing...Read More

...After twenty minutes of this
Pat turned, and he made for land,
steering Champy to a boat-launch
where countless onlookers did stand.

People all got out of the way
when the beast swam up on the ramp,
Pat pulled out the hook, patted the beast,
and said...Read More
