Barbarous Poems | Examples

Immodest Proposal

It might be an absurd idea
But we need to move on from here
Stalled in the darkness
With no moral compass
To guide us into the clear
 
It might be a ridiculous notion
But we can’t just float on this ocean
For the Scylla and Charybdis
With no light of forgiveness
To warn against the tide of commotion
 
Allow me to propose a thought
That each one do as one ought
Lest the sea level rises
With its schools of surprises
To infinitely rip us apart

If we sail forbidden seas
And land on barbarous coasts,
Who will avail us
When the great wave recedes
And we’re marooned on an island of ghosts?

Of Love

A sacred secretion wells up in the deepest of depths.
Hearts melt at the mere pronunciation of the word love.
Circumscribing human strengths and weaknesses at all lengths 
Love permeates the earth and the highest heavens above.

Sympathy, empathy, companionship, consummation
Eros, Philia, Storage, and Agape... all encompass
The core of love—that's the true universe of compassion
Within which the rhythms of the sun, moon, and stars come to pass

It's not my will, but the will of the other dominates.
In love, ego is erased, like a dewdrop by the sun.
The weakest of weakness, love within it accommodates
Neither one is great nor one is smaller than anyone.

Each little petal peeled from acts of love is marvellous.
Lawless can be love's laws, yet they are never barbarous.

For Hamas And The IDF -- Life Is Holy

What a simple
and beautiful premise- - - - -
Everything That Lives Is Holy!
If only we
as the human race
could follow it
and give Life the respect
that it deserves
We'd have no more
degradations, barbarous acts,
despicable killings..... Wars!
All religions preach this concept
It is a thread
that binds all humanity
What will it take for
our leaders to understand this?
Every day there are
so many useless deaths
When will it sink in?
Hopefully with the Grace of God

Putin Purloined

Prompted by Tom Cunningham's poem 'If Only Dreams Came True.' A reverie about the demise of Putin. Thanks for the inspiration, Tom.


Tis true that sometimes history is repeated
Putin and Rasputin were cruel and conceited
Both were quite licentious
Vulgar and pretentious
One now lies dead, the other must be defeated

Rasputin was a political saboteur
A diabolical trait of Vlad's, to be sure
Despised by his own nation
Death by assassination
A more barbarous death for Putin, I'd prefer

Now his broken tail bone is in need of repair
I hope he's worried and wary, because I swear
My anesthetizing gas
Would rid the world of his ass
Fulfilling the prayers of people everywhere

World War Whatever

Standing on the fantail of a warship on patrol,
Its wake stretching off to from where I’d come,
Transporting me back to my first day aboard,
Three long deployments ago.

I’d learned about things like a bucket of steam, 
A sky hook, and a left-handed marlinspike.
When sent below to fetch a fireman’s punch,
I came back with both shoulders bruised.

Now, beneath this cold Comanche moon, 
I find calm in the grace of self-reflection,
And remember certain bitter confrontations,
Where the only honest words were angry ones.

I sincerely regret all my barbarous cruelties, 
But I make no apologies for being a survivor,
While taking the heat on the South China Sea,
Waiting for World War Whatever.

The Words Begin To Dance

Read me,
As the words begin to dance, vacillating bewilderedly.
Without knowing who and where, or even when,
Foolishly stepped out, to meet a kind
The kind with bitter, chunderous, nature.

Kind, very kind without a doubt.
A warm, contrasting view of this being
4 limbs, 2 faces, steps out to greet me,
With its soft, frail hand, 
I pity the misunderstood, as rumours mutate
And transmogrify, smothering the barbarous reality
It smiled at me with one face

While the truth is
I set out to meet something different
Something much different, 
Something noxious, oppressive being entitled
To authoritarianism, ideology and power 


But it wasn’t here.
Or at least not yet

Smiling of the Winners

Through heavy fighting the invaders
With crazy mind and bloody hands      
We stand up to defend our homeland
Set their war gears into depressors

The cruel brutal facts are unaltered      
Who’s the owner, who’s bandits
That destroyed our charming cities
Killed the kids, women and elders

Through the barbarous morality
We fume firebomb of the buildings
We’ll bravely heal your fool acting   
In blue sky our hearts still fly free

We smile to send our humble glory 
To people who fight foreign invaders
To people who dare own dictators  
To next gen, together save humanity

My Deadly Sin

My Deadly Sin

Apathy lets evil win. 
Gossip is among the Ten. 

Cruelty is simply barbarous. 
Three of Seven mentions avarice.

Hell burns hot for hypocrites.
Stygian fates await the bigots.

And may there be little respite,
For the tyrant nor the despot.

These are sins that I abhor,
But, alas, there is one more.
Among them all, it's even worse;
It's penning lists of bad to verse.

Medieval German Castle

Stone for stone, this raised grandeur
With the mountain's contends.
Beauty, austere. With both hiding
Terror's own face within!

One's stormy past of fierce-struck
Outcries, most barbarous
Wolf-sharp, flashingly echoed
Afar stormed; elked and roed.

Time

Time. Is he a barbarous master? Or
Perhaps, a humble servant to the core
My heart shrinks from an echo
Of his whispers in the pipes of life
Tick! Tick! Tick!

With every blissful tick, he delivers breath
With every dreadful tick, he delivers death
And here I am starring at his face
Like it holds the map to this maze
As the house burns
As the house burns.

Sacrafice

Sacrifice 
Hardships, however hard they try,
Will always be cruel.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the hardships,
Gently they go - the harsh, the barbarous, the inhumane.

How happy is the true atonement!
Are you upset by how veracious it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the atonement so accurate?

I saw the big unpleasant person of my generation destroyed,
How I mourned the pain.
Are you upset by how prodigious it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the pain so galactic?

I saw the the yellow compunction of my generation destroyed,
How I mourned the repentance.
Whip. whip, whip.

One afternoon I said to myself,
"Why isn't the fellowman more extraordinary?"
Down, down, down into the darkness of the fellowman,
Gently it goes - the characterless, the mundane, the commonplace.

I saw the eternal trait of my generation destroyed,
How I mourned the humbleness.
Does the humbleness make you shiver?
does it?

Blood Moon 2021

Lady moon dressed in black
with star children in your lap
are you mourning for the dead
bled and left to earth distress
by barbarous treacherous hands
hunting beasts in hiding dark
leaving blood and body parts
in the secret when you' re veiled
silent dove of weeping night
is it shame for lustful beds
cradled in your mantle nest
secret lovers present past
that your whiteness turns to red
blushing redder than sunset
blood reflecting from the earth
omen it will be poured back
tinting soil and corpses red
just reward for just blood shed.
Then by little and little undress
folding widow mantle back
to reveal an onion smile
filling to a pregnant round
like the soul that wanes and wonders
from the path and step by step
climbs the ladder back to light
past the dove moonlight watch
and the farthest lantern star
to the splendor of God’s Heart
joy of joy song of songs
everlasting spouse of love.

Humanity Hell Bound- -

Humanity Hell bound
'Humanity!'  O, 'Yes humanity!'
You warned me about your insanity
somewhat louder than the Christianity
you warned me about the inhumanity
My wrong choices
My determined hard core voices

That evil hopelessness – our evil that’s in our hearts


I have dreamed of the people
and the ignorance never populating
Genocides,
 Killing off souls trying to hide
I crave the barbarous, barbaric bigotry
through which came lacking, lacking, lacking
Biting, hitting, kicking, licking
Me?

Deep into that darkness massing
Is it HELL?
Will all humanity dwell?
And the patients never imparting
Those desires of the hearts lost in…
 ill humanitarian hither hospitalizing
Back into my memories bisecting
Dissecting spirits and dreams
Demons ridicule and laughing

much I marveled the magnanimous, what flocking
Death shall bring occupants
While I pondered, Malachite and mocking?

Oh sweet stench of death, kiss my lips thy night…

Release me from thy clutches of loves’ rot,

Unchain my soul from loves’ barbarous byte…

Where heavens display their hells and have fought,

Only to bleed bated tears in their fraught;

Be gone thy feverous eternal eyes…

Euthanize my sorrows in glutted guise,

Seal my sacrifices in twilight tombs…

Where thy demon daggers of love chastise,

And thus bringing me back to wakeful wombs.

Placed 1'st...Thank You

Ototoxic Orbiting

 Your love orbits my celestial body causing earthquakes and floods,

Within a calamitous canopy mixing of the barbarous bacterial bloods…

A seditious satellite roaming amongst the scintillant sacrificial spheres,

Hiding amidst your clever cloaking giving me many torrential tears…

Your Supernova will combust leaving you stranded throughout the galaxy,

As the ashes that turn to dust releasing me from your gravitational agony.
