Best Add Insult To Injury Poems

Bearing the brunt of betrayal, 
his long-time lady lover leaves him 
for another flame. Surprisingly saying 
"I'm so sorry, Sam, we should start
seeing other people"

Broken by a brutal blindside 
out of nowhere. He couldn't comprehend 
the reason; the shock shook him 
like a loud trembling...

Back in two thousand plus some years more of five,
When computers I'd just met, didn't yet with jive;
When a computer was just a box of technology,
A box of fascination and luring like a giant mystery,
I ventured out onto the Web, called the Internet,
And a choice...

You're a horse with an idiot paint job,
all zig-zaggy blacketty-white
you stand out when you're in a snowdrift
and can't even hide in the night.
Outrunning a Cheetah you canna
not graceful like any Gazelle
for living out on the Savanna
your life must be probably hell.
I once tried your flesh...

THE PEANUT BUTTER STRIKE

In my last year at school I was made a prefect,	
Why I don’t know for I was no model scholar

Was the headmistress i’d hate to bet my...

Who am I? Am I even human? What is my place in this world?
I am confused, sometimes I do not even feel like a human being.

And cannot seem to find my direction.

I was...

The motif on the fireplace was quite elaborate

I was riding a streak with the dice in my fist.   
Lady Luck was with me, seemed  I couldn’t miss!
Then this babe caught my eye,--I crapped out time and again.  
Lady Luck stomped out, when True Love walked in.

I was anchoring...

They, them, those people 
Are lying, not relying 
On God. Lying...
Every time they do 
Their wicked deeds,
They blame it on God. 
They don't believe in God,
So, the dirty deeds they do,
They pretend it is in 
God’s plan.
Once again then you 
We’re not listening,
Poets told you...

We are happy to let you know that you have qualified for a $500,000 new house free of charge,
Said a computerized voice when I answered my phone.
No thank you, I say, and I click the receiver.

Did you just hang up on me?  A monotone...

Some are so insecure and afraid for me to receive any good measure.
To be complimented or gain anything.
Believe  it or not these are females who dress for their best.
Rock all of their gold and flashy rings.
They carry themselves and present to the public their life...

Somewhere tucked away in a Bethlehem hostel

Little Salam sleeps to the sound of the river Jordan

Unaware of the narrative of two thousand years

Or some glorious eternity still waiting to happen


Tucked into nappies donated by the United Nations

Who cannot make up their mind which peace to...

I’m no prophet…
  I just pay attention…

‘Twas the night before Christmas and I’ve gone and broken my big toe,
I slipped and fell and injured it, in the freshly fallen snow!
I was carrying the Christmas tree, the one that set alight
Though the chap in the hardware store swore the lights would be...

These judging walls.
Ever always must I ignore their calls.
Their hushed whispers and silent screams,
Unendingly poisoning my tormented dreams.
Tossing, turning, then bolting upright...
But merely waking ends not the maddening plight.
Unceasingly the murmurs burn my ears;
Ruthlessly parading my failures and fears.
Ever always ringing down these halls
The accusations...
