Best Aggrandize Poems

Deceit and duplicity, vengeance and vanity
Exploit our weaknesses and dissipate our souls’ strength
As arrogance cockroaches multiply their insanity
We diminish the strength of our faith 

The more we immerse ourselves in new technologies
Stung by advances in artificial intelligence
Deluding our ignorance and bestowing empty eulogies
On partners we...

November is late autumn's prize,
arriving with its last goodbyes,
to usher in cool, crisper days-
perhaps with flakes, or icy glaze-
as trees will shed their golden shawls
to soon don fluffy, snow-white falls.

With time to stay indoors, surmise-
a cozy fire, a book- while eyes
enjoy the autumn's vibrant blaze-
redone...

...for Julie


They call themselves sophisticated
if they score that special hit, 
if they drive a brand new 'Beemer, '
overwhelm us with their wit,

e-mails, cell phones, always selling,
always out to aggrandize,
little do they know that 
I can see through their disguise.

Sophistication isn't artsy,
cravin' money, kissin' ass,
climbin' up...

We're blessed with gifts of words that sing a song,
     their melody through ears flows to the soul.
Through reading come the thoughts in silent ways;
     but spoken words can make the meaning whole.

As soft and loud inflections...

Democracy for elites
Principles never enlight
Politicians aggrandize
Void of commitment
Dalit rights crucified
Every Day, Hour, Minute
Burnt, tortured, raped
Blood tears wept
Humanity if any ever left
Upper caste domination swept
Nation deliberately slept
How can Millions Rejoice?
As largest democratic voice
Shame, to them
Who makes false claim
But never aim
All humans born same
Who can we blame?
Judas,...

Hark and listen well, if those foretoken in the eyes of hungers lust
Trapped in their illusion, trampling the Stars into dust
Forced with the detestation stench by the swamp of absolute disgust
Thou blackest scorpion be accursed, thy fields be ruin and rust

Professed, nonwarranted kinfolk testify regarding...

Our Love Wasn't A Mistake
It Wasn't Adventitious
Our Love Was Meant To Be
Though It Does Seem Fictitious

I Love You For Many Reasons
One's That You're Sincere
You Have No Affectations
That's Why I'm Still Here

I Was Agaped When I First Met You
Thought This Was Another Game
That Mii Love Was...

Tireless Universe
                    by Odin Roark

Time defies denial,
Knowing well its empirical presence
Will never be of absence.

Dense as its surrounding matter,
Its aged archives remain
Forever fortressed beneath passage and...

Walking with your eyes closed





Kids roam in the streets
as schools cry for more seats,
Many sleep in hunger
while food in the bin creeps.

Can you lend a helping hand, 
rather than walk with eyes closed ?

Youth smitten by money
losing morals to iniquities,
Drenched in luxuries
a living masquerade.

Can you...

Aurora of dawn





Aurora of dawn unfolds,
Graces all the greens,
Hot air balloons aggrandize!

Just today, I was scrolling down the infamous feed
Stopping for a couple of laughs, evading the ignorance, 
soaking up some knowledge; not knowing my heart
would soon begin to bleed

And like that, you appeared with that smile that I know, oh
so well
It was the same yet...

GREETINGS TO THE LODESTAR

Vain of metal ore that smiled 
It is by you am steered  
    Guiding my principle in direction 
    You shine like magnetized
    Iron ore 
    I lithe toward...

Explicit Perfect Example to Follow

How much time should I take to devote
To poets and glad I have then to quote
Amy my poems theirs start to buffer
Though at times things get tougher.

What if I were to agitate and aggrandize
And even at times personally plagiarize
But another thing...

Eclectic and faint a lonely sunrise
As a backdrop horizon surmises a smile,
Arrayed in kaleidoscoped clouds softly hued.

A glorious triad fulfilled quest, flares
Its entourage of dichotomy suspended
To earth’s finite...blinded in love and mission.

Dance of the autumn leaves, bow to
Rhapsody fusioned in summer breezes.
The cosmos two-step in...

I’m a primitive thinker and not very smart,
But what wisdom you find here comes straight from the heart.
Let me not self-aggrandize, I’m one of life’s fools,
And my pathway is marked by the bodies of rules.

I’m a chief among sinners: your low – I’ve been there,
And...
