Best Alibies Poems
Oh sky look down on this earth of gray,
Something dreadful on the horizon looms.
There is no black and no white today,
Laws exist but justice is doomed.
Morality is labeled religion,
And must be separated from state,
Whose own religion is political correctness
And determining God's fate.
Oh heaven rain down on us,
Ae are tasting your tears.
Yes we've become that bad,
Confirming your fears,
That what has been done ,
Is being done again,
Those lessons taught,
Coming to naught.
Judges and laws make it legal,
To be rid of your innocent babes,
Under a symbol of the eagle,
God's loving justice betrayed.
Racheal you cry the tears,
That now only heaven supplies,
Because ours have dried,
In the dust of our alibies.
Excuses and lies are linked,
As you and I know well,
The truth is all but extinct.
Truth is foreign to hell.
Oh heaven, look down on this world of gray.
Something dreadful is watching and looms.
Is there nothing left but to watch and pray,
While Rachael wails by the dumpster tombs?
-continued from "Sabbath Morning Rap".
..and so brethren,
We're lost in the lust of loving lies
Conceived and retrieved as alibies.
to woo what we would instead of should,
To deify deeds ordained to deny
that Jesus Christ was crucified,
For you and me and he and she,
He lived and loved and agonized,
to dis the devil and tear his ties
to the role of the soul in his hellish hole.
Cause the devil is real and that's the deal
So if hate is your food and your crude and lewd,
you're flirtin' with hurtin', you're comin' unglued.
The devil is there so ya better beware
You're struttin his stuff and doin' your share.
Take a look around before ya drown
in the fire of his fate and the heat of his hate.
But Christ is saying :
My Peace I leave, My Peace I give
to those that ask Me to help them live.
And if you don't believe I can show you the way'
open your heart so you can pray.
Ill give you a sign for you to define.
What do you say gotta do it today.
Now it's up to you, whatever you do.
Don't wait too long cause the chance'll be gone.
Amen, I say, Throw your pride away,
I want you Here ...with ME ...to Stay.

Ones Upon All Numbers
There are numbers out there counted
Six of them speak clear arithmetic
The others use fingers to communicate
Use fractions to escape their masters
Education is required to survive today
And six reasons why that is
Five of them are excuses
Some whole numbers have alibies
Figures are another story though
Sure, numbers will never lie
The truth is; ones grow
There are four things
I just don’t understand
Science, algebra and calculus
Why digits even exist
Three is best
Time for home
No more counting
Two truths
Logic, Math

An Evil Organ Behind Our Teeth “I’LYEZETTE”
“The tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things,
behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth.” James 3:5
We put bits in horses’ mouths,
Rudders on ships and proclaim,
Small things control large things,
But tongues no one can tame.
Though the tongue is small
It can stir intense emotion,
When it lies, then alibies,
Pretending deep devotion.
In lessons of sowing and reaping,
We’re slow to observe the field,
For the seeds we plant,
Determines the type it yields.
The Little Red Devil Behind the Pearly Gates
“The tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things,
behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth.” James 3:5
Bits in the mouth of a horse, change its course,
as does the rudder on a ship at sea.
Small things affect large things,
as little tongues affect you and me.
Though small in size, it’s no surprise,
the tongue sows seeds of trouble,
when it lies, then alibis,
And starts to speaking double,
Providing lessons far reaching, in sowing and reaping –
when will we ever learn?
We must take it for granted, the seeds we have planted
are those on which we earn.

Just Me, Myself, and I
By LoLa
I got a head start on your wandering eyes
I got a hangover paranoia bleeding out the lies
I want the kinda future that you’ll never be
You’ll never be a very pretty sight to me again
I Hope you’re banking on your overhangin brow
I hope your friends are really hatin on me now
We know that this was never forever weather
There was a silver lining we couldnt find together
When looking back I never saw you comin
Comin up for air; we ran away from nothin
But now the sun is shining on my ocean eyes
Truer skies than I ever saw through your alibies
Dont even think that i’ll fail without ya
I hope you can see me shine without ya now
Give me a melody to bring these words to life
My life’s a self-destrctive, polarizing knife
Cause there are two sides to every weapon
You know I cant deny; these feelings building up
And I cant despise; the way the shade is wearin on me
I need the sun to burn this frostbitten heart and blind me
When people ask me; I’d it all again
I’ll spread my wings to end what you began
I’ll never look back; I’ll find another now
My life’s a love song in this lonely mountain town
And I will love my crazy eyes that never compromise
While me, myself and I, will flee the land of the wise
Spare me your suitcase of schitzophrenic memories
Busy bees surviving burning trees and strings of sanity
Mindless and blind; we’ll fall in love with it all
Forgotten in the wake of crashing waves of the fall
To find a girl to love in a reckless kinda way
The place that lives in the ashes of imaginary yesterdays
quietly......i'll disagree,
when everything points to dishonesty,
feeding lines, pouring out lies,
to construct its own personal alibies,
gathering masses to fight on behalf,
of the ego, embarrassed by his own immature grasp,
squashing love like a bug under his shoe,
instead of humbling himself to face love's truth,
to love deeper, letting go of the control in his hands,
for in balance, these extremes can ruin a man,
the willing love that stands at the door,
that gets backlashed, pushed out, and knocked on the floor,
and still gets back up to show love more,
but then again and again gets knocked out on the floor,
how much of a beating must one take?,
until the excruciating pain of trying to love makes them walk away,
do you think my God wants me to stay?,
while his child gets mocked for her compassion everyday,
i think not.....in your blank attempt to prove me unfaithful,
by means of your own ego, you tried turning the tables,
*This is a dedication to lover that i lost to the pathetic and horrible teenage heart.
I still love you Samantha, no matter what happens in bewteen us, always and forever.
So many secrets
And, honestly i dont just
Merely want to hear
Another lie if any were told...
Never the less, can i even
Trust a word that comes out of
Her mouth? or are they
Alibies? maybe i'll die right now
Cause i can't stand not knowing
Another hug and fake smile
Really darling, has it come to this?
Or is this just a dream that will not
Let me wake up? please release me me. this is
-A nightmare! im screaming for an answer
Never to be given. a hint that
No lies were told in this tradgic affair.
Where did the honesty go? doubt
Is clouding my thoughts and
Nevermore shall i cry for you
Let me jump out of my window cause
Alibies are all i ever here from you
Now do you understand how much i hate this?
Dying on the inside for you.
Xmas tide,
a time for familial gatherings,
The golden chain of friendship
…and companions
Sweet on each other,
parading arm in arm
Together to share a feast and gift giving
...Nativity scenes, red, gold, green
bells ringing
Garlands, wreaths, and holly
Holiday romance rekindles and
swindles kisses under a mistletoe
Lovers making love!
…A lonely time for others
She arrives solo, one link’s absence sears
her heart yet another year
Smiles seem forced they’ll think
…Cry out the hosts,
Drink up, plenty of champaign !
Chums come and go quickly
Good to flatter one in a funk or ho-hum
The dinner is served, everyone rejoices
Mingles and reacquaint
Toasts and jingles can’t take her gaze away
True feelings are hidden
Like a disconsolate widow,
mournfully she yearns for him
Not a soul to tell, nor a cherished confidant
to share a secret or a private matter
Of the sensuality of karma sutra wooing her gently
Mesmerizing thoughts of a distant lover
have taken her far from the celebration
…His sultry eyes, savory lips
Sleekly sinewed neck, and bulging biceps
Quite an exquisite exhibition
Into his warm embrace and into subservience
Draped in satin, his fingertips tracing her curves
duplicating guitar intonation on his
gears, depressing down fretted notes
Making sultry harmonic tunes
Counting down at the twelfth fretboard
Lusty lullabies erogenous, with more alibies,
Keeps silent not to arouse suspicions of
an affair's existence that shouldn’t be
She counts down the twelve days of Xmas tide
her yearning entails
love is starved at Xmas tide~
he plays keep away
"The Liar – Inspired by a song of the same name by Glenn Hughes." The Poet
Verse1:
I see the evil in your eyes,
Only now I begin to realize.
The faith I had in you was false.
You took me on a deceitful mocking waltz.
As in love as I once was.
Stunned by your beauty just because,
I didn’t see through your evil lies.
You have the ability to mesmerize.
Chorus:
I should have known.
You’ve a heart of stone.
Signs were there.
Leading to despair.
You didn’t care.
Now you want me,
I’m not your destiny.
You’re headed for a red-hot pyre
You’re the one they know is the liar.
Verse 2:
Evenings while you lay awake.
No sleep will your evil mind take.
Actively planning ways to hurt.
Plotting to push innocence into the dirt.
You still have a hold on me.
But I have to escape your tyranny.
I’m taking everything I own.
Making sure I let it be known.
Chorus:
Verse3:
Yes I am taking my love as well.
Leaving you to your date with hell.
You’re the one that’s doing all the lying.
Nothing will bring me back not even your crying.
I won’t believe your alibies.
All just a pact - more of your lies.
I won’t even be able to call you a friend.
I should have listened to warnings. This is the end.
After all the fussing, fighting and talking
Up all night, with these floors I've been walking
You come in late once again last night
It looks like you had a real good time
Guess I'm 'bout to ruin a real good day
Party's over I've got somethin' to say
Yeah, I'm gone for good now get outta my way
There ain't nothin' you can do to make me stay
Don't try to stop me now I gotta go
But just in case you didn't know
How can you expect me to love you
When, darlin', you know I can't trust you
Baby, love can't live on alibies
Didn't your mama teach you not to lie
Guess I ruined a real good day
Party's over I got somethin' to say
Yeah, I'm gone for good now get outta my way
There ain't nothin' you can do to make me stay
Don't try to stop me now I gotta go
But just in case you raelly didn'tknow
I know all about your pretty little friends
And I'm sick to death of lies that never end
I guess I ruined a real good day
Party's over now I got somethin' to say
Yeah, I'm gone for good this time get outta my way
And there ain't a thang you can do to make me stay
Baby, someday when you're sober
Maybe you'll regret it but for now the party's over
THE HUG FELT SO WELCOMING.HOW LONG CAN YOU STAY?
SPREADING YOURSELF THIN IS THE BIGGEST GIVE AWAY.
YOUR CELL PHONE IS RINGING OFF THE HOOK.SMILING
AND GRINNING STATING THAT YOU'RE SINGLE. I KNOW
YOUR HISTORY . THE PLATE OF EXCUSES YOU CONTINUE
TO SERVE ME. THEN YOU OFFERED ME A DRINK OF FALSE
ALIBIES.TRIFLING IS WHAT I CALL IT. ONLY A COWARD
ACTS LIKES THIS. TRUTH ALWAYS SUFACE TO THE TOP.....
Restless night under summer skies
Butterflies and time that dies
I can’t exactly vocalize
Or apologize for all the guys
If you were wise you could surmise
The faults in my alibies
Then agonize what that must imply
And recognize how I exercise
Now rise, look into my eyes
Watch the sunrise
Ignore my cries
I’m not just someone’s prize
Don’t jeopardize to finalize
Though I let you fantasize
Romanticized and polarized
I can only compartmentalize
You monopolize but can’t characterize
Glamorize but don’t analyze
That I can’t moralize this disguise
I’d advise for your despise
Unconditional love is being true
It means being you
Unconditional love has no ties
Neither does it have alibies
Unconditional love is thru and thru
There is nothing you wouldn’t do
Unconditional love means you care
Your true feelings you will bear
Unconditional love is till the end
Until the maker does send
Unconditional love I have for you
One day I hope you’ll have it for me too
