Best Befoul Poems
Wake up fresh in the morning, free from daytime's infections
Splash a pot of coffee on your pristine complexion
Rev up your car's engine: Send a cloud of smoke into the air
Motor off to work: Emit toxic pollutants over the road everywhere
Sprint to your desk: Turn on the computers, the a/c and the lights
Ratchet up enough current to frazzle countless insects and mites
At break, leave the office: Enjoy a quick smoke
Then smell your clothes -- a tar-and-nicotine cloak
Back at your desk, sweat pours down your body
Mingled with the smell of your cloak, you're off to the potty
Where you befoul the toilet, the hallway and office
With tincture of excrement, exotic odor so nauseous ...

Now this poem's not going to sink, burn or crash
Here's how to remove gobs of rubbish and trash
Step into the shower at the close of each day
Turn on the water full-throttle: Blast those germs away
Let the welcome droplets cascade down your head, face and arms
Wash the stench away with H2O's charms

The ink of sky engulfs my dream
While night’s cinder darkens the shore,
And tattered leaves pivot midstream
To infect my grief much like before.
Dreary this roam, this roam so cold
Attended by a tree's limp veil;
Like ghastly air with woes untold
Of slumber deep, his tomb, my nail.
In a gush, a mist blots the view;
As forceful winds begin their howl
His shadow appears, to pursue
My lonely cry, as weeds befoul.
Oh those grim eyes wail down on me,
Unto our shore bleak as debris.

Amidst forests and rocks,the river flows like super jet
Livelihood for the organisms yearning for its advent
Adept at adapting shape,just to benefit others
Ungrudgingly accumulates minerals,silt and ores
Even after discerning our attempt to befoul it

Verse
My heart beating is alive hitherto
my lung breathing is hitherto
my eyes hitherto facing the queen
of myself thy love IS don . . .
— ( thank thou by blessing creator)
But, obviously in worth is degrees
of early befoul inquiry . . .
your wearing breasts in a practical nude
your truly wearing encounter-leg
— by 75% nude
away, sneaking by of stylish whole
Across el break surrounds one, the hole.
over reacting is you practically
by imitation from my death
Essaying a big selfsame, from it mouth;
sponging out thee any indication
of never having snake me-back in your mind,
then, you had ever caressed me . . .
Darling! — in my record,
blessing you did it — in mine shut up
blessing you did it . . .
In wrangles ignored your imagination.

Lyric
He was in our sight
The robber
All that was left was
The final ploy
To catch him once and for all
I leapt at him from the window
Tales of my skill are aplenty
I landed perfectly
Immobilising him
How dare he befoul our name
Oh to wag his tail with naïveté
Stealing the hearts of so many
Hearts rightfully ours
The love destined to us
But all will be right with the world
Because to save the day we emerge
The Sacred Meow Society
Bringing back the smiles meant to be ours

Kathmandu
a quaint, romantic name,
had wanted to go there now it is a dream.
Nepal, this small mountain country
often used a golf ball between big countries
for purely selfish reasons.
Thousands of people killed and classical
palaces are reduced dust covering
mountain tops
as a fog of sadness
Cry my lovely I can only offer you friendship.
But for the tourists who evacuated on
Himalayas’ sacred top.
Filling valleys with empty cans of beef
and toilet paper flapping in the wind,
I have little empathy
rich tourists that had to bestride and befoul
a holy mountain.

A mountainous town
Lalitpur is a charming town among high mountains
the air is pure; no need to take a shower every day.
I was going there but, in Rome, I lost my passport
had to drive home to get a new one, which took
time and losing money.
Nepal is a small country often used as a tennis ball
by bigger countries in the region, for conflicts
killing thousands and condensing palaces to dust
covering mountains into a clock of sadness
Cry my lovely, I can only offer my understanding
when tourists evacuate on your sacred top
filling valleys with empty tunny tins, condoms and
the toilet papers flapping in the wind.
For tourists falling off cliffs, I only offer contempt
tourists that bestride and befoul a holy mountain.

In similar kind the blood of violent dynasty's
remains distinct without conscience
its empire of centuries
branded hot upon the slave born sweat
and to dictatorship
bring the mind and soul of greed
for in the bestial mouth
ever shall the vampire feed
Better then to rule in heaven
yet still be the Lords of Hell
and give empty promise of redemption
then offer up their lives for sale
By generations of fouled footed print
walk with acid in the barter of flesh
so with hapless reward may acquit
a lifetimes worthless forfeit
for the evil men do is counted replete
beyond love and honour
but to inglorious cause shall bleed their defeat
and so leave their children to suffer
Hate, by its name attest
lead all innocence to corruption
deny the living and lead all to death
then in common dirt to bury them
In laughter's symphony raise their anthem
when in coloured rags
allot the cup of tears for the sustenance of hope
for unknown soldiers entomb
this inconsequential martyrdom
Drag their world to cruelties coldest chill
of all who stand above the flock
and in the career of the heel
seek adulation's throne
with venom their sufferings bemock
the blood of their saviors hang by iron nail
and in the cheering of the raucous mob
construct their prison
and condemned them by the roar of the crowd
Better then to befoul the heavens
and praise the Lords of Hell
this lineage of human excommunication
offers up their Eden for sale

The dainty faerie on tip-toe
And held gently in the dragon's
Clawed and gnarled hands,
Poses dainty nose to craggy nose,
With mystic eye to golden eye
And sharply demands
Why he chose to doze
And let the wicked socerous
Befoul the forest lands.
Moral of the Story: Those who snooze lose!

That can befoul your mood
When rubbed on your face
You're completely disgraced

Light Verse
How do I wake up from this slumber night,
Nightmares are my henchmen...
Am trapped in that bruise,
Silence is the sealed deal with God...
My body is a nobody...
My soul is a befoul...
Am seen as an inhumane puzzle,
Sadness slowly besieged happiness...
Tension is the nervous collapse,
I sense my heart being eaten,
Relished by the devils...
