Best Byproducts Poems

It is a dazzling display of brilliance, this conglomeration of constellations from different skies above as many different seas.  I look at them, and feel the spark within my being.  So, like a wounded soldier from the battlefield of life, I take little...

To my heart:

Yes, you. Not the muscle barely beating in my chest. It's for you, the one who I gave that precious commodity to, the one who repeatedly ripped it out, stomped on it and set it on fire. 

To you, the one who will...

Take me back to the days
Where the feel of texture and distinguishing colors among Africans didn't matter
Where the only word was black, and not pale or darker
Where the only weapon was loyalty upto royalty actually smarter
Where mother toung superiority excelled the rest was after.
Where rituals...

Peacefully

Who We Are
By: Tom Wright
7/26/99

We stand today,
products of our lives thus far.
Byproducts of environment, thoughts and acts that we cannot escape.
Each thing we've done in life has made us
the sum total of who we are today.
While many things we've done have been admirable,
still others have...

How 
Is it possible to harness energy sufficient for a simple mispronunciation?
Made from miscommunication...
at best.

At our best we tend to fear; succumbing to failure's hardship. 
Countered by an offensive degrade;
shortly mind-coming definition.
Afraid for conformity's confrontational dialects.

Pathologically diverted lifeways missense imperative arrangements.

Why 
Do we be what...

When
Will we accept our idealist indirection? 
Deviated by selfish deviance;
byproducts of our own deceits. 

Hope
Remains in anonyms who grasp moralizing concepts. 
Courage must manifest promised tangibility. 

Despair
Cripples forces of hope;
Sprinkling dreary forecasts, only to be left in doubt.

Questionable answers are found, such as...
Why do we...

The biochemical reactions occurring in the brain right now
Make your amygdala want to prick the sympathetic into action.
The byproducts run through your atria and into the ventricles
And spread like a flash flood to the smallest of nooks.

A warm rush of raw energy flows through and...

Desire for relief becomes a bane
to the health beyond the pain
when the angst has assumed
proportions past the natal wound

the remedy has long ceased
even as disaster builds
as byproducts are ignored
against the numbing of the balm

clearly sought to assuage
anguish found beyond the base
if only life was more...

Impatient floodwaters at dams
Waiting for shutters to open, 
A hodgepodge of puppets
Excited to perform: at deep slumber, 
Waiting for my eyes to close, 
The naughty byproducts of my brain!

I fly, glide: liberating!
I sing with a celebrity: enthralling!
I reach a different galaxy: wondering!
I flow with a...

Chemist Charlie Chuckles, 
How clumsy her cackle, 
Creating chemical cosmos. 
Consorting with cats, 
Chemical mishaps, 
Oh, Charlie Chuckles the chemist! 

Chemist Charlie Chuckles, 
Cryptic crossword lover,
Confident clinical fellow. 
Crazy misconduct, 
Caseous byproducts, 
Oh, Charlie Chuckles the chemist!

With curly crimpled quiff, 
Coat...

My thoughts linger in the bleak expanse that surrounds my disembodied conscious and  not even the pulsing epiphanies (a million lifetimes away) can bring light to the horrific darkness embedded in the remnant matter of this repented skeptic. 

As the winds once shifted on...
