Best Carrying Out Poems

I am a coward with open sores. 
I write and wonder who it bores. 
I hear my heart and mind argue repeatedly. 
I see others carrying out my dreams; 
that’s what’s defeated me.
 
I am a coward with open sores. 
I pretend open doors are...

It’s one thing to be senile
and lie in your own drool.
It’s another to be President 
and be that droolin’ fool.

So ask yourself, America,
of all the President’s men…
who was runnin’ the country
signin’ with Joe’s autopen?


Note: To those who have eyes it was obvious that Sleepy Joe...

I knew them in their innocence
Once filled with imagination and joy
Playing fun games, climbing trees
Offering a helping hand to others
Able to care, able to be who they are
Then, those who ruled had their way
Teaching inexplicable things
They were trapped by ‘conditional’ love
Striving, always striving to earn...

The sea summons in unrelenting whispers
haunting the night as waves spin their spliced harrowing tales
 
Hallowed echoes an unending scourge over tenderness 
weeping secrets wait held in bondage’s everlasting kiss 
 
Terrified to speak as translation becomes disloyalty 
aching is betrayal and compassion is flammable...

Devil in the Pullpit

It's Sunday service,
and there you are!
A wolf in sheeps clothing, 
stalking your prey from afar.

your lambs are oblivious, 
they are being led to the slaughter, 
one would never suspect you, 
not even your own daughter.

People are charmed, 
by your style and charisma.
Little...

Sea of blue, 
crags of white, 
bitter wind, 
majestic sight 

For this is world of white 
and blue 
white mountains of ice, 
blue sea salty and true 

midnight sun on icy wastes, 
cool reflected light, 
pristine wilderness, 
not to everyone's taste 

Stark white cold, 
wind...

GOD DID NOT DIE AND LEAVE YOU IN CHARGE

God didn't die and leave you in charge.
Who told you that you could decide who lives, and whose to die.?
Stop trying to take lives that you did not give life to.
God didn't die and leave you in...

A three year old dreamy child
lying down beside his dad
at night on the open terrace
eyes wide open gazing at the sky
asked him the following question:

"Dad what are those bright white speckles above?"

"They are stars", dad replied.

"Will they fall down on me?"

"No. They will not".

"They are...

I have stories in my heart I want to tell 
Some of people in paradise and others in hell
I know all the characters in my stories well
Some perish, while some are saved by the bell
The characters are just you and me in print
Described perfectly by...

In The Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus fell to His knees
As He cried to His Father, let this cup pass from me
His anguish and pain I could never imagine
Sweat turning to blood, as He begged for compassion

In the midst of the garden, on the ground, as...

Against communist Vietnam a war was waged 
For almost twenty years fierce fighting raged 
The French came first then the U. S. arrived
Communism had grown and it had thrived.

Most American soldiers served with distinction
Carrying out orders for the good of their mission
But in hearts of...

(A Rave By A Poet)      

Remember when you were a child? 
Adults seemed then to be in control, 
Almost like Gods, with special powers
That almost always knew
When you'd been up to mischief.
‘Playing with matches again Brian? '
What a childish view...

I chose  
I could’ve been
A homebound hermit,
Hypnotized by the hum
And hue,
Of a high-tech 
HD computer screen.
A slave 
To the
Rhythmic rap
Of 
Clicking keys;
Depriving me 
Of much 
Needed rest.
I’d Search 
For Love 
And friendship 
In a network 
Of strangers,
Oblivious to 
The world 
Outside.

I would’ve
Made a great...

Once upon a time there lived a very small caterpillar. She was quite shy, meek, and timid of small crowds. She would even go out of her way to avoid confrontation with the other insects until one very important day. One day she saw danger...
