Best Circumstances Poems

I want to howl, run and flee, 
not to watch what I don't see.
I want to rise, run and flee
 not have to watch what's in the sea.
Tonight, I am like a seed unplanted,
 blown by the wind.

I pray not to remember 
that day in...

We can change our direction and our pace; but we can’t change our race.
If we want to change the world we need to unite as one, so let’s embrace.
Change is inevitable and is the start to peace and joy.  
Fear of change hinders us...

Other Social
Circumstances

I'm not sure I
understand
if understanding is
at all possible.
The diagnosis is
cheap and quick
but not necessarily
accurate.
Nonetheless I try,
to define the social
circumstances.

Ducking in from the
wet
to keep warm and dry
while an acute sun
shower washed the
cobblestones.
I was briefly
approached.
An attractive girl
with falsely colored
hair
and unusually red
lips.

I asked her for a
drink.
A fruit...

Each day he sees Ava
He loves her more and more
All he wants is to have her
Kiss Ava, right outside her door

But see it's hard for him to act
He's not sure what to say
All he wants is for Ava to know
He'd love her every day

I only...

what's different about my days? not a walk in the park
but a gallop around the block, grand
boys in tow, towing me. picking me
wildflowers. we have a spring
in our steps, though mostly housebound.

what about work? the library's closed
to the public, some of us
at home have homework...

Storms swirl around me
To beat and shake my body,
But with my eyes fixed,

Winds and clouds are hushed;
Waters become tense like earth
Under faith's command....

Jesus is my Comforter and my Stronghold in the Day of Trouble
He is my Deliverer my Everlasting Father
I am safe when I walk in the ways of the Lord
He directs my steps by His word, and lets no iniquity have dominion over me
He hears me...

When circumstances of life knocks you down
Don't just lie there, stand up and dust yourself
'Cause the more you stand up and face your challenges
The better your chances of overcoming them

When circumstances of life knocks you down
Don't just give up, stand up and keep going
'Cause the...

They cut baby's flesh
foreskin for god 
forsaken modification 
reflect on what they have mistaken 
for his true words 
I'm not real 
never loved you 
and never will 
this illusion 
you have fused 
with delusion
only to manipulate 
and distribute  
your hate 
and well deserved fate
will...

Remember Victor Frankenstein-
his fault that transcends generations,
no, no, no not his desire my dear child,
hiding the daemons of our minds-
that is the real tragedy.

His heart told him to continue-
as if following the heart trumps the brain,
his skin crawling as his eyes widen-
gasping and panting with...

Yes, you sleep with the boss, you know it’s wrong
And now you are in an office where you don’t belong
Enjoying as you may, you are not able to see
That the boss is now a ruler over your work and your life
And now you are the...

Circumstances
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Circumstances leaves you few A chances.
No nick, no pick, no give me more.
Just a little sauce.
No custard tart.
You on shoestring circumstance
It's rough-and-tough
In the orphan jungle

All I can stitch together in memory is my big toe sticking out from my small blanket.
Kismet! for that umbrella...

A Word of Knowledge

The Lord gave me a word of knowledge for one 
particular person but, it really could be for more.

You are feeling God has abandoned you but, in
reality because you have been in fear because 
of circumstances from bad actions and decisions
on your...
