Best Common Knowledge Poems

It would be great if human beings
Were great at being human
And if all of mankind
Were made up of kind men
It would be wonderful if common knowledge
Was knowledge commonly known
And if the light from being enlightened
Into every heart was shown

It would be fantastic if the war...

"Make It Count"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

A
Man may
Come to play
But if you say
Oh no baby, not today
Do you think he would stay
Or would he go so far away
In search of another lover he could lay
Doing everything...

KJV   John 8:32  "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Agoraphobia

I mistook my pain for a summer's eve,
For this is what loneliness does to me,
Adrift on an orchid sweet stern petal,
It is lofty...

Watch out and wait. In fact stop listen and wait. Is that the wailing of a sail sailing by? Of course it is. The fact that an ironed breeze can touch a nautical knot is common knowledge amongst sailors and sailors are neither shaped sharpened...

“Well we shall have to do our best and 'keep on smiling'” said Dumpty to the Owl, who he was worried could possibly get into a' flap' after all it had heard. “Yes it never helps to despair” opinioned the Owl stolidly. “ I have...

“The Great Riddle” 

Humanism became a new religion
in a world where romancing gods
at war sanctifying acts of violence

for their own levels of commandments,
became defunct, monotheism at odds
walked inside the vessels of mortal existence

there also, 
inside the great
I am, 

an image 
lives 
and speaks 

the sacriligious...

We were all saddened to learn of the death this week of one of our hardest working citizens. SOMEONE ELSE.  When SOMEONE ELSE died it created a huge void in our community that will be difficult to fill. SOMEONE ELSE was with us for...

Deep Space Christmas

God is busy this time of year attending to the billions
People’s needs, guiding reindeer, assisting Santa, counting souls
Helping with the naughty/nice boys and girls 
Even Craigslist needs some tweaking here and there
And other things too numerous to know or mention here

God is the...

WHAT IF?

Our philosophies are different, yet people are the same

Where you end up in your life, is how you play life’s game

What is it you think about?  What do you visualise?

What you are visualising, should be no big surprise!

What should be common knowledge, only...

Moving through the pulse and the flow
A timetable of fixed dilation
A given
And measured 
Ellipse
To the people it trips
As they ride the crest

Never ceasing
Never pretending to be
Anything more

Born into the days
Of a future long past
Spying its records
From the start...

Enea's Pope!  (2)

I suppose it’s common knowledge
(and not tedious, I hope!)
that two-thirds of the Sacred College
must concur to elect a pope.        

With eighteen cardinals gathered,
twelve was the number to get.
They were nervous, preoccupied, lathered,
for there was no...

It's the way they look at me.
As if I haven't lost my hair.
It's the way they play with me.
As if I were their age.
It's the way they worry about me.
As if that's what should be done for my scars.
It's the way they tell me I'm...

they should have a stand up comic
who talks about what they would do
if they had a record deal
to make one cd
that everyone would benefit from
a cd soo well thought out in its perfection
it would be impossible not to learn from it

it would start out as...

Matthew 19: 14: Suffer the infants to come unto me and forbid them not: for 
of such is the kingdom of heaven

Is it really shameful to depend upon God? 
My guess is for most people the answer is ‘Yes! '
Self-reliance our one chance at true...
