Best Condescends Poems


Premium Member Me and Me First
That soft-spoken Sovereign commands a big stick, 
runs the world into ruins, once our bailiwick.
If asked why, He grins grimly, pale lips slightly pursed:
"Vindication? Straightforward: It's Me and Me First" 

(To mesmerise people He needed a spell
and to wreak such a rune, His soiled soul...

The Box
Sentences dripping with meaning, we sit,
                Foetal in a blissfully repetitive equation,
Extinguished stumps of trees taking brief roots
            ...

Remembering Reagan's Words
The crumbling down of the Berlin Wall finally 
ended the Cold War as a defiant Reagan challenged
Gorbachev as his famous words were spoken mightily, 
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear it down!"...And he shouted them with rage, 
while the heavy sledgehammer cracked it from the other side;
and a...

Bittersweet Pumpkin
Some days I'd carve a mirror of my own.
Though sometimes
There are such days,
Where I might render a judgment,
Just so I could instill my heart cold.

The intentional shivers I conjure myself to,
To put a pause on my marbling of others,
And mar on myself instead.

Oh, Apparition that...

Here, That Poem, Dear Readers
Go struggle, battle if ye must your battles,
No consent need ye nod if ye should not,
You're not among them that for U-turn settles,
Let the whole world stay put whereso it sought 
To be. Love, let it soil your snow white shirt,
To dance one's heart out...

Charity, Heart More Than Head
O to give from ifs and buts free,
To feel happy, pleased just to give,
Feel good that gift is well taken
And that, receiver too feels good,
Charity’s not to show who’s tall,
Give as, to gift is good nature.  

It is flowers’ innate nature 
To flaunt fragrance...

One Day In the Life
One day in the life,
    a bird sings, hallowed;
    a tree branch condescends.

A cat sees all, tempted by melodies sung in three-quarter time-- 
    those of holy offices whose praise-adorations
    from branch to...

Premium Member Etched On Stones
To what avail are scriptures etched on stones?
Of much, in every way, but not an end:
the rocks cry out in deepest, awe-filled moans
to bear a glyph divine that condescends
to pierce transcendent planes and self-reveal.

In this, divine becomes the word engraved,
but stony hearts and tablets are...

Premium Member Created In His Image
Created in His image from the first,
And charged with cultivating all He wrought,
Soon idle hands begot us banished, cursed,
And weary, prone to wander was our lot.

Rejecting God, "A golden calf!” we pled;
Soon all did what was right in their own eyes.
Our king, not God, we...

Cats Should Be Exterminated
Cats Should Be Exterminated

By Elton Camp

I am making a call for action long overdue
For there is an important task we need to do
They have crept into our lives with little note
Now it is the time to take them by the throat

Bleeding heart groups like PETA...

Premium Member Pride

It comes boldly, like the winter’s cold
Immodest and smug, it can’t be told
It lives in the arrogant and the vain
Always dignified, never one to abstain
It is conceited, like the wind’s howl
Never smiling – leaves it’s dark scowl
It is egotistical beyond the belief
Not ashamed of its...

The Brightest Light of All Lights
The brightest light of all lights
Condescends to make all things right.
Darkness tends to overcome the light;
The Sun in shame withdraws its light,
Earth trembles and all nature sigh,
And accept the sacrifice set at the awful sight.
Behold! the great sacrifice in the darkest night.

Oh Savior, the brightest...

This Morning I Can
"Each day I arise,
Confidence by my side 

My unseen strength,
Kicks in when I wake

To bolster my nerve,
No matter what today serves

For its strength I depend,
No matter how many condescends 

That say I can’t,
I can is my rant

I will is my belief,
Victory, no retreat

For each battle...

Carousel of Psychosis
A rage disorder she says
a blessing I tell her as I admire how white her doctor coat is. Stupid color for people who work with blood.
 Anger issues and compliance- complications she diagnosis me with.
 Strength, fortitude and a sprinkle of 'I don't give a...
