Best Constructively Poems
Mis En Place'
(Everything In Its Place}
Arrange it all
Piece by piece
Step by step
Make your world fall in line
With the New Time.
Forget the Before;
Anticipate the After
There is no real moment aside from this.
Lay it all out
Day by day
One step follows another
One by one
Because there is no plan;
Moments march on
As you try to make yourself fill time constructively,
But you dither,
Because there's always tomorrow.
Day or night,
What does it matter?
You've oceans of time;
Drift through the dark depths
There's always tomorrow
Before you drown.
The invisible enemy
Holds us in its thrall
We hide from one another
We hide from ourselves
We face the endless days
Huddled in our huts,
Craving one another
Fearing one another
We shall of course come through this
Though who can say at what cost.
I hope in the end it will make us burn for connection,
To celebrate how unified we truly can be.
Let us learn from this the vast family we are,
Bound by blood and hope, refusing to submit,
As we so often do,
To the cold, indifferent judgement of Fate.
Grieve, yes grieve my Brethren,
For all the loss and all the pain.
Shatter the skies with your laments,
Make the gods shed bloody tears for us.
We will pass through this fire
Emerge purified;
Stronger yet.
This is Mankind.
We do not surrender.
Face the Truth, hold the loss
To your hearts,
Grieve and weep and let the sorrow
Burn into your bones - Yes!
But in the end,
Remember who you are:
Sapiens, masters of the world.
You will survive
You will prevail.
You will NOT submit to Anything.
My Brothers and Sisters,
Unite with me in common belief
That that which does not kill us
Makes us stronger.
Yes, this will slay many of our tribe,
Steep us deep in sorrow.
Embrace the pain of loss, show the gone-before
That we are stronger for our pain;
Show them we will fight to honor them.
We will not submit to this;
We will emerge the stronger.

The book of one's life has been written
The paths he has to walk on have been traced
The goals to be achieved have been chosen
The time of completion of the events has been set.
One has just to:
Read carefully and understand the plot of his book
Walk on the indicated paths and never deviate from them
Help materialize each of the goals set according to his abilities
And
Finally, be ready to accept what may come without complaining
For
Our Lord has given to each of us what it takes to participate, constructively, in the becoming of the cosmic order.
He neither coerces us nor allows us His divine plans to destroy.
He has given us freedom, but He also has set
inviolable universal laws to safeguard His creation
Thus
Whoever oversteps these cosmic laws will face the
consequences of his actions
In that case
One has to know that God is not to be blamed!

In the world of masters and slaves
There were species of great kind reunited
Conversation never ends until late dawn
Time filled with laughs, smiles and wisdom shared.
Connection has no beginning nor end only sparks
Everything was validated since things were immemorial
Uttered words flown, and rippled in every tic of the clock
Energy within radiates its truest nature with exuberance.
Great ideas shared, validated and confirmed intensely
Vivid past, present and future goals created
Propensity in possibility and probability were realized
Growing mass ideas shown beyond its radiance.
Mind boggling reality tackled constructively
Consciousness traversed more than expectations
Never ending creations transpired every thought made
Heart beats and magnify each moment eyes blinked.
Inner and outer influences changed as vibration rectified
Various auric colors seen as energies intertwined
Essence of them simply exudes greatness
Amongst of all whisperers roamed around continually.

Our bodies respond to our thoughts,
Cultivated in our minds.
Sending out positive thoughts,'
Magnetically attract positive things
Across the energy fields in the environment.
The mind, mostly made up of thoughts,
Is personal, private and often public.
With it we think through situations,
And find answers to questions about life.
Spirit, built up from the characteristics
And personality and strong will inside;
‘Fight off’ negativities and propel us
Through ‘hard times.’
The body is seen and felt, and so is material.
The mind and spirit are abstract in form.
They all constructively work - body, mind, spirit;
To holistically create, the total whole that’s man
Not writing on Gen. 1:26
According to my Herbal Instructor,
Body is the physical man
Mind deals with the emotional, mental and the environment,
Spirit deals with what ever a man believes in. That is, what keeps him going.
All three - Body, Mind, Spirit as the last line of the last stanza says
Holistically combine to depict the totality of human kind who was created a Living Soul.
Society has taken on these three;
-Healthy body in healthcare
-Mental health for the mind
-Spirit is fed by Religion
-or a passion for Anything such as POETRY!

Light Verse
It's not supposed
to be an easy subject
but with today's catastrophe
of government intrusion
into personal affairs
it was detrimentally
inspiring rustic entanglements
of superfluous verbiage.
It had to be reckoned with,
constructively analyzed
in an attempt
to make sense
of inane activities
illuminating illusive ideals
tempting truthfulness
bestowed by lack of
meaning and honesty
It riles the masses
to believe in uncompromising
conceptions decorating
dreams of times passed.

WEATHERING THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT
In this, the death prone winter of our discontent,
the world lay languishing from mitotic chaos
and malignant uncertainty---spreading a pandemic
cancer of destruction over the body of our moral humanity.
Infected rebirth cells of ancient crusade history
scatter world wide---blown like dry leaves
in chilling winds of cold war seasons.
Here, in the frozen season of time, Armageddon
stalks democracy in the chilled midnight hour;
while in the twilight of the eve of destruction,
world watchers waddle the time away: constructively
engaged in spotlight moments of warming scenes.
With a bloody but unbowed head, let not our world wallow wearily
in the mirage of winter’s defeat; nor allow her frigid blast
to shatter the bruised reed of hope or out the burning wick of love.
Let us stare adversity in the eye, rekindling the spirit of unity;
let us refashion the crumbled, rejected stones of our moral society;
we building a new and better world where we hold it to be self evident:
peace---perfect peace, is the dominant ethos of our recaptured humanity.

Everchanging is this universe, with many twists and different ways;
Sometimes we get up with a burst of energy, sometimes we leave things for better days.
However, we must accept, that everyday is new;
We should make the most of it, for our days on this planet are too few.
A car crash; a fire; become deaf or blind;
Anything could happen, ask yourself, what is left behind.
Have we laid a secure platform for the developing youth?;
Have we lived a life or lies, or have we always told the truth?;
Have we assisted in educating, to give everyone an even chance;
Are all young children happy? Do they still play, and sing, and dance?;
Do we remember our roots? Legends; Ancestors; and Religion?;
Do we consider everything when we make a new decision?
Why are we so focused on old battles that were faught;
Why do we keep forgetting all the new things that are taught?
Children are the leaders of tomorrow, but parents are the leaders of today;
A nation is a family;
Let only true leaders show the way.
Within each young soul lies the desperate need for peace;
No one is born evil, so why can’t the crime rate decrease?:
Let’s all set the example to make the future bright;
It starts with feeding the birds; and praying every night.
A change can only start from within;
That’s the only way that good can win.
Lead through example and show love and care;
Uplift the less fortunate, learn to give and share.
The greatest joy is found in knowing you made a change.
All it takes is a simple, thinking re-arrange.
Let’s use unity to fight the challenges of today.
We can make a difference, if we voice what we have to say.
Let’s use our skills constructively to save our environment; our Earth;
This is the only known planet that maintains both Death and Birth.
Try and prevent others from making simple, yet harmful mistakes;
Pick up that paper on the side of the road, two seconds is all that it takes.
In life there are those who follow, and those; who lead;
There can be a massive ripple effect; from just one small good deed.
We have the power to give knowledge, pass on wisdom and help others to understand;
Unity is the key to peace throughout the land.

A world can be designed,
for all humankind,
to live fully and constructively,
when the powers of science and technology,
are directed towards human fulfilment and eliminating scarcity.

Blackened the windows with

Anger can be used constructively
To fight with positive action
I am angry that our government is killing us
I am angry that now, wildlife is killed
There is no accountability with corruption
I fought for justice for many years before
I know all about it and the havoc it wreaks
Now I see it amplified as anger coincides
But my fight for truth will never end!
It may as well be written on my grave
When my days here are rightfully done
I will carry on knowing I did everything I could

Writing is my meditation
Not a gift from the gods
It serves to keep me sane
It remains loyal at all times
It has become a common thread in my short existance
Ever present in my unruly life
Its there to speak in my absence
An open platform for my insane views
I can bare the depth of my soul under its protective shades
Its door step is homage to the constructively insane
While remaining anonymous to the world
Its knows neither judgement nor bounds
It is indeed my medicine ball
Years have passed in a rash,people have come and gone
I have grown in and out of life
I have been frowned on and embraced
I have achieved goals and failed tests
Experienced rainbows and butterflies
Got caught in rainstorms and sand dunes
Been overwhelmed,but it remained constant
This is my public confession
Devoting my undying love to it
As i have learned,love doesnt grow in the shadows
Throughout bad rhythms and swell times
Heartbreak and recovery
It remained dependable
More loyal to me than i have been to it
It asks no questions and receives no lies
It is the keeper of my indiscretions
It knows no betrayal from denial
It is my redemption
I have bore the corners of my soul
Unshed decades of darkness, as i burned the midnight oil
In all shades of grey
Inked in pallel verses
Yet,you remained my biggest follower
You have listened to my whines
As i moaned and groaned about my imperfections
Relieving me off the weight of the world
You ask nothing,yet,lend an attentive ear
Greater a mate i have found in you
As i bow to confess my sins,you borrow me strokes of courage
Your loyalty remains a humbling gift
You have carried my guilt
Bestowed on me fresh pages
Reminded me of my true purpose
As i continue to be a lone spirit,in a search of a true calling
In you i have found a better reflection of myself
I am no shakespear,just an ordinary being with something extraordinary to share

O yes, you are right in your way of understanding
But I do not stand still under your sleuth of thinking
You said, there has no meaning to your expression
But I’m the regular flow of the words game mission
Who is a poet, who is not, what poetry is- I don’t know
But as a human being, I have feelings to write and show
You said, there were missed many things for your grip
But I find all as usual I’m, though I’m not a poet of deep
Poet and poetry are spontaneous frequency of human
Where nature and time make the insightful light of pen
O dear critic, as a human I’m there in my natural veins
Though you are bothered by my creation but I’m sane
You can criticize, encourage, someone said- you can’t discourage
I say all can discourage me constructively so that renew my phase

Why do we hate, I often wonder why?
It spreads like a virus, causing our soul to calcify.
Expanding stupendously, as far as your eye can see.
Cornered in time, triggering its inhabitants to plea.
Love thy neighbor, is it really all that hard?
Refrain from following awry masses, stop playing off someone else's card.
It's time we make a change my friends, worldwide.
Start living for each other, instead of choosing a specific side.
Lead by example, constructively engage each day as we all should.
Stop focusing on only bad, and refocus on all that's good.
Expand your mind, try putting yourself in another's shoes.
There are two sides to every fence, each with different views.

CAREFUL HOW WE LOVE
We must love so carefully,
though beautifully and spiritually,
Must ever love so prayerfully,
Making sure it’s truly love.
Love should not be secretly,
but publicly and accountably,
Not destructively, but constructively,
Take care for how we love.
Love should not be questionably,
but sacredly not untruthfully
witch’craftily, or evilly,
selfishly or deceivingly,
oh it’s unbelievably,
what’s passed off as true love.
Love is not what you say,
It’s more what you do,
Behind the back love, and to the face too,
Love doesn’t harm ...or ever lie to you,
If only you knew... what I know that you do,
You would be very careful,
So much more very careful,
We must all be careful
Careful how we love.

THERE IS LIFE BEYOND LIFE
Life… Life… Life…
Defines by number of persons,
Scholars, Philosophers, Saints etc…
Everyone have their own style of saying.
Some persons says its philosophy
Some persons like to say in Spiritual mode
Some one choose dramatic view,
One says art, other one says draft,
Few like to say natural,
A few says super natural,
Teenagers says speed,
Young stars says steady,
To kids its play, Teachers says study
What they define is necessary Or not is not the point,
but the point in that
theories or in definitions gives a message
about how to lead the life with in single line
with simple logical instruction constructively.
Finally the thing is
don’t lead life with adjustment but
lead the life with Correction and Adaptation positively.
