Best Contend Poems


Defeated By a Woman

The Election result is a kill-joy
And has a man made a boy:
A result so blunt I’m trying ketamine;
That should my recovery determine 
My BP should’ve been key issue
And its treatment a Toilet Tissue …

A woman has captured my capital
And what’s next if not Hospital?
The whole stuff taken to any doorstep
And claiming to have watched my every step …

My eyes have been fed humbling scores,
Another shutting of my political doors
An angering spread sheet on my lap 
Underscoring my defeat by a gap.

And I swear animals what these portend,
Birds to laugh if I do them contend …

Right now A chairwoman Elect!
And they wouldn’t me select.
Already, I can see her sky-scraping head gear 
And celebratory fanfare in high gear
Artificial eye-lashes one can glimpse from hundred meters 
And music-powering generator with hundred litres …

And guess I’m emigrating to Dakar
Or to far-off fourth Africa
Or perhaps nearer Niamey … 

No eye-lashes wearer will chair me.

A Man To Not Contend, My Name Is Will I Am

I will never die
For you see my destiny,
Blends into the sky
Why it's no great mystery.

I came from planet far
So that you would believe,
For a mortals average par
Is not quite what it seems.

Donned in decadence
I will never leave,
The last great avatar
Was thus revealed to me.

Will I Am He spoke
You will know my name,
Consider me by all
An unpaid debt arranged.

Restitution called
Defined, exacting blame,
For written in my cards
It's measured, weighed and stained.

What was once will be
Return I will and did,
I'm all and everything
And forever I will live.

Recall me I am you
A man and silhoutte,
Eternal I am truth
So you will not forget.

Abyss and chasm dark
To live first you must die,
Fearless I am proof
That God is still alive.

Explore I do and did
Then realized it was me,
Are you asking still for proof?
A warlock or a priest?

What I've found beyond
Is a single, simple price,
So match my strength in words
Yet fail you will to try.

Honor this and that
For I am blackest sky,
Immortal I'm a bat
And winged I often fly.

Above the sky and then
When night has fallen long,
This ancient over-lord
Returns to Avalon.

There I am you see
A man to not contend,
A sage, a poet, priest
And my name is Will I Am.

Contend To Be Content

Maintaining an evenness of devotion
means the world to me
don't fool and start a commotion
I recognize ye
There are times I ponder
as to why love don't last
why people squander
and rod do cast
are they not warm and dry but cold and wetter
is it themselves that is lacking
should they be a debtor
while the floor beneath them is cracking
in our walls of luxury
they should fix the dent
this is just the introductory
so contend to be content


Contend With Trump a Big Force

Contend With Trump A Big Force

To contend with Trump had been a big force,
Regardless if you are off or remain on course;
Horse rode on;
Dusk to dawn;
Count on conditions or can consider source.
