Best Debunking Poems

To 'ride on somebody's coat tails'
Is the most dangerous thing you can do
'Keep a stiff upper lip' is another cliché
Mine's not stiff, how about you?

'One good turn deserves another'
Turns my stomach if you must ask
'There's no fool like an old fool'
I'm quite offended by the...

Happy 5th birthday have you accepted rape into your life,
It's a patriarchal practice built from sadism and male strife,
A hedonistic ritual to keep us all under control,
The birthright of masculinity bestowed upon all men young and old,
They'll decry our institution of commercialized fear funded by...

There once was a nutter quite frightful
Who spent so much time being spiteful
   When confronted with truth
   Completely debunking her sleuth
She barreled into delusions most delightful!...

Unquotable quotes: Witch-Doctors and Tribal Headmen – XXV (Part Two)

Which Asian “King” would crown himself “Emperor” during an elaborate theatrical ceremony while facing and exhorting the ruins of his Illustrious Ancestor’s capital?
Which commoner army captain would seize power through skill and grit to crown himself...

Part One

Now as I account for myself
I know the fight is over
   You made me feel if I was worth saving
I was worth having
And I knew as the man flattered to grow
    He also learned the crafts of

I don’t deserve
This kind of punch to my pride
You used your best left hook, uppercut and jab to my ego
Here desperately griping the corner of the ring
Unable to believe the idea
That he ever felt that my commitment was unclear 
Upsetting the balance of sincerity 
Exploiting...

The cosmos baffles all train of thought,
Though man has extended his reach and he has sought.
Telescopes now peer up at distant stars,
While spacecrafts are sent to our neighboring planet Mars.

When the sun sets no longer are we in darkness, 
For it is electricity which we...

Stand up tall and be counted,
join the mighty force.
Make sure to be united,
so there is no remorse.

Take a bible in your hand,
swear unto God up above.
Tell others of your stand,
and His mighty, mighty love.

Stand up tall and be counted,
join the hallowed rehearsed.
Follow the Lord, undaunted,
debunking...

How shall I deal with this wandering mind?
Meandering through a meadow of ideas,
Seeking truth among noxious weeds I find

Since early childhood I have been curious
Always sifting through my brain’s cogitations
Accepting new concepts; discarding previous,

Tossing thoughts like a machine’s agitations
Chewing on choices of words, so indecisive,
Practicing...

Surely of you the Lord is aware in so knowing the name of every star
Surely about you the Lord does care it's not a matter of what you are
Creating Heaven and Earth and every single thing that's in between
From your creation to birth it's sad...

Steam driven ashes and lava from volcanoes
Obscure tomorrows
Exploding from bean pods and tomatoes
Beseeching and seeking halos

Our lives require
To earn a rebirth
Inspire and inquire
Whether a new berth

Becomes of the essence
In the path the future offers
Despite the intensive care unit defence
Happiness in bloom proffers

To decrease the harm
Self...

With her barbed wire stare
Rusty braids of disheveled hair
She offered me a dash of hate

With her wrinkled upper lip
Clenched fists on unwanted hips
She offered me a teaspoon of hate

With shards of light debunking night
Sharpening temptation with psychotic spite
She offered me a tablespoon of hate

With her...

Candice is a candid candidate.
Her honesty harvests heretics’ hate
Not to be outdone
She creates lots of fun
Debunking deceivers during Des Moines’ Debate!...

Pulled together
by a magnetic avoidance of loneliness,
fueled by an insatiable ardor
to evade a shortage of love.
Mutually splintered souls searching
for a place to embed and
implement a façade which conceals
mutilated minds.

Spurious attempts to disarm 
the timebomb which is his mouth.
Futile efforts to escape
a mental cage
inflicting frightening fingerprints
on...
