Best Decency Poems
Giving Decency a VoiceIn the dreary tune of a city's groan,
when streets escape the raging claws
of haggard breaths, a line of stars blink
trading some warmth with human arms...
beyond sighing notes the dusk possesses,
there are more wrists handcuffed on tainted
steel of unjust labor for children and women
who toil...

The Empirical Veneers of Decency and AcceptanceThe Empirical Veneers of Decency and Acceptance
It’s funny how perceived intelligence
Is not necessarily a measure of true smarts
How the genius, the barrister and the eloquent
Can miss the point from the very start
It’s quite bemusing to observe her lack of self-awareness
And confusing...

DecencyThe decency.
With relation to the horizon I am a walking vertical.
I justify it by standing in a line of the same lines
near a coffee boot.
I will certainly be punished for behaving differently
from the ideal of straightness.
I pretend not to understand that
'there' coffee is not sold.
Closeness.
I...

Arrowhead DecencyGive me arrowhead decency
A supreme meaning to see
Beyond embattlements and car parts
After hustle bustle relapse
To witness standing strong
Cause I'm strung out, overloaded, debugged
Drifting midnight's icy whisper dangled
From crocodile boots and machete clearing
Out in the open hoping
Rope will wrastle my animal farm
Yet Orwell's...

Comment On Decency and MoralityComment On Decency And Morality
This ole earth sets its unholy record
as sin is so often celebrated
The bad walk with chins and chest puffed out
streets danger from the inebriated.

For Democracy and DecencyI’m sorry but I can’t pretend or meditate it away
Watching Americans becoming predators after human prey
I think of all the police now at home bruised and broken
Who fought for so many lives without the respect of so many unspoken
Then at the dog park, two women...

Pride and JoyPride......and joy?
Pride is thinking that you know too much
Thinking that the love you have is even half enough
It's clinging to honesty as if heard earnestly spoken
Or getting hurt and saying bones and will aren't broken
It's setting aside the friendships that build us up
And giving...

Rampant LethargyR is for the repeated distortions of facts,
A for press articles written with hacks,
M for the emphasis placed on survival,
P for the piss taken out of your rival.

Red Or BlueLiving a 3D technology
in our visual world of reality
where one is so much less without the other
Two realities side by side
in it’s depths we came alive
seeing through each lens of a different color
Now it seems we’ve fallen flat
stabbed dimension in the back
as...

Saving LibertyWe find Liberty has left us as we left our guard,
allowing hate and dishonesty to prosper unbarred.
We tempted fate, then saw cruelty's depth
as we watched a man die while pleading for breath.
Strong words either left or came at us fast,
as we longed for the future...

Here I AmHere I am at the crossroads
Staring blankly at the inky dark sky
Beaten to a pulp and helpless
By forces of darkness
Here I am lying in the pool of my emotions
Clutching at every straw
To maintain sanity and stability
Here I am a victim of...
