Best Deflecting Poems

as the PROPHETS of profits, WE lead and WE’re fair
while WE’re living the life of the poor BILLIONAIRE
– silver yachts, pearly castles, cash (plenty to spare) –
with the world on OUR backs... ah! the burdens WE bear!

being HAVES (not the have-nots) as nature decrees
means WE’re...

He speaks metaphorically to avoid dealing direct, 
shows the unknown hand he’s against too much respect, 
writes about his bravery though it’s no where to detect
or talks in the third person like this I'd expect.

Going on about himself like it’s happening to someone else,
distanced from...

Dormant desires within derelict deserts’
Winds whispering of your selective stealth
Frozen fingers that chill the empty spaces
Longing for you a pacifier of thickened thorns
Discombobulation drives the day
Your mendacious love marooned on dusty dunes
Secluded silhouettes stranded
Mystifying mirages migrating
Only sacrificial shadows scream
Where your love mutates into a holographic...

You felt you found love
as a naive youth.
And asked God above,
to confirm its truth.

Yet that love would fade
as the years slipped by.
But those feelings stayed;
and still makes you cry.

Breakups hurt so much
smiles morph into tears.
And you shun love's touch;
alone with your fears.

Unable to cope,
you douse...

Where the aura shines in subdued tones
    Overlooked tones were these
Purple...murmured brilliance
Austere vivid visual
Captivating subtly... smiling shyly

Deflecting the praise
gliding through days, easily flowing
floating
Lovely, imperfectly graceful
Cries on whim, laughs like songs
Affectionate laugh....contagious laugh
I love to make her laugh

Selfless, sensitive angel
  arms wrap...

Thinks he's on some cool ish
But really on some bull ish
The type of dude that
You want nothing to do with

This is the type of dude 
That will  promise you everything 
Wont deliver anything
& use excuses endlessly
He'll be acting like a boss 
As he undermines...

In pods, pale and emaciated-
muscles atrophied, 
their eyes behind thick goggles
deflecting stroboscopic lights-
they sit for hours with empty smiles.

Each human in a private pod
lost in grounded bliss:
every want and need, fulfilled
by technological AI wonders;
instant information and amusement.

Touch of a button simulation
to other places via virtual...

Christ!
A warparty of 60 Shoshone warriors has just stampeded into the meadow
faces painted red and white for blood and death, all sorts of strange designs,
bows and arrows ready to fly on us, skull breaking cudgels raised up,
the woman runs out to them shouting for mercy,...

The sky has dug a hole in the cloud
it's fuc**** triangle's fault  I can't see the pigs
stratified societies 
revitalized on schizophrenic base of
finger pointing minority
staring at fragmented people 
seeing them as dispensed particles 
that parasitize above their respiratory system and
disrupting  implemented cohesion

in order...

My golden ego soars higher than yours
I can hold my breath longer underwater
of course,
because my publican lungs are stronger than yours
I can outshout your taxing voice 
to the heavens with a prideful text roar
I’m the big button lying king,
that’s for truth ducky sure
Everything I have...

Reeling

         Feet skipping

                     Over black holes

Racing

No one at home on Valentine’s Day, our lips were already locked.
Getting used to being alone, our plans would have left you shocked.
Back from vacation, the Basement Trolls came strolling in, our night was lost.
But wait! My Hubby had planned ahead, perhaps we were still...

Denied an unspoken moment
If I were only "granted" the chance
The right suspiciously stolen
Upon your untimely-you left
My heart pierced, laden with leftover guilt
A wound not completely healed
Tears descend out of broken windows 
My troubled essence hardly feels
Anguish I refused to admit
Looking past my face
Avoiding my reflection's...

We Are Responsible 
Sandy Hook, so many children murdered,
I saw Obama cry. Gaza today hundred of 
children murdered blown into the air like 
ragdolls, broken limbs empty eyes; does  
Obama cry today? Brothers can you spare 
a tear so easily spilt when watching a...

Marching out of the cloaked shires
Of landowners, stockbrokers, 
Hereditary Peers, and ruddy faced 
Squires:
A vast multitude of many varied 
Tribes.
Amassing in the great cities, where,
Inhabiting shadowy chambers, 
Behind nodding sighs and hushed 
Whispers, 
The Masonic Civil Servant plots and
Confides.
Standing vigil above forgotten
Monuments
And bronzed statues, that,...
