Best Delegated Poems


Premium Member Loud Mouth

Inspired by Machinehead – Darkness Within (Acoustic version) & members of society who refuse to embrace the kiss of silence…

As great intentions
Wither upon invalidated declarations,
Serenity’s crowd holds teary-eyed candles
Making silent wishes
For the venom to be sucked
Out

Loudness’ waxy build-up
Making filthy demands
In delegated hostage stand-off
To be HEARD

Cocked pistols, insignificant
Firing duds against glasshouses
Rubbing “war-torn” palms
Within cemented rubber bands

Forgetting life’s lesson
To shut their raging mouth
If they truly want to be heard

Amnesia’s warning sign to muzzle thyself
For one meaningful second
To ALLOW a merging of disappointed truths
Into their heartbeats

Salvation’s attempt to stifle boiling pressures of Sangre
From coming face to face with reality scythes

They latch onto plastic rosary beads
Fade to Black
Singing Gregorian prayers,
Removing knife from karma’s back

They strum in vain to please the Lord.

We see your true colors
Shining through

We see your true colors
That’s why we can no longer love you

Placing forced expectations 
Against vulnerable humanity
To lay weary heads on curtailed shoulder pads

With foolish attempts to swallow moot points
And pride-coated defibrillators
To jump start a heartbeat, extinct

Forgetting that even self-made pedestals
Have a limited warranty

I see your true colors
Shining through…

The Constitution

In any country
From century to century
Living together of people
Strong and feeble
Has been of paramount importance.

Countries have different ways of association
Some live in a federation
Others in a confederation.

In each case,
The system of living together 
Is guided by a document
Called a constitution
It is drawn by a group of selected people.

After the selected people have agreed
On a type of constitution
It is then presented 
To the people of the nation
In a referendum.

In some nations,
The people signify their intentions
Through elected members
Who represents them in parliament.

Once the document  is approved by the people,
Delegated by the people,
It becomes a constitution.

...A constitution is a document
That governs the way of life
And behavior of people
Of a nation.

A constitution can be suspended
In times of emergency,
The government of the day
Shall rule by degree
And not by acts of parliament.

All loyal citizens of a nation
Respect their constitutions
As they respect their race.

Within a Lifetime

Within a lifetime....

love has gained yet has also lost

Handed down from all humanities heaviest cost
A child was born then at last will die
The prolific pass of steam branded new lulabye
Within a lifetime filled with mutual success

A latent cavity spurn then transgress

Shades filled with sorrow amidst its darkened gloom
The love embrace sought shoulder to cry no go clean your room
In the grand scheme of things hero sings
Really it doesn't seem to matter not a thing

Shallow briars through parchment claim
Some leaves blow in a filter through its shaded trees
others long to wither with the weather holding fast onto hidden dreams
Yet keep all of your dreams to your self cause no one seems to care

If one gets a hold of your dreams they can steal them I swear

There is no great need by which to pretend

Within a stretched lifetime my good friend
Heaven has shaped its burden he took
In grief our internal sorrow broke
To each spotless lamb a line being drawn in the sand

Within thoughts unleashed to wither in its untimely disaster
Then plagued by fears in preparing for the great hereafter
Some may be even eager to equate certain delegated philosophy
A ravaged heart drifting straight up stream by evil means

One is equates response left unaided like glue yet who knew

Ravaged in certain peril drifting straight up stream
The love embrace sought shoulder to cry
In distant plight taught the eagle to fly
Within every human heart there beats a certain fixed meelody
An exquisite taste filled with humble pie nor that in apathy
We are living in very dangerous times
yet still our nation has settled for ill but faded rhymes
taught to help another brother as a soilder
Pilgrim soilder by which to rely heaven fly by
Pilgrims on a delegated quest to their final rest
Child of mercy fly to the eagles nest like a test

"To get what you desperately covet, you must go the extra mile!' - quote by poet


                Let me tell you a story 
             About a tween mama's boy.
                 One fine day, unasked, 
                  He suddenly started
               Trimming all the hedges 
              On the front porch, a first. 
             It's a job always delegated 
                 To his older brothers. 
          Mom looks on with amazement;
                   Pleasantly surprised.
              She gives her youngest son
                   A kiss on the cheek
                     And says to him,
  "Thank you, baby. You're doing a great job!"
                  After finishing the task,
      Mom wraps her son in a snug embrace.
          Then came the moment of truth.
                            "Mom?"
                 "Yes, hon," she replies.
   "Could you please buy me an Xbox headset?"

Judgement Day

Judgement Day

The misconception about this day
Is that it’s just one day
Well today
You’re gonna hear the truth 
Now you can take it or leave it
But this is what I was sent here to do

Following the war of Armageddon
The earth will morn
It will begin the thousand year process
Of being restorn
For those who survive Armageddon
Hope will be your first born

Now let’s not confuse this moment in time
A day is a thousand years in God’s eyes
And if the wages of sin is death
Then that means
He won’t judge you on what you did before you died

So when the scrolls open, 
It doesn’t read your past 
It’s a new requirement that you must obey
So the earth you can reap at last

So no, you won’t be standing in a line
He will judge you on what you choose to do
During that time
It’s like a chance at redemption
A chance to be a part of a perfect condition
You’ll see your dead loved one and 
The past!
You won’t even mention

The earth will be restoring from the years
Of evil and pain
Cleaning out it’s core
Regenerating – becoming exactly like before
And even when witnessing and seeing all this proof
People will still deny divine force
Yes. And the 144,000 will rule as kings
Don’t believe me its in the verses at Revelation 14.


He has delegated this work in progess
Organized in a way you’ve never seen
And if you don’t heed the word
You will be destroyed
And you wont inherit the earth like the meek

So I say this
Get your mind right and you can
Experience bliss
Cause once the blaze is kindled
And he asks you to keep your head bowed low
You better conform
And if not you gon’ miss the boat

Now this day will come
It’s a time you cant prevent
But I can guarantee that no one 
Will suffer eternal torment
Except the Devil, the one He throws in the abyss

There is hope to fill the silence
And there is another chance
That’s why he died for our sins in advance
You’ve been warned now
So make sure you got a solid plan

Dear Sweet Queen of Vanity

I write this letter to bid you a final farewell.
and I truly hope it finds you well and fair.
You see I’ve based my life upon your 
being,
and every vain symbol and element you 
bare.

But now the time has come to cut you 
loose,
and sever this bond you and I have 
created.
I wish to live my life not based upon looks;
nor this persona of beauty you have 
delegated.

I know it won’t take very long to replace 
me –
For others like me you will certainly 
convene.
Who will rally in pride and assemble in 
deceit,
all in the name of Sweet Vanity their 
Queen.

They will bow their heads, proclaim their 
trust,
in you, my Sweet Queen and irrefutably 
follow.
Bidding well to their pride, masked in 
conceit – 
Your pill of selfishness they’ll surely 
swallow.

But as for you and I, we will no longer exist 
– 
in an egotistic relationship, shallow and 
bleak.
I must move on and proclaim my lost 
throne, 
of the missing girl now superficial and 
weak.

You see I’ve lived the hell and know too 
well,
the curse you have upon the weak and 
weary.
My beauty lies within, and not what is 
seen – 	
Goodbye my Sweet Queen of Vanities 
dreary.

Daily Damaging Days

DAILy DEMAGING DAYS

Dying days dances dearly,
Destroying deleted determined details.
Distill distraction display devoid,
Defiant development drives devalue days.
Dial up diamond depressed diary.
Diabolical destroy dethroned desires.
Designed dependable desires dialogue
Demonstrate defined deliverance.
Draft daily demaging days,
Dare delect day dreaming data
Dazzling death-toll debtors deceives
Debatable decency decision declared
Dedicate depression delegated delightfully.

Some Fallen-Leaves Regarding Longevity 1 - 3

1. 
observing the ardent eagerness of the wind 
it is clearly understood 
that nascent pollens are overflowing 
the niche of her heart  

in response to the signals of the river 
she keeps on ringing 
all long the month of earth-quakes

the bench of the rail-station 
wants to hug her 

the medicine-counter of the ***-end of the day 
beckons her with the hand to come nearer 

in the assembly-hall for musical demonstration 
adorned with ash-trays
going on the rehearsal of her dancing and singing 

she also distributes some life 
to the meticulous dressing 
of the magnolia 

2. 
let the swimming pool be fully absorbed  
with its dark-room 

when the feather of your fore-finger 
becomes green 

the merchant of venice 
will leave his business of photo-coping machine 
to start walking directly 
in search of new earnings 

evening sets in 
on the boiler of the delta 

putting on yellow-dress comes 
the water-vessel of the paper-balloon 

there is no singing bird 
shivering with cold 
in the fold of the dear bed-sheet  

it is possible that the boldness of the metro-railway
may give some wood of tamarisk 
on the expanded palms  

yet oh the western page of night 
do tell today 
why so much tamed polythene 
are here in our cohabitation 

3. 
after so many days 
published in the wind 
painted in wings 
the recent heart’s desire 
of the doors and windows 

they have rolled up their fairy-tales 
from the ignorant drawing-room that wanted 
to set her mind to the hill slanting downward 

they did not want to know 
how much rheumatism is there 
in the hands and legs of the bark 
to whom is delegated 
the control of the mason-made bus-journey 

sleep hugs the eye-lids of the rivers 

though there is no postage-stamp 
within the reaching-point 

then what magic is there 
in the hill slanting downward 

why the wall does not learn 
how to swim like a fish 

truly it is he from whom 
those negligible moments of man-ism 
itch for blue candle-stand

To Ol' Clocks

That old clock on the mantle
That measured the moments 
Of so many mortals
Enmeshed in mere time

Now dusty and disregarded
Disdained and discarded
No longer the master
Nor server of time

One could offer that it’s
Time has passed
That it can no longer proffer
The measure of time

That it no longer dictates
A definitive number
When to rise or to slumber
Gives no longer life reason or rhyme

The clockworks have stilled
The hours no longer chime
Gears no longer mesh
Nor it’s hands tell the time

It’s an anachronism now
Lost in time somehow
Relegated, delegated, exiled, 
To the trash pile of time

It sits alone, quite content with the fact
That it’s exactly right….twice a day
And that’s much , much more 
Than most people can say

…at least most of the time…

In a Sea of Tedium

A Father Clock chimes from a wall in the dining room, refreshing the idle couple that waited.
It was not as if they were reminded of some pressing appointment or some devoted chores that was delegated.
The furniture in the room where they sat idle was ancient and concealed with cryptic scratches stimulating memories of a once lively lifestyle.
An arrowhead seat, brown and sagging occupied one corner of the room making an impression on the carpet conceding that it's been there a while.
In other parts of the room, the faded blue cut pile carpet flaunted gummy substances and foot tracks that were desperately in need of a broom.
Chopin's Nocturne, (seeking their memories of the days of wine and roses), smoothly flowed evenly from the highly varnished Philco console radio and turntable, graced the room.

He sat in a high wing chair opposite her steeped in an art and literature magazine.
Occasionally his deep brown eyes circle with a gray arc would give into a burning need to close and he would nod off, which was a daily routine.
In the highlights of his years, he was a successful entrepreneur, delightful, sophisticated, a celebrated man among his race.
That was more than two decades ago, and although he still hungers for those days he knew that he has grown miserably slow and not able to keep up in a modern-day virtual place.

She sat in her favorite chair that had conformed to her weight over the years.
In her lap was a start of a colorful throw, knitting needles, and shears.
Her honey color skin was slightly creased with tiny folds around her lips and neck.
The imagery of her once sleek body and beauty she deeply reflects.
Her curly snow-white hair rests on her curved shoulders.
She wished that she had not lived her entire life crippled to vanity. 
Yet she would think that the fact is, that on the days and nights when love was a cold memory she was grateful for the memories that realistically  were a safety net for her sanity,
They both were adrift on a calm sea of tedium.
Boredom breeds contempt and the closeness they once shared disappeared unobtrusively and conjointly with the years
All was left was the bitterness between them along with the tears.

Poetic Ink

In my hand the ink drips, 
commotional emotions at large, 
patches has failed. 
Nails and swords, pierce the hearing ear, 
fussed drops of lethal dose, 
push me to the edge, 
for adrenaline chokes my conscience, 
lead tracks, 
Perforation of daunted untrampled dark corners of my mind, 
diffuse me from this dungeons, 
Let the near and afar witness 
and preserve my presence
for days have surpassed others unrecorded,

I'm poetic ink, 
unleash and infiltrate the soul 
for the present to inherit the marks,
Was just an ink, they said,
Lil to their knowledge,
This is a force to be reckoned with, 
if today imparts none, 
Tommorow might be in vain, 
shallow and void, 
the ink drips. 
Feed the soul for the mind is unguided and clouded by rage, assert the uncertain, pull me closer for the desire is ravenous. 

Hand me the cannon, mass distraction at need.
I blow the missiles my presence is not for the immediate 
but the wild and beastly, 
human essence at awe, 
look and listen, 
read and understand, 
this ink echoes, wisdom 
and intellectualism.
breed the inbred.

My crime would not go unpunished, 
spilling the ink is my servitude, 
don't wanna account for my silence, 
for I'm delegated, 
to empty this ink before my return, 
dust to dust, ash to ashes, 
none must pass here before bowing 
and acknowledging the spillage, 
for I am poetic ink.

Well Now Then

A template swap is a switch over to a swimming sword. Swordfish are very pleased at this and dunk their noses into goblets in a godlike fashion. Such etiquette in a swim. Formational framework finds format. And even a small pinnacle of cake icing could dance down the highways. So ignoring the wraths and word of woe it is wise to take out a pretty smiling biscuit. Place it carefully on a plate. Then climb up the hill and over the rope bridge. Very high altitude causes biscuits to be afraid so they must be calmed with soothing words and beats of breath. When the other side of the mountain is reached the biscuit must be harnessed securely using over twenty ropes. Then and only then can the abseiling begin. Wow aren't they travelling with speed, courage and optimism but optimism is neither an original orifice nor an octagonal oversized overspill objective. It is really then the sway of a ninety thousand foot toothbrush that can announce the time with no need of amplification via a microphone or a tannoy system. Wow. How intriguing is the belligerent hard yard of a semi dressed riddled jester? And how time consuming is the ongoing rashers of tinned and sliced ham? How delegated are the powers that are worn around and around and adjudicate the environment? Thus thwarting life in its structural natural weave. And a giant beehive hairdo must be re worn as a signal to a hive. Hide then. Hideous hags having heaping heads. And legs like little tables spin and rotate via remote control. Similar to a plate of writhing meal worms and a workshop of controlled chapel chaos. Big birthday balloons bring balls banging. Circumference of circulating capital charms. And a diameter of a diagram is a dare in the deeds. Castle that then fortify but do not attempt to fry for to fry is to form fiendish frolics. And to frolic is just not a fashionable way of wearing a peel is it? Hahaha the sausages are listening to their cousins today. Hahaha I want a cup of tea and a toast too said the little bluey green lamp. Xxxxxx parasympathetic parody xxxx xxxx etymologies z z z z z at twenty one full meals of porridge in a bread pan to twenty sequences of serving cereals to a six inch bowl. Z.

But I'M Retired

But I am Retired

By Elton Camp

From far too many old men that I know,
If wife wants help, this is how it will go
Because they have been put on the dole
Virtual inactivity had become the goal

Even if the wife has worked as long as he,
No reason to share housework can he see
She is supposed to wash, cook, and clean
But to mow the yard, he just might deign

It seems to me this is simply quite unfair
In the housework he certainly should share
She doesn’t eat all the food or wear all clothes
Why shouldn’t he participate in jobs like those?

“Then how about you?” someone will surely say
In your home does it actually work out that way?
Yes.  I did a share of the housework even before
Now that I’m retired, I am doing a whole lot more

Every morning, a hot breakfast I carefully prepare 
And at every meal, for washing dishes I take care
I would wash clothes, but that she won’t allow
Cause she doesn’t approve of my sorting somehow

But for the worst jobs that both of us have hated
To a weekly cleaning lady they now are delegated
I should work hard as her as far as I am able to see
Necessary tasks I think should really be gender free

But there are some things that I simply never choose
Never, ever would I think I should move her shoes
But if I happen to leave mine just inside the door,
They will vanish where I can’t find them anymore

My Generation

I find myself wanting to believe that the times of bona fide innocence ended with our forefathers decades ago
My heart persists on convincing my mind to see that the dent on our generation is irreversible, but the heart does not convince the mind hard enough for it to decipher
The concept of staying true to oneself deforms everyday
Lie is the new truth- is what we do
The sense of respect is being demolished by our actions
Fake is the new real- it is how we are
We overlook our cultures but do not hesitate to accept foreign ones
Decoration of deception is what we do best
We live in the sphere of illusions- we illuminate ignorance and idleness
My peers devour some stages of their lives only because they are ravenous for matters that go odd with their ages
Some are in a race to the denouement of their lives, well, this may denote shorter life expectancies than expected but on whose shoulders can the blame be delegated?
The ideal of the democratic youth is doomed by a deluge of complex individuals who persist not to comply
If we are this impudent, what about the next generation?
If we are this intolerant, what about the next generation?
If we are this iniquitous, what about the next generation?
If we are this irresponsible, what about the poor future?
What about those offspring we reproduce at such a young age, won't they resemble us? Won't they reflect us?
If we are so conspicuous and infatuated won't they be worse?
If we are so inhumane, won't they just be intrinsic?
If we are so resistant to education, will they even comprehend the mere significance of it?
Being so irrational I then begin to wonder if there could be a possible way to prevent gene transfer to protect the next generation and make the world a better place.
My generation is ruined. We are destroyed, we are perishing.
