Best Demanding Poems
Why is it when you go out of your way
To help someone brighten their day
Or solve a problem that has things in disarray
They want to play you as if to say
You owe them in some superficial way
Putting on some kind of poor me display
Overshadowing the kindness you portray
Some are not able to see the good deed
That some people give so freely
They do it because they are able to see
What a difference this would be
For them to help make your day stay in play
Some people lack the ability to foresee
People go out of their way, not for praise
Or to be a standout who wants you to obey
Not to create a cushion for some far off distant day
We do it because we care
When we see someone in dispare
Or life seems to be unfair
When someone is down on their luck
Because everything has run a muck
Feeling like lightning has struck
Then being able to help someone become unstuck
It's just good karma that is our choice to send their way
It doesn't require money
Or a promise you will make it right someday
It simply requires a sincere thank you
A genuine reply without asking why
Understanding that everyone
Has not just left you standing
When your day became way to demanding
Knowing someone went out of their way
To keep your day underway
It's not how we repay the kindness
But rather how we display
All the goodwill that came into play
To help make it through your day
Gods Of Man's Vanity Demanding Intolerance
False realities fed to the masses
Another ghost ships sails the seas
Knowing not, yet their lie passes
Escaping truth's majestic pleas
God of vanity demands intolerance
Only its hate is to be displayed
Damn morals, into deeper ignorance
Silent servitude must then be paid
Love, always a great promised reward
Yet black evil roots firmly laid
In black garden in a devil's yard
Nobody sees the beast they ride
God of darkness their faith hides

Nightmares
A Demanding Steed
Once upon a crisp Winter morning, while the cardinals so lively, announced the awakening of a new day.
I sprang out of bed, pressed play on the radio, and begin to dress for a trek across the field and dance.
My brown leather boots were still warm from the heater they had been placed upon the night before.
The painted gelding's neigh travels through the wind and up to my door knocking loudly.
He requests fresh water and straw.
I find my coat that is brighter than heart decorations floating around on Valentine's Day.
It too matches the cardinal's plumage and warms me.
The young equine commands its orders again, and in a very blunt manner.
I rush to the bathroom, twist my hair into a woven strand, and complete the style with a petite floral hairpin to confine my bangs.
The horse noisily bellows once more.
The creature lacks patience like a fourth-grader waiting for recess and the freedom to prance about.
My gloved hands twist the brass doorknob and the wooden door extends its arms towards the snow-covered backyard.
Oh! The outside air strikes my face as the icy wind impales every inch of my soul.
I close my eyes and pull my fuzzy cream beanie over my ears.
My shriek caused the cardinals to crow once more. They mock my misery in the cold.
Crunch! The snow feels like glass cracking under my shivering feet.
The trusty transportation source turns its large upright ears towards my direction.
A cheerful whinny he lets lose along with a jolly canter to the edge of its wooden stall.
"This metal nameplate is inscribed with only the most appropriate name for you my friend," I tell the horse. Commander.
Oh, how I love thee and its amusing demands. The marvelous adventures he takes me on.
I fill up the water trough with sweet water and place fresh golden hay into the wooden feeder.
I turn to kiss his fuzzy black and white muzzle before I dash back into my cozy cabin.
The creature appears to smile at me as he then turns to consume the new hay.
I love my horse so much that I would let the animal inside the house if it wasn’t so large.
It was a compulsive decision
critical in its form
difficult to understand
while exacting some of the truth.
my exhausting mid
became hard to comprehend.
Thoughts pressed and developed
I strictly forbid to except
I became stringent
stress turned burdensome
I was living a tough life.
Troublesome I became
trying to achieve the impossible
mornings became nagging
nights were wearing.
Waking up felt irritating
clamorous
but imperative
I fussed about everything
in a grievous situation like this
I tried to be domineering
appealing
but I became repetitive
oppressive
always complaining
and nothing was important.
I
Gave up
Asking for
Water when
I can make honey
And everything of money.
I stopped waiting on Top Men
When I can bend and make more.
I went into mine and let the Top Men
Theirs and start working for all I can give.
Here is where we start asking the Top Men
For the schools, hospitals, roads and all
They swore to give us when entrust
With our hearty sweat and blood.
Now's the time we rise 'gainst
Corruption and thuggery,
Poli-tricking that is
Bringing the
Masses
Tears.
Quit Being So Demanding
March wind with misery before April and May
Causing asthma to flare up and fever of hay
You may be really allergic to many things
Coughing and sneezing to you it brings.
There are those in Tunisia who have said
People were wounded and often had bled
To death from injuries that they received
What person is the one who in they believed?
Shenanigans that were pulled by a hooligan
Few of them women but mostly are men
Its amazing what they all do to deceive;
What in turn do they expect to receive?
Fight fire with fire is what I have heard;
Is this what in their minds just occurred?
Creating views seeming to be so slanted;
What went wrong with seeds God had planted?
God had known from world's very beginning
There would be bad behavior and much sinning
God an opportunity with his ability had given
Us a way and chance so we would be forgiven.
Moral is only give out what you expect in return
And no matter how badly sun may have to burn
When God's love into your life has a safe landing
Never let His love go that to you He is handing.

Demanding and Commanding
Once in our world did exist understanding;
Being replaced by controlling and demanding;
Canter of attention;
We must mention;
Maintaining a lead constantly commanding.

Capitalists sell prayers and hope
From China, PRC, to you and me
In images and words: forward these
To all your contacts - such positivity
Yet we hear, embedded spyware
Comes with readymade China prayer
To Jesus or more often, "the Universe"
II
LORD, I owe my all to thee
My two children from a first marriage
And my current, S. African family
Blended families have challenges
Yet, You allow us all to share (Time)
- often at the last minute, LOL
As some youth seem to upset a schedule
To see they still have "love & first place" -
Jesus, help our youth, parents, guardians
Without thy Hand, we will fail more
In duty, stewarship, responsibility
To people, planet, parents-to-be
Bless this Day, this year; save us, purify us for GLORY ( amen)
One pastor spoke against "fwd-ing" messages
From WhatsApp, without knowing the source
In prayer, the character of the intercessor
Is as important as Trinity, God, subject of PRAYER
I regard and say
longer I live I ask God
further sage i pray
Demanding
Haiku by Tom

With me, please just ask,
it won't work if you demand.
Harsh words don't sit well
Dead people are shouting at the gates, demanding to get in.
I look at the head devil; he has green curly hair on his chin.
Why they want in here is anyone’s guess, he says to me.
It’s not like we’re party animals; there is no kind of glee.
Let us in! One of the loudest ones demands in a hoar se voice.
I found pout later he is a spoiled only child name of Royce.
The head devil rolls his eyes and twists his finger around his ear.
Even I understand this signal; it is well-known, very clear.
They must be crazy to want inside these decorated gates of gym.
I guess they do not realize the things that are ready for them.
Come on! Another yells eagerly, taking up the sounding bell.
Do they not understand they have arrived at the gates of hell?
I took out my id and went for a walk.
She was in a daring mood and started to squawk.
I want cotton candy, popcorn and a fresh hot dog too.
She was most demanding before she was through.
I laughed at her urges, they came hard and fast.
She was jealous of attractive women we passed.
I want that scarf, those shoes, that tiny skirt too.
I heard her screaming way out in the blue.
She wanted to be satisfied, and right now of course.
A jockey rode by on a sorry looking horse.
Look at the sky, I encouraged my ID. Wonderful weather!
She concentrated on what we lacked, difficult to tether.
Urges needs and desires, came quickly to my mind.
She was demanding almost all of my listening time.
I had never seen her this impatient or angry before.
Impatience compelled me to run back to my door.
I locked her in hard. I locked her in tight.
I put her into a cage, that felt exactly perfectly right.
She was still shrieking, demanding with a loud again scream.
I could barely tame her until we got to a worthwhile dream.
I observe the continual ' over liberal 'design.' Demand
Demand and to shoot, is there any moral line.?
Spurred on by sucsss's over forty years.'
Assulting workable familiy units.. With a barrage
Of anger passive agression false piety? And many tears
Yet the formula it seems has garnerd, gains? And room
To cause so much division, self-doubt indeed so much gloom.'
Is there a lesson for others? On how to mis-behave?
Grab the spotlight and clamour.' By night or by day.!
I OPENED A DOOR
TO THE NEXT WORLD WHERE
A FEW CONTROLLED
THE REST DIDN'T CARE.
SUSPICIOUS LIKE THOUGHTS
SURROUNDED MY BEING.
AS IF TO ASK
WHAT AM I SEEING?
THOUGHTS AND EYES
FOLLOWED ALONG.
AS IF I JUST MIGHT
DISCOVER WHAT'S WRONG..
THEN SUBTLY THE FEW
STARTED MAKING A MOVE.
AS IF THEY ALL,
HAD SOMETHING TO PROVE.
THEY SUGGEST I SUBMIT
DROP TO MY KNEES.
DO AS THEY SAY
NOT AS I PLEASE.
RESISTANCE WAS FUTILE.
BUT I DIDN'T CARE..
I UNLEASHED MY THOUGHTS
AND MADE THEM AWARE
BEING IS THOUGHT
THOUGHTS ARE BEING.
IMAGINATION
IS WHAT YOU ARE SEEING.
WHEN IMAGINATION
IS OUT OF CONTROL.
PSYCHOSIS APPEARS
IN THE EYES OF, WHO KNOWS.
JUST LIKE THE UNIVERSE.
OUR IMAGINATION EXPANDS.
UNTILL YOU ENCOUNTER
THOSE WHO REFUSE YOUR DEMANDS.
IT ALTERS ONES BEING.
IT CHANGES ONES THOUGHTS.
IT GOES AGAINST TIME AND
ALL WE WERE TAUGHT.
CONTROL OVER ME
WOULD BE MENTALLY INSANE.
THAT'S WHY PSYCHOPATHS
ARE CONSIDERED INANE.
AS WE TRAVEL THROUGH TIME
WE SEEK UNDERSTANDING.
IN A WAY CURIOSITY
IS ALSO DEMANDING.
I OPENED A DOOR.
I CAN EXIT THE SAME.
GIVING THANKS TO BEING
AND BEING EXPLAINED.
