Best Demeans Poems


The Philosopher
*Based on Plato's Allegory of the Cave

Numb fists with bloody wrists 
chained to crumbling walls.
Glazed eyes that never spy 
a single truth or fault.
Dim light impairing sight 
in spaces dark and shallow.
Stone walls where lies are scrawled 
by murky phantom shadows.

One breaks free on frail...

Premium Member In the Seventies
I wore popular shin high white boots,
The top in rage of disco dancing queens.
The Bee Gees were the utmost in the clan
The alter of quantifying demeans.

Revolutionary, the stance we took,
The freedom of iconoclastic paths
To justify rebellious avenues
That swayed the truth in plain objective wraths.

Our music...

1.Remembrance

Remembrance of guilt from pages turned brown,
Opened and read inside rooms of my mind.
Written through time with tears sliding down.
I will claim each dung lit cavern I find.
My yesterdays speak of a poignant time.
Holding the lies I practiced to deceive.
The changing poems, the flow of...

The Bare Infinitive and the Meaning of Life
THE BARE INFINITIVE

Look: up above the stratosphere 
Outside the earth's blanket veneer
Beyond planets stars and galaxy 
Past even faintest nebulae

Far from the pull of gravity
Free of Dark Matter's hidden vector
In existential cavity
Untied to any spacial sector

All human weakness risen above
In solo freedom primitive 
Beyond the...

Another Slice Please

A slice of Americana
love their Mar-a-Lago cream cheese pastry
immorality a lot
They crave their leadership cake ...
spin-sugar batter laced, 
full of vulgarities and obscenities
in a profanity pot
Call truth to them: 
this is guaranteed to give your soul gut rot
Response be a fork crooked limb:
give us another...

Premium Member Shooting Stars
Why
are there
stars in heaven above
annoying pinpricks in the firmament?
No need for black holes if all stars were shot on sight.
The reach for the stars is hopeless they are so far away we can never visit them.
Knowing the vastness of the universe belittles and demeans us...

Trumps Wall


He boasts
Walls he shall build
With his generals
More weapons for the King of the Hill
Sowing hate and creating
Fascist dreams
He divides and demeans all those
Who share not his vile power dreams

I have news and its foxy news too
He can have his walls, and his shiny shoes
Hate...

Dickhead
“Dickhead”

There is a saddened kind of shame
a name that’s cruel and thus demeans, 
elementary obscene
a child can not reach deep enough.

It started when I read above 
my third grade level reading group
and followed to my brownie troop
then fearful fighting, flight to home.

And in defense I’d...

Beauty and the Beast
Beauty and the Beast
As her beauty glistens on the outside, her beast brutalizes and demeans her insides.
Belligerent engaged and in war with herself, hostile aggressiveness makes her beast comes out.
She desperately cries out, unable to discipline herself.
Her beast disassociates and separates her from forming any...

Premium Member Statistics
In the human equation,
life's reduced to statistics.
It's the patterns that matter,
zero or one, on or off.

Confronting indifference,
fear festers into anger.
And gnawing pangs of hunger
force the soul to question sin.

As lechery deals in flesh,
hypocrisy sets the price.
And a substitute for love,
lust is an expensive dish.

Reality demeans...

Kiss of Judas, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s Le Baiser de Judas by T. Wignesan

In our century where one sells father and mother
Husband his wife and wife her husband
And who doesn’t with ease dispose the only brother
Gives up yet two scorched by blade and fire

Of course...

My cocoon tightens –colors tease
I am feeling for the air
A dim capacity for wings
Demeans the dress I wear
 1099 - Emily Dickinson

Butterfly- A Glosa

My potential, held in a chrysalis,
I hide within a shadowed niche,
safe from mischief and the curious,
time stands still for my strange seed.

who can tell a person is wrong or right?

day-to-day each one is a hired soldier..
fighting in their own battlefield..
not to kill a criminal or a terrorist..
rather a person striving for better life..

who can definitely say one's reason for living?

allow me to say that each one...

My Unique Best Friend
To me my best friend is my wonderful husband

I have a small group of friends whom understand,

That my world is always being with my best friend

We are so close that we definitely defend,

Anyone whom judges and demeans both of us

I guess you could say we...

I Know Love Well
Yes I know love, I know her well
For I'm a hunter who excels
Who knows his prey by sound and smell
And signs that tell, and signs that tell.

I've hunted love so long it seems
I'd know her even in my dreams
I've seen her victims she demeans
And those...
