Best Destructs Poems


Premium Member Conduct Caliber -

Which is the greatest conduct of them all,
which one denies terpitude & futility most strenuously,
which exhalts productivity & nobility most vigorously,
is there a single method of action, behavior of best results
that is preeminent & priority above all others, a vangaurd conduct marshalling the rest,

I am the voice of Sympathy,
where there is woe, misery, lamentations abounding like leaves on trees
you'll find me, not as uplifting but reveling,

speaking as Efficiency I confidently state that none is more pivatol 
to success or goal, on my balance constructs & destructs are indistinct,

Compassion, the cornerstone of virtue, I am enabler of empathy,
the isolated instructor from within,
the summons of sorrow & vision of victory,

as Education I say essentially,
expansion of intellect shrinks the world & ignites ingenuity
fascillitating personal progress like the breeze pollenates,

the attitude of Art, this is I, violent epiphany,
serene sensations & resolute reflections, 
a communicator of a cosmic kind, imagination hammering,

I'm the bell holler,
the quaint choir of warm Exhaltation,
a muse of meditations & mandalas, I build temples from tissues
and citadels where fears nest,

calculator of consequences, a storm of precise pursuit,
I am that which commands, conquers & survives demolition,
Leadership, heart's precinct,

you cannot deny my supremacy,
I am that ravenous stimulation which can kill or invite life,
Copulation is the term, that impetus which fascinates,

Love is my name,
I engender shame, pride & sacrafice,
a mountain whose summit always rises,
I arouse life forces to ever increasing standards,

Warfare, desire's demon,
you all blame me for the wrongs & feverishly recruit me
when your charms fail,
I am fire upon the soft flower of rewards -

Premium Member Sonnet: Nothing Feeds On Itself Like Violence

Sonnet: Nothing feeds on itself like violence

Nothing feeds on itself like violence
The more it self-destructs the more its might
Goya geek – padi eaten by its own fence*
The dog that swallows its own tail in fright

Yet nothing changes fast as when throttled
Takes the weight of one’s whole life to wake up
Many the night Dopplegänger dreams rattled
Will the hand that wields the chopper back up

To see the other severed from body
Since violence begins in thoughts at will
Who can hold it back once in thoughts born free
The root cause of violence springs despite will

Envy and hatred begin in the eyes
And stick in the head right until one dies

•	Pagar makan padi: Malay for : The fence eats the padi/rice; meaning, treachery (where trust is betrayed).

Stanzas of cyanide, her words come laced
Silky smooth ink, self destructs into space 
Still her head unlocks 
Unlike comments box
One hundred instant hits, a maze in grace

Cancer

How do you comfort the unknown?

Is it some form of diabolic presence
or fate?
What are we destined for

and to suffer through?

Isn't agony enough?

Isn't fate rainbows, butterflies and happy thoughts?

Think again, darling.

The world is strenuous,
problematic
and troublesome

a series of a thousand empty promises

a cure for something devastating.

I can't fathom.

I can't comprehend

or see this crucial lesson

how and why,
why and how

do emotions lead to suffering,
an arbitrary solution-

How does one believe in destiny
when it destructs 

and leaves you wondering why

Premium Member Look On the Bright Side

When the kids are complaining
'cause it won't stop raining,
To be stuck indoors just sucks.
Don't let them pout,
Instead point out,
It's lovely weather for ducks!

When you're feeling blue
'cause your bills are due,
And you've got more checks than bucks,
Don't take to drink,
Count to ten and think,
It's lovely weather for ducks!

When you've burned the toast
And ruined the roast
'cause you just can't cook for shucks,
Lift up your chin
And order in,
It's lovely weather for ducks!

When your spirit's poor
'cause your job's a bore,
Your career is at its crux,
Just smile and shrug,
Lots of dough in drugs,
But before your self-esteem self-destructs,
Please remember this bit,
Not all drugs are legit,
And besides that's a business for schmucks.
So stay on the right side,
And look on the bright side,
Somewhere, 
It's lovely weather for ducks!

Premium Member Mine Is the Duty To Scream

Mine is the duty to scream
   Mine is the duty to shout

My country is bitterly divided
   Its Congress can't figure things out

The rich get richer; the poor get poorer
   That in itself's nothing new, but

Instead of seeking to forge solutions 
   Leaders, hateful invective spew 
 
Mine is the duty to scream
   Mine is the duty to shout
  
American's immigration system, broken in every way
   Lurches ahead blindly, ignoring those who say 
 
That vice-ridden schools yield test scores so pathetic  
   Even the heardest of hearts should be sympathetic  

To calls for more charters and increased home schooling 
   Lest Johnny never learn to read anything, no fooling  

While America's safety net is strained past its limits  
   Forced to provide for so many illegals with no stake in it 

Mine is the mandate to shout  
   Mine is the mandate to scream  

Venezuela self-destructs right in front of our eyes  
   As Cuba sixty years ago, it shoud be no surprise 

That her leader cracks down on free institutions  
   And tears up every line of Venezuela's Constitution  

Three millions Venezuelans have already left 
   Now that their economy of oil is bereft  

To the cheers of autocrats the world over  
   Including the leadership of America's Left  

All while Messrs Putin and Xi, in Russia and China, respectively  
   Ramp up their tacit alliance, to bring the West to its knees  

Mine is the call to shout  
   Mine is the call to scream  

~ Though hoarse I've become  
      Pleading to rescue America's Dream

Wash Away

Peace or violence, with humans you never know,
When love will sprout or when seeds of hatred will be sown,
When in humanity & compassion people may find satiety,
Or when the lust to kill will choke up all their pity.

The bitterness in the human heart is like a patch of rust,
More the time you provide for it to go but spread all over it must,
For all the time inadvertently it is exposed & encouraged by all,
Till it begins to loom bigger than the source which started it all.

Peace, harmony & brotherhood prevail in times of trouble,
Which in the company of like men seems to disappear like a bubble,
It is true that in times of need often united they stand,
And peace regales on this Earth as the people live hand in hand.

But at times mad violence destructs this harmony & peace,
Fear & terror of its outcome each person’s face does it kiss,
Someplace this hatred reaps for someplace it had been sown,
And try as you might it never seems destructed however often it is stoned.

But sometimes love overcomes this hatred sown so long,
And love itself sways the people with its lovely song,
And acts of love are done worldwide to make other humans aware,
That love alone may be able to remove all traces of hatred. 

Humanity & compassion exist in traces forever,
But it needs a huge catastrophe to make its presence felt all over,
And then unbelievable acts of humanity & kindness are done,
By risking one’s own life to save that of a fellow human.

However merciless killing sometimes throws away this compassion,
When over petty matters are evoked unnecessary flood of emotions,
When sentiments are hurt over religion, creed & caste,
Their intensity provokes acts that threaten to drain away humanity at last.

All this is nothing but the result of a turbulence of emotions,
That creates a cyclone in human heart with vigor & aggression,
Come rain, come storm; keep only love, humanity, peace, compassion & kindness,
& wash away if you can from this human heart all hatred, violence, enemity & bitterness…

Premium Member Dreams Within Dreams

Dream is a thing flowing thoughts meander to make,
but a thing made is also destined to break.
If rupturing of dream is like splitting
the silence of the dark dungeon of mind,
the vibration of destruction would create 
seismic waves of turmoil in the suppressed soul
that demolish the premise of promise,
the present makes to the future, 
destructs the illusory tapestry of trance,
as fleeting dreams are woven transiently within dreams.

I deprive the dream breaker of the power, 
shatter the sheath of tremor distress makes,
the slices of splintered psyche swirling in despair
collect in the sanctum of soul profoundly mine,
and compose the secret song of sorrow,
the rolling tear drops carry serenading
to the unclosed eyes, so these could see
how dreams break like the swaying waves
on the shore of stark reality where I stand as an object,
rolling in tides of time.

I then become a mute collection
of words made of eternity sands composing no lyric,
nor creating the ballad of Greek tragedy,
for I then lie under the debris of dreams
with life’s fostered reverie that shelters in unreality
the flockless bird I become with broken wings,
in the tempest of time when the sky falls. 

The broken dreams don’t return in entirety,
for I can’t reconstruct their wings to fly
in the recreated awareness sky of my mangled mind,
but time restructures  my dormant desire, 
raise me from the ruins of the past,
and blow for me the winds of hope,
so, I drift to the domain of dream once again,
to find divinity configured within consciousness dreams.

Jesus has shown way
                                   taught us real meaning of life

                                        flash love light on all

                                         love binds together

Premium Member I Want To Know What Love Is - Co-Written With Carolyn Devonshire

I heard the song and wanted to know what love is, so I turned to James
The Soup's king of romance knows it means more than just flirtatious games

     Dedication absorbed with love, for to feel it for the very first time
     The unification of two must gel like words in a poetry rhyme

This, James told me, and we explored the meaning much further
Many types of love, including a child and father

      Family life is important, reciprocation leads the way
      Whether blood, fostered or taken on, it's loves bond that says

We see an elderly couple walking hand-in-hand
This is but one type of love that many years withstands

      For so many fall by the wayside, taking different forks on life's roads
      Where a previously blossomed love has journeyed into destructs corrode

The deep affection felt for those whom we call our friends
Nestles deep within our hearts, a bond that never ends

     This we must truly cherish in a world going from day to day
     It does not matter where we come from, we are part of earths bouquet

Love knows no bounds and is shared with all humanity
One that respects each race and religion’s dignity

Love and Hate

love's nectar 
                                      that always constructs
                                             hate destructs

                                             hate's poison 
                                       not always destructs
                                           rare constructs 

                                             constructive
                                        only if hate's used
                                             to construct

Escape

Loom and doom escapes the rational mind..
Darkness oozes ..
A menace to itself
A fearful mind self destructs
As fear separates itself from logical thinking..
It creates a world of its own..

Where there lies hopelessness
Chaotic events unfold..
Seen through the eyes of fear
Lying on a bed of needles
Pricked by a thorn of a rose
Where rose petals no longer have a scent

When one escapes..
One must return to love
Wipe the tears of anguish
To replace them with tears of joy..

Shackles and chains unlocked 
Freedom gained ..
Burden lifted
Take a breath of fresh air..
Breathe the breath of life..
As the heart is opened to receive love..
A threshold of light illuminates..
Embraced you are..
Held in the loving arms of Divinity..
Lifted you are
Carried by the Divine..

Regrown Strong

You wear me down, slow, aching, pain
Barely moving, dull, refrain
Each word a slice, a cut, a grab
a verbal blow, a push, a stab
this wall i exhibit, uphold, maintain
with no support, nourishment, sustain
breaks down, crumbles, falls, crashes
my exterior, breaks, destructs, smashes
feeling bruised, beaten, broken, battered
i lie in pieces, fragmented, shattered

A face appears, glimmer, glimpse, belief
A reach of faith, hope, wish, relief
Then yours i see, anguish, dejection
your torment, torchure, cruel rejection
i fall again, the end, my last
down and dark, hard, steep, fast
you care not, cackling, laugh, shriek
myself alone, pale, spiritless, meek
striding away, bold, defiant, shameless
off you go, abandon, wandering aimless

you skip away, gone, left
leaving me, presuming bereft
on your path so clear, intent, set
you dont not notice the stranger i met
appeared, unknown, by luck or chance?
his, grin, his air, his quirky dance
I watch captivated, seduced, in delight
no remorse, sorrow or contrite
upward, outward, setting free
he taught, remedied and aided me

all this flight and soaring high
didn't notice you approaching, nigh
upon spotting me elate with glow
no longer following status quo
you twist and turn, in final decide
no longer on clear path will you ride
you'll head to me for confrontation
but i no apetetite for interrogation
belly full of warmth and love
floating, mellow, aloft, above

with help again i built up strong
and knowing you are one in wrong
nothing you do, no scream or wail
can again return me to shy and frail
screech, anger, heat not wanted here
i will not let you hurt whats dear
we will be fine, we'll be okay 
as long as you keep and stay away
places switched, coward now you are
we keep frow your route much afar

Living On the Surface

Living on the surface,
  dinner’s always served at eight

Living on the surface,
  pride forever casts your fate

Living on the surface,
  things always seem just fine

Living on the surface,
  plays an endless pantomime

Living on the surface,
  the church contains your soul

Living on the surface,
  your religion swallowed whole

Living on the surface,
  things never change that much

Living on the surface,
  you can only look, not touch

Living on the surface,
  the wheel only spins one way

Living on the surface,
  each spoke a mortgage pays

Living on the surface,
  love professes in a vow

Living on the surface,
  real commitment not allowed

Living on the surface,
  new doors stay locked and shut

Living on the surface,
  your re-entry self-destructs

Living on the surface,
  your reflection flat and clean

While just below the surface,
—beats the heart of what things mean

Femicide

# FEMICIDE 

This simply refers to the killing of women.
The brutal killing of women with no reason.
It is vicious as it occurs continuously
Hence it introduces pains  injuriously.

It destructs ourlives on a negative way .
Tears , sorrow and hate-in our hearts do stay .
Emotional and mental disturbance occurs 
Yet all female human are in sadness nor happiness.

Why some men are so cruel ?
Killing a women foul
Is it hard to talk competently first ? 
Trying to implant what went incorrect.

Where is humanity ? 
Women are people of tranquility
Dear people ,Let's stand to overcome 
Women are meant for love nor harm .

Femicide 
Femicide 
Oh !! Dear God divulge yourself 
It is truly enough .
