Best Destructs Poems
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 -
J.A.B.

Dramatic Monologue
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

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

Blank verse
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!

Light Verse
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

Couplet
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…

ABC
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
to love God love all
best way to see world
as nirvikar eyes of Sun
flash love light on all
love binds together
ego greed hate bring anger
unrest and destructs

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's nectar
that always constructs
hate destructs
hate's poison
not always destructs
rare constructs
constructive
only if hate's used
to construct

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..

Free verse
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,
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
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 .
