Best Deterrence Poems
A sadness appears
on the face of a nation
as tears fall like rivers a’flow
Midst rubble and death
with dreams slowly shattered,
where blood coats the fields draped in snow
So gallant they stand
to the war machine charging,
a serpent of heartless desire
Their bravery shines
like the flames unrelenting,
their world inundated with fire
A leader’s decree,
there shall be no surrender,
our lives will remain on this ground
Till peace be our prize,
with defeat not an option,
eternal this courage is found
A formidable foe,
bearing breath of a dragon,
deterrence shall not be thy gain
With strength one and all,
we shall battle this demon
for we are as one, oh Ukraine
Frozen ornaments
with fierce tears
Swallowing the lie raw
Life's fake comedy
discomfort and deterrence
Prefer the stories - grisly
Soon everything we know will rapidly be changed
Into an unfamiliar landscape and a worldwide shooting range
Guns pointing in every direction and at every town
No inspections will be allowed and best not show a frown
Orwellian decrees are issued, as government is a fail
False leaders arise; resorting to trickery and blackmail
Threat of war becoming constant with each passing day
Hot weather rapidly increasing evaporating countless lakes and bays
Electromagnetic pulse use likely; these weapons we do store
Thoughts no longer of deterrence, but of all out war
In a flash, atomic weapons destroy all that we have and stand for
Man still is searching for an out, but there is no escape door
Extreme earthquakes continue shaking the earth down to its core
Sadly, all of this must occur; to allow true peace to return once more

With a little bit of inspiration
I encourage you
To expand your imagination
Because this will allow you
to broaden your horizons
So that you can explore without limitations
Because it will give you the opportunity to
do
everything that you have ever wanted to do
And that includes doing things that you have never
done before by avoiding the deterrence of hesitation
I aspire for a flight of magnificence
though the words at times reek of innocence.
Yet striving to create a renaissance
in form which will not require penitence.
I boast of overcoming pestilence
in manipulating verbal reticence
to overcome loathing of quiescence,
which in a sense is the essence
of any poem of mental brilliance.
Aspiring to poems that soar in evanescence,
a luminescence of fluorescence in abundance.
The presence of acquiescence a deterrence
to obsolescence of obeisance in appearance.
The absence of pseudo credence and conformance
to the quintessence of acceptance of senescence,
in poetry, assures defiance of decadence,
and a deterrence of annoyance in articulence.
Yet the arrogance of old heads holds coalescence,
the decidence of some form’s discontinuance.
The annoyance and inconvenience of their defiance,
keeps their belligerence in convalescence.
Their exaserbescence akin to adolescence
in nature, they think obstinance is a virtuence.

When life is full of ruefulness
You should turn the other cheek
Let go of whatever has gone wrong
And try not to be weak.
When life is full of tribulations
Please don't give up on hope
Put aside your frustration
And find a way to cope.
When life is full of deterrence
Don't listen to what you are told
Disregard your fear and anxiety
And take a chance at being bold.
Lying to myself,
I am determined and strong.
I’ve got to think clearly,
But I know I was wrong.
When the pain subsides,
It comes back in force.
I’ve got to see the future,
Let fate take its course.
Hearing your voice,
Is a bittersweet occurrence.
A sadness grips at me,
A tightly wound deterrence.
I’m caught looking to both,
A bright future and a misguided past.
Torn between times,
I don’t know how long this will last.
Memories come flooding,
Followed by imaginary thought.
Some good and some bad,
But will it all come for naught?
Remaining optimistic,
At least a portion of my day.
Reverting to pessimistic,
No matter what I can say.
I’ve no reason to doubt,
All the things she says true.
An animosity’s touch,
Keeping me from you.
I’ll see you soon,
How will it go?
I love you to the moon,
But this you already know.
I hope to see you smile,
I hope to see a sparkle in your eyes.
I hope there’s an ignition,
So our fire never dies.
What’s left is some embers,
With a hope of tomorrow.
I hope I’m not too late,
Able to cast away sorrow.
I know all my misgiving,
My past unfortunately true.
Though I’ve got to keep living,
Hopefully one day I’ll have you.
I am nothing and I am common
Does doing something new means a difference?
Becoming well known and uncommon
Perhaps an only lifetime were meant for deterrence
If we climb we will fall
No going about any other way
Why do we ask for more?
Is it because... we cannot find the way?
We listen and we try to follow
Are we not listening to oneself hard enough?
If we're listening... why isn't the bad we borrow?
Is it cause the good in us all will people laugh?
I will not run... I will confront
I will not hide... I will dispose
Living means only... never done
Trying only means... never close
Have I done something to make a difference?
When I did... do I become uncommon?
Is there a whole world to make that interference?
When nothing I am... only to be common
If it were to be foe, I could bear it; He was my friend;
Why should he betray me? In public that too; at the end;
I kept him aside like a bone separated from meat,
Avoided the rarest of places where our shadows might meet...!
Public bus burning case of nineteen seventy seven,
Had peculiar facts and fancies fermenting like leaven;
My sister and brother-in-law had engulfed by fire,
Leaving their only son survived of all dangers dead-dire...!
Those survived, like the escapees of great Titanic wreck,
Claimed for compensations; wherein my nephew, little speck;
With me, as his advocate sought his mother's ornaments,
To give him as right of inheritance and sentiments...!
My friend, defendant, established as though it's an urchin's,
No doubt, our relation, like drought-cracked earth, got deterrence;
I worked hard to look-after my nephew; to make him great,
He's an entrepreneur now; I felt, I had won my fate...!
I wanted to know, why my friend did it for me; for what?
You are always for your nephew - he said- who is for that...
Friendship should be understood as loving service he said,
I understood; cried and embraced him; all differences shred...!
Could I call this forgiveness, yet? No. This, indeed, is love.
Has loving my friend, any limit? Love comes from above;
Giving and taking and supposed agape has its limit,
Doesn't forgiveness of less forgiven cross all summit...?

With tendencies towards modes abhorrent, I operate
Hone deterrence to deserved carnal pleasure consolidate
Intentional extension of potential paths provoke
Libidinous grasping of bliss platter's swift revoke
Elysium eviction accepts anguish for apple crisp taste
Impaired paradise jags a vagabond, journey's ardour
Want stimulates striving, stiff splinter of suffered strappado
Harvest achieved after toil has farmer famished
Indebted unto a sliding spiral, subsided vanquish
Sacrilege accounts for devious mortals' imminent waste
Pain prescribed for impiety wraps breath in challenge
Embarrassed to decay, by greedy big ego enchanted
Rid of Eden's pardon, shield of shame, always disgraced

Obstruct Heaven
A Tribal Tricolour President
Welcome Lady President of hills
Unknown to world; till other day
Miracles happen in a flash
Just as Draupadi in Mahabharat
Madam Draupadi enters Raisina hills
Leaving tribal land to adorn a royal
Throne in Rashtrapathi Bhavan
Reserved for First Citizen of India
Dedication and noble services
Is all she needed; to be airborne
Conviction with determination
Put her flight right on the Milky Way
Challenges, tragedies, hardships
Deterrence: none a set back
Sincerity, simplicity to the core
Only service to community held
Background didn’t matter;
Neither skin, nor colour nor race
The wicked folks did despise her
But patriots all put their hands up
She was picked by a Shepherd PM
And murmurs happened aplenty
Yet Murmu was peoples choice
And rest is all history now!
Across a nation of divine beliefs
She meant a lot to her tribe; yet
Her country needs her most
To make all traitors shy away
The First Lady is calm, collected
Full of promise and intellect
With fair and firm reflections
Imposing, confident and loving
A lady as Supreme Commander
Meteoric is her rise to fame
Big, brave and beautiful as ever
Her journey was that of Comet!

The essence of poetry is expressing one's mind.
Able to freeze what's happening at that given time.
Everything seen and heard in the course of a day.
Should be scrolled on paper or digital highway.
Each life experience is a lesson to be taught.
To teach generations to follow the safest route.
It is a good thing in momentarily stopping time.
To document misgivings for deterrence down the line.
The death penalty, a practice rooted in antiquity, continues to evoke controversy and ethical dilemmas in modern society. Despite its purported role in deterring crime and administering justice, the death penalty stands on shaky moral ground and should be abolished for several compelling reasons.
Firstly, the irreversible nature of the death penalty is inherently flawed. In a justice system prone to human error, the risk of executing an innocent person is ever-present. Numerous cases worldwide have revealed wrongful convictions, highlighting the fallibility of judicial proceedings. Once a life is taken, there is no recourse for rectifying such a grievous mistake, perpetuating an irreversible injustice that stains the fabric of society.
Moreover, the death penalty undermines the fundamental value of human life. By sanctioning state-sanctioned killings, societies diminish the sanctity of life and condone violence as a means of resolving conflicts. Such a stance contradicts the principles of compassion, rehabilitation, and forgiveness, which should underpin any civilized society's legal framework.
Furthermore, the death penalty fails to achieve its purported goal of deterrence. Empirical evidence suggests that the threat of capital punishment does not significantly deter individuals from committing heinous crimes. Instead, socioeconomic factors, mental health issues, and systemic inequalities often drive criminal behavior. Investing in preventative measures, such as education, poverty alleviation, and mental health services, would yield more effective and humane solutions to reducing crime rates.
Critics argue that the death penalty provides closure to victims' families and serves as a form of retribution. However, vengeance should not be conflated with justice. Studies have shown that the prolonged legal processes and endless appeals associated with death penalty cases exacerbate the victims' families' trauma, prolonging their suffering rather than offering closure.
In conclusion, the abolition of the death penalty aligns with the principles of justice, compassion, and human rights. By rejecting this antiquated and morally dubious practice, societies can move towards a more enlightened and humane approach to criminal justice—one that prioritizes rehabilitation, reconciliation, and the inherent worth of every individual.
Immigrant bodies pile up in Texas
After building a wall from ‘freedom’ glass
Green card for hard labour
Slave on dearest neighbour
Watch your companions expire en masse
