Best Dictums Poems

TWINFLAMES 

Obsidian oscillated into lava
     slid across syntactic streams
        tumbled thick greenwood thickets 
           impenetrability an intricate illusion wicked

We were born into tribes
cinctured by bonds and praxis
welded by ambits and dictums
an eyeless chasm.

But scope...

On par to manage joyful course
Approach to live without remorse
While dictums of insanity
Are grinding spars impaling me

Perchance to light upon derail
The most melodic harmony
The rest express to no avail
Irrelevant profanity

Experience of life prevails
Experience no sailing smooth
Pause to enjoy a hilltop fair
The valley comes, despair resumes...

That soft-spoken Sovereign commands a big stick, 
runs the world into ruins, once our bailiwick.
If asked why, He grins grimly, pale lips slightly pursed:
"Vindication? Straightforward: It's Me and Me First" 

(To mesmerise people He needed a spell
and to wreak such a rune, His soiled soul...

On nights of distress, he embraces me and states I am not his hostage.
I am beautiful and must be kidnapped.
He longed for my touched.
His characteristics enthrall.
Captivation is not fought.
We dance into the sunset as lovers.

We lived in an African hut built at the bay of...

A bit I have travelled, in the cities of this world
Each with a history – a tale that can be told
Through the lens of the roving tourist’s eye
Who often does, with some wonder, sigh

As an ancient tableau in a busy modern street
He does - camera-ready...

OUTSIDE

Sun awakens from its sleep 
stillness of the day uninterrupted
morning rituals call
hold to momentary pause.

The mirror speaks,
an epiphany.
Its quintessence brought forth so true
prior existence but a dream, deep unconscious.

Such ***** speech proclaimed;
Othelo’s troubles yet persist
this dread now orbits secret self.

Two reflections to bare,
one more true than...

I feel deep sadness for the sullen and morose,
For their lives are wallowing in dissatisfaction
Unable to experience “The Lightness of Being,”
Aligning themselves with a disgruntled faction
Clutching tightly to every slight they’ve ever felt,
They throw verbal barbs like pagan poison arrows
To wound whoever lately has crossed...

The Belgian masters of old
gave in to the devil's wish,
offering Tutsi blood to
fill the Hutu tribal dish.

Wretched souls hacked asunder
killed in the shadow of fear,
corpses soaked in crimson blood
yet, the world shed not a tear.

The presence of God's church was
absent from the bloody scene,
hidden from...

Eagerly joining the nation's martial order,
Becoming Uncle Sam's itinerant boarder,
Pledging to defend my country's border,
Against foreign malice and internal disorder.

Callously disregarding my own personal ambition,
Carelessly abandoning familial bonds and social position,
Caustically enlisting in the my country's latest inquisition,
Cheerfully pledging to defend abstract values without condition.

Forthrightly...

Dropping my heart to the level of oceans 
Once reflected living in life and memories of  adore,
Your hibernation drove my seasonal moods
And mesmerized my loneliness because
You were the only hope of those days,
With wich your height and width was unknown 
Like the dimensions of...

The Court Historians'
official dictums
of special reports
and minor fiction from
deep in the archives
where they've been
resting with other lies
besides these, and other
generally accepted deeds
have just been released
for "people consumption" now
that the donkies have been appeased
and truth into lie
and lie into truth
have rendered history
spin-city legalese....

Let this decade of 2020
Be the decade of plenty!
May we all sow seeds,
Of many good deeds,
Not for personal gains,
But to relieve the pains,
Of many human victims,
Of bad political dictums,
Provide the basic needs,
And free educational feeds,
To our suffering brethren 
And their deserving children!
In this large fabric...

Against wild dogma and feathery wit,
Shall your sound idioms and wisdom
Outshine fickle folios of mortal sages;
Proving verity in its irrepressible form.

Your arresting dictums shall outshine
Obtuse hallowed tomes devoid of life, 
Which erudition’s minions kissing die;
Sepulchered beneath self-spun strife. 

Each revivifying line a failsafe dose,
Curing the...

It appears as if 
the world has been 
coated by a wave of 
deceitful dictums,

an appeal of mimicry shines
