Best Dilemmas Poems
Shadows of Moral Dilemmas
Something lugubrious lies lurking
Inside every human being,
Preventing us from reaching
Our propitious potential.
It follows us from cradle to grave
Leaving no one unscathed
In the ever-present shadows of moral dilemmas
Within the cavernous reaches of our hearts and minds.
We struggle unceasingly with this tug-of war
Between wrong...

Dilemmas of V DayI no more can find
That word I had kept in mind
For long to tell her.
Few know: it’s not just
In love that the test comes first
And lesson later.
Nor, love is journey,
No station to reach any,
And it puts them off,
Love’s to give, not get
And cannot be...

Cruel DilemmasCool drops of water fall upon the rock
And slowly carve their way toward the sea
Much as existence, hastened by the clock,
Unfolds its wings, undaunted, soaring free.
Strange fancies yearn to take their flight and leave
The pit of slow, monotonous decay,
Though human will must bear its...

Moral Dilemmas.Moral dilemmas.
I quiz and pursue resolution to my dilemmas,
My life and Its little hiccups.
My father, he protected yet
prepared me for life’s journeys.
So the day came, I flew the coop
And he thought, he had taught me well.
But the real world and my presence in it
It bought...

The Monster's DilemmasThe monster in bed, calmly he would lie,
Knowing he would die on thirteenth day.
Seeking freedom, he just could not find,
Freedom has left him, slavery filled his mind.
Being alone, he was blind, he could not see,
That the world didn’t even want him to be.
With his simple...

DilemmasI did something, I thought of something.
Some processes were set in motion.
Now I’m wondering. Now I’m thinking.
I consider an impact of Heaven.
What was made by chance, and what was not?
Some of my reactions were instinctive,
Some of my actions had to come from God,
Some work...

Cruel and Friendly Cloud DilemmaForms most enormous seen from our earth,
Dwarf the tallest, the grandest of mountains’ girth.
Magnificent spectacles rounded up in the sky:
Sculptured foam, floating frothy, towering high.
Black ominous clouds of malevolent breadth,
Funnels of doom, destruction, and death,
Whirling and wheeling, zigzagging tyrants
Twisting down alleyways, roaring in rants.
Scalloped and...

LightSometimes I need light.
Sometimes we,
sometimes everyone needs light.
In the dark and the damp of rooms,
of feelings, of thoughts
and of our lives that flow,
we need light from the window,
from the open door, from the open spaces
under the open skies,
and then we need some lights...
