Best Dispensable Poems

I am a rock; earth, air, fire and water;
a child of the elements.
I grow and erode; 
my greatest strength is stillness; 
my voice, the silence.

I am a tree, a child of the elements.  
I grow and decay; 
shedding leaves and bark.
My voice is a...

kaisers, kings, emperors fight for territory
  dispensable bodies left in the ground on foreign soil, unreturned
  militarisation of memory and folly
  an Irish nation half-wrenched from a bloodied and wearied empire
  red royalist hands command the northeastern corner
  southern civil...

It was apostolic tradition that the Church discerned writings
To be included in the list of Sacred Books
This complete list is called the canon Scripture
It includes 46 books for the Old Testament
45 if we account Jeremiah and Lamentations as one

The Old Testament is dispensable part of...

I AM YOURS AND YOU ARE MINE

On the journey of a thousand miles
What keeps me going are your thoughts
My heart is very fond of you
Told me its difficult to live without you

Together we built blocks of compassion above the sky
Painted the world with the colour...

If We Don Need Um-Why Feed Um
 
We do not need to feed -

Having surpassed the ides of March. 
Denounced the the baneful glare.
Yet my grief befriends Sanity.
Doctrine of hate preached from
Pulpits and podiums.
Marathon of the arms race.
Humans of another race are dispensable. 
Creation of art in flesh and blood.
My heart is compelled to dwell.
In poems that rhymes...

North eastern whistling through papyrus banks					
Emanating  streams  are from forest Rwanda					
Collecting reserving ever controversial					
No propagating ,Lake  Victoria real natural source					
We are from the source of Nile					
					
Summer rain blessed over mount of Ethiopia					
Seasonal worship prolonging to Hapi.					
Egyptian farmers awaiting the blue silt					
Obscuring barriers...

“It Came in Our Dreams”

The Others 
watch on,
somewhere above us.

we, ant like
form our battalions
soldier ants 
with no substantial sting
repelling reptilian 
brains in flight
striking our oily deals 
sliding into our nightmares, 
acrid smoke, bee-keeping our hives
we strike, in routine formations

they count 
our worth.
our number 
measured
in what...

I work for things deemed sensible
and avoid the junk dispensable
while seeking what's appreciable
to learn just what's achievable

while backwards reprehensible
where everything's disposable
and all that's left that's savable
is garbage that's recyclable

So say a prayer that's plausible
and hold mankind accountable
to keep your faith believable
that there's a God perceivable...

The Great Escape

Perched on a rooftop terrace in glorious sunshine he watches ahead
Floats on his sky looks inwards and ponders the magic path unravel
                     ...

With history profusely we are gathered
Dispensable to the frenzy of power
For bright morrow a few is withdrawn
Seen, though to full length but yet at brim

Though carefully scattered in columns
In rows of lies we are kept
Like the whirlwind promises are released
A pendulum about we are made...

Do not be mistaken by the black feathers upon my chest
I am the mediator between life and death
Do not be fooled I am no omen
I have come as your ally not as your opponent
Do not begin this game of chess
until your adversary begins to manifest
For...

Does the utopian human not salute, 
The ideal person, right and sensible?
Which psychologists can easily foster and describe,  
In certain personality models which are not dispensable? 

The utopian human stands to beg, 
The question posed by psychologists, 
“What is your character and personality?”
Their good...

They say, in the end, that family will always be there.
I have learned that this is a lie...
	If for Any reason you are NOT ABLE,
	Then FOREVER you cannot.
They say that family is unbreakable,
	If you ever need help, they're dependable.
		Family is valuable.
		Family is reliable.
They say that...

Each day
Hangs on a thread
Of uncertainty that
Tilts on a fragile, weak balance
Moving to and fro from darkness to light
Light to darkness, chaos and death
All seem dispensable
As the thread frays
Each day.
