Best Duty Poems

Our duty................

God not only create a man and a woman 
but also their duties towards mankind along with that
Men and women meant for one another and
live together in truth and love.
God loves anyone who serve one another in difficult times
We must be honest with our...

With the morning begins my day;
Different roles I'm ready to play.
Again and again I am perturbed ,
But nature and emotions are undisturbed. 
Silently, without a word, all needs I suffice;
Day to night, unsaid unconditional sacrifice.
What do I gain from all these duties?
Deteriorating my health and...

My personal view of MY own poet’s duty
is to write for folk who are not too snooty

Poetry ‘experts’ may look down their nose
at the simple poetry that I compose

When I read a poem I don’t want to wallow
in archaic language that’s hard to swallow

I like...

I don't show it, but sometimes,
I slip into the serene sanctuary
of a sound slumber, and I arrive
in dream with feet rooted in 
the peak of a hilltop that
overlooks the masked shadow of 
human nature, and allows me sight
into the depth of a spirit.

A poet’s duty’s to herself,
To translate what she’s thinking
From random gut reactions
Into words that merit inking.

Her purpose doesn’t thus depend
On anyone’s opinion
For on the page, her choices form
The core of her dominion.

She is the queen of all she writes
And bows to no one’s censure.
Her pencil...

I have a duty to the form
for in the past it was the norm
to insult the queen and king
with lyrics for peons to sing.
A mix of words to sting the beast
that fed upon an unearned feast
and fueled the tattered shoeless class
inflamed old fires from their...

What a precious gift to be a writer
to pen poems of beauty
to be able to create a new form
to write of love and life and nature
of war and problems in this world
of death and grief . . . .
it is a gift we poets...

I went straight from High school into the service,
I was feeling proud but extremely nervous.
My mother cried with tears of joy,
she said, “I will try to stop referring to you as my little boy.”

I arrived at Basic Training with a bus load of candidates,	
we were...

I don't look at the judge. I just look at the jury.
I don't look at the defendant or the defendant's attorney,
nor will I look a the prosecution assistant and or district attorney. 
I will listen, not look at anyone giving sworn oath testimony.
As a juror...

The ballad most widely known
In Bhutan, a heroic tale of Tsewang Tashi.
Like the hero was selected to go 
for the battle, so is he chosen to go for war
without armor.

Without armor? 
would be your question.
Don't be astonished, for the war
is not against other worlds, neither...

You have a right to speak your mind freely,
and express what’s important to you,

and do what you must to speak the truth.
Also to protect those who would speak out,
even if with them you do not agree,
because if...
