Best Except Poems
All and everything can be laid in comparison except Supreme God
life is like
a long cartoon movie clip
not as well done as a Disney
and the universe
is peopled by poor imitations
of cartoon characters
not as monstrous sad or distressed
as the real cartoon characters on the screen
except for politicians
better to be back in black
said Brett Boe
Coca-Cola for coy cat
replied Carla Coe
draw the duck down in dew
whispered Donna Doe
fries feed feisty firebugs
claims Frankie Foe
good guys grumble about golf
implies Grant Goe
hairy hilltops hide hat heroes
stated Harry Hoe
jackal junior joined the jazz jam
assured Jackie Joe
kings kneel before koala
declares Karren Koe
lonely lady lies in a lake
spoke Larry Loe
meanwhile muses moan in mud
complained Martha Moe
never nail the night in a nutshell
giggles Norma Noe
pisco for poor pigs in pubs!
shouts Paula Poe
quite quirky for quag queen
blabbed Quincy Qoe
rebel riders rule the roads
stated Ralphie Roe
only silly ships sail south
claimed Sammy Soe
triple taco tripped on telly
said Tammy Toe
violet violins vanish in vain
confirmed Vince Voe
waxy waffles weep on wire
told William Woe
Yeti yells at yummy yaks
asserts Yvonne Yoe
zig zag zone is zipped and zapped
finished Zack Zoe
except for the clock
candles dance
A shrunken, bitter fruit
dropped from a brittle branch;
the summer rains have passed it by;
the harvesters have let it lie
and Winter stalks the field.
Numb through long days and star shy nights
beneath a void of trackless snow;
dull passersby may never know
the bounty death will yield.

Curse. Rail. Spit.
In short impress your peers
With your modernity.
Sneer. Scoff. Hit.
But naught will save
You in eternity.
taste nectar
in life's every stages
every where
life's poisons
whatever be in
positions
false ego
lengths from inception
so instinct
feel beauty
in sorrow pain with
death even
never ends
no where except God
all beauties
In stealth, you dealt the first stinging blow
A dual edged blade, it cut through my spine
Words of hate flowed effortlessly from you
What did I ever do except love you?
Like poison, your hateful tirade spread
A horrid venom, it seeped through my veins
Brought me to doubt all I know to be true
What did I ever do except love you?
In silence, my heart lay in pieces
An empty void, lost in unfulfilled dreams
Devoid of answers still one question begged
What did I ever do except love you?
God Hates Everyone Except Me
By Elton Camp
The good “reverend” likes to have his say
Against absolutely everyone and every way
His belief is the only one that’s correct
Eternity in hellfire all others can expect
So that it wouldn’t come as a surprise
To speak for him, God did authorize
At least that’s the preacher’s claim
So all others he just loves to shame
Making signs was costing quite a bit
So he produced one that all matters fit
He wrote, in large print, for all to see
“God Hates Everyone Except Me”
If protesting funerals or reviling a gay
He can march, hold the sign up and bray
How much "MONEY" has public "Media Lost" at the cost of telling the truth? How much money has "Facebook " lost at the cost of letting people speak the truth? The truth has been "Fillibusted" and "Sequested" by the crazy people who are the "Domestic Enemy"? They get paid,and they get paid ,and they get laid,and they misbehave. They never report their taxes that remains unpaid!They break the law daily,and criminal "Legislatures"pass laws that are opposite or right,and are wrong,but the opposite party says "Carry ON"!
Did "Facebook" "Loose " "Two Million"866 Billion "Dollars for "Blocking" "Freedom of Speech? Will they try to get what they loss for listening to a person who will not pay his taxes,and cause "Facebook" to take a "LOSS"? "Facebook" is getting ready to use "The Fillibuster" on what has been "Sequested"!!!!!WHO HAS NOT MADE THEIR TAXES KNOWN,BUT WANTS TO BE RELECTED? WELL IT IS TIME FOR THOSE TAX REPORTS TO "REALLY BE "SEQUESTED",AND NEVER NEGLECTED!
There will never
Be sufficient down pour
In washing away your crucial absence
Even word smith falls short in lessening the pain
Primal lesson in contact with you, one is squandered
In treasured troves, expense of your beaded words
Will pay to shine ones soul's mane
Without you life neither was nor
Ever will be the same
The young rich man came to Jesus
looking to find eternal life supreme
but the Lord would accept only
full obedience to be in his elected team
The rich man thought he was right
depending on his good works was enough
but so many make that same mistake
hoping their righteousness calls Lord's bluff
The Lord really calls the shots
his challenge sends the man away
for his heart was still divided
not fully for the Lord not to stay
No one is good except God alone
for only is the Lord perfectly pure
our righteousness is just filthy rags
needing God's merciful grace to endure
When you come to God for salvation
be humble knowing you've nothing alone
cling to his promises to freely forgive
looking to Jesus who died to atone
(Luke 18: 17-22
As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good. But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.
“Teacher,” the man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.”
Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
At this, the man’s face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.)
I like the dark,
The unseen, unknown, the scary,
Except for heights, that you can keep away from me.
I like mystery,
The clues, scenes, the possibilities,
Just not if they lead me to the top of a high rise building.
I like adventure,
Like Camping, kayaking, and hiking,
Just not too close to that cliff's edge, (trembling) I can see.
I like to travel,
By boat, car, or train,
Truth is, I even like planes....
Just don't tell me we're skydiving today.
*Decided to poke fun at myself for my fear of heights.*
We are all equal
Except don’t drive when black.
We’ll get you
It’s our right
We are all equal
Except if you wear a hoodie
We suspect you are a thug
Unless you are white
We are all equal
Except when we see your skin color
and immediately remember
Every person we ever saw who wronged us and was your color
Wait a second.
What if we never met anyone with your skin color?
How can we judge you?
Let me Google this.
I am standing around the house
I hear a loud boom with floor vibrations
I ask if everyone is ok because
I thought someone fell flat on their settee
Everyone says we're ok what was that??
After much investigation
We found that my tire had exploded into shreds
I am considering suing the company
Never used spare tire, only fourteen years old
Should not have exploded like that!!
