Best Forerunners Poems


Premium Member An Omen of the Taste of Twilight
Vanished

the wild magic of this place;

this wilderness I now roam alone
as its lifeblood seeps 
into 
Afterlife

..my mournful howls
across time and distance
go unanswered -
Oh, how I long to join again
in my brethren’s song..

fading sunlight falls in slivers
through boughs of evergreen needles 
across timeworn trails I tread...

Under the Father Land
UNDER THE FATHER LAND
 We serve under the father land
 In huminity we render 
 Selfless services in cosmopolitanism 
 In peace-less and troubless downtown   
 We inhabit as national stuccoers
 With the aids of the bourgeoisies
 Starvation, annihiliationists and insurrectionists
 Famish the...

Child Labour
"CHILD LABOUR "
Please do me a favour ,
Ruin the acts of child labour;
Soft hands which have to take pencil,
You classify them under worker's council;
Let's pump the education in mind,
Train them to innovate ideas they need to find;
Everyone once go grocery shop,
Somewhere any kid working under...

'til the Philosophy
For days we mount white stallion, 
going westward,
far from the black stone path
The beast pants, 
but carry on 
with fire in its eyes
New shoots down-trodden in the channel

I taste the straps on forerunners 
deep beyond their dermis, 
way pass the dark transgression 
we obtained, 
yet...

This Soothsayer's Warning - 2018
Dire prognostications 
(terrestrial inhabitants blithely heeded)
with contemporary age
fortune tellers foretell day of (w)reckoning,
sans total mortal kombat annihilation

when human (and many) other innocent species
(stalwart cockroach adept to survive)
pitch headlong toward critical limit stage.
That eleventh hour fast upon mankind,
(as Earthlings speed headlong)
on a bee line irrevocable debacle
portending...

Escapism
I remove my glasses to blur my view, 
of my disgraceful face, that’s painted a strange hue.
Reality peers back at me, from the bottomless
shallow mirror, 

My self peers back at me, 
with disbelief, regret and horror.

I remove my glasses so that I cannot see, 
that...

Awfully splendorous fallen-leaf paintings on landscapes!
Ultra momentary changing of sky colors and shapes!
Trees, true forerunners, paving paths for the winter princess!
Umbrellas bidding farewell to the summer-rain messes!
Munificently mesmerizing multicolored Morns!
Nebulous fogs knitting knotty nets in nocturnal noons!

Images of the Past and Present
IMAGES OF THE PAST AND PRESENT

Old men like Phil, Howard, Kenny, Walter, and Gaines are forerunners of the past.
They walk with canes now and are in blazers and slacks.
They still talk game about equity.
They state they will die in their identity.

Gaines is the one I...

I Had a Dream When I Was Young
I had a glistening dream when I was young
Bright as an orange on October tree
Near as the horizon on the rim of the sea
Sweet as mango sweating in the grass
Clear as the crystal of the hour glass
I had a dream when I was young

Caught in...

Tomorrow May Never Come
We are all forerunners  of Christ
Created with a definite purpose in life.
We shall all die someday but
What would be the benefit of he who 
Made us in his own image and likeness
If we all die and perished in sin
Turn then away from your iniquities.
Tomorrow...

Recluse By Dint of Circumstance
Recluse by dint of circumstance

Proud anonymous troglodytes 
forerunners of mine
confronted threats less horrific
than forty fifth commander in chief
of United States of America.

He/him (matted hair, ratty, scrawny, 
and tetchy ugly villain)   
scurried into dark recesses of hermitage
averse to cavort, frolic, inure himself
into the duplicitous...

Premium Member Righteousness Exhalts a Nation Proverbs 14:34
"Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people." Proverbs 14:34. Both Socialism and Communism have atheism as their very own state religion! And the USA is definitely on the brink of establishing Socialism as its newest form of government. Its dictators...
