Best Galvanize Poems


To Live a Day Safely

To live a day safely in a city
where citizens must be echoes
and human rights are a fairy tale
but you want your mouth not pinched
your ears not pulled by anyone
or coconut not to hit your head;
a lemur you should be,
the big eyes not to miss coming danger
Live as a donkey-
the long ears to detect dangerous footsteps
Live as a giraffe -
the long neck to enable you see horizon
live as a tortoise
the hard shell to safeguard you
from falling debris
Live as starfish, colored, without brain-
brainless to avoid reasoning,
as this is a taboo
Live as turkey- dumb, foolish-
drinking water only when it rains
with no heavy demands for rights
Live as a gazelle-
take off fast when things are unbearable 
But do not exist as mosquito-
you will annoy brain-workers there and,
you’ll be hunted down with  clubs
Do not live as a dog- 
always foolishly present in waiting,
loyally carrying out dirty errands 
your back will be broken with kicks
Like mother Pandas, brain-workers in the city
care about feeding only on bamboos,
can kill offspring by rolling
on them without care!
A bamboo be not, a child panda be not,
a mosquito be not at any moment
Galvanize wisdom and courage with
alloys of foolishness and weakness
if longevity is to build shelter,
in your courtyard.

Being Alone

Only my soul see the seasons when I am alone  
Wearing the camouflage of a mocking frown, 
The frock grows longer when I am on my own
Serene Emblems of clouds sparkle in my crown.  

When the whole realm of close friends disappear 
The eyes within my heart became black and blue,  
Misty springs waltz through the atmosphere, 
Gave the world no sign of the solitude I knew. 

Just as fear is anxious about reasons for doubt   
Floating dreams struggle with truths to enjoy,
The normal part of existing life breaking out  
Trying to run away from emotional ties of memory.
  
We remain esteemed strangers within the walls   
Of the challenging places where we sit alone,
In painful zone listening to our own distant voices
Playing calm tunes to replicate our delicate form.    

The forlorn glands of pride were soiled and sunny
Indiscreet fears bunched and bungled together, 
On every phony feeling awaken inside of my tummy 
The voices of loneliness own every defining hour.

Shared on the long road of Independent demand 
When good friends are gone, we are left alone 
With opinions to ponder as strangers in the land, 
Reaping galvanize reforms to leave the tragic union.

Premium Member Enough Is Enough - In Bernie's Own Words

I’m running for President
But this time I’ll win,
Without our dear Hilary,
That caused such a din!

You’ll see I’m the man
The one they need beat,
Whatever they serve
For breakfast I’ll eat.

I’m steeled for the task
My lungs fully primed,
To galvanize crowds,
Their passions to wind.

Remembering lessons
From last time around,
I’ll pummel my colleagues,
Right into the ground.
My passions undaunted,
No weapon too harsh,
They won’t know what hit them
As they spin out and crash.

Let not thoughts of age,
Nor leanings too left,
Fool you to think
I’m no longer that deft.

The other old man
That’s now in my sights,
May as well pick his grave,
As I read him last rites.

So just watch me work
As the contest unfolds,
For when I but sneeze
Others catch colds.

Raindrops Dance On Rusting Sheets of Galvanize

The thunder roars
The lightning flashed the wind is strong 
And raindrops dance on rusting sheets 
Of galvanize

She clung to me, trembling and cold as the
Thunder roared with anger and the lightening
Struck, its violent brightness illuminating the
Old barn, illustrating the glittering wetness 
Of her soft silky skin, she jumped and I held 
Her close

As the lighting struck again I saw her eyes
Telling me she felt protected and as the rain
Drops danced on rusting sheets of galvanize
And the winds try to sent this place to a 
Cruel demise I kissed the sparkling raindrops 
That rested on her beckoning eyes

As the favor of her breast rest against my 
Chest its protruding firmness sending waves 
Of fervor through the corridors of my being 
My hands explore the sculpture that is her
Body, touching her in every special place
She trembles speaks not a word but holds my 
Face with adoring grace

As we lay amidst the bales of hay, I taste the 
Liquid of her mouth now one with the lingering 
Drops of rain and I feel the pulse of her parted
Thighs the oneness of bodies now in rhythm 
With the night

And as the heavens opened and the thunder
Roared the winds blow against the old cedar door 
and in the soggy moons light 
Raindrops dance on rusting sheets of galvanize 
And lightning flashed as if taking snapshots of
Time as it stood
It is that moment she says that she knew of
Motherhood

Wily

Sneaky Pecore the Weasel
plays political games
until shadow puppets
dance on fabric walls
for petty amusement.

When wrangling for more
he can't ignore the power
of crisis to vault him up
as savior once through
diminishing his rivals.

If news runs slow,
fear must be promulgated
by self-inflicted wounds
to galvanize matters
along a spectral line.

Once contemplated as
manipulation, he'll parade
his family to garner
sympathetic sighs
seeking humanity.

Only when confronted
does his luster tarnish
behind arrogant grunts
hoping to motivate
retreat or surrender.

The day runs short
for Sneaky Pecore's ways
as people demand
more than dramatic
posturing for points.

So he calls upon
fellow rodents of the globe
to clamp a suffocating lid
on the wills of those
deemed inferior.

Until such machinations
drift on currents of indignance,
I shall always remember
that once credibility gets tainted
all words from liars disappear.

Sunflowers and Butterflies

What a demonic way to demoralize?
When a player's most prestigious prize
is the pure pie between tender thighs...
these seeds are not for fools to fertilize.

What a lascivious way to liberalize?
When girls use skimpy skirts to advertise
their wares for freaky flirts to fantasize...
You are taunting them to tantalize.

What a gruesome way to galvanize?
When milky mounts become merchandise
for poor pedestrians to patronize...
their tools get tempted to terrorize.

What a marvelous way to mordernize?
when sisters learn to sensibly socialize,
and men's tools are trained to tranquilize...
sunflowers and butterflies will fraternize.

Follow Me

Follow me into a place where we can be free
Where we can flow like the waves of the sea
Distant from anything else reaching limits of the unknown
Listening to the symphony of splashes thats reciting our favorite love song roaming wild passing deserted islands
Settling, Building, Nestling close together in our home
Follow me under the cascades of this secular strain Adhering to my soul
Withstanding the tormenting pain that these times unfold
Follow me when my self-worth and self-esteem is dampened Making me feel like the finest quality of gold
Even when I grow old
Follow me up this spiritual mountain Ascending us to greater heights Defying all the odds
Inciting righteous strikes
Follow me, Follow me, Follow me
Even when difficult situations occur
Let me lean on you as well as you on me
When were dropped in the pot of hot boiling water And confusion begins to stir
Follow me through my illness
My weakest moments
When Im feeling like I cant kill this Kiss me, Comfort me, Hold me
Tell me you can heal this
Support my immune system making me feel the thrillest
Galvanize my goals putting them in motion Accelerating all of my formulated notions Deposited talents into the chosen
That the resurrected gifts has arose in
Follow me

Unlimited Access To Success For All

God on my side
Guides my path and controls ripples
That endeavor to sneak astride
Initiatives I take in triples

To galvanize and utilize my talents
To the fullest in concordance with the Creator’s specifications and intentions
Cooperating and collaborating with kindred souls God crowned as consultants
To bring about the realization of innovations and inventions

Which stand humankind in good stead
As rat race dies and disruptive ventures
Diminish to extinguish malice from the homestead
Where foes and friends bury the hatchet and embark on conducive adventures

From which I and souls in my life I accost
Work towards common goals and promote goal congruence
Ensuring we achieve unity of purpose at the least cost
Building bridges across different perceptions to influence

The course of events in which neither winners nor losers
Feel they lose face thus embracing one another
As members whose demand I tolerate boozers
Praying that they perceive me as a brother

Whose intentions mean to build lives
To bless the lost, caress the stressed and distressed
Ensuring that chives and sharpened knives
Hobnob with one another as they grow well versed

With interpersonal skills and display unusual tact
In dealing with one another day and night
As they build and rebuild trust to make contact
With the best assets within their souls to kill plight

Praying for one another’s growth
One another’s success
Taking and keeping the oath
That ensures one and all to bliss they get unlimited access.

Our Political Participation

I've come to say a few things about our political involvement,
Important is this because our future is on the edge of  precipice,
And is dangerously tilting irreversibly towards enslavement,
If urgently not arrested we pay the unholy bitter Price.

How easily a people once astute and meticulous,
Got swerved towards the edge of political escarpment,
Punders sane mind, so absurd and so ridiculous,
Though it be inflicted by  unnegotiated  predicaments.

Then make I bold to interrogate and not to despair,
To investigate, scrutinize and not to speculate,
Prescribing solutions so simple and so straight,
Least I be misjudged and suspiciously at glared.

Despise not that which I say because of its simplicity,
For truths, real truths unadulterated  are always simple,
And need not be subjected to unwarranted duplicity,
But be accepted by souls learned and simple.

Is this predicaments not caused by lack of participation?
Was it not caused by poor political permutations?
Are we not plagued by lack of proper political calculation?
When against action we choose unfounded speculations.

Have we not indulged so much in self aggrandizement?
Have we not taken the destructive path to political oblivion?
Have we not despised the Zikist ideology and movement,
When we choose "sit at home"  in every election?

Refused we not to galvanize 20 million votes for our leaders?
Have we not disdainfully despised our leaders,
And make it practically impossible to organize us?
When we claimed that politics is not for us?

What else on the negotiation table do we bring,
Except the uncalculated threats of secession?
What if on the table 20 Million votes we bring?
That would grant all our interests protection.

Oh! What is he saying? Does it really matter?
All we want is our freedom from this contraption,
Their political system is bedeviled with  corruption,
So we do not want to get involved in their matter.


In the final analysis it does not really matter,
What the political system is - whether it be perfect.
We do not need perfect political systems,
We need political participation that's perfect.

I say this one and I cease to say no more,
I Say not everything for want of time and space,
But that we participate even as we continue to ask for more,
As people of peace who for others set the pace.

Premium Member Coffee House

He used to rise before I wakened,
to galvanize the coffee pot.
Then as enticing whiff assailed me,
he’d bring it to me strong and hot.

He knew my love for that dark brew
and how it helped me start my day.
I can taste it still, the one he brought
just hours before he went away.

Now that I have been left alone,
no one will bring it to my bed,
so it is set on auto time
to start it brewing now instead.

It is the one alarm I need
to waken me at morning’s dawn.
My memories help to sustain
and that rich brew still turns me on.

Sojourner's Plea

Hep me, as ama dope

Heal me, as ama infirm

Free me, as ama shackled

See me, as ama mirra

Clothe me, as ama barenekkid

Galvanize me, as ama stubborn lak ‘crete

Betroth me, as ama sangle and goatish

Subjugate me, as ama crossgrain fool

Rebirth me, as ama gassy cawpse

Retool me, as ama ‘nachronism

Reassess me, as ama second-chancer

Retype me, as ama ruff copy

Stigmatize me, as ama beyond reproach

Rekindle me, as ama waifish speerit

Redirect me, as ama arra awry

Redevelop me, as ama shutterclick naaghtmare

Hunker me down, as ama foxhole ‘bloon

Tatiana Needed Support To Come Out

Lil' Tatiana her stomach like butterflies,
Could not speak in public, had doctor analyze,
Prescribed taking lessons and try to improvise,
Instead, the butterflies started to colonize.

Insecticides were used by helping euthanize,
It did the task but still, she could not vocalize,
Her parents told her story so to advertize,
Many had read it and started to empathize.

Experts arrived and the masses did galvanize,
For now, they concentrate just keeping localize,
They trust that this way it will help to minimize,
And help her focus, what is best to maximize.

People she knew made her calm and help sensitize,
The experts aware there's a need to emphasize,
That her mental status best needs to stabilize,
And bring to bear her priors and visualize.

Raising her mettle, edginess will stabilize,
Obstacles aside will help her to verbalize,
The lower her fears fulfill and not traumatize,
So the need to practice and do more exercise.

She is set and on her ways, all will recognize,
Placed all her thoughts and energy to harmonize,
That her realm attractively has gone neutralize,
And she will be good to come out and stabilize.

Her folks were talked out of it to not publicize,
The audience did come out and desensitize,
The conditions and all have her epitomize,
Her Shakespearean reading, a soliloquize.

Premium Member Interlude

Written: October 10, 2023 
There is no bee without the sting; cleverness consists in gathering the honey nevertheless. Sathya Sai Baba

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the thick of a human tumultuous storm.
Among the rhythms that ceaselessly swarm
There prevails an interval, a peaceful interlude.
An instant of silence, filled with peaceful exudes
 
A respite from the frantic pace,
An intermezzo in life's busy race.
In the intimacy of this instant, desrcy solace.
A fleeting interlude, a precious space.

A balmy sigh of bliss, a breath of fresh air
All dilemmas dissolve, akin to placid prayer.
Zest hovers motionless in this interlude.
As we unleash and pour our woeful mood,
 
The world around us fades away.
As we immerse ourselves in this intermezzo play,
A while to ruminate and discover our core.
Our spirits can blithe in this pause on shore.

A heaven of equanimity, a peaceful state,
Where trammels and troubles dissipate.
A lapse of respite, a gentle reprieve,
A scope to heal, to descry relief.

In this interlude, we decry clarity,
A respite amid the insanity, a fleeting rarity
A spectrum to galvanize, redeem our strength,
To corral balance amidst life's immense length.

I will utterly cherish these intermezzo breaks.
These are the times when our souls awake.
It is in this burly epitome that we desire peace.
A break from the humdrum of constant lease
 
Thus, just relish these intermezzo pauses.
And let our minds rejoice in miraculous causes.
Not everything in life has to be a mad dash.
But also with ushering in canorous times to hush.
