Best Imbalances Poems

What playground does not hold the magic lure
Of see-saws firmly braced upon their stands?
What child resists excitement, felt for sure
In ups and downs: the hard thump when he lands;

The surging thrill of bouncing up again-
To know that when he's hit that lowest low,
It's followed by...

Hey, my name is Aaron and I am kinda a modern day superhero

Now I know what you’re thinkin’

Okay, this guy? A hero? Like with powers and skills?

Nah but before you think further hear me out.

Yes… I don’t have money like Stark or Wayne

I don’t have...

She questions her life..
She questions her mortality..
She questions her immortality..

Curiously seeking for answers ..
Of the unknown..

Who am I..
Why do we rise and fall..
Why is there pain..
Why is there suffering..

Imbalances exist in a perfectly balanced world..
Earth is beautifully balanced..
As she spins gracefully..
She is in perfect harmony..
Her...

See-Saws  -   (First Poem posted on PoetrySoup, 08/04/2014)

What playground does not hold the magic lure
of see-saws firmly braced upon their stands?
What child resists excitement, felt for sure
in ups and downs: the hard thump when he lands
and surging thrill of bouncing up again?

I hope I know what is healthy sex,
in an experiential kind of way,
and a trans-biblical swell known sway,
and I can imagine a world with healthier,
more cooperative, politically empowering days,
but I am clueless about healthy religion,
which most of my friends would claim is an oxymoron,
like military...

The mechanical components, the valve that pumps my heart 
The reactive nerve endings that serve a sensory stimulus 
The tear ducts that latently only lend lubrication 
The silly little practical necessary body bits, pieces and parts 
 
I yawn & it reminds me…  I...

What is this period, which illustrates the weak motions 
of dull blades, and misguided swings?

I am an unfortunate imitator, as the fearless edge I once 
owned, has faded prominently among the flock as well. 
It is not the passion which is forever stuck in the...

How was school today?

Fine.

Did you learn anything important?

Maybe. I'm not sure yet.

Really? What are you considering?

We talked about Howard Odum's natural trinity
of altruism.

Maybe I skipped that day
way back in premillennial times
before Permaculture Design had taken over deep learning development.
Who is Howard Odum
and how does his...

Spare a thought
For buffaloes, bulls and bears groaning, mourning, starving
Under your collar don’t blow hot
Making rivers and rodents sad, carving 

Space and time you don’t own
Encroaching on privileges animals and plants possess
In their comfort and discomfort zone
You dare to distress and stress

Best to minimize the...

Our topic for this morning
said Professor Glory
to her sleepy class of bicameral scholars,
is "Attraction v. Addiction to Peak Experiences."

Addictions are wanting more than attraction therapeutically invites.
Addictions suboptimize the Peak outcomes they promise.
Unlike the continuous resonance of attraction,
addiction alternately satiates and subsides
as felt "need" grows increasingly...

"For only in imbalances we feel
             the balance that keeps life on even keel."

Takes the form of a human, but an animal lies beneath 
for what are we anyway 
escapologists from the caves and trees
Maybe we’re special, intelligent, if still a little dumb 
Have we not outgrown our purpose to breed and thrive 
Humans need satisfaction, a journey,...

Yes We Can © 
Sophie Boswell

Let’s paint America purple, by mixing red with blue
Let’s rebuild this mighty country, with a different hue
By using our integrity, instead of weakness and greed
Why don’t we help one another, and all those in need?

Yes, we can; yes, we can
If...

Injustice

Imbalances run.

National humiliations undergo.

Judicial abuses attack.

Unjust discriminations shine.

Structural imbalances run.

Terrible outrageous glimmer.

Imbalances glimmer.

Cruel oppressors shout.

External imbalances walk...
