Who's in charge here?

Can't they hear us?

No ear, perhaps!

Who’s in Charge Here

Alas, past poets hid their angst
stored it in poetic banks
deep vaults nurtured and then fed
the hearts and minds of those who led

a revolution
harsh
and crass
that shouted
you can kiss my ass.
I shall vent, and roar
and laugh again
at all your rules
“Hallmarkian”.

and then I’ll  smote...

Who’s in Charge Here?


Rules obscure the boundaries
of nothingness.
Migrant marauders seeking
mindfulness
narrow the funnel’s
outflow
squeezing the contents
to slow-flo.

Purity of thought denies
mind’s murky masquerade
smiling faces mockingly
engage in lie’s charade.

Pencil stalking
stark white sage
suppressing passion’s
white hot rage
encage the wrath
of poesy
declare such lusts
all heresy.

Blindfolded poets
ever-night
a string-less freedom
seeking kite.

GOD DID NOT DIE AND LEAVE YOU IN CHARGE

God didn't die and leave you in charge.
Who told you that you could decide who lives, and whose to die.?
Stop trying to take lives that you did not give life to.
God didn't die and leave you in...

WHO'S IN CHARGE?


Backseat drama
has crossed the line?
Do not cave!
YOU are THE mama!
They don't behave?
Just one more whine
you must be resigned
to drive them home, to bed/pajamas!
Then, enjoy some time to have the wine
you crave!

Sometimes I take a walk 
Down Pioneer Road
Destination lookout post 
Hoist my own colours  
On that white flag pole
To let them all know 
The master's in residence

Settle in the boss's chair 
Look out over the ship yard 
And pretend that I'm in charge
Mine is...

IT'S NOT GENIUS, IT'S INSANITY.
FOLLOW ALONG AND KEEP PACE WITH ME PLEASE.

I TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT. 
WHEN I LAY DOWN MY BODY TO REST AT NIGHT.

I LEAVE THIS WORLD TO BE ALL ALONE.
IN SEARCH OF A MOMENT I LIKE TO CALL HOME.

Bear no grudge to anyone, nor fear man’s puny wrath

Who makes the thunders roll, or quiet it’s rumbling sounds
Who breathes the breath of life, or takes it with a word
Who makes the winds to blow, or calms the troubled seas
Who fed the children of Israel...

( CHILDREN IN CHARGE )

We must be getting desperate
For people who can fill the ranks
Of doctors, lawyers, police,
Even presidents of banks.

When I was young, these pillars
Were imposingly mature.
Now it seems the practice is
To pick them younger every year.

If I were in charge of the world,
I'd cancel apple sauce,
Sunday nights,
tomatoes, and also needles.
If I were in charge of the world,
There'd be pink skies,
purple grass,and
chocolate rivers.
If I were in charge of the world,
You wouldn't have brussel sprouts.
You wouldn't have meatloaf.
You wouldn't have broccoli.
Or bad...

"If I Were In Charge Of the World"
Kendra D. Eggleston

If I were in charge of the world
I would cancel harsh words,
feeling tired,
rules, and also drama.

If I were in charge of the world
There would be warmer nights,
Healthier thoughts, and
Goals and promises I can actually keep.

If I...

No matter how the election
turns out this year, just remember
God is still in charge.

No matter what the
world may think,
God is still in charge.

We may think we
run things, but
God is still in charge.

Man does things his
way, but
God is still in charge.

Man breaks the law
and gets away...

Who’s in charge
14/08/2018


Confusion reigns supreme,
As my alter takes the reign.
Like a character in a meme,
Whos repetition drives me insane.
Just who’s driving this train ?
This train of thought so inane !

Thoughts are so subjective, inanimate,
Yet this subject lives its own force.
This passenger is now an ingrate,
Oh...

He ran up the telephone pole,
He did not tell us why.
He stayed there all the whole day long
Though, to talk him down, we tried.

He sat there and he meowed all day.
It was a pitiful sight.
We begged and pleaded and offered treats
And cajoled with all our...

God I am forever awed by you
Of your power
Of how you are in control of all things
Even when we don’t understand it
I just have the vision of you
Standing there looking at us
Smiling
Yes you are in control
What are You up to Lord?
We would never know
But we...
