Best Infighting Poems

The allure of mused poems,
No longer visits this nonchalant psyche.
It trickles now, once a roaring torrent
Now a lazy stream

Am like a desultory jaded heaven
Where starry jewels once decked the night,
But are now drossy shadowy blackholes,
And sparks and dreams, 
Are ripped in the accretion disc.

No longer...

‘Hey stomach,’ says anus,
‘Would you cut the crap.’
“It’s not me,’ stomach says;
‘I won’t take the wrap.

It’s what they’re eating,
So blame teeth and mouth.
I’m innocent,’ says stomach,
‘For that filth down south.’

Brain has a good laugh
At organ expenses,
By prodding infighting
Over false offenses.

‘Are you kidding me,
You two dumb...

Remember it just like yesterday 
'Twas the sixth of August, independence day
Manley called the election, Busta took the drive
New nation at UN assembly, Jamaica arrived
Topsy turvy, hurly burly, brick brack, nick nacks
All this wondorous excitement
Ever child get a present
Me get two 'cause my plum friend...

A ghost began whispering inside the soul's echo 
there one Trojan horse enters defeated 
spiritually the battle ground stands firmly fixed 
against those whom denounce the King 
misery will follow with disastrous events

Where human rights are exploited through chaos
quarrelsome beggars deny the basic truth to...

When you're in the womb
You are measured and assessed
When you are born
You are measured and assessed

As you grow each month and year
You are measured and assessed
When you go to school
You are measured and assessed

When you have a job or career
You are measured and assessed
When you...

Christ prayed His disciples all would be one;

Twas the night before Christmas…
…And I finally sat down,
After last minute shopping, running all over town. 
Deciding to rest now, I opened my phone
To visit the Soup and read a few poems.  

As soon as I pulled up the  soup’s website,
My home disappeared...

The world is weary,
weary of the fear but 
afraid for the future.
Political campaigns
ugly and growing uglier,
airwaves choked with
insults and outright lies.
Hate thrives and turns
friend against friend.
The Covid pandemic lurks
in wait outside our doorstep,
invisible, threatening health
and possible death.
Masked people shy away
from one another in stores.
People isolated...

confined within the only light
the crushing dark surrounding
we hold together for the best
corruptions cries are sounding
behold compounded human might
untiring in our righteous fight
confined within the growing light

confined within the growing light
holding firm and strong
we find in others strengths and faults
and things for which we long

ABIDING IN THE STAGE OF PEARLS

When first we met,
Red paper hearts,
Sailor-Clipped,
Arrows piquing interest.

He saw three O’s
In a bonnie row,
Ripe for the picking.
He chose Friday
And she chose a prince.

Aladdin, a rough diamond
Would shake the snowglobe.
I’m dizzy in my knees.
The earth spins, like
A roulette wheel, with
Many stops....

Erlenkönig also pushed forward the idea of the Council of Six.
Which was a wonderful idea in theory.  The council eventually became the
most powerful force in the Elfin Clans, one representative from each of the Clans to make decisions for all of the elves....

Out with infighting and lack of general respect,
Let’s restore our Congressional reputation
Rank partisanship and grandstanding
While padding their own coffers, I expect!

Let’s rid ourselves of all the current trolls
“Let’s throw the bums out,” it has been said,
Not a one of them worth saving, I suspect.
Better off...

We struggle through life for worthy causes,
and ofter times, it's much too great a risk
to outlive those hardships and come out victorious,
but it's infighting that we regain our lost strength.

We build treasures and find in them no pure happiness,
never undaunting courage, only acknowledging disappointments
and the...

       Gus got all of those who were allowed to attend 
and "available" settled in around his big oak table. 
He even put in an extra leaf to accomodate, 
so there was enough space to keep from 
slap fights...
