Best Insincere Poems
(Co-written by my son for a school assignment)
I punched my sister
in the stomach
to try to retrieve
my goldfish crackers
She cried like fish droppings
because her stomach hurt
then the smell of vomit
heaved upon my chest
My apologies spilled
like her putrid crackers
I'm sorry
I didn't punch her in the face instead
6/10/20
I apologize profusely that you broke my heart
And I apologize profusely, you decided we should part.
You refused to take the blame
For playing the adultery game
So it must have been my fault that you took up with that tart.
for the humorous side of Barbara Gorelick's "Apology Accepted" contest
Deep in the shrine, sins
Deep in the courtroom, injustice
Deep in the costume, exposure
Deep in the constitution, lawlessness
Inside the adulthood, puberty
Deep in motherhood, breastlessness
In the paternity, womankind
In the smiles, sorrowfulness
Inside the forces, idleness
On the holiness, sacrilege
For the oaths, hypocrisy
In those appeals, bendlaws
In the beddings, no siesta
Deep in the dreams, nightmares
And in love, hatemongers
In friendship, betrayals
Deep in charity, parity
Inside volunteers, opportunities
In the nations, stations,
In the stations, nepoties
In a professor, knowlessness
In the schools, copiers
For the democracy, demos
Inside the hopes, pessimism
He still haunts my dreams both night and day
My bruises healed but the terror still stays
Numerous Flash backs of being used
So I wrote a spell just for the abused
Crocodile Tears of the insincere
Wax gathered from satanic ear
Hair from the head of a narcissist
Tongue of a falsifier, add snakes hiss
Breath of a psychopath is needed next
Blood of a fraudster to forge this hex
Beard of a coward cut at midnight
Hacked off by a witch before she takes flight
Pages from a self-help book
read by the abused now boil and cook
Now comes Saliva of a deceiving man
Toe nail clippings from a charlatan
Now stir it well , add blackened tooth
speak your words , tell your truth
Close your eyes and recall it well
Recollect his hatred and Feel it swell
Mix it now from left to right
Remembering his vicious spite
Take a breath let silence sing
Now let his own medicine ooze within
Was you love insincere game?
Did you play to make your day?
Did you realize yourself?
Satisfied your interest ?
Did you care about your turns?
Was your plan to be so cursed?
What was price you sell yourself?
Simply you did cheapest deal
What for me? I will survive
Even though I want to die
I will live my longest years
To forget your crazy things
What for you? You lost a lot
Never will you find your love
You will spend your longest years
Just pretend to have happiness
Insincere
Be you so insincere,
You fail the quest of time,
Here for a reason? No? do not hear,
Once again doing naught sublime,
Immortal at the end, by death,
Reborn new mortal whole,
Learn the truth, don’t get rich, uncouth,
bring filth to burnish the soul,
Let your spirit bright, enfold the night,
Keep the human beast under control,
Your place right here, unknown to steer,
But spiritual of soul,
Truth and honesty are here to hold,
Be ye so insincere, this time,
As in the days of them of olde,
Re-punished 4 many crimes?
Don Johnson
A lot of things are said in jest
But hearts are hurt none the less
Oh, to crawl back in your shell
Save yourself from heartache’s hell
Being naïve does not pay
Sarcasm just comes your way
Only meant for a good joke
If we’d thought before we spoke
Now it’s too late to make it right
We changed someone’s day to night
The hurt the pain and the shame
Careful playing that word game
I thought we’re meant to uplift
Maybe I don’t get the drift
I sure hate words insincere
The false ring just brings a tear
There is a God up above
He looks down on me with love
“Play with fire, you get burned”
This hard lesson I have learned.
Eileen Manassian Ghali
Did you say you are sorry, my friend,
With a genuine feeling of humble contrition,
Or was your “Sorry about that!” a means to an end,
To change your ill-considered, untenable position
Without regard for my miserable condition?

Powerful rhetoric
converts passionately join
dismay in future
I lugged emotional baggage.
But none tried to help me unpack.
tribute to a departed soul
as protocol demands
a forum to connect
with relatives and friends
murmuring insincere nothings
oblivious to the widow’s tears
inaudible
sorry excuses
the apology
