Best Jaundiced Poems

Jaded by the put me downs
Justly feel my facial frowns
Jaundiced views debilitate
Jeopardise my feeble state

The jaundiced eye is yellow -
but not the yellow of sunny cheerfulness or optimism
Rather – the yellow of an alcoholic’s eyes
when after years of feeding his destructive habit,
he is stricken ill and is dying.
Like the bad drunk who blames others
for his miserable condition,
he of the...

With jaundiced eye I look at the politician’s vow
To make our world a better place in four years,
Cure all our ills, and provide calm for our fears,
And I say to myself, skeptically, exactly “How?”

With jaundiced eye I look at those who claim
To be patriots, but...

Fickle movement,
or so it seems;
An old willow bending with the wind.
 
I undulate from your branches, 
both rough and flowing;
An unsuited arboreal life I lead to touch you.
 
Impenetrable and strong is your foundation,
your roots have taken over any vegetation that once lived in this...

Jaundiced Eyes

Jaundiced eyes covet past tense masquerades
In crypts where yellowed brittleness recall bitterness
Where glassy-eyed failures suck truth dry - 
Vampires with addictions
Distorting graveyards at the altar
Of introspection
Like green-eyed monsters
Grasping
At monetary dust of renunciation -
As thirty silver coins of delusion
Smash against a field of potter’s headstones
Of...

jaundiced spiritual heart and mind-


"Bitter am I
Resentful of your lit voice thoughts
Cynical “sigh” is this all you got
My rage is my tumors, enraged is my stupor
Soured my lips poison distorted
As forth in my ignorant I am bile
Running from my here and now
Disenchanted romancing the thought...

bring on narrow prejudice
let us indulge therein awhile
as a game if pretence
as we observe ego guile …

attempting to mislead
essence of our presence
contracting consciousness 
by stifling innate innocence …

earth life offers sharp contrast
varied hues of emotion
wherein we may take our pick
as of our hearts inclination …

mellifluous cooing of the Indian koel 
enlivening in wee hours of the morn
infusing in soul voids deep joy until
crows croak found tranquility shorn

narrow and prejudiced is our vision
discriminating against the jarring note 
condemning without seeking permission 
from heart that unconditional love emotes

moment to moment we...

uninhibited with one
restrained with another 
responses vary too
between brother and mother

if this be the truth
recognising ego is at play
judgment scars innocence 
till love becomes our mainstay...

Deep rooted is our prejudice
Instinctively appraising all
What if God too did roll dice
Bestowed enablements recall

Jaundiced eye rapes and plunders 
Deep rooted is our prejudice
Tarnishing Gods sublime wonders
Plunging soul into an abyss

Do pause awhile to reminisce
Why do we choose to judge and score 
Deep rooted is...

We err and are granted opportunity to cleanse the stain
Why then look at the temporarily misaligned with disdain

"Don't be sad, don't be blue
One test score doesn't define you
You're more than marks, you're bright
Learn from mistakes, shine with new light

Keep calm, stay strong, and carry on
Your dreams and goals are still within reach, Clear 
I believe in myself, don't give up the quest
You'll...

The lizard looks hideous
and rats are not like squirrels,
are our preconceived judgments,
proclaimed everyday....
