Best Keeling Poems
HealingWhen you’re sick and you are reeling
Since with symptoms you are dealing
There is nothing more appealing
Than a “How you feeling?” note.
For while sickness has been stealing
Hours and days, it’s been revealing
Just who cares; there’s no concealing
Who forgot to cast a vote.
As your body starts its...

For the ChildrenOn the brow of manhood I bore you
Dreaming of a successor to my throne
Invested wind and echo full of dew
Native prince, that was ever all I own
Knowledge and experience to make
Wealth out of nothing, like stars do
Aggregating gas into a jewelled lake.
Knowledge with a good...

Hope Yes We CanHope yes we can: a target in the vision of the horizon
Offering here new possibility to embrace omnipotency
People are the motive force of truth, gate to halcyon
Emanations of eternity - the eagle exploits a new history
Yearning unshackled its wings o'er citadel in white disarray
Empowered by...

A Punny DeathA Coffee Merchant was the first man to find,
The corpse as he started off on his daily grind!
What he saw filtered through, so he had grounds
To send for the Police, to investigate what he'd found!
He’d found the corpse lying by the side of a well,
It...

AbioticThis is not life
Façade-glossed eyes
Spilling out
Keeling from inside
This is not
What I traded for a pay check
A calendar space
Insentience
This is not dilated pupils
Suggestive smirks on long open nights
Sidewalk flocks through the blinking city sights
This is antithesis
A nihilistic spectacle
Handfuls of myself
Slung at some meaningless backdrop
Of tedious, grievous...

Where Are You, Lordcrumpled scriptures, idolized whores, broken down doors, decayed floors;
it is doubtful Jesus planned on this when he bought Moses ten commandments from the local convenient store
no, I believe he wanted something more
but the Devil said, "To Hell with it, burn it to the core"
as he...

Love Is EternalAn old man keeling down by a gravestone
cleans the inscription so it can be read.
For it’s a symbol of why he had come
“Love Is Eternal” was all that it said.
Wiping a tear, his expression glazes
sorting out memories he swore to keep.
And then he began to...

Curse of Miscalculation Dkhe was not dumb
but he struck his thumb
now he was dumb-struck
and screamed jolly good
his hand in plaster
and bad luck his master
he could not drive his truck
to bide his time
he drank some wine
set out to repair the computer
but there had been a looter
and thus without...

Triumphant Leaders Part 3Toussaint they dance in Louisianna, and New Orleans
Omitting to say that these two places are blood money paid
Unto the colonies, snuffing your revolution by any means
Subtle French diplomacy that history would parade
Solutions of lies in the revolution that Crispus made
Afro-centric leader, pioneer liberator, O...

Good-Bye Fear!Fear is just a feeling
It isn't worth then keeling!
Focusing on it will produce stress
Seems like God will curse instead of bless
But you have to make it through
If you don't try your life is blue!...

Aging RegretsThe sponge of years has sucked me dry of youth
a million tears I've poured from pain untold
there's no reprieve for one who's long of tooth
contrary is the stage of getting old.
The dustcloth of my world is weighted by
grey burdens from too many years of dirt
no...

Prevailing DepressionWho could truly understand
That dreadful lonesome feeling
Only I can really comprehend
This forlorn emotion coursing through me
Help! for the voice of vitriol is sinking me in despair
What will be of me, when the hour hand struck five?
Tumbling so fast, on rocky ground...
