Best Marks The Spot Poems
Monstrously Machievellian
Demonic pedagogic
Ominously Orwellian
Demagogic logic
Fools’ Musk-ovite mules
Zuckerberg zeitgeist heist
Dickensian dystopia rules
Google last post bugle
Fossil fuels myopia drools
Bellicose Bezos blows
Bro-ligarchy mates’ malarkey
Unions demonstrate
Amazon defenestrate
Hades Gates hierarchy
In the dock
Murdoch foxy skulduggery
Poxy TikTok runs amok
Crass puns..shock thuggery
This lot don't give a jot
.
Bitter sh**ter Twitter
Greedier needier seedier
The death of mass media
X marks the spot!
Once a year, it's the season, I fear
That lures us three, to the loch
Were we rent a boat, in earnest we hope
To catch all the fish, that they stock
McGee, he was rowing, I told him, "Start Slowing"
For here, looks like a good spot
The anchor cast in, by our big strong friend, Finn
I'm just glad he remembered the knot
It didn't take long, we were hit by a throng
Seemed like, every dam fish in the lake
We all wore a grin, while we pulled them all in
'Cause we didn't have time to use bait
When the Day was done, so was our fun
As our boat was filled to the brim
I fumbled about, and pull up some stout
As the Sun was now getting dim
As we sat their all drinking, Finn started thinking
I wish we could find our way here
Or mark this grand hole, so we would all know
The place we should fish, come next year
That's when McGee, said "I know the key"
Then produced a piece of white chalk
"I'll mark on the bow, the place we are now
So next year we'll know we ought !
Finn then gave in, as he said with a grin
'It's your Genius, McGee that I fear
But how do you know, as rentals will go
We'll be getting the same boat next year"
X Marks the Spot
It’s the 19th consonant, 24th letter, of the alphabet,
A Teachers’ markings, for wrong answers on a test!
A Greek numeral representation for, the number ten!
An unnamed or unknown, person, place or thing,
Used to remove or cancel, a word of unnecessary need,
A movie rating to discourage viewing, by unsuspecting teens!
It’s an algebraic exponent used in mathematical computations,
A place holder in the PEMDAS test, to eliminate confusion!
A pictured symbol for the word “cross,”
Ballot markings “yea or nay” or “win or loss!”
Signature representation of ones’ individual best
Letter ending expression, sealed with a Hug and a Kiss!
XOXOXO

X marks the spot,
And stars mark the sky,
And a heart marks my unconditional love for you.
X marks the spot
Where a young child had stood,
Enjoying his friends company as only
A young child could.
X marks the spot
Where the child laid dying,
Medics there to save his life,
Desperately trying.
X marks the spot,
From which the crowd were kept,
The child’s mother who broke through
And uncontrollably wept.
X marks the spot
Where the ambulance came
The police taking measurements
Photographing the stain.
X marks the spot
Where the piles of flowers were left,
Where the moving tributes were made
From those now bereft.
X marks the spot
Where the funeral procession slowed
Where a community’s grief
In rivers now flowed.
X marks the spot
Where the young child was struck
By a man on a mobile
In charge of a truck.
X marks the spot
Where a quick call was made
The cost of this phone call,
Extravagantly paid.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of wine;
Your heart will be mine.
You will make me walk the plank;
Because on your love I can bank.
Me heartie, I be coming for you.
Brave a cutlass battle, through and through.
Secret isles we will go a-sailing.
Give me another kiss, never failing.
Land ahoy, here I am looking for your treasure.
A map of your heart is my only pleasure.
I will find ye, that will be my lot;
Because X marks the spot.
X marks the spot, the darkest stain, when man slew God, born King to reign.
No other blood could pay the debt, so lamb hung punctured while mother wept.
X marks the spot, where on deaths best day, life seemed to lose, hope fade to grey.
But it is finished, all heard Him sigh, was no resignation, but victor's cry!
Death defeated by its own sword, slain by love, by Son for world.
X marks the spot, I lost my sin, nailed with my Saviour, interred within.
With Him was burried, in Him I rise, no more my sin offends Gods eyes.
X marks the spot of gospel story, His flesh, His blood, his risen glory.
So until He comes from realms above, we'll take this feast, proclaim His love.
Not to be forgotten
Never to be peacefully laid to rest
Memorials for the fallen abound
They are reminders that
Pull at the heart strings
And make everyone think
Of the shortness of living
An irreversible loss that can never be regained
Nor allowed to be forgotten
Is marked for posterity
Street corners and roundabouts
Are enshrined with flowers
Tributes to those
Loved but always taken so soon
Away forever they have gone
Often without a goodbye
A solemn sight they are
A constant reminder that
Life has as its constant neighbour
Death
Him that may not control our destiny
But reaps a harvest must selfishly
Some are heroes and soldiers
Fallen in battle
Some are innocents occupying a grave
When needed by a loved one
All are visibly mourned
And lovingly remembered
A plaque
Or an abundance of flowers
Draws the eyes to
Linger over a spot
Where death called
And was always reluctantly let in
To have lost a brother or sister
A friend
A husband
A wife
A much needed companion
Is often to feel loss so great
No remedy can soothe a hurt
So wrecking
And all consuming
Memories are all that are left
Pilgrimage to that place of ending
Always causes grief anew
As you remember what was lost
To be remembered is
To live almost for ever
Past the drawing of a last breath
Extinguished often unfairly
In our palace lives a bot
Quite a finicky task it has got
Thrice daily removes every single spot
from the royal server -- the '10-2-4' teapot
Our bot makes that teapot shine and sparkle
in case you-know-who returns ~ Ms. Markle
He thought he knew me oh so well
Every inch and flinch and swallow
But as time passed I realized
How empty unfulfilled and shallow
One sided love is torment
When he doesn't have a clue
Faking is not my forte
What's a girl to do?
I have told him time and time
Where the magic lies
Whether booze or lack of brains
He just can't get it right
So now I have decided
To purchase a black pen
And each and every jolly spot
I will mark with an X for Him
If this does not work
Than kick him out the door
For what's a girl to do
When the man is just a bore!

My memory, Is a site inhabited
By a few shallow graves,
For no painful matter have I interred,
That Satan doesn’t periodically excavate it.
He’s like an aging dog, digging up old bones
Even when I displace to another location,
He shows up marking an x on the spot
Give me the person with burning desire,
And you can have the one with talent.
Tom
Spoken said
Verbalized declared enunciated
Given aired voiced
Brought out whispered
Proclaimed commented
Blurted breathed broadcasted
SPOKEN
Asserted affirmed promulgated
Spoken truths and untruths
Advertised where am I to be casted
Publicized overwhelmed subdued demoralized
BROKEN
Talked discussed uttered thrown up despaired
Vented broadcast gasped phrased up and out
Broken
Snarled shot ripped (out)
Silently diverted screams of dispersions’
Vocalized shouted articulated denounced
SPOKEN
Shared passed announced Be it so,
Spoken is the broken speech at naught
Alleged ventilated averred formulated
Drawled avowed
Doubted Be it so, spoken is the broken
BROKEN
Vocalized shouted articulated denounced
Shared passed announced
Be it so, spoken is the broken speech at naught
Broken is Spoken
Quiet marks the spot

Question marks the spot on my heart
like... why you told me i love you
i didn't ask....
Question marks the spot on my heart
like... why do you kiss me so passionately and then...
shoot me death's look in the next hour...
Question marks the spot on my heart
like...why do you keep toying with my existence at all
is it just to cause me confusion...
Question marks the spot on my heart
like... what do you truly feel about my existence
do you hate it?, or do you really hate it?...
Question marks the spot on my heart
like...do I really love you?, cause I really don't...
I just can't answer the question...
X Marks The Spot
The Spot us as colored been striving to reach
Mitigated
To ascend at the top of the peak
To take what's rightfully ours as humans
Taking our share of necessity in Life
From being nothing
To become an important part of our
Nation
X Mark the Spot
To be unknown to our own identity,
So we adapt to their living and surroundings
Only to be left Identified as Minorities
To be vexed in the worst ways by law
But still We rise to being the brilliance of our dominion
Future
