Best Modern Day Poems

this boy - 
he is mythology
he is the pomegranate sitting in persephone's 
palm - 
(looks can be deceiving)

this boy - 
he is a mirror
can show medusa what heaven really is - 
how pain really feels 
but medusa never looks 

this boy in the sun -...

A Pharisee was fair you see,
Because with the resurrection they understood.
But the Sadducees were called “sad-u-see”,
Because they did not believe that the teaching of 
The resurrection was any good.
Both groups were very pompous you see,
And thought they were better than everyone else on the scene.
And...

When conjuring up visions of witches,
people might think of a broom or black cat.
The scariest ones, though, are b*$%#es
who wear normal clothes and not a black hat.

Here is the tale of a witch - modern-day.
She had two small sons, but life was a bore.
With other...

My heart raged like a black sea over shore;
 then anchored he in the depths of an unsure land,
a bleak morrow trickling from the neck of an hour-glass
unto the bottom of a slave - ship. 

I breathe in the stench of whipped pride,
at sun set...

A  modern day peasant, I am
Cause the $money$ all goes to the man
Pay a few bills
Buy a few frills
And don't forget old Uncle Sam...

My wife and I are in court and we're being tried.
She and I were the modern day Bonnie and Clyde.
But we didn't rob banks, we stole by identity theft.
When we got through, people had no money left.
She lied in court when she said that I...

You respond to the call twenty-four hours a day,
you lock up criminals, showing them crime doesn’t pay.
You make our communities and neighborhoods safer,
our chances to live peacefully are a whole lot greater.
You risk your life by simply wearing your uniform,
but risking your life daily is...

If we had a modern day Superman, he would not survive
He wouldn't be able to keep all of us alive

His identity would not be a secret, it’ll be all over Facebook
And our Lois Lanes won’t give him a second look

Changing in a phone booth won’t...

A wicked heart blinds the eyes and steals the soul's redemptive growth
A corrupted mind is never forgiving and hates a tender smile
But because there is an abundance of joy built in strength
I see my fellowmen as humanitarians and as friends

I am the modern-day Bob Marley...

A certain beautiful little girl was standing
In a Midtown Manhattan CVS store
Where crowds had gathered to shop late in evening
She was of Oriental descent standing there;

I saw her, admired her sweetness and let her be
I just stood near her side such a small child she...

Useless functionality,
Loss of practicality,
Robbed of all vitality,
Is today's reality.

Everywhere I look and see,
People live in poverty,
Everyday technology,
Failing to provide the key.

They deserve a better life,
Free from hunger, pain and strife,
Modern living's filled with blight,
Death and sorrow's very rife.

Everyday brutality,
Loss of one's morality,
We prescribe neutrality,
Modern man's...

She works sixteen hours a day 
unfortunately she has no pay,
forced by her traffickers of evil  
non compliance,  expect upheaval,
she accepts chores through fear
emotions turned off, sheds no tear,
she’s forced to humiliate and shame
herself,  so feels that she is to blame,
her only...

Meet My Robin "Hood"

"Hood" being the key word, the 
man who is a saver of souls 
lacking passion and adventure,

Robin "Hood" swept me off my 
couch where I had grown roots, 
eatin' chips n cookies n 
icecream,

Watchin' re-runs of Atlanta 
housewives and sex in the...

I could write a poem about heroes,
Heroes who fought the great war.
About men who have died
With their friends by their side,
Never knowing what they were fighting for.

I would rather write about heroes,
Heroes we see everyday.
It's the battle they fight
From morning until night,
From a virus that...
