Best Modern Times Poems

In this new world, the reality of insanity
Elicits frail morality, losing deep values
To cuthroat urbanity. We thirst for quick fixes
And dismiss gentle formality although life
Grants humanity its spirit’s wholeness—
How can greed and power allow us to ignore
Kindness, simple vitality borne from Hope,
Our birthright amid mundanity?...

Kein Klagen hilft mehr 
Kultur erleidet Schiffbruch
Moderne Zeiten

Leer die einst vollen Kinos
Und Stille im Theater



No laments will help
Culture suffers depression
In these modern times

Empty once fully occupied cinemas
And only silence in the theater



No clamor ayudará
La cultura sufre la depresión
En tiempos modernos

Vacío una vez llenos cines
Y sólo...

By the soul, and That which shaped it and inspired it
[with the capacity to distinguish between] lewdness and God-fearing,
prosperous is he who purifies it, and failed has he who seduces it.

Brothers love their sisters and remember
As the leaves of a...

The Corruption of Modern Times aka Colonization of the Sacred

There are traditions
Passed down in ear-whisper lineages
And Dead Sea scrolls
Dream journeys and alien visitations
These are the timeless traditions of the soul
And as such have remained safely outside of time
In little...

Living a life so utterly blind
In deep recesses of the mind
Male or female who's to say
So fluid in this day and age
One's assimilation is what they claim
No identity is one to shame
So many choices in modern time
Like a new born kitten don't be blind
LGBTQI exists...

arrows of summer breezes
midnight streams galore
bubbling brooks
in me you got your hooks
i thank God for you daily

in peace with you astounds me
the excitement within the warmth of you surrounds me
hearing the water flow
i spring into rejuvenation
i thank God for you daily

the ocean breeze is meant...

Being bigger, better, faster, stronger
These modern times, a far cry from
Being saner, kinder, gentler, wiser,
Are a cancerous race to satisfy the insatiable.

With our advance into abundance
We have lost touch
With the old world
Of tradition, balance, moderation, restraint.

Instead we now have all that we dream,
Each of us...

There was a Jewish man from Andorra
Who singed his rear end on a menorah
   Sparks flew to his feet
   Providing this treat
He sure danced one mean Chanukah hora

  A menorah is the special Chanukah lamp lit for eight nights

Modern Times

Universal truths or Universal Studios?
Can one distinguish any longer now
That the Universe has shrunk to a
Binary system of code,
Arcane enough to keep most believing
In a higher power, that is
	until
Brown-out causes
Questioning 
	albeit fleeting like light, like
fliker of a dying cathode ray
	the modern equivalent of firefly,
A...

Past and Modern Times

Once over Capital Confederate Flag was flown,
And over the years my curiosity has grown;
Center of attention was war fought long ago;
What about all of this by us should we know.

Questions went over and over in my mind;
Answers to them always hope I...

I’ve got a secret
I’ll tell you that it’s true
It’s not something I regret
But it will be a surprise too

The papers will want to hear 
A raise of your TV ratings it will bring
It will be something they will fear
I will say the nasty thing

The more...
