Best Modernized Poems


Buoyancy Burden

While I was searching a book to read in my old school
Today maybe changed somehow modernized,
There were lot of rooms,
With many of the destitute instant of books.
Anyway, however, I was swerved..
This is my own school why should I hesitate…
The swot ..like swingle …
You’re my SCHOOL.. Swivelled on you
Who could have changed you like this…?
Distorted…
I am completely distracted..
At least the basement may be kept..
I went on to search into, the basement
My goodness, my school, everything distorted…
.. recasted ..
My sweet heaven you distorted, I am distracted..
I want to see the smile of the portia’s yellow flower..
Where is the doorway? And door steps of margosa?
The premises, the sun kissing ground..
All for me unseen world?

There is suddenly landslide:
Divination , there is my teacher pulling me out, digging
The landslide that covered me, the teacher with a mammoty
I identified first teacher ever remembering.
Now the light, my teacher…!
Pursuit smile ..national uniform in white,
How sweet he is…

We Won'T Give It Back

A freedom is an epic.
Indian’s freedom is a splendid superior spectacle.
The common idea of million minds
And the common battle for billion hearts.

More than trillion cones turned to craft few patriotic arts.
The voice of millions of hearts 
and the general target of billions of long darts,
Is to sizzle, stride and strike on British rule.

The Indian soldiers are much more than the most as massive 
To collapse the fire fences and even set to die hard as leopard and be impressive.
Freedom fighters and soldiers work pronounces worth and delights
And their prodigy proves they are stubborn from dooms day till twilight.

The freedom they gained for us is a conflicting combustion.
Freedom is a noble construction.
Freedom is a hearty creation
Freedom is a worthy cognition.

Mahatma's values on peace and Nehru’s principles
made India Globalized, Modernized and Civilised.
Freedom is what we all should be proud of and lend our hand for nations progress.

Enslaved By Darkened Feminine Race

Enslaved by dominance and shackles,

Submissively obedient in silence,

Femme fatales with their modernized slavery,

Man kneels and then bows,

Yielding to remain in servitude,

Controlled by the darkened dominant feminine race.


Peter the Great

Tsar
tall, thin
carpenter
builder of ships
modernized every aspect of Russia
Government, Army and a vast Navy
supremacy
maritime
conquered
ports
cruel
selfish
devious
killed would be heirs
including his only son Alexei
A giant steering his frigate to port
exuding strength
armor clad
steadfast

At 165 feet tall, "Peter The Great" is the seventh tallest sculpture in the world. Placed
in Moscow, near the bank of the Moskwa river.

Imagine Nigeria

IMAGINE  NIGERIA.
Imagine  Nigeria,
Becoming  a  sweet  fruit
Like  my  orange  juice,
Imagine  Nigeria
With  patriotic  youths
Who  speck  truth  and
Make  my  future  look
Good,
Imagine  Nigeria
That  education  carry’s  a
Concrete  foundation,
Becomes  a  national  tool
Towards  economic  civilization.
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  the  Elders   give  me
Shelter,
As  helicopters  isn’t  only
For  the  god  fathers,
Imagine  Nigeria
My  area  without  malaria
Where  the  health  system
Isn’t  a  trap  wearing  danger,
Imagine  Nigeria
During  the  good  and  bad,
We  all  stick  together.

II

Imagine  Nigeria
Where  majority  is  happy  to
Sing  her  slogan,
Infants  carry  my  flag  high
On  her  shoulders.
Imagine  Nigeria
That  my  export  moves  round
The  world,
Without  corruption  been  her
Escort.
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  terrorism  isn’t  the
MilitarY  salary,
And  unmask  every  stranger
Within  her  territory.
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  tension  isn’t  collected
Before  pension, instead
The  aged  gather  for  happy
Recreation. 
Imagine  Nigeria
That  electricity  lights  up
This  city
Its  connected  with  easy  and
Distributed  for  almost  free.

III
Imagine  Nigeria
Where  all  my  blames  are  not
Left  for  the  leaders,
Instead, first  caution  our  nuclear
Bread  winner.
Never  curse  Nigeria
All  I  depend  is  these  natural
Mineral,
I  can  never  reverse  the
Desperate  immigrant,
Looking  forward  to  construct  a
Beautiful  new  river  on  
Another  land.
Imagine  Nigeria
When  industries  employ  my
Indigence
And  never  appoint  by  your  community,
Refineries  doesn’t  pollute  the  high
Sea  and  kill my  cat  fishing.
Imagine  Nigeria
That  farming  is  encouraged
By  modernized  planning,
Imagine  Nigeria
The  prosperity  sister
Make  big  plans  from  your
Little  area.
My  governor  isn’t  a  magician.
Imagine  Nigeria
Beautified  with  Iroko
Sky  scrapers, and	
Ordained  the  genuine  giant
Of  AFRICA.
                                                                                                                                      HABIB  AKEWUSOLA.

Premium Member Perestroika, a Love Letter

Perestroika, a love letter


Glasnost beaten by the devil
prison camps revitalized
repression modernized
 	for the new world
	new wars the same young men die
Ukraine's children bleed red

Putin's delusions
unraveled Russian humanity

He could suffer no longer
he sang songs at the piano
in reminisce
languishing in time
that seemed to move backwards
solitude became intolerable

A marked man buried
never forgotten
in the wind a soft voice whispers
come my love
I await you

Love Raisa


Kigali, In I Am

Kigali! You’re a dream differed
          An indefinite dream for unkeyed
          You break too many hearts
          Heal too many souls abruptly
          Kill so many indeed loves
          Thus incite a life of pretense.
          You’re a money made lifestyle
          A suitable dilapidate religion
          A refuge to desperate buddies
          That many believe you’re a curb
          Yet you confuse fidelitous colleens
          And deceive whoever you want.
          But you’re a dam of opportunities. 

Kigali! You’re a home without taboos
          An essence of somewhat hopes
          Where people move each night
          Couples break back and forth
          Relationships built over sights basis
          Where everyone mind their own hassles
          Big players are the best prayers
          Where worship is a vital business
          Preaching, a sophisticated deal
          With a new mean of divination
          Yet it’s got a certain overnight
          And God is only sought by troubled!
          But you’re a land of many chances.

Kigali! You’re a Neverland we never plot
          Thus many of us don’t mind you
          But still can’t revert to birthplaces.
          You’re a confusing glittering promise
          Enormous attractants diverting youngsters
          Where speaking a mother tongue is illiterate
          A place that changed many of us names
          Where tramping is a tiresome sport
          Many starve and won’t ever surrender
          Such a place of modernity and technology
          That even modernized feelings and foods
          Bodies can be remade and looks created.
          And you’re a center of creativity.

Africa Arise

My fatherland oh Africa!
A robe of glory and glamour
spread on this terrestrial ball
with golden…green scenery
-a symbol of beauty and blessings

Africa! A mansion of might and memories
built on a dark rock…of mysteries
on which were engraved immortal images;
Thy rooms of strength and dignity
are pages of passion and pride

Africa! A giant on the global field of play
I saw thee in thy dark years
when thy strength was sapped by western parasites
and thy golden fluid sucked by white pests
- a slap on the face of fairness and freedom

But now oh Africa! Thou art fat and flourishing
and clothed with the robe of peace and unity;
Thy aroma of power, perceived by the super powers
Is once more tapped and used to rule thee once more
-neocolonialism modernized

Arise oh Africa! Thou art a king
thy princes have got brains and brawns
and thy princesses have got virtues and voices;
Arise out of thy sorrowful slumber
-let me know you this Africa, my fatherland.

The Story of Life

the story of life
life is not a sugar 
Cain stick 
it is not sweet like 
we want any more 
intelligent human 
has turned it upside 
down 
they are now in charge 
we gave them the chances
all what they need 
so we are tied up 
to their ropes of 
no justice

the story of life 
life is not a bread 
and honey Paradise
any more
it has been captivated
by evil human 
so the righteous
always have a 
cross to bear 
the reality of life 
now is full of lies 
the truth is not legal
any more in too many places
the fact of truth is always 
a closed factor 
it is hated nowadays 
so all we do is just follow 
in an era of manipulation

the story of life 
the reality of life 
nowadays is painted 
with struggles and suffering
that included everyone
we all suffer one way or the other 
no land is a perfect place now 
in a perfect world 
the programming of the mind 
never stop 
the mind control system is still
in charge of our freedom
the super powers still waving
the flags of wars 
the poor still in fears of their tommorow
what a life 
what a world 
a true life story 

the story of life 
life is a free zone 
I wonder how true 
is that now 
the rich still richer 
the poor remains more poorer
the games of civilization
is still the same 
the greedy are still greedy 
nothing has change 
the old evil ways still
never gone 
but only improve and modernized
to further improve 
the captive of the common man 
who innocently serve and 
believe in his land 
our life is nothing good
better than that of the old 
years gone 
we are still fighting
and that is a very sad story 
what a story 
the story of life

Justice

I go by Derz
and I'd appreciate 
a minute of your time
to educate you with my words
of wisdom
excuse the slurs
I was higher than the solar system
that night was a blur, i was a victim
to the party scene schism
my actions are just a symptom
of rebelling against this crooked 
economical system
they try to warn you
about the horned dude
looking through the eye
at the top of the prism
no one gets out alive
something like a prison
a medieval purgatory 
a modernized reformatory
it extremely worries me
how ethnocentric  
the people of the world can be 
they only see what they want to see
what their minds have been brainwashed to  sense and perceive
what the media
justifies them to believe
they're ignorant of their intent
no matter what they say 
this territory isn't free
there is no such thing as free will
excuse me if I'm coming off as crazy 
I forgot to take my pills
but if there was,such,
a thing
we wouldn't come together, as angry protesters
protesting,
against our cities protectors
who are unfit in properly 
protecting,this community
and we, the people 
have seen enough
if it wasn't for that badge
you wouldn't be so tough
don't forget that you're still one of us
and it is unlawful
as well as unjust 
to kill innocent lives
of people who were loved
but no one can grasp and understand 
what the fuss is 
we don't mind, being blinded 
just as long as we get our justice!

Regal In Me

Regal in me

As a puppet strung in a rope
I remained tying with my bloc
Ever since I opened eyes and 
Knew something with laugh
Regality soaked me as a morning loaf

As other I was said to follow with hard
To be gentle boy bearing 5 kilo load
Wept tightly aborting their alert
I remained failed in my regal

Sincere morality duties and obligations 
I cultured lot of bore as herbs in horticulture
Still I bore a lot of pain in my reign
Remembering how to overcome modern regal

Those heavy awful teachings of others 
Always perform to the effect of jet culture
Fly over the sky at tight right
Otherwise fall and sink in sea deep to die

Regal in me awakened more or less in life
Vertical horizontal diagonal fly
A kiss in the dream some time only freed me
I am the monarch in my blew regal

Classical test modernized facial 
Removed hairs from thighs and hide
Very critical to accept with fair darling
In reality I am failure to digest in my regal

Matter of cosmos and let fly thought their 
Sometime geared up high high in the bright sky
Ultimately downfall from there with great havoc to die
I never boarded in super jet fly

I invented a master plan for me to reign
Let standing myself  in the monarch dream
A treat of tasteful opportunity,
If I stood first in the competition to win.

I remember redden face of lass
If she happened to raise rim of frock calf high
These days in my realm I need to bear 
Two parallel mounds attract the eyes.

The Ole Mill Wheel

The Mill wheel wouldn't turn until the Spring.
When winter’s ice stops up the water’s flow,
as small town folk expect, the Mill shuts down.
The Mill shuts down, yet people mill around.
Some weekend nights we'd see the miller’s son
and his young cronies heading down that road. 
It happened quite often and we guessed why;
but knowing wouldn't throttle tittle-tat.

Whispers ran through the town from door to door
and farther still they traveled phone to phone.
From where we talked, such weekend visits spoke
of poker, gambling, maybe beer and girls.
Such gossip served to freeze up logic’s course.
Such gossip thawed the warmer days of March;
electric poles appear around the site. 
Ice melts, revealing secrets - wheel creaks.

The secret is… they’ve modernized the mill
surprising us all who had run our tongues.
Its mighty wheel will creak now all year round,
all year round, just like the gossip mill.

Bring Peace To Whole World

Bring Peace to Whole World

Introduction.

This is Jim Horn who loves writing poetry and posting it
on Poetry Soup. I also hate typing. It is now 0500 in the
morning and I am just starting to prepare my latest poem.
Just started my Hawaiian Blend cup of coffee and am
drinking it. Laptop is in my lap and notebook with my 
poems in it is on left side of me. I am reading what I
wrote down and posting it to Poetry Soup right now. 
I always write down my poems in my notebook first.
My fingers seem to naturally flow onto the peace of
paper. Typing it up on computer is one of my dislikeable
points and even despicable as a cartoon character said.
This poem to me is the best that I have ever written. It
explains exactly how I would like my poem treated and 
properly respected. I am the first to have broken Haiku
not Hiaku rules by rhyming some of the lines. To me,
this is a modernized version of haiku. Oh, and one other
thing. The website address should be at the bottom of each
poem so it can be located. Here is an example that was just
sent to me: www.poetrysoup.com/poem/quiet_of_the_night_696787
Lastly but not leastly, I feel that every poem should start off with an
introduction. Now on with the show and my poem. Jim Horn

Sun soon arose and later started to set
Then I would write one best ever and yet
That a poet has been written before
Will love everyone and thoroughly adore.

So great my poem always will be to me 
Deep as an ocean wide like some sea
And tall mountain majestic and mighty
To be taken seriously and not lightly.

When further and further into poem explore
You will always appreciate it more and more
And somewhat later much to my very surprise
Poem would win a Nobel and Pulitzer Prize.

Prize by my President to me was presented
And to read it before Congress I consented
Poem is attached to wall in an archive
Forever and ever there it will survive.

God who I praise and because of Him
My each poem is in a book all of them
So you can now read and start to sing
Peace to whole world thy all will bring.

Actions Speak Louder

ACTIONS   SPEAK   LOUDER


Love your wife? Then say so -  but  better to  do the dishes, 
Clean the kids room, stuff she really wishes.
Love your son?  Then spend a whole morning if you like 
Showing him how to fix his bike.
Actions speak louder than words.

See that  abused  kid ? Maybe that  once was you.
Ok  - smile and speak  to him,  do.
Pass an old hobo in street  let’s say?
Could’ve been you........maybe  might  be, one day.
He’s not always wanting money, just a hello, some respect.   

Do your best in your job, with your friends, with your wife.
Be honest with yourself and all else will follow in your life.  
Can you to your own self be true?  If you can, 
Then you cannot be false to any man.
It follows as night the day.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Written for John Freeman’s   “Give Me Your Best Shot New contest”

NOTE

The last three lines are a modernized paraphrase of 
Shakespeare's  famous lines in Hamlet

Season of Typical Year

Spring feels like seating on wagon clearheaded as judge 
A wagon jobber’s cart splashing water while passing a river
Temperate air blowing and whispering around 
A whim of holding my lover, haply defining life at a beach-
-took over me

Summer sounds like crazy god of fire, you can’t come near 
Feels hotter as Indian spicy-hot food
Always accompanied with Chinese summer soup
Desisting from heat and flames 
Flames of affection after sighting a lip glossed young tender modernized girl

Autumn feels like a newly wedded couple 
Beautiful as autumn foliage flowers
Like arm of palace, majestically falling from trees
Falling like petals on grand party 

Winter taste like luncheon meat
It reminds me the cheers and uproar on winter sport
Loud but uncharged 
Cold weather striking through, a warm cloudy like breath sparks out of nostril  
Holding on to my clothes like fungi 

seasons of typical year, flesh and tender in my mind 
everyday i pay attention to what next year will bring
