Best Moderns Poems

Absolute truth, both mystery… and paradox. 
“You make me wonder if you exist or not?”

The Greeks glimpsed you in circles and squares,
The medievals revered you in scriptures and prayers,
The moderns doubted you in so many facts and proofs.

Absolute truth

“Nothingness” 

Words 
lines drawn 
unending

dusk 
to
dawn

characters recognised
transcribed
in the mind 

where voices unheard
plant meaning
wild ivy grows 

and snakelike
moves 
outside the lines

electric 
we become strange
symphonies sublime;

engraved in time
most rocks crumble
dissolve, 

life has no need
for unnecessary 
rhyme

beginning of a sentence
chases the end
catches up, blends in 

swallowing life’s tale
circular...

The moderns say iambic verse is dead-
to be cool you must write freestyle instead.
Iambic pentameter in rhyming verse
is targeted now as the very worst.
Even the Bard could not write this today-
and not have some trash him to his dismay-
though all formal poems and rhythmic feet

Hungered fuel I'm in trust
When sensed thralls me
It's, it's driven urge to I
Rocket fuelling me

It's high or low approach
Exciting this in me
I'm in catapult to never
Dying in moderns tree

That was the worthiest step and decision
our pressing  to US for its airbase in Manas  expelling
from our land. The politic so vexed
so self-destructive  and  depressive
from various points and consequences.

When all our ancestors
from beginning of times, edem and hell
dreamed unlock our region

Mankind, 
Years back , 
People who built
Where there were more trees,  
They were called all bad names
Find in dictionaries 
But nowadays
Many cities turning into forest shapes 
To be well - known beautiful and moderns.

It's good to be modern, don't you think? 
Bowling alley, skating rink. 
If we moderns want a swim, 
we drive our cars down to the gym. 

We've mastered plastics, studied steel, 
no fears about tomorrow's meal: 
our meat is packed, our fruit is tinned, 
our...

Tried to clear my throat, though you
didn't look at me; may be you
assumed it is infection;
aimed to get your attention.

The problem I have with religions is that they forget themselves. All of the great religions start out from a MYSTERY. Something or someone happens that is unique, remarkable, almost incomprehensible in terms of everyday life. A man of status learns he is actually one...

When Death was free to roam the world,
unconstrained by science and medicine,
when doctors were mostly showmen,
and priests held the final word, then...
then people believed in God and in
heaven's bliss and hell's torments.

We moderns think that quaint now,
as we look back, we so much wiser,
battling microbe...

...Yet there is another reason that some
desire to diminish what is true,
those who hate truth because they are afraid
that it might limit what they can go do.

Whether it be a Hollywood pedo,
or that gangbanger out walking the street,
or the Epsteins with their private islands,
decadent scum...
