Best No Argument Poems


Dark Skinned Vs Light Skinned

In our Asian-cum-Eastern land
No one prefers or admires
the dark-skinned or tanned

Gosh, as if the fair-skinned alone
belonged to the so-called fairer sex
And here, 'black is beauty' a phrase unheard
All falling for the light skinned almost in reflex! 

Bachelors on the hunt for a non-fictional Asian 'Snow-white'
Even an ugly heart will do if the skin is white, pale and light

For them lighter skin tis brighter and better at beauty
even if superficial and skin-deep
The dark-skinned maidens thereby left single to weep

But while the ebony dark- pigmented
go on applying whitening and lightening creams
The white Westerners frequented
the sunlit beaches for dark tans from sun beams! 

So in westerners females wish to look browned and tanned
Thus the opposite is preferred
so to that end they may sun bathe for hours on beach sand

Ah and though from the point of view of my motherland 
I am luckier that God chose
to model me from a peachy whiter lighter clay, 
I still feel this tug-of-war between complexions
needn't really join the fray.

For when you and I glance at Naomi Campbell
we know beauty can be white, brown and black as well
Like love, beauty knows no colour, creed or race
As  proved by this gorgeous black supermodel.
Besides, we all have come across
both dark-skinned angelic saints
and fair-skinned folks with sinner's taints

Ah, Black Beauty, or Fair and lovely
Beauty has never known any bounds
For God He distributed beauty rather equally
No argument can last on these grounds

Oh, a soulmate's inner beauty ought to be earnestly sought
Too bad lustful passions fall for those merely outwardly hot!

Saturn - God's Favorite

SATURN    -   GOD’S    FAVORITE


This  floating sovereign rules her black see *
Like an Inquisition bishop  -  perfect : accepts no plea 
No argument no competition,
Watching me watching her in adoration, 
Her cold unblinking eye
Reigning the black and silent sky.


Saturn, Goddess of bountiful harvests, of you alone
Unreachable, O favorite of the Lord, in brilliant isolation,
Of beauty pristine and colder than ice,
Is it said * that God doesn’t play dice,
But His spinning gyroscope globe He enjoys :
God’s spinning top  -  the best of toys.


O bisque queen, gem with halo rings,
Like a dove with wide-spread wings,
Hover like the Holy Spirit, float on the inky blackness,
Send me a message to fill my darkness.
Long in the ether your far-light lingers on high 
Before it is allowed to reach my eye;
O Majesty remote cold and beautiful,
Send me the vision of heavenly beauty bountiful.

Notes

Beauty turns me on.
Anyone who has seen the planet Saturn even in a small
telescope cannot fail to be awed by the beauty of the planet.

*   A   "see"  is the territory ruled by a bishop

*   The saying  “God does not play dice”  is accredited to Albert Einstein,
when explaining the workings of the universe.

Premium Member My Purpose

My purpose in life... to live it
and breathe each breath as my last
to hold no argument for the sake of holding
give understanding to those who need it
to be open to all thoughts...no matter how different

to keep as much beauty in the world as I can
to explore all realms of possibilities
and see the souls of others as they are
to not be blinded by the colored coat of deception

to be a truth-teller in a world of liars
who have no sense of honor or character of the spirit
and dwell in the garbage flowing down rivers of fear
spending years collecting from life...not experiencing life
to know the difference between the two

     Yes...I have one purpose...
to live life without hesitation or fear
to procreate and pass purpose along
so nothing is missed in each singular journey
where the blood of my blood understands
life is to be lived...not bartered
to find purpose is a cause, unto itself
and cannot be asleep...
to think dreams and wishes are enough
to know that purpose is a strange thing
that evolves or dies as the world changes

      would that I find a purpose
from the bravery of the oppressed...who never cry
      would that I find a purpose
beyond my ability to correct injustice
would that I live...for I have only one life
to live without chosen conflicts of men
cluttering my thoughts for no purpose
other than self-gratification
then claim my intentions were noble

      what is my purpose...you ask
                   to be...
nothing more or less than the perception of my days
as my eyes see them
to rest with the weary in deep realms of shade
and shine a light on the darkness of the lost
sharing with them the knowledge obtained
from a life lived
my purpose is to say with my last breath
I lived life... embraced its struggles
      and have done so without lament

Premium Member I Am a Rag Doll

I am a rag doll
Pliable, and gullible.
I believe you 
So tell me your truth and your lies.
I will not discriminate

Move me into places you want me to go.
I am flexible, and there will be no argument
I will listen to your tales, and believe wholeheartedly.
There will be no laughter.
I will attempt a smile.
It may not happen

You see someone else broke me.
They pulled off a leg, 
and they punctured my eyes.
I cannot see now, but I can feel.
I will lie with you quietly,
and if you could but
rub my back
I would believe
you loved me
and that
would
be
enough

Premium Member The Letter of Resignation

Your note said, "I resign from being your wife."
"I want a divorce and a new life."
I never expected this letter of resignation.
There will be no argument or arbitration.

Thanks for sparing me the drama with your resignation letter.
You may find you can't do any better.
A notice to terminate the marriage is not required.
Effectively immediately you are fired!

Who Is Logical

(Colino)
so you say you have no memory 
of the last day you were friends with me 
no link to help remembering 
your brain can't give you anything 

conclusion, you are clueless 
your memory is useless 
and you can't give your own story 
nor pick out bits most surely 

so you can offer nothing 
your brain don't bring a thing 
unaware or emptied 
or with a truth which you're hiding 

yet when I talk of incidents 
the memories I'm recalling 
you claim they never happened 
and from my delusion they are spawning 

you have no argument or alternative 
just denial and diversion 
questioning my sanity 
YET YOU HAVEN'T YOUR OWN VERSION 

But this is my one story,
never one before it, 
a mystery for 14 years 
when I was never talking 

and in that time you stayed confused 
as do all with me removed 
you paint the scene I WAS SENSELESS 
no logic to include

it passed the cause away from you 
handing out bits others chew 
you need them to think as you do 
to be believed as now I'm refused 

I tell them you manipulate 
but I just get ignored 
and even though they read this mate 
it won't impact their thoughts 

(Colino, Dom, Kev)
you 3 have no story 
just denial and diversion 
and people just ignore me 
judgement through perversion 

logically you're logicless 
but all think that that is me 
ignorance is really bliss 
as is stupidity 

people near or close to you 
are stood to close to see  
whilst everyone around the world 
see differently with ease 

you have no memory or logic 
and claim delusion is with me 
to those not involved it's obvious 
you're just gaslighting me 

*for Colino, Dom, Kev, and all the people believing them blindly judging me, 
a person to whom you never speak yet judge assuredly.
they gaslight and manipulate, getting you as they got me 
don't tell me my logic's gone, where is theirs, it's them you all believe 
and Susan isn't validation, she knows as much as you, 
like you she seeks from them, and like you don't come to me. 

How rude to call me a lying delude 
it's my life, and you weren't there 
reality for me but just a tale to you 

no response needed

you judge me without me involved 
I've no influence on what resolves
from now on I AM NOT INVOLVED 
with contamination they evolve

Premium Member If You Pull a Long Face - Part Xxvi

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XXVI

IF you pull that long-besieged face
Back and forth to Brussels in Brexit bob-sleigh
Deal or No-Deal backstop Customs excise nor phase 
EU patience and make jingle-bells rein deer neigh

If you pull that plucky long face
You risk boxing the Left's adamant Brexit-Deal ear
" EYES " to the Right " NOSE " to the Left " have it " put Westminster grace out-of-place
No argument on amendments " PROSIT " with Franco-German beer

Then if you pull that long disfigured face
The Celts will with Scots not in English parley
To invite reigning Norman to fly in the face into Brexit space
Not mind you on skis past Omaha Beach and Isle Guernsey

Yet if you continue to pull that long-merited face
Even Roman legions will over-run the Charlemagne Gaul face rightaway
To watch Nero blitz-krieg London while May souffle sur les braises
Won't even a Nobel Peace Prize entice a ditch-Brexit May

If you must then pull a long-stymied face
Carve Britain out  add a STAR to the Star-Spangled pot-pourrée
Let the Scots the Irish and the Welsh in gaelic discourse
While gentlemanly Six Nations Cup supplant Super Bowl rough play

Distance

Distance between families
Distance between friends

The time apart hurts, not matter how much we pretend.

If you miss somebody
you should let them know

Hold and squeeze them tight, and never let them go

no argument or fight
is worth losing touch

they are our families and friends, and we love them so much

drifting apart, can make you feel really alone

so do yourself a favour, and pick up the phone!!

My Hidden Fear

People are my weakness and hidden fear
I just feel that some words they say set me in tear
For example I gave a person a smile one day and they gave me a glare
I did not know that smiling in the world today cause people to stare
These types of stare gave me chills down my spine a feeling that made me blind
Why? why is my weakness the people who are very unkind
Hiding is all I can do when people give me a unkind view
I get to a point that my fear seems to wonder and stew
People are who they are and what should I even do
I don't understand that they are evil and some times nice too
My hidden fear are people just because they are always around
That is no argument and my feeling are perfectly sound
The hate builds up in my mind, but does not bother, how my heart feel
I learned to undergo a change that my feelings become like steel
Hard as it should be in situations needed I forget how to use it
So it becomes my weapon and it is to some people heartless just a bit
My hidden fear is what I see in people today
They harm others and they think it is okay
That is why I fear my feelings for others at times because it is so confusing
My hidden fear is some what bad and some what a blessing

Premium Member two women on a seesaw

two women on a seesaw laughing their happy heads off
Like male praying mantises, except they did not scoff
wearing dresses and high heels which was absurd
Their husbands Phil and Lee walked by, without saying a word

Pretending they do not know their wives imbibe during the day
Something hard to not realize if you are looking their way
They were arguing now about whose seesaw was the best.
They were both on the same one, so it was no real test.

Let’s go to a ballgame, suggested Phil to his friend Lee.
They had no argument from their Gladys or Sammy.
Arguing now about whether the seesaw was blue or red.
Let’s stop by and pick up my favorite cousin, Fred.

Premium Member Spring

Unleash your slumbered passions
For all the world to see.
Embrace Spring in all its glory
To let the dregs of winter be.
Move with purpose and intention...
Making bold of what's to come.
Lay some groundwork for achievement...
Hear the call of feral drums.
Spring demands of us a reckoning
As winter's cruelty fades away...
Giving germ and seed to possibility...
We are bound for better days.
Who among us hasn't welcomed
The flowers as they bloom?
Who among us doesn't sanctify
The end of winter's gloom?
There is no argument one can offer...
So let the vernal warmth in hearts dwell
As it would be a cruel trick on Nature
To not make something of ourselves.

               The End

I Am of Oau

Yes I am of the almighty Obafemi Awolowo University 
The alpha and omega of all other institutions
No argument about that fact!

I am of the almighty Obafemi Awolowo University 
Nobility runs in my blood 
And legitimate pride in my veins
I am made up of high level of intellectual sagacity 
And an uncommon high level of moral standard 
After all, we are for learning and culture 

I am of the almighty Obafemi Awolowo University
To survive in every part of the world I have been trained. How?
I started off my life in the great community at the bedrock of OAU Militancy 
Continued my journey in the castle of great men
I have the Awo blood flowing in me
And you are still wondering why and how it is possible for me to survive under any condition?

I am of the Almighty Obafemi Awolowo University 
The hub of political consciousness and academic exploits
The ideal community ought to be modeled by every community of the world
A peaceful community where we all learn to love and respect each other irrespective of background

All hail my great citadel of learning 
All hail the Almighty Obafemi Awolowo University
Relentlessly pursuing educational and cultural excellence.

Note: Once a GREAT IFE is always a GREAT IFE!

The Politics of War

To ask a flower to kill a bee 
is to ask a man to become the beast. 
That is the will of war 

The skylark rages it’s voice above the battlefield 
For destiny lies below. 
No argument with this world , 
but a foreign invader has entered his field. 
The song of life is threatened. 

The immigrant guns have freedom of movement, 
they scream a betrayal of life. 
The seeds of the poppy are in turmoil, 
the sound of the shells 
replaces the tractors of life. 
And in this chaos the poppy symbol is born, 
in a reluctant will of sacrifice. 

Innocence of poppy will dull man’s pain, 
but nothing is real. 
War belongs to foreign shores 
for English tea must not be disturbed. 

 And history will prostitute these red petals 
in the hope that we will remember them. 
Remember a moment in time, 
 a dream that flows in atoms unseen. 
This speck of man within the cosmos. 
A vote of no confidence in God, 
for eternity is a lonely place. 

Mortals and ghosts remember them. 
Remember the soldier who sang down this road of despair, 
who marched on a foreign soil. 
Made proud under the willow by glorious woman 
and prayed for by siblings to come. 
Made ripe by a glorious English summer. 

Victory is a tinsel thing. 
War salivates for the fools and the brave. 
The devil is on the move 
groaning in his ****** of pain, 
that spills this cup to quench the end. 

And the streets of home will be swept clean 
By the invalid that saw them die 
Yesterday’s confetti, this mush that blows in the wind 
 gathered by a broken man, 
 smoking his last park drive. 

And when the misty morn greets the milkman. 
Fear of nations will give a copper pension, 
a loaf of bread for a young man’s life 
 and a bugle to let the devil know, 
“these souls are out of bounds“.

No Argument There

No Argument There

Once in a while talk to myself
telling myself that I should care,
with whatever I have to do
and with no argument there.

I question myself which way to go
I'm thinking if I doing it right,
wondering about hope and life,
about all the dreams at night.

I talk to myself about different things
that sometimes it makes my ears ring,
my inner voice may tell me if I'm wrong
but listen to myself shall keep me strong.

At times I am reminding myself
to lift my eyes and look above,
never to forget where I came from 
and for all His blessings and love.
