Best Nominate Poems


Twelve Rounds (With) Natethegreat

I challenged you, and you finally took the bait.
This was a battle that I had to instigate.
But, you only came when I gave you a mandate,
So now I will be happy to accommodate.
Now Burger King Mandelay is on my hotplate!
"YOUR" SELF-MADE throne...I will proceed to desecrate.
But, I would love to know what made your head inflate,
Because each one of your slams sounded so innate;
Not worth the effort that it takes to conjugate.
You would be better off trying to slam KUWAIT!
I am a master poet. You can not relate.
When I started this race, I left you at the gate.
The second best slam is what we must nominate,
And the other spots are what we must allocate.
I apologize for writing rhymes that frustrate.
Stop whining! Step up! And try to eliminate!
SHUT UP! So that you do not self-incriminate.
Males should not be JEALOUS; That is a FEMALE trait!
Baby boy...You need to go back and incubate.
Climb into the ground, so that you can germinate.
Then, much later, I will come back and cultivate.
When pest step to the best, I have to fumigate!
The day you beat me is the day hell frigerates!
Just give the jury a chance to deliberate!

Premium Member The Evoultion of Learning (Part Two)

As long as various people run various nations
There will forever be war
What the world needs is one leader
A common man who believes in the working class
As well as the Lord
Instead of one Nation under God
Lets make it one World under God
And just let each individual decide what he or she wishes to call that God
So I here by nominate our dear friend Vince Suzadail Jr.
The first candidate of the new world order 
He seems to have the best Political views I’ve heard
And I think he alone could do a much better job
Than all the leaders of all the nations are doing
At least I’m certain he couldn’t do any worse
And that way all the super intelligent people devising ways 
Of destroying our world
Could find something more constructive to spend their time on
Like raising a crop or milking a cow
Saving a child or helping elderly with their needs 
There are plenty of folk who need a hand
Lets all start offering them ours instead of cutting theirs off
I’m just a simple man
My actual world is very small
My family, friends and neighbors
I love you all and hope you know I’ll do anything for you I can
There is no malevolence left in me
I know how to make and use a shank, zip gun or small explosive
But I’ve learned not to
For I’ve learned to think with my heart and soul
They do a much better job than my mind
I just wish the great minds of the world
Were smart enough 
To figure out what I have
And learn to love with all of their hearts

Non-Duality

With respect to digestion, we talk of two fates
The absorptive and post absorptive states.

Think of a meal as earning a wage.
You may use a bit but you’ll save some, if sage.
And the ratio is something you always must gauge.
It can certainly change as one does age.

Up to four hours after a meal
Before your insides are resting from their zeal
Insulin is governing lots of the chemistry
In your body’s energy registry.
It promotes glycogenesis, glycogen production
The storage of glucose, a major reduction.
Lipogenesis will also take place
After a meal at an increased pace.
And of course, protein synthesis also increases
As your body builds up new pieces.

But after four hours, post absorptive will dominate
And glucagon is the hormone that it will nominate.
It will cause the breakdown of things that were built
So that sources are available when you need them to the hilt.
It promotes glycogenolysis, the reverse of the above
Because now your blood glucose might need a shove.
Lipolysis, too, is also promoted
Proteolysis as well, just as devoted.

While insulin and glucagon both promote their actions
They also inhibit the other’s reactions.

Premium Member Virtuoso

How many awards has God received?
     Is his name embedded
 on a star on Hollywood Boulevard
  or the Guinness Book of Records
  for his most divine creations???

    How about a Pulitzer Prize
for his spoken words etched in stone
surely for Jesus and The Last Supper!!!

Can God get a Blue Ribbon Award 
 for all the Angels in heaven
   and a Medal of Honor
 for fighting all our battles

I don't know any inventor that
  creates better than God
any man that fights harder than God
or any person that loves more  than God

I nominate thy Heavenly Father
   Virtuoso of Creationism 
    For all things created
     God is the Expert!!!

A Symbol of Unity

(Dedicated to Pope John Paul 11)

Is Religion a symbol of unity?
Dedication for the welfare of mankind
A spirit of understanding
A respect for existence
An honour for leading the path
For awakening the human beings
A challenge for impurity
To protect equal opportunity
The explanation of Nature
And its system 
And a power who runs it
Nobody can touch it
Nobody can see it
Nobody can hear it
But that can realise only
A passion of pain and Love
A spirit for dedication
To face the problems
To find out the solutions
To maintain a standard for living
To protect the ancestor’s progress
For liberty, integrity and fraternity
Religious spirit never cares for boundaries
Never cares for ruling dignity
A fight against misusing
The power of freedom
A barrier to stop cruelity
A barrier to control feelings
A barrier to nominate the respect for relations
A barrier to protect natural beauty
An encouragement to develop individuality
A technique for learning
A chapter of self reliance
A movement of skills 
A path of failureness and achievements
A goal of patience
Maturity of determination
Wisdom of deeds
Perpetuation of truth
Shameless and shameful divisions
Sense of goodness and dirt
Faith in existence
Action of belief
Motion for aims
A smell of enjoyment
Efforts to protect future.

Premium Member St Bridgets Hospice Isle of Man

If I could nominate a charity St Bridget’s would be my choice
They care for the sick and the dying, their service is like a Rolls Royce
Nothing is too much trouble for the patients in their care
The nurses they are angels and they are always there

Over the years we have lost many a special friend
St Bridget’s is there for them to the bitter end
Some go in just for respite care, to give their loved ones a break
Other’s go in when they are dying and for the lord to take

They rely on donations from the public just like you and me
The cost of care is covered, so for the patients it is free
I’ve visited the hospice many times to see friends who are in there
The devotion of the staff is awesome they provide outstanding care

They need to raise about £3.5 million every year
This is a task they do annually and always with great cheer
With fundraising events held for everyone
They do not rest till the task is done

So if I am picked I am sure you’ll agree
St Bridget’s hospice deserves the vote from me
We never know when we may need to use the service they provide
But we are so lucky to have them; it fills me with great pride


This was written for an on-line competition - i didn't win the £200 for the charity but I wanted to share it

Premium Member Shame On Us

Shame on Us
By Franklin Price
7/9/2016

Shame on us for prejudice
I know we're not alone
If you're one who does not have it
I welcome you to cast the stone

For you will be the first one
Since the one upon the cross
If it's true I'll nominate you
As of now to be the boss

For prejudice is damning
It's good for none at all
Those who practice knowingly
Cast an unattractive pall

Evaluate on merit
Not the color of the skin
To alleviate the pejudice
So it should never win

Heritage, religion, 
Politics and so much more
Are always there for prejudice
They open up that ugly door

I know we cannot end it
That's not how we humans roll
Work hard to minimize it
Before it takes a further toll

Premium Member The Teacher

I would like to nominate
my teacher 
He has followed my life 
since before I was born
He watches over me everyday
and listens to my every concern
I can call Him anytime
He  is  never to busy
to help anyone 
since the Alpha and Omega
There is no problem
that He doesn’t know
and if you ask He shall show
He comes by to visit all
knocking on their doors
so eager to teach
He lived and example
A live demonstration
on how to achieve the award
not to look back but move forward
not to live in greed
and to focus on the things we need
not to blend in with the weeds
but to give sunlight to the seeds
He taught me what really matters in life
while relieving pain and strife
He wrote the greatest book 
The words will always remain
while others will come and go like rain

Premium Member Selecting Mature Leaders

When I am searching for a healthy leader,
a wise teacher,
a mature mentor,
I look for someone who knows from experience
when a family member dies
a cherished part of her or himself
also is lifetime lost.

I look more for someone
who at least might feel,
even for a short moment,
that s/he would prefer
it had been her or himself.

Why does this matter?
Because without this maturity of extended family identity,
security,
love,
adolescent and even childish issues evoke ego-mania
rather than wiser and slower and steadier eco-passion
with other human natures
as with other EarthTribe cellular health natures.

Cells whose purpose becomes reduced to self-thrival
grow leaders of cancerous pathology.
Cells whose purpose remains to reproduce
their full contribution to organic families,
their extended forests of life,
their ecological eco-root systems,
are those mentors
my healthy wealth most needs
and craves
and would gladly step-aside from my personal agenda
to listen to
and learn
what remains of our synergetic purpose,
regenerative meaning.
  
I would be more drawn to a parent
who would say
My son broke the law
because I asked him to,
and he trusted me to not ask him to do
or not do
anything that would become a problem for him.

I would steer away from someone
who would say
My son did it on his own qualitative initiative
and never said a word to me about it,
but I respect him anyway.

And,
by the way,
those corporations that fell apart
while I was CEO,
well they did that all on their own
right after I drew my final paycheck
and quarterly return on my short-term investment.

I would not nominate such a person
for public office,
or even any private office,
for s/he does not know the wisdom of a healthy cell,
s/he has not felt the crippling loss of a wise mentor,
and is thereby her/himself exposed to monoculturing cannibalistic tendencies
of self and other exploitation,
eating our young;
not strong CEO maturity
because not a strong mentor of future compassionate CEOs.

Henry Iv: Prerogative and Piety

Enterprising Henry IV declares suzerainty over state
Xenophobic princes seek the royal prerogative to abate
Cautious king uses diplomacy, threats his minions to subjugate
Old rivals in Saxony Henry's consolidation with tyranny equate
Morose princes in the hinterland seek to avoid a similar fate
Manic King Henry sends his forces the opposition to eradicate
Unifying his kingdom, Henry dispatches puppets, builds forts his 
subjects to ingratiate
Nouveau Pope, Gregory VII, seeks his spiritual fiefdom to 
accentuate
Invoking ban on German King's power to bishops nominate
Calculating King refuses to cooperate with this diabolical dictate
Arrogant Pope responds to Henry's disobedience with a writ to 
excommunicate
Terrified, Henry performs penance to wipe clean the slate
Ecclesiastical mantra restored; Pope Gregory VII absolves the 
humbled magnate 
Demeaned but not demised, Henry continued to temporal, spiritual 
power appropriate

Conservative Friend

Another older post....

I'd nominate you for president,
If there was any way I could-
But I'm afraid that the way you speak your mind,
Might be misunderstood-

You're gutsy and opinionated,
You're blustery and you're loud-
You're patriotic and principled,
You're articulate and you're proud-

The words you speak are right on point,
They'd appeal to many a crowd-
But you damn well, politicians would say,
"Those expressions are not allowed-"

Now, I hope this move enables you,
To say what you want with ease-
And never have to worry 'bout,
Those ones you might not please-

Oh, California, it's hard to let go,
Of a man who thinks like he-
But Idaho is a much safer state,
For a conservative man to be!

Premium Member Change, a Catalyst For a Better World

We should never mince words,
when speaking of politicians;
but instead, call them what they are…
completely delusional.

We listen to their speeches; 
which are nothing more than, 
fictional stories.
Every election day, millions rush to the polls,
to vote for the wooden head, that they think will… 
actually work, for the people;
none ever do.

Every single time,
they work, only for themselves.
The people are consistently…
bamboozled by those,
ego maniacal, Ponzi princes in silk suits.
Democrat-schmemocrat; Republican-mumblycan;
they’re both the same…
they are their own, piggy banks
and they collect…way too much, from the poor;
including lives.

One would think that the next election,
would wake everyone up;
instead, people go back to the polls 
and vote for the opposite party’s, wooden head.
They back and forth, flip-flop; 
no one seems to understand,
that electing someone of a completely different party;
might have the potential to get something done.

People live under the delusion,
that they need to elect someone,
with business experience.
While countries have businesses;
they are not businesses, in and of themselves;
they are people.
People are not businesses that you can manipulate.
The farmer has experience, as does the soldier,
the banker, the baker, the lawyer and the teacher.

Every individual striving for a good life;
has some sort of experience;
ideas, plans and innovations to offer.
Those who run a country; 
must have the foresight,
to see the people and their needs, first.
Seasoned politicians apparently, 
see their own bank accounts and fame;
they revel in delusions of grandeur.

Elusive seems the idea,
that the people could form their own parties 
and nominate, real human beings.
When the next election rolls around.
ignore the schmem’s and mumblies 
and replace them with ordinary people.
Those that you know; in the know;
could be a refreshing change,
for the future.

Hashtag Schoolyard Politics

In the recesses of my mind,                                        hashtag in the great playground of words               
it pounds the imagination like a bully                 How a tic-tac-toe sign                                 
becomes the word of the year                                
is this just some blip in a crackerjack box               or will more non-words become words           
Hashtag sounds like some corny                  
confusing childhood game like pinning                    a note on someone’s back                                     or an oatmeal food fight in the lunch room    
Hashtag medley melee                                  maybe I am just stewing around immaturely hashtag juvenile data mining                              but I nominate guillemets, for this years word,                             which sounds more angelic                                              but all this is more or less trivial quote unquote       it is just a tweet geek hashtag tweek
