Best Offences Poems

I was once a thief, never done for Stealing guns,
or knives. Money, laundering offences, or Somebody’s wife. 
I robbed God of tithes that I must pay; I was alive but a dead man 
Walking, not at my fullest potential in anyway.

Oh yes! I had God’s...

I’ve an anger which cannot be hidden!
A burning passion that comes unbidden!
My Soul desolated with grievous rage,
reacts with furious justified outrage!

Occasioned by the offences of ignorance,
bigotry, discrimination and intolerance!
Though evil are the ravages of vandalism,
they pale to the magnitude of racialism!

Colour, creed, even the shape...

It is my prayer that you will know
Him, the One who lights
Souls, with fires so alive, stirring hearts
Comforting...

Bang those pots and pans, Rattle those noise makers as loud as you can,
For its New Year’s Eve my friends a chance to start fresh again, let’s start
That sacred count down just before the appointed mid-night hour,
Release the confetti, exploded those multicolored balloons, 
After all...

What kids are watching on telly
are crimes and crimes in all variety! 

Crimes of hate 
crimes of passion
acting it out at shocking rate
thinking in some wild fashion
then ending up cell mates! 

When kids watch...

Spawned from the loins that 
Perpetuated the loyal serfs mongrel
Seed:-
These peoples of a conditioned and
"Resigned-To-it-all" breed.
Born into the enveloping tedium
Of interlocking days...Interwoven
With interlocking days -
Victims of stark circumstance
And vague promises unmade.
Gregariously living out their lives
When warmly embraced by
Every self-serving boast brazenly
Conveyed...
To be exploited, and thus,
Insidiously...

I am here 
In a different time and place
In which tears of joy of one
Unfolds the tears of discrimination of another
Such a cruel and beautiful place 
This world can be
Such happiness and melancholy 
It can cause 
To trade the laughter of a hundreds 
With the...

Thoughts how they fade into nothingness of regret. I am lost once again. The pain of yesterday has not forgiven my offences and I am not worthy of a life anymore. “Please pardon me Lord for what I am about to do…”

I’ve traded happiness for...

If you shine a shoe you get a tip,
If you brush it well,
You get even a bigger tip,
If you denounce yourself,
And renounce your roots,
You get a reward...you get a nip,
Of the welfare and the system that keep,
Watching you and your progress in deep,
That you may...

Rode them roller coaster
Spun them on wheel later
Got lush cut on fines for police squeal!*

Down he sojourned
On life's journey
Encounters upon encounters
Mistakes he made
Even offences...
To the people he met
"Apologize" ...he was told by some....
This he did
To erase his misdeeds
"Am I forgiven", he wondered
For others could not yield
To the gesture, so human
"Go get some counselling"
They advised...
Insinuating insanity
To such he said
"Apologize as...

Dusty clouds are isolation 
Confusion obstructs my view
As I travel back roads in lonesome 
Searching for the missing clues

Long ago we became separations
Worlds away by barbed-wire offences
I need to be back within your presence
To the much greener grass of our past oasis 

Although, with every...

With other roles assigned for fictitious group who met in a pub.

It was natural that each player used their own experiences

So the word is out
In most of the Pacific places
Captain Cook sailed to on his voyages 
Local laws and customs were broken
And he was lucky to not be killed
For these offences by the local people

But he was a great navigator who knew 
Where he was...
