Best Pointing Poems

POINTING TO THE PROBLEMS 
  {Bivouacs}

Beat down with legal fees
Tied up with taxes;
Tripped up with mortgages;
Ripped off with student loans
Insulted with insurance
Telephone updates.

Out of date opts,
New upgrade rates;
Food on the down-low
Carrots in the closet;
Conjugating with fake rice.

Plastic cabbage, inedible corn.
Tomatoes with fish dung
Water with...

Never speak ill of others,
No matter what they do,
For I can guarantee my friend,
It'll come right back to you.

Don't repeat the things you hear,
If it could hurt another.
Things like that have ruined lives,
Set brother against brother.

The things you do, the things you say,
Always come back...

Sitting by the window of a moving train..
Feeling alone
She ponders..
As to why it must be..

Pointing fingers..
How can one know another..
He explodes in a massive fury..
Insinuating negativity..
Demands..
Insults..
Behaving as the judge and jury..
Judgmental accusations..
Harsh poisonous words..

Pointing fingers..
She had become an open wound..
Hurting immensely..

She had become a target..
A...

Pointing back

From where I sit,
this crowded street of frowning faces and lying eyes
meander past the mom and pop facades with kids in tow…
tethered by their wants
and constant whining

now glaring at me as if,  
I am the problem

I wave them off in my best oceanic...

You are one of the reasons
Why they inflate their quote
If you had seized the seasons
Good men could have had your vote


You are one of the reasons
Why our sweet land has gone sour in waste
Here is one of your multiple treasons
You aid corruption just to suit...

Blame game players sigh and lamely cry,
“Not my fault” each time plans go awry.

It is true
That my unbalanced 'ying-yang'
exposed me to evil.

That I embraced darkness
instead of the awaiting light

That I chose the garment of stains
instead of the plain, spotless apparel.

And none of these
is done in error, but deliberately
and with adequate awareness.

But
I held on to a rock
before completely falling...

Let me show you the perimeter first Diamond with cool edges like water
Upon the shroudless sunshine of thirst That is the constellation he was after
Four well clad figures on the perimeter And a single soul back in the middle
Women all tha their provisions straddle Big...

What would you expect to accomplish here?
In this house these people are incapable of feeling.
Indulging in eternity inside their frozen frameworks.
They began to grow suspicious as our mouths burn like acid with 
Every word we wish we could utter.
If the tape were gone, who would...

 total fiction

I heard the words repeated on the news
so sick of them that my mind rebelled...
"Doge's plan and Trump commands
the Constitution should be banned.
Hell to that Chief!  There's no relief
Breaking news only heightened the blues.
I don't want to hear anymore.

By seven P.M. I...

Every where I look out,

Trees-

Branches pointing V,

Reminding me to win!...

When you point a finger
There's three that's pointing back.
I was taught as a nipper,and I have learnt just that
To stand and judge another, you must be squeaky clean
And even then,who put you on a pedastool to be my king or Queen.
As to err is human,but...

Finger, like so many, aims at me
and then at something else.
Finger is a small yet significant creature.
Finger's addressing me by pointing,
pointing to me, saying,
saying without speaking.

Finger sports a nail that may hold the significance
of that creature, that digit: brown-ended with soil
or brightened with soap on...

I don't point
I don't cast blame
With a log in my eye
As brothers are the same
A hypocrite I'd be giving flak
Care to let your judgement linger
As three of your fingers will point back
See now you know when you point a finger...
