Best Preference Poems

My Mother was a woman, my Father was a man
it didn't take a court to rule, for it was in Gods plan
Nothing's ever perfect, mistakes are sometimes made
that doesn't mean you change the world, try pulling down the shade

Not easy to identify, don't know it...

Think about it, something they overlooked?
It works both ways, It's bound to Happen


You say, "just treat you equally" but you want separate laws
like "locker/bathroom privileges", to which there are some flaws
The ninety plus percentage, still say majority rules
Supreme Court alters common sense, which means they...

With the apple or the orange
Single, divided....

Please don’t rock the boat as you have before.
It is an awfully long swim to shore.
Our boat has gone out with the last tide.
I would like to get safely to the other side.
The wind has caught our sails as we are moving along.
If we stay...

Like an eagle that preys

Upon a catfish pond

I have an intelligence

Not to hunt in the wilderness

I'd rather exploit the simple

Minded domestication

of people's ignorance.  

So materialistic

I can sell you diamonds

When you know children

have died for it.

Sell you shoes 

When all it is, is plastic. 

Use your plastic 

When you've...

While we were young we believed
Every falsehood
Accepted every idea
Hissed for joy at the sounds 
Of the very words we learnt from our friends.

We took to pubs, followed theirs footfalls
To the beach, sat at lurid ease in front of them
Sometimes we went to the complete extent
Of...

Up from the morning’s creeping mist
the newborn day appeared
and in the briskness of the dawn
the killer hawk we feared

The pumpkin wet with sunrise dew
Reflected the light’s raze
Shinning, round and brimming new
A jewel among the haze

The autumn morn moved slowly on
Until the noon was bold
And warmth...

Value is personal all cultures through.
Check out the visitors seen in your zoo.
Younger kids love to pet the mama ewe
while teens want to watch baby snake’s debut.
I fancy museums, what about you?
Rate old Muslim mosques found in Timbuktu
with the bear claw necklaces of the Sioux.

Fred prefers a mouse
connected by a wire
to his keyboard.
Walt prefers a mouse

that’s portable, able 
to roam over the desk
in Walt’s big hand.
For Walt the danger is

the mouse may slip
and fall off the desk,
hit the floor and break.
That's happened twice.

Fred prefers a wife, one 
he’s had...

Buddhist view on aversion and desire,
cognises oscillations between them,
thereby sidestepping consequence dire,
nipping thorns and flowers, before they stem,
equal in dark and star of Bethlehem.
Cessation by negation, age old ways,
far cry from the tantric, who to joy sways,
dancing at all times in celebration,
imbibing within bliss, that...

Ethics

Taught accurately to account
for each reward an exact amount
a Kantian conscience reprehends
a stray Romantic dividend.

Publicly our just deserts
are measured by our type of work.
For what surgeons are forgiven
clerks and watchmen go to prison.

Few are ushered through the streets
in black sedans by the police
to carpeted chambers...

The yellow moonlight had gone out.
The moon beats quietly.
The stars have fallen on you.
arrived during the day.
The wind mumbled scattering the stars' dew.
Dust
The sky above is gleaming.
Desire is sent out, and love is infused with kindness.
The moon can make the night exciting, once more to...

Hedge

Nature won't be tamed
His hedge grows tall, needs cutting
My view is softened
