Best Prioritised Poems
Betrayal of Blossoms
Some days poetry flows
sometimes it is just words.
In the final spring - a poet
yearned for an immaculate blossom,
for his fingertips to bring a painting into life - to
meticulously cultivate and craft a masterpiece.
I recall an opal oasis full of pearl petals,
glittering with rows of diamond...

I Am Sorry
I am sorry to the ones
Who never had a chance
No love nor opportunities
Due to circumstance
I am sorry to the unheard
The unseen, the forsaken
The forgotten, the disregarded
The ones from which life has only taken
I am sorry to the neglected
The mistreated, the ostracised
The abandoned, the...

1End of days.
End of loves.
What once was precious,
Is now just dust.
End of an era.
End of life.
What was taken for granted
- was that life?
The people we prioritised,
When family was what mattered,
Look at yourself,
You should have known yourself better.

The Clarion Call I ObeyThe clarion call i obey, i was called to serve my fatherland,
to experience a different cultures, norms, beliefs, ideologies to see and feel a different region..
Days gone by, months gone by, i understand the people's clamour, their unimaginable unbearable hardships,
The weather is...

Narrow way wasn't part of my want...

Fire in my heart shows Golliath size,
Nobody knew David would be in God's eyes,

Atheists Under AttackI was called a winter’s child by most people,
Who were in my life when I was a young child,
But I always saw myself as a summer bumpkin,
Sprung from spring as I was optimistic and mild.
Atheists were normally under attack in the seventies,...

On the Flicking of a SwitchThe switch flicks
- and in that moment everything changes.
The flicking switch
rearranges everything;
what was important is suddenly
unimportant. Priorities re-prioritised.
Problems of great magnitude
minimised by the flicking of that switch.
The world is magnified and
suddenly a tiny usually...

James BlackwellSometimes if you have mild Cerebral Palsy,
You don't ever need to admit that you have it,
‘Cos it's not obvious, only you feel the tension,
In your arm, your hand or face, so you bliss it.
James was born with mild CP and did...

The Modern CauseI don’t start off thinking it’s a priority to insult
so if you end up offended it’s probably your fault
opinions can be devisive
one will speak and another won’t like it
offensive views are realised
Someone’s mental state is in a crisis
Start throwing...

BetrayalTo listen, she asked
Your verdict already cast
Expletives punctuating ignorance.
Her tears exciting,
remarks dehumanising,
impossible to retract.
Your reputation prioritised,
her name slandered;
victory yours,
loss hers.
Her life,
a product of yours;
her livelihood,
you attempt to deny.
A provider,
you succeed to be.
Material a measure to your worth,
blood expendable to your notes.
Tempers flared,
intent differed,
the innocent,
deemed...

MoneyWear not the garment of lack,
Wear not the garment of debt,
Wear not the garment of poverty,
Prioritised your business.
Look for money,
Money is a necessity,
Money is happiness,
Money is respect,
Be money oriented,
Thy earthly life involve money,
Believe not the motivational speakers,
they speak...

JUST LIKE THE SAHARAThey say the Sahara was once full of life
Could you believe it? that dead grey sand was once covered by green grass?
These dead dry valleys were once full of water? sounds unbelievable
They say man kind's activities and a little bit of nature did that
If...

Ambling AlongAmbling along here at an easy gait
Smile on our lips, accepting any fate
Amidst turbid life storms, we yet stand strong
Conscience pulse prevents us from doing wrong
Vivified by bliss, that never abates
Agendaless presence, life choices chaste
To the rhythm divine, gently gyrates
Nonjudgmental eye, with love...

Leave Me AloneI HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO FEEL ENOUGH
TO DO ENOUGH OF WHAT I AM REQUIRED TO DO
IT IS LIKE PEOPLE ASSUME IM A DUO
I CAN ONLY DO WHAT I CAN
THROUGH IT ALL I COME BACK EXHAUTED.
EXHAUSTION HAS BECOME MY LIFE PARTNER...
