Best Propounded Poems

I 'spose there are many religious tenets open to interpretation.
Old John Calvin proposed another upon receiving inspiration,
When he propounded the ticklish matter of predestination,
Thereby, causing more angst concerning one's eternal salvation!

Most folks blithely saunter along live's treacherous path,
Trying their best to behave and avoid their...

"HOME"



Inside my heart
like a beating 
fleshy molusc

unfurling like 
the darkest 
Blood Red Rose

there in the 
very core 
of Me

sits stoic enthroned 
an etheric Pearl
hidden

like a Key

On it is written
“Daughter”
“Honesty”

Travel with it
in your memory
as you cross your Seas

In your heart is 
your true mind’s key
to guide...

A new path is what we seek.
The surroundings are taking a peek,
Going through, very meek,
Seeing no bleaks,
Getting piqued,
While hearing creaks,
In the new paths that we seek...

The new path is what is found,
Going through forests bound,
Going through the path inbound,
With soothing and raging water sounds.
Walking confound,
Silence...

Unquotable quotes: Philosophers – XXII

Take Socrates: the insignia of a true philosopher is the bald pate and the luxuriant beard – the very reason why women make for such pathetic philosophers.
The bald pate facilitates the evaporation of the scorching heat generated by deep thought, and...

Here we are the African Youth
Waiting endlessly to be leaders of tomorrow
As propounded by our predator Overlords
Decades have passed and the wait continues

For many years gone by
We have been Cannon fodder and thugs
Propping up the old order
Drenched continually in broken promises

In schools we were inundated
With...

He wanted everything and he claimed he had it all,
He wanted perfection and he thought he could have it ,
He wanted freedom with endless happiness ,
He mounted courage bigger than mountain everest ,
He granted wishes so he did all with money and fame ,
He thought...

Two great minds had a tete-a-tete
to apply their intellectual grace
to the achievement of a utopian state
and improving the condition of the human race.

Said one, "Religion leads to violence,
foolish thought and senseless wars.
Therefore, replace all faith with science
and utopia will certainly be ours."

Said the second, "No,...

I see this ulcer
Mind boggling in perception
Body arresting in phenomena
Of diverse shapes and designs
Magnificently wrought together
In one whiff of putrid scent
It is of an exotic nature
Magnanimously growing out of context
Thus ticking with apocalyptic dimensions  
Of the many continents sprawled around 
They inadvertently bore this...

"Wow!" Everyone is desperately chasing somebody,
It brings the context;shadow and a moving object, 
Trying very well just to be somebody's replica,
 Forcefully fixing the tooth to where it doesn't project,
If I'm to trust myself,then I need to die skeptical, 
The market wasn't able to provide...

(unsettled conscience beckons expunging)

Upon espying aesthetically pleasing lass
(considerably younger than me),
middle aged ma'am, or classy older woman
impetuousness overtakes rationality
courting acquaintanceship constituting

aforementioned type female
these premature ejaculations
blindside yours truly
upon comfort level
of unfamiliar lady recipient,

(especially years gone by
with then young daughters in tow)
oft times lacked conscientious wherewithal,
how embarrassing...

Look

looking at time standing still
the raven the largest of all
sets us aside and waits
fluid station and people tussling here
and there looking at smiles
awake
lay your head down
propounded by Vikings
slinging the colder
much older
reminiscing love as a vision
eyes wide open
pupils dilated in a transfixed state
evolution of counterparts alluded
climb...

Covid-19; Hunger-20 (A duet)

Wems Henry Temmy

If money can turn the wise fool
What will agony be to bones that suffer calcium? 
If death is a pleasure to watch a game on stool 
What shall bring fear to the heart dwelling in crematorium? 
It is true "money...
