Best Protocol Poems

Funeral Cortege Sans Protocol

The autumnal equinox period 
Spells time for worship, pilgrimages
Rituals and a pandemonium
Of festivities and gay hyperactivities

The elephant godhead idol
Over decked, anointed
With all fervour is immersed 
In its watery bed amidst chantings
Its worshipped form 
Turns to formlessness

The formless deities rise at dawn 
Bleating...

It isn’t hard to explain
You do my head in
There, can I make it any more plain
You dress like a man
Make love like the dead
Does anything else need to be said
So without further ado
I say goodbye from me to you
Okay well said
Here she comes
Right, go for...

"Don't panic! Just pretend you're dead
and he won't even know you're there!"
"Seriously? And just who in the world
gave you that advice... the bear?"...

My mind is not yet able,
To sit at God’s table,
With love’s child, the label,
By my heart, is who I am,
My life is no sham,
Love is who I am,

That which is of the Lamb,
Love~the meekness of who I am,
My I am, the band of meekness,
Has no...

With protocol to wear face shield and mask
midst body temperature scanning task
we pray* for blest Christmas gift
best health of well-being lift
though in social distancing we can't bask.

Okay let's get the etiquette straight
I walk towards you, I nod
You nod back
Works all around the world
What doesn’t work, is, you're stopping
Stopping is bad
It’s a protocol thing
One must never stop and engage one
You just don’t do it
I really don’t want to know about your corns
Don’t...

This was the explicit exploration 
Exasperation Continuation.
Molly laid across the bed with a 
Pair of lacey underwear. Damian 
Adored the exhibition. Her subtle
Sensuous submission. He reached
For her hips as she slid beneath the
Sheets he removed her underwear.
She smiled at him. "This was the
Ultimate the promising...

Just because I remained silent,
trust me it still happened;
Adjust to make it all bearable
robust so emotions are monitored;

Talk is cheap so I just wander away,
chock it up to the writing on the wall;
Knock but I simply won't answer;
Padlock and avoid a dance of protocol....

Poetry is
The melodic glue that
Holds and resonates 
The humanistic fabric of mankind...

I was lying on the ground, in my camo coverall,
Looking all small, chubby sure, but definitely not tall,
When I noticed the beautiful rainbow-like waterfall,
And could not help but wonder at familial protocol.
What would do my mischievous cousin ornery Paul?
Would he dance and sing in this...

Got dropped by my colleague
In the evening
A free ride
Slept on the way
 to remain free from 
A debt loved and loathed 
Known by the name of memory
There is something 
A thing 
Or
The thing
That requires to be followed
Prescription adherence
Be home in the evening
To sleep away the...

Every Society has processes and procedures,
A certain amount of entitlements for everyone,
but when prejudice sets in, conveniently, the
status quo gets tossed in the wind,
The Supremists save all the perks and benefits for the elite,
because "regular" folks are not worthy,
so our biased society chooses to
be dirty...

He had announced, “My dad’s ill, expected to die.”
In my pastor’s jacket, I slipped some wherewithal.

Watching him don his coat from a pew nearby,
hands in his pockets, he found unforeseen windfall.

Staring at its contents, three times he wiped his eye.
It was thanks enough - pay...

N-eatness protocol cleans
I-nvisible dirt of the devil; 
K-illing the pandemic plague
K-eeps one from being
I-ll.

G-et neatness protocol
I-nto the glorious victory; 
O-bliterate the vicious
V-irus of morbid mystery.
A-pply the health standard, 
N-icely use the alcohol; 
N-ew normal now employs
I-ts neatness protocol.
