Best Provoking Poems

Where is our defense? Suspense!
Where do we go from here? Fear!
Stop the nonsense. No pretense.
Stop the mad Bear coming near
Seems the time is right, to fight
Seems this’ a game, with no blame
We must fight but for right
We must tame every name
Where are our mistakes? At...

Before we can realize , should'nt we first recognize ?
don't we have to first cognize , to realize ,
only to recognize , our sense of surrounding reality ?

If we have a limited sense perception ,
would'nt we also lack immediate impression ?

elusive our sense of depth...

A word that lately gets little traction
     though when used provokes quite a reaction

   I find it singularly persuasive ~ 
     to describe the world today as 'invasive'...

thought provoking silence
makes a girl
sad

a shattered mirror
where shards glisten
of dreams  although beautiful
are dead

Internal
reflection I
am still searching for something

But firework sparks
have glistened in the monlight
where
I am so mesmerized
that i pause to intakke
a single breath

SO cool
is the air
as I watch puffs
of my warm breathe
mingle with heavy...

Ah Anger! One of the seven deadly sins
A scourge that ravages the mind of man,
Alas! In an imperfect world only evil wins
A tiny spark consumes the forest in fire,
Peace prevails when he reins in his ire.

So why would I look back in anger
to recall with...

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,...

You don’t like love.
You love it,
Don’t you?
Always have,
Always will.
Necessity is the mother of all creation.
But what about the Father? 
In due time you will see,
You will all see.
Father, Mother.
Sister, Brother.
We are all adopted.
One another.
Even though your tears are real,
You know what is owed.
You know the...

Are you really conscious? Aware of your world?
Or can you just not comprehend a life that is so unfurled?

It's this degree of consciousness that needs to be understood.
If we delved a little deeper, enough to lift the intellectual hood.

It's these multiple facets of consciousness that...

The Trail of Tears was in men’s thoughts before 1492.
Almost four-hundred years cleared the Cherokee-Selma path.
Blood dries up like rain.
Stains fade from red to black.
Rainbows are present only in discarded kaleidoscopes.

Czars scattered the seed of Lenin like talk in small town bars,
Plowed under like wet...

Hey wet river.
Hello dry bones.
Feel the rhythm?
Hear the tones? 
Wet, wet,
The river gives.
Wet, wet,
The river takes.
Walk along the brooks and streams,
Run along the ponds and lakes.
Close my eyes,
I hear no more.
I will exhaust,
I will explore.
Through the forest,
I run, I run.
Fear for when
My time is done.
Kick...

"Only in their dreams can men be truly free. 'twas always thus and always thus will be."
Carpe Diem. 
Nothing more than false hope and the possibility it promises, as real as, cars of sand. 
A call to act on boundless ambition inspires the populus, 
however,...
