Best Ransoms Poems


Premium Member Easter Prayer
Lord of love, on this day with blood did buy
this chance for all to rise from ransoms paid.
With forgiving grace that must not ever die,
whose sacrifice laid bare with shame, betrayed.

Rare, as spring's new life in immortal bloom,  
you cast the bounds drawn cold...

Premium Member A Soldiers Prayer
Wearily I walk this rutted road
Knowing this life led yet is mine
Due is all ransoms for my soul
To every witness I leave behind
Lift my heart to spare no love
To be a light for shadows cast
I draw my strength from God above
With hope that seeks the...

News flash
Paris attacks;
Violence strikes

Innocent deaths
Terror unveils;
Death delivers

Madness conspires
Human debris;
Bigotry unleashed

Evil men scheme
Distorted agendas;
Self-destruct roams

Good people die
Bloodbath escalates;
Terror unleashed

Signs of our times
Deceptive turbulence;
Mortal casualties

Moods swayed
Fear catapults;
Distorted means

Uneasy chimes
Violent crimes;
Explosive times!

Details of gore
News galore;
Killing fest

Retribution

Sorrow sums
Deadly outcomes;

Bombs and bullets

I knew a wayward man; 
His eyes shadowed with defeat.
His sunken lips and hollow cheeks, 
mapping his journey.

He cannot reach, nor walk a step, 
his will has met it's match.
Lost to his own deceit, 
to liars and ransoms!

His life disguised by tainted thoughts, 
and to...

Sounds of the Ghetto
I can hear the wicked shots rangin',
Hood stars on the avenues hangin',
You hear the sounds of the ghetto
and loose change in B.U.Ms[brothers under madness]
metal cups clangin',

That poverty noise is 1 of the hood anthems,
Bailbondsmen collectin' hood ransoms,
and crooked police we can't stand'em,

And we're fed up...

Twas the Night Before a Miracle
Twas the night before a miracle, in a far away land 
Traveled Mary and Joseph across the deserts white sand
The journey produced a mother-to-be all weary and worn
As she prays and awaits the birth of her first to be born

Traveling several days and several nights
Joseph's...

Hoard healthy highs
End etch enough
Add apt apply
Roam rivers rough
Trendy true tries


Hope hurls healing
Etch earns ending
Art aims asking
Reap real risking
Trust truth tasking


Help hurting hires
Embrace empty
Apt art aspires
Relieve rowdy
Toilsome touch tires


Hoist heavy hounds
End each explore
Art airs astound
Risk ripe restore
Trip tipsy town


Harsh hurting heat
Endow entreat
Applause appliqué
Reach rich repeats
Toss...

Thirst of Peace
Remove disturbing lines from the real life, 
Drawn by anti peace human beings,
Who like wars and brutality, 
Because these lines are disturbing,
Peaceful human beings,
Who likes peace and love….

To make this world,
A place of love and peace,
Where everyone have equal rights to live,
Where no wars and...

Premium Member Sinister
It takes your money and robs you of time,
Chimes for attention, and rings with crime.

Your give it the power to mold and control
Unending hours, absorbed by its hold.

An instant response is expected, demanded.
Heeded is good but delayed? Reprimanded!

All in-person prowess becomes diminished.
Face to face talking...

As I Write
As I write
I think deeply as I write, even though some of the my characters may be shallow
I write with love, even though the personnages portayed may be hateful
I write joyfully even if the subject matter may be tainted with sadness
I write with great hope...

Premium Member When I Was Fortysomething 2000s
I saw the great con that was Y2K
I saw all the scaremongering go away

I saw in my arms a child I love so
I saw that I did not want to let him go

I saw that I was truly blessed
I saw it but would never have...

I see him working like a horse or bull or donkey or buffalo; never resting peacefully even to swallow a mouthful of the meal and as though has time to just ruminate; hurrying yet consulting his physician every two days; gulping his medicines while walking...

Money
A long verse on an even longer subject

The eye of most everything is money
Their power over us is unsurpassed
Hey, got the dough? May call me “honey”
To get away, to buy me things, to have a blast

We name them greenbacks, moolah and bitcoin
The cash, the buck,...
