Best Relevant Poems

The piercing stench of sulfur and death tears through my nostrils
Angels of retribution spread disaster as told by many apostles
My flesh melts but leaves not the bone like skin encasing the sun
legions of demons surround me leaving nowhere to run

I pray to be lifeless not realising I hold no breath
The weight of my sins within...

Decisions formed from words devoid of vision,

Blind letters without even dots to the eyes!
What will make the difference?

To the virtue less rhyme of our soulless times,

In this virtual pantomime!

There is so much “out there not to find”

In this almost (middle-ages) portrait of a work unsigned.

No trace on bodies that lie beneath a war-clouded sky

Yet on...

Further relevant observations on Kingship* picked at random from the THIRUK-KURAL
   [* generic term for heads of state, dictators and the like]

K738: piniyinmai chelvam vilaivuinbam eemam
           anienba naadditkuiv ainthum

A country's jewels are these five: unfailing health,
Fertility, and joy, a sure defence, and wealth....

in to the wilderness
          wandering
              mountain&plains
seeking
  directions
     to a promised

Sometimes, the heart has to cry 
Even the heart has tear ducts
 pumping tears with the bloodlines through its veins
Supplies do the blood flows through it has generational curses 
The hearts linked to the brain that must recite God's Scripture His verses 
And as the tears flow down the face of the seat down around...

Give it up for the stars of your show
a title that you lost long ago!
Give up your spots
turn in your one shot
because someone more relevant will leave you to rot.

You’re nothing special!
You’re not unique!
And you’re not the first to be treated like a freak!
Face it, you’re invisible
and no one cares for you at all.
Doesn’t matter...

To think passing time with the question posed
And pluck from my ponders what I am not
Reveals an answer from the calm of mind
When my stranger perceptions formulate
To persuade me with inferior choice
And steal the security of what I am
And hold steadfastly to bridges I built
That span the solace of all that I am
When I find...

Is God Becoming Less Relevant?

Look around you! It’s becoming
 quite evident.
Living for God is becoming
 “less relevant.”

Many profess to be intelligent and “wise.”
But don’t believe in God, 
or want him in their lives!

They try to keep living, as if God
 “doesn’t exist.”
Yet all of his creation is in their midst!

Perhaps they don’t want to acknowledge...

See, I'm not surprised
I kind of expected her to speak your language.
I know, you know, I once did too.

I can't write since you left,
You know, it was hard hearing her
Say all that, like a cherry on top.

Speaking of cherries,
Do you remember the taste of my lips?
Or does 'fruity' still make you nauseous?

Do I regret coming...

Shines
the darkness
in
ghostly  hints...
Shine artificial 
substances
pretended
to be gold...
Shine
the fake
bleaches
politicians...
Shines
the  real shine 
 of the star...
Shines
the relevance
of the divine  
truth...!...

The most relevant thing in love,
               it's not how much money is available
               ... but how much of love you have...!

Commemoration for those gone before 
Affectation of all you continue to adore 
Altercation at the start of a burgeoning world war 
Annihilation of the injured, innocent and poor 

Commensurate collusion of the parliamentary debate 
Irreverent confusion at the celebration of the state 
Degenerate delusion as they refuse to integrate 
Protectorate protrusion while the masses consecrate...

Monopolising Youth And Sorrow



Elevations of my soul soar toward the remnants of a dream 

Revelations on growing old pour out from behind a stifled scream 

Contemplations on what is sold when they are looking to demean 

Vaccinations for a cold that conjures up something else that we need to clean 



Hybrid inflections of my own...

A Distant Shore

Beached upon a distant shore I wondered about my life 
Beseeched by solitude all I could pour out was sadness & strife 
I reached for something in the distance that looked like it was a knife 
It teached me to be indifferent as I knew my thoughts were running rife

Extending out with a...

Protesting The Moment

Illuminating the night by the light of a bonfire 
Captivating the insight before one’s mind begins to tire 
Emigrating out of fright as one’s own government becomes a liar 
Abdicating all your rights as they burn your life upon the pyre 

Procession of a line for food that western lives refuse to see
Intercession...
