Best Reneged Poems


Premium Member Through Blinders
The truth can’t be seen through blinders.
Eyes and ears covered with hatred.
The tongue’s ready-lash sidewinders,
twisting and spinning what’s sacred.

The truth, the fact, reality
masked - the masses bobble their heads.
The illusion of blasphemy
here, when the scripture’s left unread.

No need for truth, when it’s made up.
“What is...

Frankenstein's Lament
I have no spirit.
I have no soul.
I am nothing more than a terrible troll.
I’ll never see Heaven,
And this is my Hell,
To be shunned by all men and the fair mademoiselle.

I was made by a madman,
Assembled from parts
Of decaying cadavers, and life from a spark.
My twisted...

    Mr. Biden pledged his word
       so solemn, sincere...

    He's just reneged on his pledge

And Woody Herman Played
Blues in the Night.

A malignant moon
shines his metallic claws -
combs my hair and brushes me forward.
I am alone in the shadowy crooks 
of a poisoned metropolis.

A clandestine garbage chute -
where waifs and strays burn
within the fetid bowels 
of a cavernous concrete underbelly.

The orphanage awaits my...

Politician Ways
Politicians are the most pretentious
 to emerge from the primordial mulch 
of creation.
They pretend to love, 
they pretend to care,
In the case of them doing any deal 
remotely benefiting constituents
 is on condition they profit in prestige, 
wealth and a seat, a boardroom chair.

They hug...

You
You
Are
So blessed
Empowered
Sweet and so simple
World, with you, smiling all your life
No promises reneged as life propels you to do
No excuses as visions in life encircle everything to be right and World smiles
You are God's best creation among the created because with you, everything comes alive...

Your Promise
I waited a long time
Many times after you said goodbye
When was your last goodbye?
When you said it out of time

I stayed a long time
Too many times after you disappeared
You left me alone in no time
Even when you said everything are all cleared

I believed in you...

Nigeria,
Nigeria, the Soul of my Pride (Part One)
Nigeria, my country, where mournful of pledges aren’t reneged?
Indomitable she would have maintained, if crowns aren’t clowns
Gyrating on the mishaps, wearing wan gumption—unwelcome!
Ears do attend; but eyes haven’t yet seen what watery mouths do speak (of).
Roasting are to...

If I Could
If I could, I would write a love poem that never exist
But exist in the lost mind of the betrayal of love.
If I could, I would stop the movement of the clock,
If I could go to heaven to see God, I would go
On sunday and...

My Case
My heart would please one soothing word from anywhere,
All whom I know no one could one pleasing word spare.
My skin could use one pleasing touch and any care,
But all that cares is the loneliness that she left.

My heart had been amused like a happy village,
And...

Osama Docudrama
Itinerant mercenary shrouded with penitent robe
Shining beacon for terrorists around the globe
Hermetic curmudgeon; gun-toting xenophobe
Zealous provacateur who for ardent jihadists did probe

Material wealth a means; establishing a caliphate the end
Seeking Arab-royalty's, sovereign-sheikdoms to rend
Scourge of terror to blight all that western values defend
Sharia law to...

Jinping Pong
China claims that the Taiwan Strait
Does not divorce it from its mate
But China's been busted
It can not be trusted
Since it reneged on Hong Kong's fate!...

Father's Logical Thinking
I tried to tell me young bloke about the job behind a ‘barrer’,
and I’ll admit it’s hard to keep him on the straight and ‘narrer’.
It’s not that I have the coppers bashing down our flamin’ door,
but he always takes the long road; charging like a...

I
In words I paint myself
on the canvas of the world,
and patiently wait for the day
I'm completed.
Blasphemers will burn me, 
and light will turn black...
"No monster walked the Earth," they will weep
and tremble...
No!
It will have been... I...
I will have been
reneged redemption....
