Best Reproved Poems
The Promised LandI look forward to that rising tide
The current has never been so low
That we sail in style so calm
Rest deepens without panic
The tweets sweeter than never
The sun brighter than ever
Mr sailor how did you stir on course?
Because i still see...

Go For ItLife is a dangerous struggle
Full of inconsistencies, challenges and pains
Life is not fair even to the fair skinned
The dark skinned are not faring better either
In everyone's backyard a little rain must drop
Whatever be your lot, set your goals and go for...

Soldier of AgesDedicated to Lt. Gen. George S. Patton, Jr. (November 11, 1885 – December 21, 1945)
I'd fought a hundred battles
through the ages past and new
I'd been a lowly foot soldier

Kings and Castles -Everyone had a unique reason for playing the Game
as we find different means for surviving Life
until the proper seconds of Death come stomping by with insistence,
some want intellectual respect shown with agitation in the opponent's eyes,
others crave the anxiety of prognostication
like gladiators uncertain of...

Ode
Henry Morgan the PrivateerHenry Morgan was an admiral of the Royal Navy
In his time, commissioned, but most found him crazy
Such that the Spanish called him a pirate rebellious
Whilst he considered himself with the truth not hazy
He took Campeche in 1663 as a captain
And attacked Spanish ships off Mexico’s...

Sister JobLike a goat
watching her kid
boil in her milk,
My how Sister Job's heart
must have ripped.
Clasping her breast
and beating her head
when she discovered
her children were dead.
Then searching for shelter-
some place to hide to mourn-
somewhere to cry
And finding only relics
of what her children had left
from the time they...

A Foolish Wish of a Non-Blue-Blooded QueenLynn, the tom-boy of Herald Square, couldn't be compared to Princess
Diana, or a similar one for finesse to perfectly fit in a royal scene;
that ordinary gal had a foolish wish of a non-blue-blooded Queen,
who rarely smiled, or said, " Thank you. " when they...

God Still Works In MeReminded that God sees me groaning in pain
Whenever I languish in gloom, and in misery remain
Earnestly hoping for His miracle to gain...
Now, I triumph in Him* for working in me around His love’s domain
…Since before, in frustration, my heart was terribly slain!
Exhorted that God hears...

StonesI walked by the glasshouse
Everything bad was quite apparent
I felt the stones in my pocket
That I thought I should throw
But then I felt them spike my feet
I was reminded from whence I came
The rock reproved me-
Are you so pure?
You- who were born from the dust
You...

Touching LivesLet’s express loving touch power
delighting every family member
marked by trust we can offer
securing home with peace-cover
against infidelity wrecker.
Let’s show respect-touch in our truth-declaration
as we strive to build lives with dedication
teaching along virtuous instruction
nurturing next generation
while learning from failures’ frustration.
Let’s be generous with...

Gauging My OwnWhen amidst broken equals, we approved,
Ere a freed grain of nomadic sand slipped,
Melancholic surrendered, whole reproved,
Monitor the saved life single and stripped.
Two separate paths once joined normally,
One courses happiness, opposite naught,
Depraved, unprincipled, lived lukewarmly,
Blossomed languishes, internally fraught.
Provocative commencement surefire fade,
Arrangements, invites, sent cancellations,
Heartbreaking embattles a...

The Tortoise and the GeeseThe lake was then dry, not even dank,
The tortoise himself had grown lank.
The fox had departed the field,
Since the scorching sun was no shield.
The geese, like the plovers before,
Voyaged to some hills of galore.
Tortoise who was known to be sly
Became rueful turning to cry.
How can...

PropagandaI am that even more
Walking on grounds of open shore
You can not take from me
Where I stand hard concrete foundations repeat
Remind me that what ever you try to take from me
Understanding motives shall be replaced see
How many times you try I see you clearly
Come toward...

Wait and SeeDo you know what plan God has for you?
Can you wait and see? Have you not known?
Have you not heard, that the Everlasting God,
The LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth,
Does not faint, nor is He weary?
His understanding is impossible to comprehend or...

The ManA man acquainted with sorrows and grief
be it then was bruised for our relief
the ones ruling over them kept them in pain
but struck was he so we might Life regain
All like sheep have wandered astray
but he announced to the crowds Gods new day
