Best Self Sustained Poems

Had it been my expectations  or was 
it betrayal.                 
The insights withdraw insanity 
climbing up with prayers 
In real time when I was never real,
In hopeless nights when...

A BALLAD TO THE ANCESTORS

Like ripened fruits plucked from a flourishing tree,
They were stolen from a lush paradise garden;
A self sustained dwelling having no need of a warden;
A beautiful paradise where all could work and live free;
But the thieves of the sea came, taking them...

To claim heart's defeat with blind perception,
And burden the world with nurtured weakness.
To cry long with vanity's deception,
As though self-affliction is still blameless.
To bring a grievance, a contrived issue,
That pours from a soul possessed, where pain dwells.
To recall words an attack you construe,
As you rehearse...

What is our purpose?
Why are we here?
Why are we here left in fear shedding all these tears
starring at this demond in this mirrior
blinded by everything I see so clear
where am i going after this life? and is it near?
unanswered questions 
people always always saying swagga...

she leans in space
spins with grace
rotates, vibrates
regenerates

her only disgrace...
hosting the human race

call it abuse; our overuse
neglect with few regrets

past civilizations
cease to exist

do we believe
we're immune?

are we so arrogant
ignorant and blind
not to see reality?

generations give
generations take...

now we greedily consume 
beyond what Earth
can tolerate

our convenient
extravagant lifestyles
exhaust the...

It is simple to laugh
at this sinister comedy,
ablaze with maddening duality.
A true scene of blood-thick bonds,
breaking never, but
somehow,
tightening, like a noose
around the throat of the last
living,
thinking organism,
ascending beyond basic self judgment,
embracing those strange strings
bound to his every feature,
gladly frisking about for the puppeteers.
I wonder,
if those...

Where do the nocturnal wild flowers grow?
In the darkest depths of my secret soul?
I’ve heard tales of blooms and how they glow.
As embers burn along a seam of coal.

In the darkest depths of my secret soul,
I’ll find myself if I dare to explore.
As embers burn...

Like a statue I want to be,
never have needs, 
or stems I want to grow, 
heavy with grains and fruits,
a self sustained being,  
let us needy hungry not be.

Since the start of time 
your destiny was shaped
by your cell's needs,
a petty survival,
worshiping for this,
eating...

I am a person known to few
I am an individual just like you.
I am a person unknown to most
I believe in the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
I am a symbol of individualization
With the understanding and realization
I can be whatever I desire
I can uplift and inspire
I...

Where Raleigh wrote on regal window pane
I will embark to swim
She warns me that the kelp will disdain
The journey hard and grim
But all because you call again, and call
Beyond the brim where ships enthralled
Have floundered, I am challenged to rise
And show nobility frugal fire of...

His policy views shift randomly
with the ever changing political winds
Whatever he ousted yesterday — 
tomorrow, presto change-o ... 
tweetle de dum, it’s blowing back in

Mirror, mirror chimera,
a thousand faces that constantly change
Mirror, mirror chimera,
your countenance of pride remains the same

In a planning Session,
he vows to...

PS contests – self sustained muse,
Versatile mix to pick and choose.
Soothing lullabies by Eve
Swing us to childhood retrieve.

Kai’s round cube confirms the theme
That things are not the way they seem.
Unseeking Seeker holds his rights
For congruous aligned insights.

Tanja maintains incessant fun
By unrestricted bawdy fun.
You wish to...

Born perhaps with a special gene configuration
Every situation needlessly prompts my rash reaction.

Poise, the stable state of the balanced mind
Always takes an untimely flight evading me
Triggered by the discord in my self-sustained psyche
I react prematurely when I should be silent
Engaged in invited rows I've learnt...

In a world once illuminated by the gold of bygone times,
A dark veil is now woven, a prison for lost souls,
Where critical spirit and free thought are but whispered memories,
Control of education becomes the key to inescapable conformity.
Values are distorted, and obedience becomes the supreme...
