Best Shunning Poems
SHUNNING
Shun this world, so upside down, that
it views wrongs … as if wrongs right.
Morality’s now immorality
from its sins … please take flight.
A world corrupted with greed, lust,
no morality, just hate.
Why many not shocked discovering,
their friend … slept with their mate.
World’s sick disease, is “I” problem,”
I want, I want, I’ll get.
I’m the best, deserve the best,
best sex, best job … best jet.
Shunning means, you will not accept,
this world lies, filth, and grime.
Immorality, racism,
false religion’s … and crime.

You are not a member of our family
Therefore we choose to lock you outside our door
Banishishing you to never
Never again darken our door
Your emaciated hands have lost their strength
The whispers you shout have fallen on deaf ears
We have always been stonger than you
Within your grip we have discovered our own resilience
Losing our appetite for your false promises
This pathway emerges beyond your darkness
Time deafens us to your whispers
For long enough we have been your domino effect
Feel our weight as we align ourselves against you
Our borders have been fortified
Consciencely built brick by brick
The mortar of our love extricating you from our spaces
Our new mosaic formed in light
New possibilities
Today is the beginning of this
This power
This life
This realization
That as you shrink
Our world enlarges
Until you are less
Less than nothing
Replaced by freedom
The way we are meant to be
Empowered and filled
With an appetite for living
My wife is the team leader for an eating disorder program here in Kelowna.
I wrote this as a way to empower families to align together against the disorder.

I know you think i'm a horrible person
From what you have been taught
Your mind and time wasted
without a second thought
I realize that years have gone by
And that I hardly even know you
I want you to know that I love you
But when I look at you I feel sorrow
I am not like them
I am still your family
I am not evil
I am just a man.
Now we are in the same shoes
And you know what it is like
For a family to turn its back on its own
Is like living with no light
I want you to know that you are safe
And it's safe here to be yourself
I wont let them hurt you
I can be your shield
I ll be your protector
I can help you heal
I am so calloused and beaten
Yet I am so strong
I cannot stand the thought
Of a family member wishing,
for a family to belong

Kale Brereton
This is the story of a young lady named Lue,
Who didn't exactly, know what to do.
Her father, a scholar, a man of great means,
Had taken over her life, or so it did seem.
A patriarch strong, stalwart and true;
Intense convictions, his world askew.
Ideas anathema to his family's ears;
His children's ideals did he justly fear.
A man is a fool who cannot compromise;
He is neither worthy, nor is he wise.
One who would impart erroneous views;
Exploiting the children for his own personal muse.
It was not a decision easily made,
Not one to a parent would have ever betrayed.
A final, fateful decision to be forever apart,
A choice of the spirit and breaking heart.
Thus it was made for all time to come,
That the father be shunned, never more to come home.
All because a man would not bend his will,
Forever to him, his family be still.
Denial Contest
I invite all human kind
to shun Trumpeting Towers
because they are irrelevant
to all MeWe things therapeutic
And because
my depressing blues songs
and green signs
tell
and retell
ultra-nonviolet me
we don't feed narcissistic
angry red
rabidly stampeding
ballistic elephants
Cuz it's not healthy
nor resiliently wealthy,
compassionately unwise.
And though it's a fact
that you will continue to crawl through
the caves of my mind,
I will not acknowledge you.
I will not speak your name
again
even when I see your eyes in my mirror,
even when I taste your lips in every wine.
I will not take heed of your whispers in my dreams
or your touch in the very blood that rushes through me.
I will not let you see that you've broken me.
I will not dance with your ghost
I will not mourn you
I will not tiptoe around our grave
nor will my shadow do.
So don't think of me when you read these words,
don't think of me at all.
Don't remember the mist or rain or poetry
and forget the memory of touch.
I shun you, loved one,
I ban you to a barren land
where only my heart still lives.
Today's world is such a mess
With evils integration
We see daily the list of lies
Beyond investigation
And yet above us flies the flag
That denies lies infestation
Taking us where injustice cries
Of greeds determination
Education comes disguised
As honesties demonstration
Using tools that often deny
For the sake of ostracization
Giving reason to the words
Of prejudice inflammation
Joining ideals of false accusers
They invent instigation
We ask why the cause of certain ones
to have this type of fixation
The reason given this time around
Because of there migration
Quiet goes the unaware
Given to hesitation
While even comes to the extreme
Of the livings extermination
The bridge too far has been crossed
With flagrant allegations
Leaders are chosen and given charge
Of wild extreme vexations
But almost goes to the cause
Of evils infiltration
Thanks to God for concerns
We find through Revelation
