Best Statues Poems

There are certain people
 who appear to be normal on the outside 
like the have it all together.
To me, these people remind me of walking statues,
that walk around wearing these big genuine 
ridiculous phony smiles. 

Once you go beneath the surface,
 its a whole different...

Of clay and water, I am made;
day in, day out, here I stay.
My soul, it yearns, to live and learn; 
as humans have, for all times turn.

As passersby, all stare at me; 
I ever long to be set free.
Trapped here in a stony chest; 
I...

If we can’t tell stories 
about our past
—the future stays untold

If judged by standards
out of time
—the fault beyond control

Our history always
both good and bad
—correction on the rise

What happened, happened,
as time rolls on
—and yesterday reminds

(Independence Square Philadelphia: March, 2021)...

Monumental statues
   so quickly torn down
by radical, woke vision
   Truth, a ghost town

Sewer workers' heroes
   too, have to go
They carry out the
   'Plans of the Man'
Don't you know?...

Located underground
   Can't tear those statues 'down'
Will they...

Stone Cold Statues

Clothe the saints.  
Whosoever sees their flesh
will be damned to the great kiln.

I love their garments, the sculptor’s breath
on billowing stone, their faces white
like hosts of God turned man,

of bread turned God, and sinners
turned harmless in unleavened circles.
I am not of the...

On this UBI's Day, May 1st, to observe the greatest socioeconomic concept ever conceived.


You can't have all you want
but not having all you need,        
it's a pity, unworthy economic being,
don't expect a man plant
growing grains, fruits and juices,
rise...

The Statues of the Land are Weeping

The statues of the land are weeping
weeping in Dakota hills
for all the blameless dead.
The bald eagle cries out still
with Native blood on his head.
Vultures devour what remains
of a people’s civilization,
the tears of many nations.

The statues of the land are...

On this UBI's Day, May 1st, to observe the greatest socioeconomic concept ever conceived.

UBI, what if I'm missing the necessary.
Solve it, opportunity for statues.
Long version 

This statue down there,
across me, don't know
what hunger is 
and what's to be needy.
No needy left a statue,
at the most...

I can only live in a garden
where warped talons
of tiger tulip petals mar
unbroken lines of pastel shimmer,
not where silent cerulean lakes
float as though aloft 
in frames of polished stone 
to tell the cloudless sky,
I'm your offspring.
I smile for blighted statues
mocked by companies of peonies 
effervescing...

HISTORY CHANGING IN THE MAKING

A very touchy subject now
Who is behind this movement?

The hate they build inside themselves
say history should be changed
They'll tear this country all apart
till history's rearranged

Hide the truth from everyone
The good, the bad whatever
Tell your children anything
What's in the books? (was never)

Somewhere...

Statues Out of Stone…

As I pass the time tonight 
It seems the words may rhyme
But right or wrong 
Still doesn’t make much sense to me
Because I’m lost in my thoughts
Wondering if all I’ve sought
Will stem from all I am about to leave
Still there is indecision
Though...

Who knew that "Hoodoos" were here
Where 50 million year old totems appear?
An 1875 find by Ebenezer Bryce,
Sandstone spires that engage and entice.
Human shaped pinnacles of sediment stone
Ascending from canyon floors, standing alone.
Paiute powers may stir the "voodoo" in you,
Haunting images, a native ethereal view.
Amphitheaters of...

Adonis in obsidian
Midnight Heracles
My Orpheus, though out of key,
You sing the dark right out of me
Achilles himself had a weakness;
Yours is within your chest:
The golden heart that’s beating
Within an ebony breast
Olympians play chess with their mortals
Hades takes the rest
Still, Iron Apollo,
You rise and set in...

Faithful few
Filled the 
Firmament with
Fundamental fervour
Finally finding, through
Fastidious fellowship,
Future fanatical friends and
Fulfilling the fine frequency
Favourable for forgiveness.
Finally....
