Best Substituted Poems
Hell's HospitalityThe sun cries for us, its heat fades away
snowflakes sprinkle round its orbit, yet go unmelted
it feels like evening, but its yet noon
time never changes its pace but now runs from a rifle
daylight sadly pretends, just to soften night's mockery.
Blood has substituted the rains
death has...

Hiv PositiveHIV Positive
I am HIV positive that I know,
But I will exercise my civic right,
As my blood continues to flow,
For my views to be heard I will fight.
Known to have been wayward and careless,
That does not mean I cannot be benevolent,
Which had made me to be...

After the SlapEverybody’s seen it
And discussed it to no end,
Wondering what repercussions
It may yet portend.
But to have a welcome chuckle,
Go check out James Corden’s song.
If will guarantee a grin and likely,
You will sing along.
For the writer took the Bruno tune,
Which most of us now know,
And just substituted...

Obligated OrderPull on the rope keep climbing
Apologies and compensation
are in order for the disorder
to the labeled minority
brothers mothers and daughters
caused by the distorters
corrupted system creates limitations
of your elegance therefore
frustration substituted freedom
blinded by the fact the opponents
were careless of the situations
of supressions to live on...

Mathematical LoveI decide not to worry about the parallelness
Of the tangents to the circles of our life story
The equation of the curve of my initial decision
Of you being my number tan45 was differentiated
As the union of your sets and conditions of your answers
Of your reply did...

An Ode To the Scavenger(1)
Strophe
Slowly and slowly fly the mighty feathers:
the uncanny wrath bearer, the poacher's prey,
the bald bizzare stigmatic cryptic creature, the ecology's majestic role player;
the curtain raiser of ecosystem's air purifier.
Alas! Your iconographic role is omitted,
you, the saviour of the mortal race
from the contagious diseases.
Astounded! How...

Ballad
Eat, Sleep, Love, RepeatLight, the kind that brings the faintest glimmer of hope,
appeared suddenly through a darkened wood;
like an oasis after travelling through the Sahara so parched
with thirst threatening to take my life for good.
Though death’s bony palm lazily gripped my arm,
it was just rough enough for me...

Once I Was a Prince - Part ThreePart Three
...swishing away with your sunshrivelled burgundy knotty arms with broad disdainful harvesting sweeps the cobras come out to water in the sweltering heat by the thatched fly-buzzed hole
your low under-the-breath warning tones a reminder of the will of your self-inflicted charge
you never...

Years of HurtWhilst the majority of domestic violence perpetrators are men I am fully aware that men are sometimes victims as well, therefore this poem is written in such a way that 'he' and 'his' can be substituted with 'she' and 'her', and 'girls' with 'boys.'

Monster In-LawA ship controlled by multiple captains, a home by an extra head
her presence makes it void of comfort with an unkempt bed.
Supposedly one family but the current of dividing lines is switched on
the liberty and freedom of every member, such fat **** sits upon.
