Best Trustees Poems

Injustice is just an inconvenience until it is proven...
When the sun hit their helmets it startled the very souls of the natives
a signal upon their eyes that spoke like a siren of ill prophecy to the bone,
the armaments of a hell that hushed any hope...

This world, never ours alone, but shared with other creatures great and small.
The Earth turns and new dawn comes, and will long after we're gone.
A Sandpiper flitted along the shore and told me so.   

We must face a truth that we borrowed these...

Golden soft was the light that swiftly flew, 
As whistling rain pelted majestic oaks. 
And the soaked birds began to cry for you 
As Nature silently wrapped up its cloaks. 

Thirsty for coming dawn, so bold and new. 

Silver Maples fluttered in the wind, 
Where...

The arrogance of humanity
Insists some piece of it we own,
But fragile Earth on which we tread,
God gives us only as a loan.
As we impose our footprints here
May lovely blossoms show our path.
No poisons nor impurities.
Just sweet rainwater as Earth's bath.
To generations handed down
As perfect as...

We will be the trustees of life's passions...
The villas of villainous Rome are burning behind me
from Capua to the Cisalpine Alps the skyline is smoldering from her savage sins,
monuments of luxury built, furnished,  and sustained by generations of misery
crumbling in the aftermath of egalitarian...

Though the arrogance of humanity
Insists some part of it we own,
Fragile Earth on which we stand
Is given to us as a loan.
As we impose our footprints here,
May lovely blossoms show our path.
No poisons or impurities,
Just sweet rainwater for her bath.
In robust numbers we shall march
Against...

Gentlemen,  behold, the wild yet curious Laurentia, an unexplored beauty,
Welcome to Utica, Latifundium Africanus Magnus
I am Titus, the overseer of this plantation wherein sweat will pay and you will stay
learn your tasks as a shadow learns it's body and thus shun duress,
and don't believe...

I love the browns in Tahoe’s nature,
I cry from the beauty in each acre …. 

I have seen many parts of America, 
savored each region’s unique flavor,
yet I am now a mute and awed appraiser.
In Tahoe, nature and enchantment neighbor.
Deep inside me, emotional tribute waves
gather,...

My wrath, O Allah, I do so swear, is not the aftermath of my bad temper
It’s my long shout of forsaken patriotism
It’s my suffering for the cradle of our fathers
It’s a breath to revivify my slumbering 
       Countrymen 
Who...

to a steadfast adherence of walking uprightness
showing the way to an unfailing trustworthiness
in the great mind of Chastity

 English quintain 

I’m leaving, going far away
and when I’m through, I will return.
But meanwhile, mind my vineyard, stay.
I’m staking out a risk to earn;
It is for you, to try and learn.

I lease to you my private land
which I have hedged. I’ve built a tow’r
so...

I am looking for work, I am willing and able;
I can do more than set the kitchen table.
I can cook and I do clean, and I'm very sincere;
I should have been voted mother of the year.
I am honest and charming and full of wit;
On the...

Charlie was dead

Charlie was dead: to begin with,
There is no doubt whatever about that.
I leave my residue to Carol for Christmas
and Little Dorrit his faithful Tom Cat.

There’s been hard times here in Bleak House,
Villainy and miserly crime capers,
I spent my fortune in shops of curiosity,
Pickwick...

The river boils and burns
Churning the soil downriver
Silencing the calm quiver
Halting the anaesthetic shiver
This fissure in the earth was the sliver of hope in this dearth
A cool spring, the fuel to my being
The Sun has set, lending its light for a little while
And like the...

We are our brother’s keepers
for this duty we came into the world
how else can we thank our Creator;
for the  life we never applied for!

The wealth we have with us
natural talents endowed to each one
we use as custodians and trustees
to serve fellow men without bias

Great...
