Best Unjustifiably Poems

God blesses us with angels
Not thinking of fluffy wings or mystical flying things
I'm thinking of those who help you beyond measure
The life changing, life saving acts each selfless soul brings

Could be that aunt who always highlights the positive side of chaos
Wanting you to see that...

Nigeria! Nigeria!! my beloved Nigeria
How you've suffered, how you've been rendered barren and useless
A country full of milk and honey
A country rich in people, culture and traditions
Gone were those days when you were the pride of Africa
Gone were those days that you were regarded as...

There was a time, when I felt totally undesirable
unjustifiably [I now know] and you being in your infancy
felt so.. un-understood, writhing in a man’s body, seemingly a child
with the heart of a warrior, a man, with all a man’s needs.

There was a time, when time...

Vicious and mean
Immoral intent
Loudly and impulsively
Expressed through

Wicked words
Offensive and ominous 
Repulsive in nature
Delivered and unjustifiably 
Spoken...

The hole- so wide and lonely,
Is so unjustifiably small,
I imagine her decay slowly...
The crowd weeps at the door,
But I must not cry-
I am the undertaker.

The service- monotone,
The crowds grieving groans,
The shovel makes my hands ache,
But my heart must not break-
For I am the undertaker.

The rain...

As far as I can see
Mindlessly
Been battling with sobriety

Extreme weather advisories
Over land or by the seas

Many multi-floored wineries
Producing product of the same or different varieties

Animals and humans living within or outside of societies
Where things may happen fairly or unjustifiably

World renowned notoriety
Obtained solo or through a...

I’d sit and say “son, it’s just you and me now kid
So if you enlist do you know what you will be warring for
HITLER tried to claim other’s land and sea
And that was the same thing we are doing now to set strangers free
But perhaps...

Better choose quick
Just might lose if
You don't do it

Awesome or a nuisance
It either was or wasn't in the blueprints
Still a loner, or already shot by Cupid's
Arrow, underneath a sky that is moonlit

They spread lies, but the truth is
Staying sharp or a doofus
Handy or useless
In a...

This a message to all so-called Americans, who are loudly chanting, "Death to America!"
Should be forced to leave America!  Either they are brain washed domestic terrorists
 or brain washed foreign terrorists, they should all be forced to leave America as
'persona non gratis', 'undesirable' and...

Not intentionally and beyond realization
with every subtle breath
I commenced to murder my soul
with acts that are unlike commonality
like a wielding knife
churning in the mid-section
of the human soul
the murder was intimate
and most un-endearing
as unsettling as it may seem
those behaviors and decisions that are made
unjustifiably contrary to...

Diabolique!

It's so tragic, in poetry!
There is no safe place to be.
Knives come at you with your
poetry, if political.

I do understand people 
now border on the hysterical.
Anyone on the right, in danger
of poetic execution.
Unjustifiably, diabolical!

But as in life, poetry is just
personal expression.
I wish it were not considered
a dance, so evil, one...

why 
why do I need to keep earning your trust
when you don't trust me?
why do i keep hiding myself from you 
when you can't accept me
all i want is to be comfortable in my own skin 
do my own thing
the words you say? my heart...
