Best Unlearned Poems

Oh my God the geese!

Standing in my yard
while wave after wave of them
fly over the roof of the house
from the NW to the SE.

Each wave ebbs and flows,
the geese almost exactly the same distance apart
the V is straight and they fly strong.

And the ruckus!

Talking and...

UNLEARNED LITERACY!
  -Dharga Nagar Safa

My mother is old but with a good vision,

She reads papers and writes with a pen in a fashion,

She was counted  a LITERATE in all desks,

She didn't  learn computer literacy and away from the computer discs,

What does she...

I knew it from the very beginning
Loving you was a mistake
And so I learned something new
Not to love someone like you.

But like lessons learned in school
Sometimes we forget
That's why until now
I still do the same mistakes....

The further I go
The worse I get
At what I do
And what I let

Destroy my peace
And set me back
Defining well
The things I lack

You'd think I'd learn
You'd think I'd see
The damage done
By being me

The trail of tears
The bridges burned
So many lessons
Left unlearned...

The Empty Scrolls of Time: A lament for the Unlearned
(The boy who regrets not valuing education)
~Jamuel Yaw Asare 

Kofi’s eyes once gleamed with mischief and wonder, but now they dimly reflect the what-ifs and if-onlys that haunt him. He wanders through days like a traveler...

My mind is void and compelled by echoes vibrating space between amidst and within boundaries of walls keeping what's out from in and what's in is imprisoned by liberties bell ringing again. Decieved into freedom by liberating powers taking power again. Independent from what is...

Emotions are small. 
Emotions are still. 
Or so I’ve learned as a matter of will. 

Because when emotions were tall
When I gave it all and had my fill
The highs and lows burned; so quiet emotion became my skill. 

I learned restraint and guard 
Learned to...

Manipulating reality,
  the moment concealed

Manipulating reality,
  what’s virtual ‘real’

Manipulating reality,
  the keys push and drain

Manipulating reality,
  technology reigns

Manipulating reality,
  fantasy schools

Manipulating reality,
  apostasy rules

Manipulating reality
  all cursors and screens

Manipulating reality,
  lost memory undreamed

Manipulating reality,
  electrons control

Manipulating...

Unlearned and ignorant,
Mere nobodies,
Just fishermen,
Inferior mortals,
Far below
Proud priest and Pharisee and scribe.

For such to preach or teach
Within those holy temple walls
Was tantamount to blasphemy –
Just like that other man from Galilee.

No problem that
For two apostles bold,
Fresh-fired by God
To minister his mighty word
And heal a cripple...

Although your both gone
Yours souls out of sight
This path that i've taken
It doesn't seem right.

What would you have said?
Are you watching above?
These memories are fading
Reach out for my love.

I sit there in silence
The sounds are quite real
My pulse won't stop racing
The chill i can feel.

What...

“Like most love stories,
this one began in utter foolishness.”

Against all odds and possibility.

Gilded sunsets
exquisite dawns
luminous tomorrows . . .

Promises.

And betrayal.

Looking into his eyes,
she saw reflected back
a perfect illusion of himself.

That absolute blue
like azure seas
fathomless depth and
simplicity.

On the horizon she saw unending
empty lifetimes reaching
for eternity.

He knew.
Their...

Won't get back up.
I'm done learning how to fall.
All this being overlooked.
Has made me feel so small.

It's my own fault.
No longer breathe a word.
Silence speaks the loudest.
All else goes unheard.

It's only human.
To Temper our fragility.
Beating each other to death.
To prove invulnerability.

It's so easy.
Dont allow the...

A touch of red
A lake of blue, mystic calmness
Her psychic powers hidden from the unlearned.

Opening the aliens' orb would not be easily done.
Many could not fathom or see what she was about.
Her own relatives rolled their uncomfortable eyes.

It was right in front of them
Yet their...
