Best Unprofitable Poems

The Air We Breathe

Whatever death hides in the dark forest?
The Man attentive to death-defying chances
with sinister low sweeping branches, strong
confused as to the hierarchical level
upon which their outreached strengths belong 
hurries along

Beautifully poisonous trees 
Gnarled treacherous roots designed to trip,
their sole grisly aim to thwart...

"The Odyssey of We are Centre"



Where does he come through 
with his fishing lines?
Casting off metaphors
worms of vitriol
hooked and dipped,
he’s so green backed  
rolling in grandiose 
self published flack
unhip and seasoned 
with his tart rye 
swallowed for kicks
pulling deep wisdom
from his shallow
back pocket where
he...

(As Galileo left the session of the Inquisition
at which he had been forced to deny his own
discovery that the earth orbited the sun, and
had to "admit" that the earth was static, he
murmured, "eppur si muove" ("but it moves").


It's hard to live in Lilliput, I find....

Altogether unprofitable sentimental but no fool they call him an old sap 		        The taste of knowledge to him is sweet to get more valuable than sap to a tree	   even more valuable than the gold...

Here’s the thing ... 
needful truth of an urgent matter
Humanity has a Rubik Cube ethnic pride problem:
Dark Age Crusaders of Hate
say the right color is on the genetic wrong side
of the racial debate Holy Grail divide

Here’s the rub ... 
a lad in a refugee camp,
holding...

Like his fathers before him, he was a tiller of the soil.
He loved the old farmstead that was built with sweat and toil.
He farmed with Clydesdale horse and cantankerous mules,
A sickle bladed mower, sulky plows and other John Deere tools.

He rose before the sun was...

Hello, I come to speak of peace,
The kind which saves the mind from deviation.
To give life to dead instincts,
For the lost throne belonging to black men is found.
Let the whole world come to hear this good news.
Look at me and tell about what I`m made...

When ruling orders are given,
subordinates must make it so
If they are evil decisions,
then lesser ranks should not yield their integrity
They should have enough moral fortitude to say no
A Jezebel justification
is an ancient war crime against humanity
A Nuremberg notation,
is it's modern day footnote in European history
If...

A worthless worm…writhing in wretchedness
Hell-bound creature because of iniquities
That was I: doomed to everlasting torment
Condemned to suffer forever…
Yet, God Almighty with His grace and compassion 
Reached down to me wondrously…
…He lifted me up from sins’ quagmire
Transforming my life miraculously;
Now, like a butterfly, peaceably beauteous
I’m freely...

Affection and solicitude
rises in my eyes,
shaped into tears
as fresh as dew,
she was first and new,

lays calm and motionless
touch lost, ways parted,
Best of moments passed
as a flash of light,
an absolutely unprofitable life,

Rosy cheeks,
glittery eyes,
knee long silky hair,
tall and perfect thin,
why lay quiet ?

Who provoked you ?
Why...

The man looked at the unprofitable world
  Then decided it was no place for him,
  Toughen up his mind to go, to a fool's paradise;
  Twined his neck in rope to heaven,
  Waving and twisting like a ripe calabash to get

I have lived a thousand lives
I have fallen but I rise.
I have seen what most cant bare
Many moments brought a scare.
I have swam in unprofitable waters
Watch predators destroy our daughters.
I have endured torrential rains
Filled with the innocence pain
I have walked amongst the dead
Broken from words...

Subtle ineffable feelings of affection and solicitude,
Amorous as like swallow's ,
Ephemeral and unavoidable,
Too much like water of deep stream.

Throwing myself into love like suicide into river,
You entered into my life like a miracle,
Like a misty rain that falls softly but floods the river,
As fresh as...

Life is too short for quarrels and fights,
Time passes fast, so do days and nights.
There is never a replay or a rewind,
So don’t leave any opportunities behind.

Time is racing faster than fast,
Soon you’ll reach your last.
So do all that you must,
Before you’re turned to dust.

Don’t...

Pessimism, I loathe your gloomy effect
Parroting vanity’s vexation in my mind that I’m unprofitable…
God I thank; by His strength* is great achievement as I do my utmost.

Negativism, I vanquish your vehement accusations
Taunting me of my failures, falls, and frustrations… 
I praise the Lord for His...
