Best Unseated Poems

Love, why do you keep treating me so badly?
You steal my heart and make me act madly.
I feel you in every music playing in my head,
You echo in every wise words I have never said.
Will you keep quiet and let me reason
or you will keep...

Idealism gone. Work ethic deleted
No concept of service. Patriotism defeated
Continual bulls**t. Same mistakes repeated
Undermine the people. Honesty unseated
More concerned with his wallet than the poor
Believes he’s owed a king’s lifestyle and more
Allowing terrorists inside our shore
Never attempting to do what he is paid for
Taking from...

Excitedly we travelled to the fair.
   As fragrant scents of flowers filled the air.
   Dawns gift of light showing sights enthralling.
   Dewdrops mirror, broken pearlstrings falling.
   Sunshine kisses earth, with warm caresses.
   Springtimes meadows wearing...

A righteous pillage, your justified prize. 
Indignation, winning, all you can see.
If freedom melts away before your eyes
Then you assume it was not meant to be.

A system designed to thwart corruption.
A sacred tree bearing freedom’s flower.
Yet we fall for the tawdry seduction.
A nation of whores,...

Choking Back The Tears!

This papa did accurately
surmise undeclared war
strong armed lance pierced my armour,
ah...how fondly he recalls
early fatherhood days of yore,
when daddy's first born girl

did effusively adore
yours truly, he likened self as topnotch
trooper, who mustered vigour
exhibiting untrammeled unconditional
tender loving behaviour
before conflict erupted as between

mainland China...

She was there for me when I came of age,
but when, for a girl of unlocked doors and 
a missing father. in flight down the stairs,
an intruder pursuing, no dagger in the chamber 
of non-connubial rights. "Bad dream," she said, 
when summoned home from a...

An envoy sent to foreign land
pride dismissed cup in hand
to cross the sea at pessidons mercy
before a queen he must curtsey
Help us please defend our honor
without you help we are a goner
the dogs of war are at our gate
we do not know our final fate
our...

In his cowboy outfit, young Danny was eloquently clad.
He'd never been throwed from his rockin' horse as a tad!
He aspired to be a cowboy and eventually got his chance,
But soon learned that cowboyin' wasn't all fun and romance!

The first thing he had to do was...

At the kitchen table
Sat still like stone statues – petrified.
A sick game of musical chairs
Sat waiting for the muted music to play again.
Saplings uprooted early; replanted in rows
seated in toxic soil – a stunted growth.
Wooden faces: no smiles or frowns.
Emotions set in stone from eyes...

Wooden guardians part reluctantly,
Their threats feeble against my entry.
The gloom adjusts itself in the warm light from outside.

Cold steam billows
Where incense rose and inspired.
Wooden benches,
Unseated,
Apprehend the emptiness.

Old blessings echo off the walls and fall on to cracked tiles.
All around the cracked altar swirl spirits
Invoked in...

Brexit Sonnet No.20
‘No More Hell-Broth’
 

Our Brexit bringers are cross with their leader ‘tis said,
Confidence lost with their gabardine dream of last year.
The model’s moved on, but distress on how they are led
Is causing them angst, with some pain; even fear.
Kindness is due to the...

Behold the Pied Piper has tossed his pipe belatedly in the trash
   Having led folks down some garden paths he trousered wads of cash
Dollars, pounds, euros, rolls of wallpaper - the currency didn’t matter
   He gathered countless cretins, enchanted by piffle...

Embroidery whose titan never gets credit
An empire whose founder is long forgotten
And exists only as an adage, whose tale relives
Long forgotten history
History that ministered hope to those dimming out
Shone paths to those whose itinerary was threatened by
Dark dusks and cloudy daytimes
A magnate whose reputation was...

The man who wanted to be Emperor 

He was (is) a great president of his country, the two
presidents before him had nearly destroyed the country
one for being naïve, the other for a hopeless drunk.
The state was nearly in a state of collapse, thanks
to the kleptocracy...

Dark is the night and full of terrors
The dark powers that leads to war
And the fireball is strangled beneath 
the horizon

The universe slowly loses it’s 
candescence
The sky is set aglow with dimmed 
lights from littered stars

But the night-lamp gift to a world 
so dark is...
