Best Veracity Poems
Why is there such disgustamacation..?
i seem to engender this inclination,
and..in complete disengenuation..!
all unaware in my preoccupations,
why "i am" so bemused.."
as my outflow's perused,
all in pursuit of your
satisfactamaction..!
Dear poetry soupers:) i did not use spellcheck on this piece "i know"

Falling darkness of feigning eyes
Upon orbs of virtue they arise,
Absconding the feigned
The righteous, reigned,
Palliative now malice
Grief now crystallized, callous,
Empowering construction
Of honor’s destruction,
The malicious address
O, their fallacy shall never impress,
Spirit of dishonor arrays
Their plague, fallacy displayed,
The truthful now berate
O, their spirit of faith,
Emerging nobility
Of awakening ability…

Let's say we have capitulated
yes, let's say we have succumbed
to their whimsical naivété and inane wisdom
Let us assume that it is all phoney
that it is a bogus hoax-filled folklore
We shall now pretend that we have been beguiled by such marvelous
exercise of ludicrous folly
Such bombardment of contorted philosophy
But in our gullibility we shall yet ask
in sheepish inquisition and meek certainty
if this course so pitiably slandered be nothing but deceit,
why then does it stand conspicuously so therapeutic?
why has it made men
who traversed through the impossible vortex of
reality's odd challenges?
why has it given Invigoration with hope
the haggard Destitute?
Why has it restored green to those fallen human twigs
Why has it steadied nerves and halted addictions?
Why has it healed the sick and made disappear tumults?
Why has it prognosticated that which we now perceive
Does nothingness do that
Does nothingness tender an insight so revealing,
So infinite.
Does nothingness and baseless belief
deliver from the vague labyrinth of man's ordination
if these be true
Who then doubt's the veracity
Why then disprove religion

Vivacious being
Lens of history
Pain to hope!

Tears form.
Transmogrify!
Restore inner peace -

Variance in His Veracity
Was a vivid variance in his veracity,
Controlled by capacity and tenacity;
When moving,
Was improving;
Appeared awkward with his audacity.

As blue cornflowers decorate each field giving hope in July.
Kings learn many new opportunities; probing questions;
real self-therapy; unblemished veracity with Xyris yearly zest.

The capacity
For much veracity
Should be within me.

Garishly gold pots of miser's old
Cut out's sold for dime and dollar
Nothing real gave out by the shcholar
God gave out such a roaring 'holler
Follow the heart's treasure
Give truth and love's pleasure
Cut to the chase and simply
Erase the rest, give God your love
And put your life to the test.

Veracity (story)
A horse galloped across a snowy field at the end of the pasture,
a fence jumped over a crazy gallop into the woods
came to a shuddering stop when meeting a moose
the moose charged the horse fled deeper into the woods were
the horse met a troll who took the animal into a cave and
served a bucket of hot chocolate drink
since the snow was deep that year, the troll also fitted the horse
with snowshoes and let it back to the field.
When the farmer came to the field and saw the shoes,
he had a nervous breakdown and was sent
to a clinic, where the doctors said it was all in his mind.
They wouldn’t let him free before he agreed
horses wear iron shoes and not snowshoes.
When he came back to the farm, the horse wore slippers.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear
Invaluable lessons will be on display for him to feel, see, and hear
Ali to Larry
Jordan to Kobe
If the student is willing, he will do the valiant work
He would rather not be the teacher; instead, he aims to show his worth
Picasso to Warhol
James to Michael____
Teacher to student
From shadow to lucent
Teacher to student
From unwise to prudent
A smart man studies and learns from the best
He knows and respects the work and readies himself for his test

Veracity is conformity to facts and accurate.
Trump before never possessed any veracity;
His mind and memory have limited capacity;
Lies poor;
Kept score,
And surely was seen without any sagacity.

Sacred communion,
taken in by mouth
and nose
and ear
and eye
and touch,
compassionately felt in community,
Becomes left-brain anxious about competitive totalitarian communism
while right-brain celebrating cooperative win/win Green Commons
of ancient reproductive health,
bilaterally twinned,
binomially intertwined,
bicamerally belonging
Yet longing not to become entirely ego-absorbed
without remaining cherished interdependent identity,
Part yet whole;
Whole yet apart
holonic
holy
whole Earth polypathic
polyphonic
polyculturally communal,
Left secularly invincible
either/or powers of resilient thinking
with sacred resonant Right
both cognitive and emotive
pre-visibly invisible,
pre-auditory pregnant silence.
Transparent wombing flexibility
mixed with absorbing love,
together breeding Integrity
Coming of age,
Going of non-change
Viral spirals
downward viciously viscous
and upward
virtuously visionary,
Outwardly
inward,
anxiously
ubiquitous,
competitively
cooperative.
Identity discovered through relationship,
nutrition recovered through nurturing nature,
culture uncovered through history,
theology covered through ecology,
Transcendent revolution through immanent evolution,
communal experience through communication,
secular thoughts through sacred apparitions,
motions through emotions,
Here through now,
Space through time,
Community through communion.

Political Verse
Lying to myself,
the truth broke free
Escaping prevarication
abandoning my schemes
The water got deep,
as the weight dragged and pulled
Until veracity returned
—resuscitation fulfilled

Rhyme
They gather about you
a clambering canaille
of fawning faces
Drunk on the illusion
of what they want
you to be
believe you to be
The superficiality
of contemporality
The fame eclipsing
the art
I stand distanced
from that fickle flock
Unacknowledged
Unnoticed
Unseen
It’s the truth of you
which I seek
The deeper spaces
Hidden away places
The flame that gives
life to the words
from a pen
Births princes, monsters
gods and mere men
Imbuing fantasy
with veracity
Is it the same fire
that burns within me?
