Best Victories Poems

We get so warped out by fear at times
That we forget to celebrate our little victories every day
Looking back; none of us can say we haven't walked through a storm
Yet, we are still here
Some tattered, emotionally crippled
Not talking about our silent battles

But let me applaud...

The problem of military reactions
to territorial control issues
is not merely that violence breeds further strategic development
of violence,
although this is no small,
nor amoral, 
concern.

This primal problem of militarism by historic default
is that it is an intrinsically violent chapter
in the Big RedBook of Capitalism,
rooted in God created...

The city moves and laughs and sings
Of lurid lights and fancy things 
Of static electricity 
And many opportunities 

The acid clouds are dismal gray 
Leave not a single trace of day 
Wind withers and regains its speed
A buried, lonely poplar seed 

But while the city...

BEAUTIFUL VICTORIES---


Something coming over me
A continued victory
Blinded eyes open, now I see
This sweet victory

Gracious going free
My heart is open merrily
Seeking ever pretenses journeys
This pleasant victory
I thank my God for these beautiful
Beautiful victories

The small victories...
As the small goals are etched,
The bigger picture clearly flourishes,
Piece by piece we see it stick, 
The reaping of the seeds as some may call it.

The world begins to thwart away,
at the unstable courage you now have 
Of A dream; the first step...

Scars been stricken on their face
The game is called, the green is dressed,
They shout, insult, drink and curse
(no rhyme of course, and seldom versed!)

We’re the blowing hooligans of the side
Swift and smooth as Jell-O Bratwurst,
Soccer warriors admiring the slide.
No matter who has lost or won.

Don’t...

from behind a window
that leads to my balcony
I observe the sunbird retire 
to its beautiful and cozy nest

a gentle, elixirous breeze
seductive and enchanting
beseeches that I step outside
to admire a lustrous full moon

it’s a temptation I decline
for how can I be so callous
to cause a tremor...

Thousands martyred 
    in 
wars
    which continue to 
plague mankind 
   Thousands - sometimes millions 
Do you really believe you 
    can stop that with your poems?
All poets out there 
   in...

you heal our heart
you heal our soul
you raise us up 
you make us whole
thank you for all you've done
thank you for the victories you've won

you give us strength
and sound mind
the greatest love we can ever find
than you for all you've done
thank you for the victories...

We need war but not with people
We need to war those who steer war.
We must sort but not of nation
We must sort out those who sort us.
And say we are not your lambs now!
And shout Kingdoms are made by Victories!

We must learn to fly flags...

At Austerlitz I two nations vanquished;
making me historically distinguished.
At Marengo I had Austria subdued;
then I was to honour undoubtedly glued.
At the Pyramids, Mamluks kissed the sands;
then like a French Pharaoh I annexed their lands.
At Jena-Auerstadt, Prussia to her knees fell,
to avoid carnage, and possibly hell.
At...

Parental labor days and nights,
memories and contemporary echoing traumas
of declaring Hippocratic Commitment victories,
"No one got much hurt today,"

"Non-violent communication" prevails,
verbally and non-verbally laborious,
locally and globally viral,
monoculturally and multiculturally,
on our best days,

But "not violent" is such a negative
empty
cold
humorless LeftBrain way
to say,
to communicate,
resiliently resonant communion's
articulating
heart-felt possibilities.

We have...

Why must diverse native cultures clash
Like titans in the arenas of yesteryear,
Lessons of the past centuries unlearned
While unthinkable horrors, senseless wars,
Continue unabated to devastate the weak
While the strong greedily abscond proudly,
Claiming a hollow victory at the expense
Of humanity and her promise of plenty.

Onward to further victories, 
In the works of the Church; 
Despite the scorn of enemies, 
Invite those who search.

In the works of the Church, 
Keep proclaiming the faith; 
Invite those who search, 
Don't delay, don't be late.

Keep proclaiming the faith, 
In spite of persecution; 
Don't...

People still talk about war and peace, 
But time’s come to talk of war and piece,
To pieces that turns life,
To shambles, utter strife,
And still, would war mania ever cease?
