Best Vilify Poems

...inspired by 'The Salamander' by C.S. Lewis
 
 
The sun bore down with blinding rays,
the oceans boiled and came to nought,
it was withal the end of days
with every living creature caught,
when from the rocks, agile, adept,
a tiny lizard meekly crept.
 
With roughened skin and beady...

My burdened country, tis of thee
Still beautiful are its halcyon skies
America! Free of woes we long to be.
God, shed Your grace upon blind eyes.
Unite us with love and brotherhood
Enlighten our hearts to do only good.

Make us torchbearers for a better life
to achieve all our hopes...

(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").

Never speak ill of the dead we’re constantly and solemnly
exhorted regardless of who they are or the life that
they freely chose to live, as they’re no longer
around, is the lame and unconvincing excuse
that’s often and dishonestly given in explanation, to rebut or
defend their...

THE FALL OF THE WHITE ELEPHANT’S CAN’T FAIL IDEA

No self-respecting politician wanted to drink from that well
the self-inflicted delusion persisted for the faithful
they were shocked but not surprise when they learned
the head elephant had walked away with much cash

But his larcenous ways landed him in...

Invictive
Licentious Offense   -  Vilify Emotions
Yielded Offer Unveiled 
Becoming Ugly Theatrics
In Contentious Another New Terrible
Humorous Accusation -  Violent Explosion!
Yelling out!  -  Understood.

Intruding
Losing over violent escapes
You’re often unavailable
Because unappreciative Terror
I could ask nefarious timing
How addictively vicious – enticing

Fool’s Quest
By Mark Spencer


We all wish to be accepted
For what we say and do.
But if we overstep our bounds
We should receive our due.

For if we must invade the space,
Of someone’s comfort zone,
Should they respect the space of those
Who don’t respect their own?

But that’s what some...

How hard it is to follow the “Golden Rule”?
In most of our everyday cases
It is not that difficult
We try to treat people as we would like to be treated
We are mostly pleasant in our daily encounters
But Jesus asks so much more of us
Does Jesus really...

Beware of pirates without a ship
like rebels without a transportive WinWin cooperative cause,
like ego-politicians without sacred ecological-economic portfolios.

One of the ways we communicate cooperative values
and choose not to communicate disvalues
is by how and where and when
we show up
and disappear into silence;
and when and where and...

In the midst of the raging waves,
they watched her gulp the callous cunning darts.
Her crumbly heart cruelly impaled; the fate that enslaves.
So fondly she’d mask the marks.
Her soul would ache and bleed from life’s glaives.
She cried an ocean for redemption from a life perpetually stark.
In...

I would not speak these evil dilemmas,
devilish details,
dissonant fissures
disrupting smooth told sails
toward western red sunset horizons.
 
Who remains to listen
to remaining problems of evil?
to why and wherefore
of constitutions measured and cut through slavery
metered and sliced into commodities
for vote-inducing domestication,
to assure health and secure prosperity
evolving melting...

Fields where the bondman’s toil
No more shall trench the soil,
Seem now to bask in a serener day;
The meadow-birds sing sweeter, and the airs 
Of heaven with more caressing softness play,
Welcoming man to liberty like theirs.
A glory clothes the land from sea to sea,
For the great...

Why are you so focused
on my little tiny failures
not on my overall grand success
every time I stumble
you seem to drag me down
with all your words of aspersion
I just slide further down
you criticize and vilify
as I attempt to overcome
every minuscule failure

As I see, every mark
adds color...
