Best Walk On By Poems


Premium Member Walk On By

Anguished stares and pleading eyes,
beg for food with empty bowls.
For abject poverty thrives,
where death stalks forgotten souls.

Foul odors cling to the air;
as hunger unsheathes its claws.
And the pain is hard to bear;
when starvation bites and gnaws.

Bellies growl at passersby,
while cripples are forced to crawl.
But hard hearts ignore their cry;
as the weak stumble and fall.

At night, alone with their fears,
sleep morphs into nightmare screams.
For gaunt faces etched with tears;
find no happiness in dreams.

Their treatment is inhumane;
yet people just walk on by.
And subjected to disdain;
these beggars are left to die.

Walk On By

life passes by
changes quickly like 
the green grass
and passes like 
a fading shadow

Walk On By...

The contradiction of sight to thought
In a vision that exist in the mysterious realms of time, the search continues
The questions raised in my next breath, the answers pursued in the thereafter.
A hand placed on the shoulder of the chosen
Response to responsibility, I embrace the day with a smile

The Bridge…
The challenges are pre-existent in the nature of nurtured souls trained to love yet taught to 
hate; 
If the thirst of knowledge does not drive the understanding the purpose is lost.
I’m drawn, intrigued by what is to come, no evil to end yet Heaven holds the promise 
everlasting.
The lighted path secures my footsteps
And wisdom?
Leave it for others to judge and one day understand.
The wise will never pause to understand wisdom yet the norm pauses to question it, 
arrogantly.
Walk on by…
Torment fuels the seven deadly.
The lack of, the wasteful abundance of…
How do I cry and show my strength to the vindictive? Should I wait for them?
And love?
“Those nails in your hands must have hurt terribly”.
A hand placed on the shoulder of the chosen.
Response to responsibility, I embrace each day with a smile.

The Connection…
A grain of sand given time and time again, so gracious as a knock at the door
My mind moves meticulously as I paint this picture.
The world continues to change yet the challenge is in the consistence of time,
Every second is born anew yet dies alike.  What we do with that second defines who we are.
Today I will rise and rest like my father, and love again tomorrow.
A hand placed on the shoulder of the chosen
Response to responsibility, I embrace this day with a smile…

Light of life is felt and all the rest many tests touch the good better best to feel the warmth inside the touch with the hands lifted rising up lifting up looking up above the hill for the help eyes straight ahead can feel the change of the winds that blow in the breeze this world climax all the emotions to bring a reward of sunshine bliss upon a head to smile even walking on the highest mountain cliffs peak valleys low tops does reveal the hidden jewels the hidden glow within the hurtful soul what is to be or not to be is really up to thee the questions will remain even ultimately to test time will be to escort you to the future from the past as we bow our knees in prayer and realize that the past is gone been lived it is felt but this doesn't worry the soul for life will run its course and take care of itself with or without worry! To be recorded in the truth books of time the true story of the universe still remains to be brought to light the true mysteries of night flight books of the ancient fights in words mysteries do unfold and do give true light somewhere hidden in the soulful flight of soul love fight sublime the mystery shines brightly inside the mind what was fought in the heart has told a bloody story is felt from the sky from the clouds from the stars from the heavens from the earth above the tatters soul of doubt it is felt in the light the bloody fight.
Light of life  
When you are so in touch with a scene or scenery shadows come!
Let the light shine in darkness so all can see to share  the story gladly completely fearlessly accept everything must change though you may feel the birth pains of a new day rising upon the hill and the pain hurts so bad
and the walk hurts so bad and the tears flow the birth pain has banned with the hurt inside the secret veil walk through the valley of this pain just walkthrough
the shadow of death fear no evil walk and walk and walk through your fears your rejections in great numbers! For the light shines in the darkness
When darkness sees the light
Then it will say bye-bye baby bye-bye!
Gone! It is Felt!

Walk on by
The park
Walk on by
The house of God
Walk on by
The bookstore
Walk on by
The road to success
Walk on by
The road to freedom
Because it is available
To anyone that wants it

So if I 
Walked on by
Where you 
Were standing
Would you
Curse me too
