Best Wrongs Poems

Jan 2015
2 wrongs
don’t make a right

Tit for tat
Chit for chat
Like for like
Spite for spite 

Yes and no
Friend and Foe
Black and white
Sugar and shite

Forward not back
Defend not attack
Forgive not forget
Learn not regret...

If your story
and history
or herstory,
is wrong,

If wrong is negative,
If right is positive,

When do two historic
two cultural
two personal
two political
two familial
wrongs make it right,
just as double negatives equal a positive?

Perhaps when this double-negative shy
not yang and not yin,
playing win/win games 
of Taoist paradox 
develops bilateral appositions, 
crown/root...

Rites and Wrongs  

This write suggests the search of many slants
Pursuing words of truth you hold most clear.
Stand sober toward the charlatans whose rants
Exact belief in those susceptible to fear.

Reflections on the tomes of writers past
Remark agendas with a want to bring
To light the...

A mistake does not make the person when the person makes a mistake

Someone can kill another, does not always make them a murderer

Anybody could rob another person, though it does not brand them a thief

Anybody can be accused for being in the wrong place at...

My sweetheart son
from grounding you
to scolding you
perhaps you are right
if you feel that
I was wrong
but there may come a day
when you perceive that
how all my wrongs then
made everything right for you
once you become a Dad 
of your baby
you shall realize that 
how blessed you are

God’s Love Keeps No Record of the Past!

I asked a brother if he would please forgive me.
I said; “I’m sorry!”  But he wouldn’t believe me.

Something happened, and he was “offended.”
He didn’t want our friendship to be amended.

I tried to share with him 1 Corinthians...

So I was in your mind today,
Then you all day stayed in mine
And nothing in there did dismay
My dream to make you once again
My beloved valentine....

Pretty freesias in my garden
oh what a stunning sight,
their scent is so alluring
with petals of pure white 

But glancing at my diary
it’s autumn and not spring,
I wonder if their appearance
is down to global warming

I’ve got freesias in flower they may look stunning but it’s totally...

Should I write in rhyming words
are you babies I should coo
and speak of love and little boats
of Dr. Zeus’s zoo.

Should I compose a sonnet sweet 
while prayerful folk are weeping
for war has come and killed their own
while their lulled hearts were dreaming?

Should I rave of...

God Forgives Us Of Our Wrongs!

God forgives us of our wrongs!
And he wants us all, to try and get along!

He gave us his word and instructions…
But, too often, we don’t seem to “function!”

Something done, or something said…
And it’s like some people, wish you were “dead.”

Even...

Two Wrongs
If I left you.
Would you miss me.
Would you dream of me.
And long to kiss me.
Ever wonder how things would be.
If there were No "you and me".
Cause I've been thinking.
Things just don't seem to be working.
Thoughts of infidelity just keep lurking.
First you did it, then...

How many times must we amend
The gruesome news of death again?
What venue will Fate next abase, 
some hapless, unsuspecting place?
Such acts still shake us to the core -
These senseless slaughters some ignore.
We're told that guns bought "legally"
Are nothing to condemn, you see.
Just guiltless children lying...
