Best Yardstick Poems

Just An Old Man

Just an old man I came to know
his mind still busy, feet were slow.
Tired feet lounged in old, worn shoes
he had lived, lived and paid his dues!

An old man, one I always loved
one who taught me to fight when shoved.
Showed me to...

Time
Nothingness in it belies
A continuum, uncanny
In all lives it defines
Love, hate, rage and litany

A motion on its own
Sweeping, inescapable
A yardstick mankind bemoans
Perpetual journey, irreversible

It’s life’s anathema
Yet it counts life
It’s a thing of enigma
That heaven had contrived

To it the mind ascribes
Its values and permanence
From these, it...

Contrary to popular myth, Einstein did NOT reject the existence of Time, but he did reject the differences of its elements, stating that "the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion" ...


TIME ...

Is a phantom with many faces
It drifts, a...

If man is the measure of all,
Our world immediately shrinks.
There can be no moral compass
Just the yardstick of failure and success
Drunkenly refracted by o'er heated ambition
Or chilling revenge
Without the overarching Architect,
The Prime Mover that once was.

Man lives in a festering swamp
Where reason plays handmaiden to...

WAR
Senseless killings
Barbaric and animalistic desires
Necrophilia and sadomasochism
Blinded by nationalistic pride
All out war
So babies have no where to hide
Drone attacks on hospitals and nurseries 
They bury their corpses
In cheap boxes
Bombs and guided missiles
Strike targets from the sky
The innocent are murdered
So I ask why 
Technology is pushed...

Impact Your World!

World gives birth to worlds
Planet interacting with other planets
Knowledge acquisition that makes no impact
Is like a stagnant water that will soon be full of shits
Impact your world!

Many talents lying unused
 I can do this , do that , yet no action
Living in isolation,...

That’s what she calls herself
who boasts of the longest reigning monarchy in the world,
producing a short of one to twenty Nobel Prize winners
as only two colleagues beat her to global wealth.

Her buttocks sit on the red hot coal
of the deadly pacific ring of fire.
Her cultural...

Knocking on success’ door, irrespective of its intensity
is worthy of a response and an attention.
When life smiles and nature is happy, the one who passes their estate
is embraced by favour to take luck home.
Showcased by a tale 
of two counterparts of same platform but different...

The constitution of ‘behind closed doors’ has been ripped apart
wild and adventurous, the silent additions to personalities
while morality is shredded in the offices of humanistic views
giving character an explosiveness 
for goodness to break the boundaries of its definition.

Exposure of flesh in the industry of sex...

Stolen golden treasure chest
Dead man lying on his chest
Discarded like garbage
Because we act like we all savage
Eaten by vultures
As greed transcends cultures
Lying gypsies 
False omens like eclipses
Fake prophecies
They packed their bags for those ill fated odysseys 
Yardstick to success is how much property we hold
We...

The world where once I was born has changed a lot;
Some people may believe it, and others may not.
In the world today, each and every day just to survive, we need to fight;
While fighting, we are forgetting what is wrong and what is right.
Peaceful religions...

Those trademark circular elements of style in vogue every four years
When the crème de la crème of the athleticism 
presents itself on the world stage
Suspending and transcending any present day internecine conflict
Allowing, enabling, and proffering the five continents 
And gathering of top-notch mental, physical and...

So much money isn’t necessary, yes! It isn’t necessary
to live a life of luxury and sophistication.
Enjoying the simple things, each and every one of them
with contentment, patience and discipline
gives advancement a cameo appearance in simplicity’s show.

A fleet of cars isn’t needed, no! It isn’t needed
to...

Several years ago today
They reckoned me unbefitting for their ears
Per the yardstick of the day
Their percipience was disparaging
But still I rose

By their clairvoyance I was infecund
Plainly no reason to cogitate about me
For they could not glimpse any merit in me
Fate was for me to be...

Leather, rubber, PVC 
Synched waists, stiletto heels 
Chicken cutlets shoved in bras 
Body stocking, pantyhose 

Sitting around, TV on 
Laptops open 
Googling... 
Waiting 

For a sleaze bag 
To book a session 
Half hour, maybe more 
Fingers crossed 

The bell rings 
Door’s buzzed open 
Short, fat,...
