By Rights Poems | Examples


The Influencer

Crazy dreams cryptic holidays 
Living floating above
It's a carpet or a rug

Living to forge forgetting to follow
But look in the streets
Love is still a companion
 
How do you find 
Something you don't seek

Alice was a killer and as stoned as a pillar
I saw her I's right in the nav of her middle
Back with Jack
Follow the leaders but don't forget 
To jump off the path

Where can we go 
We all get 2 feet
Don't forget the influence er 
Armed with a bat
Take it personal 
Be the decision army

They say poets can be whiners
They say challenge doesn't turn panic into a disaster

There were bands I grew up with that I will cherish forever
But it was the love of nature 
Always be the biggest thing to me

Never ask why
I is likened to asking someone to love you
I saw you in a basket full of dreams
They say don't do it 
I say that's a good reason to

Forget to guard your heart
Make it a sport 
Count the alpha-bet back to worlds
You own by rights 
You are the only one
You still hit zero before once in a lifetime

Make it a habit
Change their opinion
Or at least
Follow the rabbit

Premium Member Fifty Years Ago Today - 1973

Fifty years ago today
     an attack was well underway
     On Yom Kippur, October 6
       Israel was in a fix

     Egypt had invaded the Sinai
     Syrians climbed down the Golan Heights
     Arabs sought to recapture land
       which they regarded as theirs 'by rights'

     Three weeks later, Israel was up off her heels
     at the gates of Cairo and Damascus
     troops ready to seal the deal

     But the US said No! Israel had to go
     back to the preexisting status quo

     2,400 died in defense of their nation
     as Israel began to grow impatient
     with their supposed Allies in the West

     When on your holiest day, your enemies attack
     Why should you give what you captured back



     ______________________________________
     The 2,412 soldiers who died comprised 1% of
     Israel's Jewish population in 1973. A comparable
     figure would be 300,000 American soldiers dying
     in a four-week war in 1973.


Resignation

Resignation 

Dignity and courage defined by undeniable morality.
Integrity shown vividly within kindness. 
Positive optimism outlooks mold cherish-able characteristics. 
Resolved decorums cloak an image. 
Traits one portrays internally. 
Dumbfounded by social interactions extended more so throughout humanities entirety. 
Lost by rights as wrongs pollute rights. 
Tongue tied by disassociation; festering. 
Hope resonates.
Life gets in the way. 
People penetrate.
Misunderstood man makes judgmental mistakes. 

Pity
Acceptance
Worry 
Contemplation
Self doubt 
Misunderstanding 
Seclusion 
Passive regrets

Hope

Resignation

Premium Member A Weak State of Affairs

The people of the state oppressed 
should have a referdum by rights 
God given unto them by speech 
words draws the sword 
To back anything worth considering 
on this issue with the pros and cons 
highlighted truth a must 
Leaving nowhere for a reason to worry 
exposing side affects 
unto the genetic code nothing hidden 
as this is an elitist group 
Formed by bankers funding 
Trying to muscle into world trade 
with gmo foods and steroid filled beef 
with ill regards to human fatalities 
as money is the only agenda 
That knows no status or good will 
on the table that drives their engine forward 
before health is taken into consideration

Premium Member Villanelle: Only In Democracies Reigns Surprise

Villanelle: Only in democracies reigns surprise

Only in democracies reigns surprise
The majority cast their franchised rights
Elect CEOs who tell fat cat lies

In dictatorships the leader is wise
He elects himself and appoints his mites
Only in democracies reigns surprise

On election day leaders on the rise
By the hundredth day majority fights
Elect CEOs who tell fat cat lies

By end of first term majority dies
Wonders how they kept the leader uprights
Only in democracies reigns surprise

By start of second term the voter cries
Give us our oligarchy by rights
Elect CEOs who tell fat cat lies

In dictatorships people march in files
To show they don’t much care about rights
Only in democracies reigns surprise
Elect CEOs who tell fat cat lies.

Shogun Series Collab Bills Side 10

(Cont) Bill rapped twice on Lt. Griggs' office door. “It’s open!  
Well if it isn’t Sgt. Bill Lipton. Come in, close the door and 
take a seat. 
I guess you heard there’s a vigilante on the loose.” Bill was 
feeling a bit uncomfortable. He knew by rights he shouldn’t
have messed with thecase without the Lt’s permission. 
“Seems you and thetwenty first already had a run in with him.” 
“Yes sir. I kinda got caught up.. Uh ..in,,,”
“Never mind that. I don’t want to hear your excuses. It might 
not coincide with what I heard and then you’d be in trouble. 
Look Sgt. Lipton, you been on the force here three years as a 
detective and you’ve already got a hell of a good crime solving
record  in the works. Don’t blow it now because of some silly 
mishandling of the regulations. I Knowsome of those rules are 
chicken crap when it comes to enforcing the law, 
but we’ve got to play by the book, get it?
“Yes sir ..I ..” 

(continued on Bill's side 11 shogun series)

she will burn the earth
a scare not to been seen
and one for all to see
a terror a tyrant
not decaying flash
shell feed her servants
a madussa by rights
horror and fear
plight an terror

strife and death
lust and hate
on faith place
he's rule coming to an end
two beasts death throw
leaving history

with yesterday in eye
and tomorrow hear
the blue take shape
no hands remove the vail
love and courage
peace and death
