What’s done is done As the chips fall And the die is cast Each of us Taking a part Donning a mask To play Our allotted role At each step The road forks With freedom and tyranny The choice to make And so we do Instinctively, habitually Compulsively or consciously A choice that’s always ours Whose world do you live in after all One inherited from deceivers Who apply bandaid visions To your mind Or...

So not funny
No so funny, man, Feeding me spam, Morbidly yours, all right, More verbs, how blight, Don't waste your words, You're beyond absurd, Negative chaff and chatter, Really does not matter, Get over yourself, Get off that shelf, Go get a life, Signed, your only wife! No one believes your spam, Morbidly yours, now scram! ...

Childhood Days
I reflect on our childhood days, Not such pure and perfect ways, Mother nagged us for so long, Her negative carp was very strong, When we kids reached our teens, That's when she got really mean, Endearing not, was the scene, Past of our family magazine, Now we look back and laugh, Turn the page on mother's chaff!...

I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. is winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn...

Early Poems Xiv
Early Poems XIV Am I by Michael R. Burch Am I inconsequential; do I matter not at all? Am I just a snowflake, to sparkle, then to fall? Am I only chaff? Of what use am I? Am I just a feeble flame, to flicker, then to die? Am I inadvertent? For what reason am I here? Am I just a ripple in a pool that once was clear? Am...

Lamet
Lamet! is what she hears first him, screaming her second name as he descends upon her no time to process gravity a thud, tearing her core to shavings Maiweeeee! She is puzzled. His baritone dropping the 'n' agitation a wooden scrabble. Nothing is left between her and Pee, not a grain all’s crushed smothering their screams interlocking their groans. He is a pawn, no saphead giving it to her, a pounding her splinters putting...

Chaff and the Vagabond
Loyalty brings even the fortified few to falter somnambulantly in succession As if tranced to commit, their convictions are true yet skewed The blind emotional outburst of bigotry and cynicism conveyed Is but a microcosm of what pain these individuals likely feel Something of an atrocity to be used and told when to kneel Although the accused has seen...

life lost hope lost loved ones die, bravery gets applauded cities shut down, the economy collapsed no food no work no cash stay home wear mask an effective vaccine, the miracle drug human contact, grandparents get a kiss love smiles hold hands tender hugs new year new hope yesterday's legacy, chaff in the wind forgotten miseries; stories lost to time a chance a prayer a dream...

Premium Member Separating the Wheat From the Chaff
Duality which is in motion must be stilled If we would observe singular reality within Muddied waters need to be distilled Only when the mists clear, may meditation begin Perpetual motion of body, senses & thought Grooves of habit having huge momentum Repressed subconscious fears & desires, which we forgot Are all our nemesis resident in the egos sanctum Without stopping...

Her Beauty Without Blemish
Beauty without blemish... This is a unusual behavioral response to this beauty mishmash... All along I've been in darkness...Not until her glowing splendor of beauty shone in my life with meekness... I could do anything to impress her... I knew you're for me Vanessa.. Your lips speaks a flamboyant melody to my ear.. How I wish u...

Chaff
Canine teeth that glimmer with the moonlights gaze Open mouthed to taste unsalted tears of dripping clouds Howls are gargled as they swallow the forlorn Straw men sit and sift the spaces that make their shifting frame Wheat whips splash across the backs as yelping oil dogs turn to puddles black Straw men slowly hack at chaff offspring that seem to laugh Obsidian flame burning in...

Premium Member Dont Be As Chaff
Don’t Be As Chaff Written: by Tom Wright 10-21-2016 It’s a stressful time frame in which we live, The world situation is making many sick. Heart’s filled with hate, little love to give, Surely God readies to come back quick. Protest and violence plague every land, And our cry continues for peace once more. While failing to adhere to God’s command, Earthly peace, we seek,...

Thrash the Grain Against the Chaff
O' master of my heart! Pray to thee Thrash the grain against the chaff This heart is sterile and barren like a babe has its partner but without being grave Let it have union with thee to create a zygot of virtuosity When the foetus is ready to move around the womb don't let it guard on its own since the soul on...
