No matter how a smart man your wits frown,
A woman may dare enslave your gold crown;
If she succeed once at it,
Forget not condoning sh*t...
For its recurrent chance stakes high not down.
Neither unhelpfulness nor a low of zest for life
could lift me from the deep abyss I had fallen into,
countless failures added more gloom to strife;
nobody applauded me, all I head was a big boo!
When misfortunes or pitfalls mark one's fate, despair sets in
to deplore an unforgiving derision echoing with contempt
in a hall of laughter and shameful words of undeserving scorn;
lowering your head in shame is admitting and condoning guilt!
Who's afflicted by unfairness often chooses not to fight,
but having been deprived of nurturable inner strength
any loss of this virtue can cause a devastating blight
of anxieties', fears, and regrets void of moral worth!
Be persistent and unyielding, ditch all pitiful discouragement,
it's the unfaltering way to conquer any shadow of lingering doubt
and fend off an unforgiving derision that bruised soul and mind;
Is there an expectation to live life fully? Let yours be a perfect bind!
Pierced through the apex
Emotion motioned to motive
Aligned with hate
the virtue of anger
condoning the blatancy of a shelly fate.

As God hath forgiven, HE commands of us the same,
So as we learn to be responsible, we become forgiving.
Our safety net's gone and there's none else to blame,
Without God's forgiveness, we're existing, not living.
Not forgiving is Satan's tool, always used to distract,
And thoughts of retribution from within oft springs.
In forgiving the person we're not condoning their act,
Prayer fetches us beyond life's most hurtful things.
Ephesians 4:32 KJV
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake
hath forgiven you.

____________________________________________
Am I condoning a state of affluence?
In recent desultory decadence
Have I drawn a swan dive of choice?
Don't you hear your mom clamoring?
Don't you grasp her voice?
Backward between and beyond riverstone?
Holler—herald hidden phylum, hunt voice
of failed fulfillments
The hind hock hoof is hermitic.
With any accismus to anthropomorphize beasts
Winter wolf moon wakes up her litter
for sustenance, the man in me would slaughter
the wolf.
Tracks—that permeate darkness
their compulsory murder. Everyone needs
a meal
drifted and whistled from hair to heel,
things outside seem odd, ghostly, surreal.
Amid snow—hooves slowed to soak in
across the waves—why my soul seeped
a sailor has been seen dozing off
whilst the riverside weeps
trust—my footprints feature
fear—cynicism.
What lovely lies,
What harsh goodbyes,
You owe nothing,
But yet they beg for just one something,
Faced with despair,
Let faith prosper,
Failure is not an option,
In two days you may be homebound
But it's been fourteen since silence and no sound,
In the mind you may be tired,
We have been up fired,
There is no expectations,
And all we have left is imagination,
Thoughts and creations,
Hoarding relations,
It is cruel,
But what to do when there really are no rules,
Lier, lier, hold no power,
To you it means nothing,
To others it's meant to be understanding,
That no words can compare to the actions you are condoning,
Just say it out, the silence,
feels like it's turning to violence,
Hatred is beginning,
As love is diminishing,
But they still hold on,
They try to stay strong,
Ode to being home bound.
sans condoning or condemning ~ i stroll past the mother of all lines
Global warming leads to climate change;
that's why the weather is acting strange.
Pollution and deforestation;
now affect every single nation.
Feels like the planet's overcrowded;
people are scared; their judgment clouded.
Xenophobia is on the rise;
as folks harbor hatred in their eyes.
Everyone, it seems, is filled with rage;
we're behaving like rats in a cage.
Passive-aggressive is the new fad;
dealing with cell phone Karens; how sad.
Free speech fuels the spreading of hate;
condoning violence as of late.
And yet, we cannot abandon hope,
we'll get past this; we'll find ways to cope.
We are the masters of our domain,
given free will; we will not choose pain.
I pray that democracy survives
intact: outside library archives.
We may well wish we had it someday,
then realize: we gave it away.
Do ostriches not watch the Capitol's public hearing?
Afraid Donald's name will be sullied in the smearing?
He's a black sheep that subversives keep on cheering,
He's a coup conspirator everyone should be jeering.
There's not much worse than a closed-minded fool
who allows him/herself to be used as a political tool.
Politics is as nasty as the overflow from a cesspool.
Trump takes a dump and his cohorts praise his stool.
Jim Jordan and other Republicans refuse to admit
that Trump controls them and they just won't quit
condoning his lies and alibis, and why do they do it?
They're ostriches who keep shoveling his stinky s...
Keep your heads buried. Sooner or later you'll see
that continuing to believe his BS is a damn travesty.
He's divided Americans on issues. What a tragedy!
If re-elected, he'll expect to be called, "Your Majesty."
I
When someone like me, embarrasses folk like me
We must have courage, choose the better remedy
Than silence seen as condoning the unspeakable act
Speak with the love we share here, prose and poetry,
Rather than deepen the hurt with thundering quiet
II
All of us lovers, romance poets, penmen of argument
Let our words be the flowers in an eternal monument
Police emotions lead to homicide, further chaos, pain
Why shy away from sharing - No, do not (explain or) vent
Evil by anyone, we all can snap! Stop a runaway trauma-train
I’LL GO ONCE MORE A ROVING
I’ll go once more a roving
Past my door beyond my gate
Fear and rules no more condoning
No authority berate
No more now for me to hunker
Nor to lock myself away
Loose the latch and leave the bunker
I regret I cannot stay
Take the path along the river
Cross the Heath and by the shore
In the sun I’ll no more shiver
I’ll go roving forth once more
Friends I’ll greet if not too nearing
But not veer nor shy away
Share the freedom with a clearing
Of restriction on our day
‘Safety first’ a favoured adage
In life values that we weigh
With elan as of a cabbage
Flinching ever from a fray
Those before us saw affliction
Faced a world surfeit with strife
Ventured forth without restriction
They embraced the game of life
Give us freedom of decision
May we not give reasoned voice?
Be not treated with derision
As if children, make no choice
In regime with no imposing
An existence smooth and bland
Let us go once more a roving
Wander free across the land
your panty
shield is
your
defense
i dont
mind
condoning
the con
dom
your planetary
coordinates
are toward
the South
where i'm
the North
but isn't it
even not
an if
scientIFically
that we were
meant to be
being polar
oppositely
attracted
Compassion
That which doesn’t kill us
Ironically makers us stronger
The tough life we’ve experienced
The abuse we’ve had to conquer
Many arrogantly judge the actions
Compassionless - disturbed by their perception of the view
Dogmatic in their position
Unfortunately – some weren’t as blessed as you
A child with no direction
Helpless – lost, scared, and all alone
Relying on anger and instincts
Manifesting from the insecurity of no safe home
Condoning bad behavior?
We all reap what we sow
However; a garden that’s been neglected
Needs extra love to thrive and grow
There will be trials and tribulations
Tumultuous – long are the days and nights
Many wrongs have been made
Patients – Guidance - strength will be gained in the fight
They say it takes a village
Let’s comprehend this beautiful truth
With love and compassion
Humanity – there’s beauty in me helping you
The precious children are our future
Let’s raise them up so they can see
Guided with compassion
Faith, hope, and love – it all starts with you and me
Life
Deep into that darkness learning
Life is for everyone
The incentive seemed happy spurning
Everyone is for life
I crave the unswayed, unimpressed upbringing
My aliveness, I could not awaken
Life is for everyone
Everyone is for life
And the agelessness never debating
Life
I remember I was acquiescing, remembering
I crave the instructional, inviting impermanence, temporary
Ah, distinctly I was condoning, remembering
But in the fact that it was dripping, temporary
It was slipping, ripping, gripping!
Reneging and reneging with my virtuousness
Nowness - nowness - nowness!
That moment my soul grew lonely
Life is for everyone
The abandoned auteurism acquiring
Back into my memories moralizing
All my soul within me inspiring
Life is for everyone
The sleepless school sermonizing
Everyone is for life
Life is for everyone, life
