Demands Poems - Poems about Demands

All these demands
Its might can contain you But only for the moment that you care They will challenge you But only for how long they can stare They will see if you will cross the line That they have drawn in the sand But if their claims have no moral value The wind will erase the reason for their demand...

You cannot silence, what demands to be heard
Not only did they colonise land They colonised history too They decided to make history a blank canvas To start anew By painting over the colour in white paint Hiding the accomplishments of tge black race They say slavery was in the past We need to move on But continously teach us about the holocaust And when a black...

The Bleeding That Love Demands
Love takes pain— it bleeds you long before it dries you out. Only those with blood to spare survive it. It takes so much to live through that bleeding. A needle— that’s all it takes. Love finds an infinite number of them. Like thorns beneath rose petals, it hides in beauty and pierces without warning. It won’t ever leave you alone until it drains your...

LOVE like you DON'T
With no attachments No possession nor expectations, Love like you DON'T. With no demands No conditions nor Afflictions Love like you DON'T. Let them question your intentions As you allow yourself to settle, Like a river with no shore. Like you don't care Be like a dream, That fades with no trace. Ofcourse it's dangerous game But will definitely let you know If it is worth a stay, It will...

Fourth and Four
Adjust and move four words for worth/ Aghast at July 4th I’ll power forward north / Away from what’s been uncovered worse than I’ve ever been coerced I devour and nourish as the demeanor looks gorgeous/ He could just be mean and cook gorges/ Or spree clean to book and flee out of storage in the mind/ Got to...

All His Demands Are Foreign
The way Mark does his Campaign, The way he drinks his champagne, Manner of smiling at Pain And what he says after Gain: Nothing Black: all through ''White''! Mark's smacked lips he would leave tight... In Mark's Black life the Whites reign, All his voiced demands foreign: The movies he wished he'd seen, The countries he dreamt he'd been: In Mark's world "no worthy being"; The...

Life is a series of demands. Hurry up, perform. Do your homework, write a paper, oh and read 300 pages, get in those volunteer hours, grab those lab credentials. I get busy, caught up in projects and I forget stuff like dinnertime, peeing before it’s an emergency, or like calling you - last night. On vacation I’m unplugged, I’m avoiding focus, I’m...

When times are dark and treachery reigns…… Evil people appear looking for glorious political fame. They do everything to scare you, to-get your vote. Their dishonesty, fiils our innocent souls with no hope. Never mind them………..what about your family and you? You may be responsible for putting them in office, now what are you going to do? How much more freedom...

A Memory That Demands To Be Heard
I don’t want to go down that road again Remembering the whos hows what why and when Each time it is the same To go over it is such a drain Will there ever again be a time Just to sit and the rest be mine And what will be the final word A memory that demands to be heard. © Paul Warren...

Premium Member Meeting Demands
Pathways often guide a promise, To a novel, stated bliss. Through barren fantasy and rich Imagination . . . another's kiss. Connections can be easily seen, By these many threads to touch. Though some will hold loose and gently, Still others may need to clutch. The contacts...

Premium Member Without Tyrannical Demands
Your innate desires aren't demanded with a man-child tantrum. With commendable actions, you command your needs gently. Your force isn't launched upon my face, but in place you open the door. With eyes on the battlefield, you yield your members to protect me. Your height isn't guided by suppression; I'm impressed with your helpful reach. Your deep pitch isn't coupled with insults, but lifted in...

A Demanding Steed
A Demanding Steed Once upon a crisp Winter morning, while the cardinals so lively, announced the awakening of a new day. I sprang out of bed, pressed play on the radio, and begin to dress for a trek across the field and dance. My brown leather boots were still warm from the heater they had been placed...
