Depose Poems | Examples

Deny, Defend, Depose

Deny the whispers that snake through the cracks,
their weight too heavy, their truth too raw.
Shield your soul with veils of silence,
words wrapped in shadows, never fully formed.

Defend the fortress you built in haste,
each brick laid with trembling hands,
each wall painted with promises unkept.
Stand your ground against the tidal doubt,
even as the waves carve their mark.

Dispose of the echoes that linger too long,
discard the shards of battles once fought.
Let the ruins crumble into forgotten dust,
for in their absence, a seed takes root.

MANIFESTO

MANIFESTO

Three words inscribed on a bullet
Finger on a trigger ready to pull it
This system that does not concede
Free healthcare at the point of need
Or each citizen having their own say
Then they express in their own way

It’s politically influential Big Pharma
That have a different kind of karma
Money not blood, is the circulation
Feeding each medical organisation
Donations keeps it just the way it is
Even when retribution begins to fizz

With certainties like death and taxes
Just where now indeed is that evil axis
Industries may be considered corrupt
As insurance fees are simply upped
What does it really take to lift the lid
Pushing the poor down the pyramid

Social medicine is seen as communist
The truth is diverted and then missed
It’s not capitalism in everyone’s sights
Or choosing to distort human rights
But money makes the world go round
Despite extortion often being found

Yet murder cannot justify a murder
Even in a kind of government purdah
A message has been sent, to be sure
Remember ‘Sicko’ by Michael Moore
And now the sense of injustice grows
From the words, Deny Defend Depose

Premium MemberWITHOUT A CONSCIENCE


WITHOUT A CONSCIENCE 

Are we without godly conscience... 
if I'm not mistaken,

Another human life 
was tragically taken.

There's no justice in murder, 
not even karma so cruel, 

For a death sentence decided, 
without a judge's rule.

Yes, we've been oppressed 
A murderer became obsessed 
by the system's"Deny, Defend, and Depose,"

Let not our anger be displaced, 
our right for justice erased.
though from our afflictions a killer arose

Let not a single satisfaction 
from just one man's appease,

Become a viral infection 
of his vicious disease.

Without conscience he pulled a trigger, 
so callously cold,

Let not this kind of evil
be the removal of our souls.

As I Sit Back Intranquility

As i sit back in tranquility ,
I travel in a lane of boulevard,
One memory always strike my Psyche,
A girl crying 'coz of the world,
Veiling her pain behind her smiley.

I worked hard to change her,
To make her get up and oppose,
Against all of them humiliate her,
And always wanted to depose,
Then she made her mind to fight.

Her attitude was very different then,
So that no one dares to question her again,
She worked hard to come out from those beasts,
Who humiliated her like a devil,
Keeping stone on her heart once again she took up her pen.

Then she began to write,
No doubt she was the best poet of the town ,
then the beast greeted her with a pleasant smile without any fight,
She got the world's best crown,
The crown of happiness and successful life.

Premium MemberToo Provocative

Russia valiantly fights 'a war of defense'
  against Ukraine which 'has given offense'
Can Russia depose 'the Nazi, Zelensky?'
  to end Ukraine's 'genocide of slaughtering Russenkis?'         (aka Russians)

Russia's 'defense of her people' is understandable
But are NATO's policies all-so-commendable?
NATO says 'Nyet' to to No-fly Zones -- 'too provocative'
  ~ Russia laughs at such 'justifications' for her to use her prerogative



________________________________________________________
Russia bombs a maternity hospital and a nuclear reactor; levels whole
towns; shells civilian apartment complexes indiscriminately -- and NATO
can't OK a 'No-Fly-Zone' -- a DEFENSIVE tactic! -- to stop it?!!! For the
sake of humanity, when will Western leaders find the courage to FIGHT 
this second coming of the murderous liar, Hitler?!!!!

Premium MemberMy Well-Earned Station

At last, when my soul shall find its rest,
And I shall relish those days of consolation
When someone says I have met the test
I am worthy of my well-earned station,
I’ll sigh, well, I escaped hell and damnation.

Of course, I never expected such a fate
To be cast down for living the life I chose,
Considering Father kept the pearly gates
And saw fit, to my benefit, never to disclose
All the unsavory things I chose not to depose.

Not that I am unlike most fellows I know
Who even at their best occasionally strayed, 
And, like me, in their younger days, though,
Were not so squeaky clean as they portrayed,
Whose best sides all were a tiny bit frayed.

Pure Magic


                           Rain laden storm clouds nurture mangroves

                           Inside man or beast live symbiotic microbes

                           Deceptions entraps the devout and fanatical

                           Believers defy agnostics depose the rational


                           Invisible waves illuminate dark cosmic space

                           Migrating essences and agelessness embrace

                           Life harboring galaxies astoundingly hypnotic

                           The universe is a manifestation of pure magic

Premium MemberHunger For Life

"The unwavering human desire for perpetuity"
 
                                                  --by poet--







                                              Hunger For Life




Desperation reason with destiny to depose inevitability and find utopian coast

Longevity is not an impervious spiritual armor weakened by an invasive ghost

Inculcated within thoughts are prognostications of inexorable advancing years

Endeavors defying the rules of gravity regrettably culminate in shedding tears



Polar winds menace leaves steadfastly clinging on as tainted skies appear dim

Beyond freezing horizons anonymous newly departed faces wander in tandem

Grey whales returned and blizzards withdrew except old towns are in disarray

Hunger for life contesting dreadfulness anticipate the dissolution of a blue day

Premium MemberWe Go To War

We go to war
to acquire more
  Land  

We go to war
to protect our investment
  the Oil 'neat the sand

We go to war
to depose your 'evil leader'
  strike up the band

We go to war
because we're right and you're wrong
  about internet broadband

We go to war
because your country is corrupt, impure
  as your dark-colored hands...

So, many will die
wives and mothers will cry
the world will shrug and sigh
  commentators will ask Why...

Whatever the reason
There's no way to 'ease in'
So many will die ~
  Can't war just be banned

Be careful with words you intone,
because words have lives of their own.
Words overblown, relayed on the phone,
words in harsh tones that jolt, stun and depose,
and shock us with what they disclose.

Petals Falling

I took health for granted,
my youth like a rose

To bloom in the present,
till thorns would depose

Attacking my body,
invading my mind

The sleep I’d grown used to,
much harder to find

Not a cold or a fever
for so many a year

No matter the weather,
with nothing to fear

But time is recalling
its card worn and thin

Infirmity threatens
—death budding within

Premium MemberAvernus Underconsciousness

The cypress trees at water’s edge hedge an entrance.
We circle senseless, aimless, wheezing from the stench. 
We are unprepared for this netherworld mischance,
this lifeless pool without birds where we entrench.

Drawn into the grotto leading to the abode of the dead,
we are alarmed to find the design is quite familiar.
Our handwriting and signatures cannot be misread.
All around our cacotopian creation seems so peculiar.

Dank alleys crowded; COVID corpses decompose.
Back when, we passively handed the reign of power
to a petulant fiendish bully we might not now depose.
His smirking cult spews contempt like a shower.

Meanwhile conspiracy capers cavort clucking tongues,
and we view our nihility specters, seeking our escape. 
But this vortex germ befouls the air, attacking our lungs.
Our vertigo fatigue means our breakout can’t take shape.

This is long lost Avernus, the black hole of our making.
Thoughtless, this virus only preys on any for the taking.

Whimpers Shall Not Well Nor Weep

chakra shot, aura ignored
inner peace left unexplored
feelings sans a sounding board
blest I’ve left the mindless horde

friends, none that lie to me
or neighbors that like to see
a banshee wailing jamboree 
self-reproach is absentee

no dogs, cats, or swimming fish
little is left demanding wish
lunch mirrors a petri dish
the future passed with reminisce

up every day at the crack of noon
to nosh on candies and macaroon
suck helium from a red balloon
entertained at the Shambles Saloon

the postman left mail today
junk and clutter some might say
bills and debts remain unpaid
life is better left unplayed

beds splayed displayed
clothes unwashed too deep to wade
dust layered is carefully laid
happiness is now homemade

the sun set that never rose
reflections must I suppose
account, compound, and then depose
neatly rowed in juxtapose

lying down at last to sleep
importuning God will keep
me whole, sweet, and replete
whimper shall not well or weep
