Diphtheria Poems | Examples


Death of Plotinus

Friendly sage from the starless height 
Now dying without fright 
In his human and earthly sight 
The cosmos dimmed its light 
Dying from old diphtheria 
Still his will looked higher 

He lost his voice to teach and greet 
That poured wisdom so sweet 
All he could do was meekly bleat 
Uclers formed on his feet 
Uclers broke through his gentle hands 
And sweat poured from his glands 

“I’ve been waiting to see 
You at last before I am free 
The Divine within me 
I will give back with childlike glee 
To the Good and Divine 
To the highest, beautiful Vine” 

“I have hope for you too 
I will fly the path of the few 
The path that Plato knew 
I am glad you will see me through” 
He said as he leaked puss 
To his dear friend Eustochius  

His friend was by his side 
Glad in the fertile countryside   
A snake slithered to hide 
With logos as his inner guide 
He took his final breath 
Greeting his diligent friend, death 

He left at sixty-six 
No longer bound to fleshly tricks 
Flew above stars and Styx 
Flew high above the craftsman’s bricks 
He ascended to the One 
Thus, his own friendly will was done

The Ulterior For the Interior

If your motives are ulterior,
Then, hatch them in The Interior
Where the Blame-Worthy is senior 
And the Praise-Worthy junior;
But your gain: Satan’s hysteria,
In hospitals Fresh Diphtheria,
The Ulterior makes The Inferior
Hardly, The Ulterior superior:
The by-nature meant for the rear, 
Coastal regions and ones by a ria 
Welcoming Sacrifice to Fear…

If your motives aren’t The Ulterior,
Yourself produce at The Exterior
Without notice of the prior.

The Jab

I am somewhat disenchanted by what I’ve seen and read
Antivaxxers believe the lie that soon the vaccinated will be dead
That our leaders are out to get us, dictating what we need
and will decrease the population by deciding how we breed

I’ve heard more twisted theories in my time upon this rock
made so much worse with rumors on you tube and tic tok
I pray that common sense will soon take hold of every friend
Covid 19 is NOT just another virus. Don’t let it be your end

Remember mumps, measles, tetanus and whooping cough
They were cured by science, not a de wormer in a trough
Think of polio, rubella, diphtheria, hepatitis B and A
Thanks to vaccinations, these diseases were kept at bay

This world is full of deadly germs, we make perfect hosts
Please listen to the doctors instead of any ill-informed posts
Life is short, so show respect for the time you’ve got
Think of others, not just yourself.  Now go and get your shot!

Vaccinate

Covid 19 on the run now.
We're gonna have tons of fun now.
So long we've had to cope.
Now,finally there's hope.
So, let's not act like dopes.
VACCINATE!
The progress that has been happening.
It is because of the vaccine.
The vaccine is the way.
To see a brighter day.
Don't let it slip away.
VACCINATE! 

Diphtheria-Smallpox-Measles-Pertussis.
Vaccines made them hardly exist.
Polio-Mumps-Rubella-Tetanus.
Let's put Covid on that list.

So,people let's be wise.
Yes,vaccines do save lives.
Do not believe the lies.
Please don't wait.
Don't hesitate.
VACCINATE!!

My Lydia, My Lydia

My Lydia, my Lydia, 
You undoubtedly have contracted chlamydia.
During one of your sex-capades, 
In a beloved city, somewhere in Syria, or India, 
Or presumably from the talented guy, 
You willingly met at the cafeteria in Nigeria. 
maybe it was the Presbyterian at the meridian?
Oh My Lydia, my Lydia, you say its just trivia 
Remember Olivia from Bolivia contracted diphtheria. 
She customarily wore a bougainvillea in her hair. 
After every consensual affair, with eccentric millionaires
I saw her today she looked worn and in despair, 
Even though mature life was unfair, she still had a little flair. 
and wore a fragrant flower in her flowing hair.
My Lydia, my Lydia what's that, you say, you don’t care.


To Apply

I feel equivalent to an alien
as if I don't belong
for I am Pleiadian
I'm extremely headstrong

Although I understand struggle
I imagine we could still overcome
if we can learn to juggle
then to this we wouldn't succumb

Have we become to ostracism
when someone doesn't meet our criteria
magnifying a prism
as if they have diphtheria

I recognize it's difficult
but we must somehow comply
to obtain that which is Biblical
and this to apply

Frank J. Paul

1866 - 1887

The first I was!
Into the first hole they put me.
Down the lane they carried me that day,
Tearfully singing the first dirge for me –
Frank J. Paul –
The first to be interred on Willit Dorland’s property.
Mother and father – Thank you. Thank you.
You both prayed long into the night – 
For a fortnight –
Fervently prayed on bended knees with folded hands
For my dubious but full recovery from diphtheria –
Wept and prayed -
Fasted and sang for my afflicted body –
Prayed and pleaded continuously-
As my breath shortened and
My heart slowed to a stop.
Mother and Father – Thank you. Thank you.
Indeed, the first of many I was!
Me – Frank J. Paul!
For I was -
The first sunrise!
The first breath!
The first smile and
The first embrace!
Nothing left to say, except
The first I was!

Mean To Paula Dean

Mean to Paula Dean

Why should we be mean to Paula Dean
To us in America is the cooking queen,
Who used a word which was a no no
I had heard from Sunny Bono and Ono.

Just because it happened to be her,
To your big brain did it ever occur
She had been referring to a Brazil nut
Found in South America often in a hut.

So instead we need to go to Nigeria;
While there did catch a case of diphtheria,
But still that certain word will not use
Or I'll be accused of English abuse.

Colloquial, word has been called by some;
This is what you say when you are dumb;
I have never been known as a perfect saint;
Worst word I ever used was one called ain't.
