Disputable Poems | Examples


Premium MemberPretty Beautiful

Here's the nitty-gritty:

I don't need a city 
Or the vote from some committee
To tell me that you're pretty
That fact is indisputable 
Wholly irrefutable 
The truth of it immutable...

Bluebird, you are beautiful!!

He Went

So there he was
hanging loosely from the electric ceiling
of heaven or hell - hard to tell.
His body below still hooked
to hospital tubes that sucked nothing into nothing.

Apparently his mind and his wristwatch went with him.

('Went' being a verb more properly understood
as a metaphor for staying put).

It was a full four minutes since
and time was ticking on.

He thought maybe he should do something
but his feet were cold
and the window was closed to any outer reality.

Eventually he felt a tug
on his bare left leg.
"O boy" he thought "this is it
I'm gonna be dragged down to that place!'

However

(and this is not a fiction but a factual blob
of ectoplasmic truth),

it was his own child-self pulling,
leading him into a warm womb;

notwithstanding the evidence
of his most disputable position,
being that he was dead but not dead

to wit - alive

he gladly and metaphorically 'went'
to meet himself.

Premium MemberI Eat Meat

.                                    I EAT MEAT

                     I EAT MEAT... and vegetables too
                         but my belly reflects on me,
                and subsequently, does not show on you,
                                 the vegetarian.


Romans 14 New International Version (NIV)
The Weak and the Strong
14 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. 2 One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3 The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. 4 Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.

Footprints

We come into the world
one by one, one by one
one time we go-one by one
but what foot prints do you leave
as a mark of life lived?

Some leave no foot prints
others- half foot prints
still others- rough foot prints
some- ones wind steals quickly

It is a mark of duty
to humanity in life lived
to leave behind after departure
foot prints that generations
and generations after generations
use to guide human existence

Foot prints that shouts silently
in hearts of humanity
that ideal life one lives
is life for others- not self
achievement of things
not material, not disputable
but the intangible goods
the qualitative goods
universally desired
by every living soul
and those that depart

Unveiling Darkness

There lies a shadow
Of darkness and despair,
A disputable foe
Filled with lost prayer.

There lies a light
Of purity and hope,
The truth to what's right
In this poem of trope.

Can you tell of the two?
If so, which one are you?

Negotiating Wisdom

How many hours are invested
in convincing Job's comforters
of disputable convictions


when perhaps 


depth lies in silent dialogues 

between a heart and a mind,

and can never be fully understood 

while lips attempt negotiations
to coerce agreements

by voicing disagreements...


... perhaps even wisdom has deviations;
maybe, wisdom in essence

is what works best for you 

when you need an answer.
