Failed From Far
The most awaited result got announced, but Internet hadn't landed the soil of my country then. Televisions were tabled in few pocketed places, Still they worked, minute and achromatic. With huge audience circled, signal was word alien, Viewers would holler in unison, "It's raining!" I now understand the fluctuation of signal, We'd leave the jammed hall. No rain outside! Correspondences saw only...

Failed From Far
The most awaited result got publicized, but Internet hadn't landed the soil of my country. Televisions were tabled in few pocketed places, Still they worked, minute and achromatic. With huge audience circling, signal was word alien, Viewers would holler in unison, "It's raining!" I now understand the fluctuation of signal, We'd leave the jammed hall. No rain outside! Correspondences saw only lethargic typewriters, That...

Hearsay and Heresy Than Sissy and More
Hearsay and Heresy Than Sissy We had heard that it became hearsay, Which soon ended up being heresy, And we bet, Was upset, By words from Trump who is a sissy. Learned how to laugh and can equate, Having been on time or ending up late; Then wind watch; Things not botch, While we would remain in stable state. Mistletoe Mixed with Hollyhock What we did was...

Vapidity
Woe betide lower men who fickle facades embrace And wit’s hard-won gold for shifting dross exchange; Dubbing avarice-sired glosses exquisite gems pure, With obscuring eyes decimating solid worth's range. With their own ears they cannot first-hand hear, And gauge if wild grapevines solid realities say; There's always standard hearsay in each sphere, That defines world’s weightier subjects of the day. It's...

Opinion and the Grapevine
An Opinion blindly thinks, but Boldly speaks out loud Judgment of...Perspective on... Doesn't matter to the crowd As quick as it leaves the lips, it's retold with words anew Snowballs fast, has bigger plans For Opinion's point of view Big Ears-Big Mouths pass it on Reporting it; "As the truth!" A small fish becoming a whale of a tale... Without a single shred...

Take it easy with people talk, Light and breezy as a slow walk. Take it simple when rumour hurls, Light and gentle as half truths swirl. Take it lightly with fake charades, Light and softly in mock parade. Take it wisely such sneaky ways, Light and witty will work the play. Take it easy with crafty tongue, Light and promptly be beyond dung. Leon Enriquez 23...

It's Simple Hearsay
They ask me how I write these words.. Like who's my favourite poet.. Is it Keats, a Wordsworth or maybe what about a Bronte.. Perhaps the lordly Byron.. It's not in written words, but what I hear and see.. When standing in the shopping queue.. such sordid conversations.. How much that bag of peas?.. or...

(To Those Who Like To Talk) "Use No Hurtful Deceit. Think Innocently And Justly And When You Speak, Speak Accordingly." Ben Franklin He said, She said, every word, Is often less than perfect; And When we repeat what we have heard, It's often not correct; So if you must repeat a thing, Make sure of all your info, Or you may...

Hearsay
Do you vote your mind Or court your heart Acquitting party faithful Whose lies never grow apart Do you vote for choice Or for political extortion Condemning any candidate Who decries abortion Do you vote for jobs Or rally against illegitimate wars Picketing the freedoms Of meat-eating, capitalist stores Do you vote for education Or for your ideological slant Burning a child’s future For an author’s utopian rant Do you vote...
