Ideals Poems - Poems about Ideals

God is an artist
God is many things Among those, an artist The sky, his blank canvas Sprinkled with hue of varying intensities The sun A golden fiery orb Emitting light for all to see To me, it's pure symbolism of What Jesus is And what we should strive to be To be the light of the world Not being consumed by the darkness Of the worldly ones I...

Premium Member Running with Rex
Running with Rex I rowed a boat into a lake, to clear my head from feelling addled. I forgot my big brown dog Rex, but after me he paddled. A loyal shadow in the water, but my eyes just looked ahead Rex's breath was giving out, but his spirit had not fled. Luckily, father launched a boat from the beach. Like...

The world of ideals
It’s a pity, this world isn’t ideal, It’s a pity, we’re defect. We, people are sinners. It’s banal, we’re rebuild the Paradise by ourselves. We live with such laws, Which we’re devise here It’s uncomfortable on the throne. And somebody likes the dirt. And someone flies on the wings of glory. But felt before despair, fright, shame Another is sitting on the bench forever, And...

Old and New 4 : Continue To Sing
OLD AND NEW 4 : CONTINUE TO SING Sipping cold champagne in silver cuff links at Thai restaurants eating red curried prawns while workers gape at former leaders sold Forlorn women starve in naked hospital corridors rulers drool in blue pools with pink jewelled lovers Rushing from airport to airport bargaining for who knows On plains of poverty children...

Ideals Ideals High ideals? We all had them In the forties, in college, those long, all-night heated arguments, sitting cross-legged on the floor, debating how to change the world. Words – ideas, what we could do some day. Twenty years before the sixties, waves of political injustices student revolutions on campuses across the country, young scholars no longer debating, leaving their classes, holding sit-ins, hunger...

Ideals What Ideals
The idea of ideals sits inside Those things to remember and not be denied They are tied to each other being strong That have been thought through all along I look to live through them you see If I am a success in what I’ll finally be For those ideals are easy for me to write But harder to live by in...

Home Sweet Home
Picturesque and simple with sweet little windows, Tidy guestrooms beside stylish bedrooms, A kitchen straight out of a home catalog, All contain inside plastic walls. Blush, copper, teal walls leading to a bathroom, Cobalt blue hibiscus designs on matching tea sets, Coordinating furniture in every room. Delicate and perfect from the roof to the garden. Impeccable ideal home, a tangible version of home. A...

Hue Obsessed Ideals
Hue Obsessed Ideals No man my superior Be, nor inferior To a degree When he and I agree From despair’s begging cups To wealth’s wanton cusp When reason dies All lies turn into flies But before agreement Must be interment There, wherever Hate scatters its fever If man in his glory Basks in infamy Asks without shame Why him? All stays the same But if instead he says Let us give praise No matter...

Valley of Peaceful Ideals
Looking up I see the craggy hills glowing in the sun way above this green lush valley….smiling I walk under a mantle of tall trees, skipping along a path of dense leaves and flowers The air is filled with the music of nature the buzzing of the bees as they go about their toil. Clicking noises of the crickets and other...

The stars wink above in the heavens high, I look for Mars, Venus, and lil' Pluto; Planets I see but cannot journey go, Glad still I know that they are in the sky. The moon revolves around my little world; The white beams that forever freely shine, But I cannot ever truly call mine - Are dearer than things I...
