Inculcate Poems | Examples

Premium MemberOh, To Preach

Oh, to preach, to pontificate
Seize the “bully” pulpit
Bask in the reverberations
Of your own voice
Mock the sanctity of silence

To expound on the simplicity
Of the impossibly attainable
Berate the questioners
Expound on humility
In stained glass superiority

To infiltrate the openness
Of childlike minds
Inculcate the innocence
With tainted seed

Oh, rave on
You echo-chambered ego
Your bellicose denials
Deny their truth

New India - True India

Say no to corruption, 
May it be a transition! 
Stay eco-friendly, 
Make it intently! 

Vanquish poverty, 
Vindicate prosperity! 
Integrity in words, 
Hospitality in hearts! 

Cognizance of calibre, 
Counter to briber! 
Industrial development, 
Immense employment! 

Induce space mission, 
Inculcate transmission! 
Sedentary is mortality, 
Make farming a necessity! 

Snatch your rights, 
Use them wise! 
Oblige to carve new India, Our true India!

Eponine

the kindness
the goodness you inculcate
- they surplus

you're a young brave woman, my Éponine, 
your petty crimes made you no fault 
it was your parents that leads you to

you deserve more the love
you've been giving his
you are selfless

Rest now, little lady
Up there you'd see the Love
the earth oppressed You

Premium MemberTo Be Childlike

Somewhere along the way we lose our childlikeness. We must always keep in mind that Jesus said, “[Let] the little children come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such are the kingdom of heaven.” This makes me believe that we must inculcate the quality of childlikeness if we are going to be worthy of entering into the kingdom of God. Children pretend but are not pretentious. Children see life as it really is, not as they wish it could be. Children are happy with what they have, not greedy for more. Children know the meaning of unconditional love without being taught. 

Lord, to be childlike
to see You as life’s treasure
always seeking grace

Mother's Day

Those who understand me without saying everything,
The one who gets scared before me in every trouble...!

Even if I don't have it, still it is with me,
There is a new hope in everything...

She encourages me
That's what's most special
when she is with
So happiness is also around me...!

Oh! My dear mother,
You are my world.
In the garden of my life,
Flower of happiness
You are a gardener...!

Like flowers smell the gardens,
That's how you smell my life.
As water makes a plant grow,
In the same way you inculcate us with good thoughts...!

Avenge your favors
How will I pay you, mum?
Will my daughter's be like you, mum!?

Premium MemberLet's Start

All religions in the world preach the noblest morals
Show us live harmoniously without quarrels.
Constitutions of nations advocate ideal ways
Inculcate unity and fraternity always.
The pious scriptures, great preaching contained
Rights and duties, the manuals clearly explained
Ancient cultures are forever to be cherished
Their roots and origins shouldn’t be perished
Wars, never be the antidotes; take issues to discussions
Or else the whole race has to face the repercussions
Acknowledge that no race is superior to others 
All have their own radiance and unseen covers
Self-centric, the only reason for all plights
Change mindsets and then think for the rights
Are we the sole owners of this soil?
To rebuild this pristine land, need to toil.
Summits and seminars may find out reasons and remedies
Let’s start! Be a part of the marathon to bring back the melodies.

My Space Odyssi

Let’s get our articles republished
With all our efforts just refurbished
In the perfect situation of time warp 
We have to march past. Let’s unwrap!
Either we end as a scapegoat
Or we find another spacegoat
The space phenomenon being magic
Like a poetry, science and music
Space being the definition of time
Insufficient is our knowledge of dime
Let’s try our words to rhyme
Creating impact that does chime
Let’s go for iconic innovation 
Before the species start renovation
Before one gets congestion nasal 
Let’s help the agency ‘NASA’L
Exploration of space is space-ploration
Exploitation of space is space-ploitation
All the folks that are virtuous and wise
Let’s inculcate the skill to televise
The question seems to be awesome
Whether the aliens are so wowsome
The theories of physical time dilation
Will alert us from doing any violation
Preserving our ancient culture
Let’s design the space couture

The Story of a Private Teacher

A teacher is a creature
Whose life a miniature
Those who follows the management culture
At last the management becomes a vulture

Teacher have to do the job 
It's as a sales executive bob
To make students to buy the books
Else their salaries will be tied to hooks

Teacher have to do admissions
To get the commissions
Teachers who gets more admissions
Will get more promotions

Teacher have to do their jobs other than to educate
Which will make the private schools to inculcate
To make huge profits they slaughter the teachers
But they will provide slighter salaries to the teachers

This is what happens to a teacher tobe degrade
That makes the schools profits to an upgrade
That's the reason a teacher is a scapegoat
Where he cannot effort a goat.

Our impulses does civilisation set out to control
Regulation rules.
Let slip society's commandments
And the feral runs riot.

Between the rational and the visceral 
There is a constant struggle
Identified so starkly in The Heart Of Darkness
Where unmoored from the diktats of custom
Kurtz  his moral compass loses.

This same lesson does Lord Of The Flies 
Try to inculcate
And the horrors of tribalism
Does indicate
With sadistic cruelty
Buttressed by the strength of power

Today the internet with all its temptations
Anonymity,images of perversion
And the hubris of the individual
The shackles of constraint sunders
To drive the individual
To  explore 
The dark side of human nature.

It is a deeper belief
That within one must reside 
A bulwark to throw up
Against the rising tide
To hold back
The wrecking waves
Imperilling
What the Good Lord set out to save.

Competence

Hey demons, you can't conquer me
Chaos is away now
It's the light that shines 
Inculcate this,that you are gonna be No more.

It's not a war
There are no bloodsheds 
It's just the expulsion,all of a sudden
Get ready to be smothered to ashes.

To the moon and back,here comes power
And these notions are not froths
It's the steel from the test of fire
That's gonna vanish you.

Here is me,to abstain you from victory
The occult waves are ready
Today it's a beginning
For thousands to unburden them from you.

Slay Mama and the Slain

Man down ,slay on..... 
Is the anthem, as she churn louder 
Fix, paint, tight and briefs...
So she presumed the loudest 
Culture inborn but she doesn't Observe precepts 
On some Instagram cos that's what's on 
Flow so flowing when the followers turned on 
But before on onset ,
Thoughts of these filled her mind 
Now she's less upset 
Cos she dwelleth 
More on the facet 
Rather than the content 
Of humanity ......
 

She feels less concerned 
Cos Her life is a major advert 
Bringing more of perverts 
Cos she would rather stay controversial 
Than mind what ya say.. 

Now, Its a pity cos  I'm 'pointing fingers 
I first came unto earth, backed up by the universe 
Adam my first name..
Mind grew and still growing 
Inventions stay the meter 
So everyone applauding 
Smile so Real 
But most for the gram 
Say cheese !
Now brothers staying cheesed up 
Some on the facet 
Cos most on the gram.  
Forth a friction, igniting 
What our taken ribs do...

Culture and morals should  re inculcate 
The Old-folks pray on....
Yonder is how the world shifts though. 
         
                            Status quo ....

I sit in judgment of my students
and hate to be trapped in that position.
Just a lab assistant with his rodents, 
training them to accept their condition,
hoping that what little critique that
I can inculcate aids in their travails
through space and time and facilitate
their own questions at times that power fails
to provide good answers to the life
they find themselves trapped in hopelessly,
and sometimes to the point of greater grief.
Why can not education be mainly 
a conversation with respectful rules
between those who need, and those who have tools.

Elements of life





Many positive elements
that we need to inculcate,
Since power of traits
defines a character.

Itself one of four classical elements,
with a mention in Greek philosophy,
Defined as life and death in later occultism,
Hindus call it Mother Earth,
that nurtures and sustains.

Growing and breathing
beaming in sun,
Inherently neutral,
Nature sanguine, choleric, 
Phlegmatic or melancholic,
Create immense power
with union of fire and water.

Can we soar towards 
that longing 
for light after death,
If we keep untransformed 
negativity alive ?
Can we lose to 
spiritual consciousness,
and remain unaware
of the Union of elements ?

Plastic Siblings

Genial to avoid confrontation
Baseborn kind, complaisant character
A spurious recital, a cheap imitation
Apocryphal mind, and comical creations
Counterfeited Christ
An unholy effusion
Sons of Belial
Clutch arcane knowledge
Esoteric information

Delve into oracular verse.
Deadened faith
Recondite belief denuded denials
Portentous and abstruse
Divested of the truth
Desolate road
Traveled day after day
Seriatim in miles
Strangled in hyperbole
Hypothetical noose

Cheaply loose
Tightening
methodically

Suicidal salvation
Covertly clandestine
Do what art wilt
Deliver the chosen
indoctrinate guilt
Derision to the destined
To learn love over hate
Adoration to inculcate
Imbue their sick lessons.

Positive Mind

Positive mind – Zamreen Zarook

Minds are of various type,
Most are solely stereotype,
Positive once are always phenotype,
But being neutral also not a prototype.
 
Mind become as the main role player,
It is our biggest annoyer,
No doubt, it’s our great betrayer,
Understanding this makes an extra ordinary player.
 
Wrong assumptions inculcate due to this sight,
People don't know its height and weight,
Misunderstandings and crushes are as light,
Our negative eye was our sky light.
 
A boy goes to wine store,
Controlling the mind out of deplore,
Make our mind say “He went for a cash change” and it was his core,
It’s our time to change our folk lore.
