Justify Me
I gaze at petals on the shore
my love soaked in the ocean’s salt;
Lullaby on the sea breeze sings
‘Justify this cuckoo default.’
What it is that hums just for you?
Cut it up and feed on the thorns;
Haute with potency that lingers
strut of vibrant color adorns.

Freedom
Freedom to speak.
Freedom to lie.
Freedom to covet and justify.
Freedom to bully.
Freedom to buy.
Freedom to exploit the little guy.
Freedom of power.
Freedom to reach.
Freedom to rally with hate speech.
Freedom to love.
Freedom to hate and
freedom to state divisiveness makes America great.

Justify
Look at all you happy people in your stupid hats!
I hate all you happy people, who think it is fun to dance.
I can’t sing, so I don’t do karaoke,
What you think of that?
I just do not give a damn.
I think I dislike everybody, but I am giving you a third chance.
Go on and impress me

Justify the Pain
It’s not easy being here anymore
We know love’s the answer and fates the cure
We’ve both been through more
Than our hearts should endure
Our minds both fight the same endless war
We’re both finding ways to justify the pain
And any day now we’ll put an end to this rain
The promises we make are only footsteps away
But for

Justify
If the villain of someone's story is you
And the heroes you should fear
Instead of justifying, grin from ear to ear
Don your Cape, bear your fangs,
Laugh a villain's laugh
Self righteous folk will shudder at what hides behind your mask.
It comes naturally to justify when demonised are you
But that won't make them ask themselves
Am I a

The Ethical Dilemma
Ever came across a situation when your heart and your mind are in a state of conflict?
Your heart speaks one thing but your mind is in stark contrast!
Well!
Yes I have.
And not just once but rather frequently.
To lie is unethical and wrong.
But if your lying saves a life, is it still wrong?
We all say NO.
But

I never felt the need for a poem
When you were with me
Every moment was a story
Full of joy and laughter!
You asked me to write a poem for you
about you...
Musing hard and quit later
Nothing to write about you
You were a poem for me
A poem about a poem!
Only need a critic to take out the beauty

Why Always You
Why always and always you
I do everything with you
And always think about you
I have to justify myself
Wonder no one but myself
And do everything by myself

Justify Anything With Religion
Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
Surely the most pious, learned Christian in all the land
Came out today with a most scholarly shocker
For which I find it hard to do aught but mock her
She told several fawning reporters** that restricting abortion
Is against the Christian faith, at least its most important portion
She explained that Christians are given free will,

When Ends Justify Means
When rapture outcomes
spiritually hoped for,
Paradise faithed in,
loved,
justify unnaturally violent missionary means...
When only scientific and deductively logical
reductive educational goals
justify:
Anti-spiritual wide and shallow unlearning means
Monocultures must TeacherWin before we StudentLose
Mono-supreme theistic Lose/Lose terror and neglect
AND yet quiet WinWin hope
for integrative Wonder and cooperative Awe,
When cultural orthodoxy rewards
Monotonous Win/Lose colonization methods,
monochromatic disintegrating lack of co-operative meaning,
mono-maniacal mistrust means...
This

Say Sorry
Don’t be afraid to say sorry
Don’t be scared to cry loud the tears of apology
No boat can sail the ocean of offence except sorry
No ticket is valid to access the broken heart either
Sorry is the master key to open all the doors
Even the pillar of love has no strength without sorry
Sorry is the song of

Why Our Love Won'T Fly
When love gets buried in the sand
Looking around to see where this love will land
When your love has become so demanding
Everywhere it takes you you're left standing
Not able to signify how this love all got by
Why our love won't fly
Unable to certify the love you try to justify
One that is broken that no longer works

Betrayed
I wanted you to know
That you did not steal the show
Unable to harness the harmony
You did not screw this up for me
In fact, it's such a huge favor
Not wasting the fruits of my labor
Knowing you were out to deceive thee
I don't know why you don't believe me
When I told you how I feel about

When the Time Is Right
As life passes on by
The more we try to justify
All the people we greet on the fly
When we meet our minds
Sort out what we want to keep
How we know is when we start to glow
When the right things
Have us going whoa
When everything starts to grow
With a positive flow
We are taking it nice and slow

Justify the Means
Billions in taxes
Dished out on deep space research
For mankind’s progress
While millions know starvation
Who is defining progress?
