Long Backs to the wall Poems

as the PROPHETS of profits, WE lead and WE’re fair
while WE’re living the life of the poor BILLIONAIRE
– silver yachts, pearly castles, cash (plenty to spare) –
with the world on OUR backs... ah! the burdens...

Awaking blithe each morning,
with eyes upon the World,
I wonder, are we mourning
with ebon flags unfurled –
or are they but a warning,
some draped like snakes and curled,
stray stars and stripes adorning,
sent from the netherworld.

I wander through...

I held onto the top and looked over the fence
with a mighty jump and lift. The fence was so high
I struggled to see what was beyond.
It had taken all my strength to get near the...

Adam was a husband,
misused by a wife.
He was very sincere,
and slain with a knife.
Ann laughs at his funeral.
She snickers to the bank.
She escapes with his earnings,
and leaves his life blank.
Ann fooled him for jewelry,
gained his...

Herein lies the identity of their enemy
Herein lies the description of the abuses
Herein lies the claims against their tyrant
Herein lies the picture of their fixed intolerance
Herein lies their 'no recourse' and plan of action
Herein lie...

Staring down a long road. By Anthony Grinder, on 1/22/2017

I'm in a hole I can't dig out., 
Fighting but I can't win., 
Won't do no good to scream and shout., 
What's the point of trying...

Waiting beside the seaside absent who never arrives after graven payment-
Standing by Stan's shadow of ascent looks for loners promise repents,
Sullen watch golden sold feelings lost upon darken silhouette in trusted...

At ten o’clock each morning, the Barley Tavern opens up its door,
and every now and then I saunter down, just making sure,
that Ken the barman hasn’t slept in, so he might need a call,
to satisfy...

I walked into the wasteland with no shoes upon my feet
And I vowed to reinvent myself for everyone I'd meet
I left behind Madonna with her fingers on the phone
As I wandered in the wilderness just...

I look across the tables filled with crowds of people and I see cliques, families, and couples. These are structures to me, under constant construction yet fully complete at the same time. There, stands pillars...

Feel not sorrow on my behalf
As I slip into the past
For my greatest accomplishment
Is a legacy that will last

I've dedicated the bulk of my life
To the service of my neighbor
But I've been rewarded time and...

Finally got home in the dead of a cold night 
With the Gators starting to pull away in this holiday fight 
It seems like this is the end to the day full of games 
That...

Underdog 

Have you ever been counted out 
Before you were counted in 
You felt like you took a lot of losses 
But in the end, the goal was to win 
You faced all kinds of...

WE ALMOST –IT’S JUST ALMOST
We fail to draw the line between facts and fairytales
We fight with our backs against the wall-wars of life
We hope for the hopeless that they will meet our needs
We stand for...

some think that others
Holds the key to their happiness
And look in the wrong hearts
Only to find hurt in the process

Some think they can rush
The love they so badly seek
But if love is not truly solid
Then...

I look back to the sixties, standing for a cause
Change society, from the world remove the flaws
How the seeds of discontent were scattered
We walked with a purpose, make a statement for the land
An urge to...

THE MEDIA SHOUTS AND CLAIMS.
THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY OUT.
I AND MANY OTHERS,
SEEM TO HAVE SERIOUS DOUBTS.

POLITICAL PRISONERS VS.
POLITICAL SLAVES.
WITH THEIR UNENDING MANDATES
WAVE AFTER WAVE.

WITH NO PROOF OR EVIDENCE
AND NO RESEARCH FILES.
TO UNCOVER, 
THE NAKED TRUTH
WILL...

I’ve lost everything, my backs to the wall,
Where are my friends, no one seems to call,
I’ve heard the whispers, liar, cheat and nutter,
So I’m always alone where I lie in the gutter.

I reached for the...

THE ELITE CORPORATIONS,
HAD KNOWN ALL ALONG.
WHAT THEY WERE DOING,
WAS TOTALLY WRONG.

HUMAN CELL TOWERS
TO SPREAD THE WORD.
THEY CLAIM THEY HAD
TO THIN THE HERD.

VACCINATIONS,
WAS THEIR TOOL OF CHOICE.
THOSE WHO SPOKE UP,
WOULD LOSE THEIR VOICE.

CRITICAL THINKERS,
WERE DISBARRED AND...

There was laughter through the solace as the world had come to grieve
Over arrogance and pestilence from all
But the rains fall down as innocence when rainbows start to weave
Telling all to keep on laughing through...

We are often burdened till our faith becomes undone
So torn between what's right and wrong and our last song has been sung
Days of endless stress, not knowing what to do
For we've run out of answers
Theirs...

Tell the truth and TESTIFY...with a heart full of hell and a head full of homocide
Backs against the wall by the lord of lies

Humanity-
Some say this, some say that, they analyze,
they predict, they slander, they lie
When reality sets, with the dawn,
what remains are the bones of thought that die
Is this all but entertainment for Destiny,
seed for the wealth...
