Long Castigate Poems

Romans 13:1 - “The authorities that exist have been established by God”… 

Though that seems more of a facade, long shot and a fraud from a world long gone
Since sin no longer seems fiction in...

Who are they, Them?

Or the ones some would like to blame or castigate
which group, all of whom, of which ones individually, and why exactly?

The labels they place, the irrational discreet silhouettes in the alley darkest...

Inadequate sleep ex(spells) volatile mental state

Existential crisis ensued,
hence the following
I attempt to relate
forewarning the missus,
who heard bellicose me loud and clear
excoriate, deprecate, communicate
callously, blisteringly, angrily... expostulate
refrain awakening this sleeping spouse
yours truly unapologetically will berate

forgetting self...

I Cannot Weight To Hmm...
Be Pressed By A Dumbbell

Two fifteen pound

Helplessness immobilizes yours truly,
I genuinely agitate
permanently lasting indelible impact deux
biological offspring unfairly bore brunt,
compliantly, complicity, and complimentary
I avidly, doggedly, instinctively helped create

subsequently, unintentionally, or willingly
unpleasantly affected as adults facilitate
learned behaviors to navigate
their respective independent lives

Brothers Levi, Jordan, Matthews, Joe and Jedden, 
You were sheer shocked as did Sister Hussein
That even this day we can still adjure, argue, advocate,
And advance active activism for the rule of law stolen,
As did Dr...

me, you and all of us, are sparks of His brightness,
a brief moment for him- but for us an age,
a breath for Him, an eternity for us!

Though Time is something we've devised,
Time's hold on us can't be revised.
While Time has time to spend at will,
We question Time when we distill
It into time spent ill or well.
It's just perception - time will...

I tickled funny bones of five Souper men
So I gave thought to trying it once again
In the order they replied
My sarcasm was applied
As I gently heckled them with ink and pen

First, Tom Cunningham, who "liked...

Why I Love Writing Poetry?

Did I mean why I love writing poems?
Nevertheless, I love writing poems or poetry:
To simply have fun, make others happy,
Inspire and defend others; to fan the flames
Of fairness, and to seek...

It's about how many cars I didn't hit
How many tickets I didn't get

The pale blue sky
Sweet things that make me cry

Feeling great
Not filled with hate

My man
And all of our plans

Our little paradise in the woods

Digging the silence of the night...
Just for a heap of words...
Toiling in the middle of the night...
Not expecting any lavish rewards...!

Oh my ignoble mind
why must you be so
rueful-this sorrowful pity
abject-I am not contemptible
brooding-unkind contemplations.

Oh my heinous conscience
dare not
mock me-oh the cruelty
taunt me-cuts so deep
bleed me-I flow dying.

Oh my callous intellect
why must you yet
scorn me-is praise...

It’s All About Mercy
By: Tom Wright
3/10/2006

God didn’t give us lives
Filled only with the scent of wildflowers.
But all too often, we face
Dandelions too, that we must eradicate.

We revel in those days
Of magnificent warmth and showers.
Becoming “purse-proud”,
Giving...

Many more are sick and sore...

The weeping pen

He invested his heart into his audacious pen
Withdrew in recess to spy from his den
Perceive how this organ could,once you release
Itself inject,usher mutiny in sensual ease.

Bedevil stark reality,delves into details 
Castigate stereotypes,ensnares his...

On those flaming August nights 
when breezes lash around, as steam 
instantly ruffles outside the window,
her breath pulses in their dwelling,
roasted by the uproar of such voice 
draining all thoughts beyond reason...

Hushed tones grow inert;...

Had it been for the rolling ball
Elegantly you would slot with no shortfall
Artistically you play with hearts
Reaping a bumper to fill your huts
Teaming up for other minds; hurts.

Playing for thy lust wound to stitch,
Isolate everlasting...

Peace and war

Why should the world like a magdalene 
Cry over the war heinous  atrocities 
Abide reaping scores of casualties like sardines 
Castigate fate and disregard unbridled hostilities

Why should the world license instead
