Long Disparagement Poems

AND MANY THOUGHT WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE

I found a way to gracefully depart
for I could not respond to her request.
I held my breath and waited for my heart
to once again start beating in my chest.
And as I coaxed my senses to...

I'm sorry to have to tell you,
but we're laying you off,
effective immediately.
But, please don't feel too badly about this.
It's nothing personal.

It feels personal,
maybe because I'm the person
you're downsizing without.

But it's not personal;
it's just a budget...

Darling,
I should like to do something more helpful
about this continuing feminization,
marginalization,
disparagement of full integrative value
for cooperatively-owned and managed
ecopolitical corporations,
incorporations
bio- and eco-systems.

Good idea, love.
How do you think,
or feel,
or whatever you intuitively do,
this competitive infestation
of patriarchal dominance
began?

I...

Top shelf cologne exhibits sensual tail of peacock
Entrances my senses at our eleven a.m embrace
Eyes shut, my erratic stamina borrows comfort 
Curled into leather front seat, chest inhales safe


Our waterfall guffaws cascade in establishments of...

Bewailed an ostrich tirelessly:
Two wings I have but still can’t fly.
Daily I stare dumbly at the sky,
asking What’s it doing there and Why?

Even the lion, king of beasts,
growls bitterly that it was born
a lion and...

This is seventeen. 

Seventeen is loosely in the beginning of my life. Seventeen is realizing you’ve got a whole lot of life left in front of you. It is accepting that life is a page...

Trusted producer of crimson cheeks
That could last for weeks:
Prime source of the running temperature 
Of seekers of a different picture,
The hammering heart beats few people bear 
When nothing is going to happen till next year.

Born into light and innocence, possessing a heart with an endless capacity to love, my appetite for life was abundant.  

Anchored in purity and virtuousness, hopes and dreams blossomed in my young mind lending...

Sangmi,
You've succeeded in breaking my heart,
but you can't break my pen.
I'm writing..
Can you stop me?

You were
playing like a child,
twinkling like a pearl
and smiling like a dream
when I suddenly loved you
and you suddenly hated me!

While commuting...

that their usual neglection towards me
appeared today,

with their corpses,
they came here

my sympathy was always with them
as I kept reminding them of my countenance through ‘The Book’

I couldn’t talk to them ever,
but my inner angels will...

Afflicted after political taunts, hateful remarks and questioned immorality.
 
Notions of lies and corruption flooded the Internet; friends clashed.
A nation enraged staked her voice at the polls; results shocked some.
Trouble in the streets: looting, killing,...

George had under him five cooks
of various characters and looks
with great experience of many a year
in numerous countries both far and near,
all culinary experts of great art,
who were always ready to provide
any dish the customer...

When men see through 
They also want to go through 

Lack of self control 
Leads to a number of tears

'Tis rape when a father breaks the wall
Of his adolescence daughter
And says it is tradition

The teen’s face beamed with pride in his new car,
But Bestie exploded in jealous rage.
His reluctant congrats, a lame sidebar;

On Friday she failed the entrance exam,
Going to college, now...

He looked above on a clear blue sky 
without his shackles, after all those years. 
Even a heartless could understand 
why those tears flowed from his eyes. 

He was a convict of trial by disparagement....

Need I keep watching your pretences:
You're good only at using tenses!
And I need not mind your courtesies:
Put you I have in parenthesis,
Catholic your inconsistencies,
On this could write a Master's Thesis.

Now, it's certain you're no monument,
Though...
