Long Jaundiced eye Poems

Wondering, pondering, contemplating
The moments when I’ve felt different
Because of my ideas, my dreams, my feelings
The way I think and the way I believe
Struggling to be who I am inside my heart
Instead of someone who is...

When I am only an almanac of belonging
left behind
I will leave a son who will move on
allowing me time to pick his pockets
of the sins of his father.

There will be grandchildren
tucked away in kindergartens,
my stick...

Let me not play tuneless in today's time,
Some purists sure get praised as Gandhian,
Yet, crass nevertheless is no more crime,
Old values are hailed may be in heaven.

Whilst weighing values for the weathered time,
Let's mull on...

The world was going to end in nineteen fifty-nine,
according to my grandma. I know; she told me so.
Not because of Russia and its threats of nuclear war,
but because Italians had moved into the house next...

it is different out there, in that far away land,
it is different out there, it is different!
people out there have darkened skin,
dress in animal hides, eat raw meat!
they beat their cymbals or blow a horn,

My Christian friends, in many ways,
    are what they should be.
They pray, participate in church,
    spend time on their knees,
support the church and mission fields,

Feeling hurt owing to belied expectation
The earth entity floundered hither and thither
Spiralling gloom causing consciousness contraction
The wound cut deep since he relied upon his transgressor

Pain amplified by cyclic thoughts plunged him into despair
For healing he...

It's not like children wearing color glasses,
Or like the spectacles protecting our eyes;
Jaundiced eyes are Like carnivorous glances,
Everything seems like preys in many a guise.

Isn't every human a true image of God?
Am I to reduce...

I saw those men in solemn chain trooping from the line
hand on shoulder, link to link their bandaged eyes gas blind.
The image burned upon my soul, and tied me to their chain
A scene imbued with...

Theologians all euthanize miracle’s glow,
Like a child might dehydrate and pin butterflies,
Jaundiced eye longs to render them all party tricks,
Puts the best under glass just to marginalize!

Shouldn’t miracle God sends then serve greater cause
Might this...

The jaundiced eye is yellow -
but not the yellow of sunny cheerfulness or optimism
Rather – the yellow of an alcoholic’s eyes
when after years of feeding his destructive habit,
he is stricken ill and is dying.
Like the...

My Latest Current Events Poetry

Trump like Pinocchio lied and nose did protrude,
And many people it appeared he would delude;
Even we knew,
Scheme up brew;
With jaundiced eye witnesses and rivals viewed.

We wonder who next by Trump would...

jaundiced spiritual heart and mind-


"Bitter am I
Resentful of your lit voice thoughts
Cynical “sigh” is this all you got
My rage is my tumors, enraged is my stupor
Soured my lips poison distorted
As forth in my ignorant I...

Jaundiced Eyes

Jaundiced eyes covet past tense masquerades
In crypts where yellowed brittleness recall bitterness
Where glassy-eyed failures suck truth dry - 
Vampires with addictions
Distorting graveyards at the altar
Of introspection
Like green-eyed monsters
Grasping
At monetary dust of renunciation -
As thirty...

With jaundiced eye* affected by my heart
I do pray for enlightened vision glow
radiating truth of Scriptures’ rampart
toward perspective against falsehood blow.

Confessing personal biases’ blight
with jaundiced eye affected by my heart
I seek God’s pardon from arrogance-delight

With jaundiced eye I look at the politician’s vow
To make our world a better place in four years,
Cure all our ills, and provide calm for our fears,
And I say to myself, skeptically, exactly “How?”

I met a man on the road today
otherworldly, gamin, fey.
A gimlet look in his jaundiced eye,
he held my gaze and I questioned why
he wandered here, 
a mendicant man of pleasant demeanour, 
when, from his coat,...

New leaves are popping out on the maple trees,
Small animals are stirring around once more
The scent of spring flowers floats on the breeze.

Shame has no fancy stroking
I write this tale with a bleeding pen and choking heart
For the character is a braggadocio person
A villain who wore his blinders like flamboyant apparel
Wouldn’t see the truth
It hurt his jaundiced...

Though I may struggle day to day
With those who strive to live
I too must learn a better way
To teach my heart to give

To live my life beyond myself
With love and empathy
To push my cares beyond...

As the paradigm of evolution down the line 
formulates a set of human values of intent,
the survival instinct, an axiomatic need, 
gets woven in the fabric of consciousness. 

The seeds of empathy embedded in the...

Judging by outer appearance
That too with mind interference
Game of desire and aversion
Instinctive ego dalliance

Jaundiced eye birthing delusion
Enmeshes soul in confusion 
Here to learn but cannot discern
Path to God realisation 

Loving heart soft but ego stern
Fears...

Glaucoma, Cataracts, the dreaded sty,
Seeing color in people is like a jaundiced eye.
Racism, Bigotry, Judging others critically- 
Aversion to diversity and being equals cynically-
Uppity eyes who like to pretend 
They don't judge others for their...
