Long Probity Poems

Ask your friend, neighbour or even a stranger newly-met
Have they ever been damaged by a ‘trust’ ….now turned ‘regret’?
Most men, if not all, have fashioned their character on personal experience
Yet these damned hypocrites are themselves...

I have enormous tracts of land and vast volumes of water, but cannot feed myself.
So I spend $1 billion to import rice and another $2 billion on milk.
I produce...

That Ancient Darkside of All Hallows’ Eve Past

As in the fabled medieval times of centuries in the deep past,
It’s time once again to celebrate the hidden ugly horror that
Seeks to infest and devour all human...

As in the fabled medieval times of centuries in the deep past,
It’s time once again to celebrate the hidden ugly horror that
Seeks to infest and devour all human souls in this new century.

I’d hang my head in shame
The day I stop querying the man in my mirror
Whose name I’d associate with blame
For daring to conceal the fear and tear

My conscience weeps as the man fails to keep
Promises...

Again the sun will rise and the moon will shine,
Again the night will shudder,again the night will whine.
Again the darkness will beseech, the sky will remorse for its stalemate,
Again her wail will lament in the...

Life is a litter of examples, and I must be true
My sister made it through school and I can too
The best example is my own flesh and blood
She was born in the struggle, she grew...

Gratitude attitude grow
Peacock attitude away throw
Though temptations line up in a row 

Pointless, heartless any soul you to hurt
Under no circumstances invective blurt
Because so doing grows you curt

Achieving trinkets, reaping limpets
As you blow trivial trumpets
Deriding,...

Can ‘Religious’ folk claim a connection with God
who refuse to condemn the cops’ stopping of those
(who refuse to obey), who retreat from police
at a walk (not a run), and get shot in the back
for this...

Oh! - Answered he, who is the sculptor of the forest's soul,
-	I've lived in the songs and myths,  in the hair
Of maidens who romanced me, and in my own nightmare.
There is an ellipsis right...

I gulp a flame of desire
At the sight of your ecclesiastical attire
Being proxy for a pacifier
That elicits a comfort for my quagmire

Your smile, your smile 
A sun in a darkened profile
A moon that illuminates the...

If downriver a conscience sliver should make me wonder
Why in the face of challenges I should blunder
Fearing to thrive into a hope giver, preferring to pull asunder

Pangs of conscience, veering away from sticking out my...

You’re not leaving out
the same way you came in
Although you are leaving out
like a little baby crawling
You’re not going down into the ground
with the same morals you were taught growing up
You’re going out the world...

JERLENE
Acrostic

Jerlene, lovely  and  beautiful young lady
Your tantalizing eyes enthralls a lonesome heart
Your smile captivates a feeble heart
Allures and fascinates a lonely life.

Every man is  found mesmerized 
By your God-given angelic beauty divine

The apostles of decadence claim that the divine spark demands lust, power and material goods.
 Why pay attention to these puppets enlightened by the dogmatic obscurantism of the West?
 Our heavenly portion seeks elevation and...

Plank & axle
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Two lad's halted child
And mature men bolted out
One chose the plank
The other the axle
And laboured hard
The slog they had to do
For a commission
They sweated all the year's
And ripened old.
They fathered two a...

Curtain Time
           by Odin Roark


The warnings
The preparation
The moment

Such expectancy
Be it plebeian
Or royal instinct
Openings' glitter
Brings incessant challenges
Making hoary one's existence

So functions the undertow
The inward monitor
Yours
Mine
Those backstage
Probity...

Objective criticism with conscientious rigor your tour de force
Educate yourself on each antiquated style and archaic source
Train your enterprising eyes, every truism endorse and apt allegory reinforce
