Negativism Poems | Examples

Premium MemberJesus And The Demons

As thorns exist with the rose, or redness subsists with blood
The evil that dwells in hearts has its traits in the physique.
Though humans try to nip all negativism in the bud,
Expressions of the powers of pessimism are unique.

They lived with humans who couldn't live with other humans.
Some took shelter in hills and mountains, and some lived in tombs.
To them, day-to-day life and duties seemed like illusions.
As though in unison with nature, they tore their costumes.

Jesus contained them all, as a sea could hold any drop.
His words and touch, as medicinal herbs, healed their ailments.
Peace, joy, and freedom in physique and psyche flowed nonstop.
All who witnessed his acts praised his divine accomplishments.

Demons, yet, in the form of Sadducees and Pharisees
Finding fault with him, they could find their souls, never at ease.

Each cloudy day
God leaves a bright spot on the horizon,
and it’s this bright spot that gives us hope.

But negativism
only hears the static of vile Satan’s voice,
and it makes that bright spot a slippery slope.

Alone

Alone in the dark, in the middle of the night 
A cautious heart, afraid of light 
The peeping eyes of negativism 
Tries to thwart its optimism

Delirious Negativism

diagnosis without conviction
evidence without logic, reticence...
conflicting? yes, negativists, they are....!

Notorious Nattering Nabobs of Negativism
(And Other Hopeless, Hysterical Hypochondriacs of History)

They pretend to love freedom but hate non-white votes
and poor's access to health care (both cost far too much
when supported by taxes where all pay debts owed.)
Wealth buys doctors' deferments when war gets announced
if dough's children might suffer (fake ailments vouchsafed
to excuse them from serving). Most hide wealth with glee
(for God loves that rich cheat!) No taxation is fair!
Just depraved think that wealth's butt's gang-raped by the rich?

Might a saint dream elites love to row their black boats?
Where does cripple complain Chris (1) 'discovered' his crutch?
Hmm! How likely is that? Who knows hole from commode?
Watch world slip off its rails as Christ's Love gets denounced,
brown kids stripped from their parents as mercy gets strafed,
our democracy burns, Trump lights farts from golf tee,
his card boasts he's ahead, but the game's truth or dare.
As each whore takes her bra off, pimps see who's the b*tch!

Premium MemberDown With Pessimism

Down with pessimism
  Drown not in negativism
Beware of escapism
  Steer clear of cynicism

Keep far from fanaticism
  It only invites antagonism
Too lonely is monasticism
  Too stifling, collectivism

Failure dogs perfectionism
  Emptiness mars materialism
Insularity deadens catechism
  Stoicism breeds fatalism...

True, this poem is full of criticism
  ~ But it ends on a note of optimism

Premium MemberLasting Love

It starts out and ends up with Love
   for a partner you think the world of
Yet the middle poses daily tests
   where the verdict of a marriage rests

To list all these tests would take a book
   So let's just take the briefest look
At qualities you'll need in spades
   To earn yourselves a passing grade

Acceptance I feel is number one
   It keeps a marriage healthy, fun
Use it when you learn that 'perfection'
   Is a goal wise couples shun

Next comes mutual respect, understanding
   Never accomplished by grandstanding
Always respect each other's space and privacy
   Know when hugs are needed, or a gentle "I see"

One last quality that's key is good cheer and optimism
   Loving greetings and goodbyes - never negativism
Encourage, inspire and support; lend a helping hand
   Cultivate all this and Love ~ even marriage can withstand

Premium MemberPlucking Poisons From My Mind

Pessimism, I loathe your gloomy effect
Parroting vanity’s vexation in my mind that I’m unprofitable…
God I thank; by His strength* is great achievement as I do my utmost.

Negativism, I vanquish your vehement accusations
Taunting me of my failures, falls, and frustrations… 
I praise the Lord for His compassion, pressing me on with optimism!

Skepticism, I conquer your attacking doubts
Robbing me of my sanity’s tranquility; torturing me mentally…
The omniscient Sovereign I trust as I settle myself serenely in His truth!

Criticism, I subdue your undermining, deceitful, hypocritical comments
Treating me as a loser in my service-commitment…
Propped by the Almighty’s power, I can be the best for His glory!

Evil thoughts, I pluck all your poisonous roots from my soul’s ground…
Thru the Scriptures’ exhortations, I can bloom and prosper
Triumphantly living for my Master, reaching others by His love!

*Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Be a Better You

A birdy once told me to 
B e brave and
C ourageous in my endeavors
D o not place blame on others
E ven when you don’t wish to 
F athom the responsibility of your crime
G oodness will always prevail and
H atred has no place
I n this world we reside in
J ealousy leaves you insecure and
K eeps you trapped in self-loathing
L ove yourself and keep
M otivated by all things
N eeding your contemplation and
O bservation to be a better you
P ractice what you preach and
Q uit at nothing
R ise above all negativism and
S urround yourself with 
T hose who will adore you
U nderstand that you are not perfect
V anity is a sin
W allow not in sorrow and leave no
E xcuses for your actions
Y earn to be a better you
Z ealous and joyful you can be

Brain Waves and Body Craves

Brain Waves and Body Craves

A magnetism
Either draws things together
Or spreads them apart.

Are slaves to brain waves;
What entire body craves;
Rich or poor or knaves.

Are necessary
For our functions to carry
On so we exist.

A negative sign
Indicates a disruption
To normal events.

After we inspect
Items are sure to detect
When not in balance.

Problems we can solve;
Find answers to each question,
So badly needed.

Space satellites should be able to
detect negative signs of activities,
images and brain waves. This is
based on when a high level of
negativism is being displayed.
Precise geodetic location of any
criminal activity, ISIS activity
and destroying tombstones
activity should be able to be
detected. All things consist 
either positive, negative or
neutral ions. If they are no
in proper alignment or out
of balance space satellites
should be able to detect this. 
Satellites then could become
built in security systems.

President Without a Precident

President Without A Precedent

Is a President
Without any precedent
Not with our consent

Listening to Rachel Maddow show
and this came to my mind. All 
of the negativism that is appearing
seems to have an obverse affect
creating a positive response.

Premium MemberNeed His Full Armour

If we are on the side of light,
the side of peace,
should we fight negativism?
Or ignore it and it's spread all around us,
becoming a barrier to peace.
THAT is the big question.
If there is wisdom, there should not be any war.
As long as a person is involved with warfare,
trying to defend or attack,
then his or her action is not sacred:
it is mundane, dualistic, a battle field situation.
Few people understand there are motivators other than on the surface.
Fewer still, should try to go to a place, without the full armour of God,
otherwise they will be ill equipped to understand, or have any chance of success.

Premium MemberNegativity

When you think negative,
         skepticism
  abounds with venom.
    Your delusion and
       contradiction
    feed the shame.

  When you let hostility
       overrule your
         individuality,
       you diverge into
a negative transparency,
      an illusion of life.

    Negativism flourishes,
              enriched
by the removal of the positive,
        the rejected image
        needed to redeem
          your humanity.

    Lack of the positive
   creates the isolation,
        the liability of
  the ‘cause and effect’
         triggered by
          negativity.
