Obviated Poems | Examples


Premium MemberThe vaporised self

Affirming in truth that we’re the universe,
the will of God and our own, both become one,
whence obviated is the need to rehearse,
with our soul aflame like the light of the sun.
All doings are done though us by God Himself
and music of the spheres plays on by itself,
wherein all we do is receive boons of grace,
with bliss mists holding us in tender embrace.

Premium MemberThe Forgiveness Trap

The sense of injury we feel,
owing to belied expectation,
by ego thought spirals amplified,
leads to our suffering and agitation.

Thus arises the real reason to forgive,
for us to heal our wounded heart.
So, is forgiveness selfish?
Let the debate start!

A flying wasp stings
or a stray dog bites us.
We feel pain but shrug it off,
accepting what is, making no fuss.

So, it’s not pain but the expectation,
we have from souls in human form,
that causes us mental anguish,
when denied embrace warm.

If we let go of expectation,
accepting each soul as they are,
then irrespective of their behaviour,
we’ll exit narrowness and cease to spar.

The need for us to forgive is obviated,
for we never ever feel injured at all,
humorously viewing play of life,
in monk mode, standing tall.

Acceptance, not forgiveness,
is then the attribute to ingrain,
looking at spirit and not outer form,
soaring at heights, free from ego stain.

Premium MemberEach Thing a Dark

Obviated by passion
I could as much apply each person 
Exfoliate my heart.
Such tormented fragments 
Seeking reconciliation therein, 
Where all refrains come subject to warm
And, as my oath prescribes, I first
Must “do no harm”
Each valiant doll’s cartoon 
A variance, but 
Only tall in child’s retrospect.
Murderous and hideous disguised, 
As in each man is set a plague of vacuums,
A cornerstone set within each soul
And from which each will build their life 
Of hesitated futures.
Frames of frosted flames;
Each sliver silvered by a touch of light,
Each prayer cast into foreboding night.
The surface of each die married to the eye 
Of what is cast,
The only knee we will bend 
Will end upon a concrete flooring
Without love; Then,
You will open your eyes again.
What is this, you will ask of each
And, to all, at last, it comes,
Grown with a vibrant moving,
We are stirred;
Having arrived as the prime
Ingredient of our life,
Tested and tasted,
By the fires of our making,
To step off 
And claim our freedom 
to be

Immortal Life

Life is to live
With eternal love
Love's to integrate
Not to discriminate
Role of human changes
But their love has no ranges
Abash them with kind
To punish the wrong and unkind
Invention is obviated
To live every mortal being uninterrupted

Atheist

I am acetylcholine
I am self-aware

I am norepinephrine 
I am energy

I am serotonin 
I am emotion

I am GABA
I am pain

I am dopamine 
I am pleasure

I am an ancestral soup
Of neurochemical harmony 

My steps are predetermined 

There are no choices
There is no truth

Faith is superfluous 
Hope is an illusion 
Love is obviated


I am

A Brief Histiry With Plato

A BRIEF HISTORY WITH PLATO

At the beginning Plato reigned
in a way they never quite explained
or understood; the mutual attraction
obviated thoughts of sexual satisfaction.

For so long being together sharing time
was enough, and in retrospect sublime;
beyond that moment when Nature took the course
it did, bodily coincidence foretold divorce
from the friendship they had shared
lovingly, eschewing known conventions, they cared
for each other, defiant in the face of rumoured lust.

Lust once only in the mind now turned to the dust
of disappointment, racing to the point of satisfaction,
stuttering to the depths of disaffection
from the moment they confirmed Society’s fashion,
eternal friendship sacrificed on the altar of instant passion.

The lifelong friendship abandoned in momentous heat,
an experience of life they can never, ever again repeat.

Free Cee a Bride a Groom With Room To Assume Weep For What Happens

A BRIDE A GROOM WITH ROOM TO ASSUME

All of us inhabit a restrictive rectangular room
Believing love is most assuredly what we all assume
Cubicles with questions as wallpaper and errors  are a rug
And that’s when an obviated obsession becomes a lethal drug

Love is this or love is that
Love too oft becomes old hat
You do that and I’ll do this
Yet born is boredom with every kiss

Missionary becomes a mission of mind
Oh heavens no, nay from behind
Marriage means missionary and not much more
As both partners are chafed by chagrin for such a mindless chore

Up and down, then in and out
What the hell is this all about?
In and out, then up and down
And that’s when the word “f*ck” becomes a noun

Two car garage and garbage midst trash
No seven year itch, it’s rather a rash
And there stands a bride with her white-tailed groom
Both believing love is just what they assume

Premium MemberWhat Kind of New World

Thanks to Henry Ford living six hundred years before,
here is a brave new world John the Savage would explore:

The Hatching and Conditioning Center is the source
where community and stability stay on course.
A team of scientists pre-determined each life’s path;
each fetus in an in-vitro amniotic bath.
They live as an Alpha at the highest echelon,
or a mindless manual-laboring Epsilon,
or as a Beta, Gamma, or Delta in between.
Their final decision was what remained to be seen.

Did anyone seem to care about their final fates,
while frolicking with numerous promiscuous mates?
No worries about depression or what brought them down; 
daily rations of Soma obviated their frown.

For John the Savage, it didn’t take him very long 
to determine his presence in this place was all wrong.
He would soon be inundated with consternation
regretting when he departed the reservation.

Based on the novel "Brave New World" by the late Aldous Huxley

My Dark World .

My  lass  has  forgotten  me
And,  does  not  visit   anymore.
Even  my  closest  cronies '  ve  obviated  me,
Just  'cos  I'm  not  normal anymore.

I  curl  in  my  couch , and, think   of our  friendship,
And  my  bosom  sketches her  lovely face.
I'm  unable to  forget  our  romantic  relationship,
And trickles  of  tears  moisten  my  face.

Now, only  my  dog  keeps  company  with  me,
And, my  paths  are  guided  by  the  white-cane.
Oh! I  urgently  need  Man's  company
But, my  wish  cannot  be  heard , by  my  friends  and  Jane.

I'm  marooned  in  a  deep  dark  pit:
An  endless dark  which  palpitates  my  heart.
I  wish  that  someone  would come  into  my  life and  resusitate  it,
Or  my  life  will  be  restless , until  I  depart

I'm  now  considered  as  a  discarded  coke-tin
And, my  mental  beauty  is  disregarded  by  these  men.
Useless  is  a  life  without  the  warmth  of  kith  and  kin,
And  my  jeramaid  life  cannot  be  fully  expressed, by  this  pen.

Clash

Vanquished supremacy unheeded aggression silenced by convenient 
misfortune, hate-inspired situations seen as insufficient served a purpose of 
deliberate lies. Decency has lost all morale a savory demeanor obviated with 
every stench of passing days, the ambitions of these April criminals shifted the 
balance of world power a famous reprisal stood in return the opinions of a few in 
times not earned. Outrage and out cries in tradition they turned a blind eye false 
expectations and absurd accusations used to impose honorable shock and 
awe. Improbable defeat the ultimate clash of concentrated might to orchestrate a 
final scenario the machine of revolution and the beating of the war drums has 
reached it's prime. What will emerge from this clash of enormous burden 
preemptive pain will be sought in vain a permanent conflict will prosper, 
extraordinary times are always flawed by design.
