Take Back Reclaim Offense Please For Everyones Sake
Personally above and beyond all
I hate and despise in this world
Is misappropriation of certain
What used to be meaningful words
Critically descriptive important essential
That have been devalued demeaned
To such a lesser degree they bare no relation
To the initial gravitas they instilled
Like when I hear the throw away term
Racism is used currently bounded about today
With total and

No Offense But
No offense, she said, but I want you to stay as you are.
I stopped dead in my tracks halfway to my car.
What do you mean? I asked with a quiver in my voice.
She is kind of a mean girl, my co-worker Joyce.
You are totally strange, she said, weird, I am sure you knew.
As a matter

No offense, one kid says.
But school lunch’s meat tastes like raccoon droppings.
Why would that be offensive? I wonder.

Life's Offense and the Muses As Escape
I sit with pen in hand this downcast morn;
and search the Muses for more enraptured songs;
songs of great cheer, of memories heartworn,
to banish the spirits of inflicted wrongs;
before, no songs could quell the ruthless onslaughts
of life; so abject, I was

Compose
To you my love I do propose
Cursory couplets to compose.
What sort of short verse would you hear
In short iambic rhyme my dear:
Coupled couplets in a couplet?
Coupled cutlets in a couplet?
Or perhaps a brace of bears bare?
Perhaps a pair of pears to pare?
Surely none, you have too much sense
As such poetry gives offense.

No Offense
Is that what you think?
Is that what you know?
Stories you've heard, time passed and consoled.
Moments ended in a blink of an eye,
All Hell breaks loose hoping you'll die.
A blurry silence,
But an extremely loud pain,
Driving you crazy,
Leaving a stain.
All things good, gracious and true,
Falling before you, bleeding you through.
I raise my hands up to Heaven above,
Fists

Wealthy Defense: Healthy Offense
Fear-based legislation,
more against our diverse pathologies
than for our multiculturing health relationships,
The attempt to govern negative emotions,
outcomes of poor communication,
is always
and everywhere
a corrupt effort,
a suboptimizingly ineffective
unhealthy
impoverishing
unenlightened political
and disempowering economic
uncooperative idea.
The opposite may also be true power
and beautifully enlightening;
That love
and gratitude,
positive attitude rooted legislation
is always fertile
and everywhere regenerative,
a restorative justice
and peaceful experience,
idea,
communication,
choice,
decision,
positive electrical election
for a healthier wealth

Egoist
One who is full
of himself,
as fragile as crystal ball
on a shelf,
who sulks in resentful
vain defense
against the slightest
imagined offense,
and shines or dims
or shatters
depending on the tricks
of flatterers.

No Offense But You Stink
Someone smells like smoke. I can barely stand to sit here.
Clenching my teeth, I have a headache, everywhere near.
A friendly smoker has sat next to me, oh, dear.
I jump up, because her smell is killing me, so clear.
I am an asthmatic, and I cannot breathe next to a smoker, I think.
In the nicest

I plan my actions carefully
A good impression is the key
I’d rather die than have the people
Think not nice of me
I’ll smile when it’s required
I’ll nod no matter what
Yes, even when I don’t agree
I’ll keep them tight and shut
Why should I be authentic?
It is not worth the fuss
Excuse me therefore if at times
You’re thrown under

A Woman Can Take Like a Offense At the End
A woman can take like a offense at the end,

If you see in her a woman, not a friend.
If you see in her a friend, and not a woman.

There once was a fat lady named Hortense
who claimed she could sing but this was nonsense.
She would make our ears ring
when she tried hard to sing
for her hitting high C was an offense.
