Power Games Poems | Examples


Polarities

part of the human experience
     is that everything all the time is a choice

you choose what you want to express with your energy 
      - the good, the bad, the ugly-
the energetic mechanism of polarity             
allows this free will experience

     what do you choose?
giving to flow out and lift another 
or grabbing to draw energy from another 
        
     what do you choose? 
love with unconditional acceptance 
or lust with consuming greedy desire 
         
     what do you choose? 
surrendering and allowing the universe
or dominating and controlling outcomes 
     
     what do you choose? 
 embracing differences with understanding 
or conflict and power games 
       
     what do you choose? 
truth and transparency 
or lies and deceit 
       
      what do you choose?  
unity recognition of all is one and divine 
or separation mentality of division and lack 
         
when you subjugate ego 
           and make the higher soul choice     
you expand your light 

so what do you choose?

Accidental Faith

Born of parents who hoped in the cross
By faith a title 'Christian' am stamped 
But as years flew, the mind unsettled -
On a single faith but probed for truth.

Jesus wise a man of grit but meek
Who placed love before own death 
Even an atheist would love him still
For he spoke of justice & love alone

Religion lost its charm walled by men
Somany gods claimed its walls to hide
Many waged wars over the caged gods
Only the dead realise it's a hollow cage.

Wise men always are born to reclaim
Our lost values and spread only love
But world never ready to wisdom share 
But we go on holding our selfish flags.

We make religions world's worst snare
To catch souls by fear and promise
Making them immune to kill  or curse 
god as cause killed more than all wars.

Love is lost to bigoted self and pride
Justice is lost to myths and deities 
We refer these to fit our power games
As majority gathers muscle and rein.

Citizens, let's not be callous and rude
We are born in faiths we never chose 
There isn't a choice in mom's womb
Than nestle in it's warmth and grow.

A Certain Silence

When our empty world spins silently 
black rains will wash the sky 
and the sun will shine ferociously 
upon seas that have boiled dry.

Those hopes and dreams of yesterday 
float lost upon the breeze 
and carved out names on summer days 
will adorn the fallen trees. 

When the Gods outnumber worshippers 
whose battles have been done, 
It will be too late to ponder then 
just exactly what they'd won. 

No poets then to scar the page 
to tell of loves gone by, 
or write those final epitaphs 
from inkwells long run dry.

No more will ugly minds disgrace 
when the power games have ended, 
just Earth back to the Universe 
as nature had intended.


Postmodern Blues

Postmodern Blues

Our bare-footed ancestors
Diligently traversed the grassy pathways
On rustling vegetation air walked along
Sunshine and rain in turn tiptoed
To bestow canopy of reverence
They wished us to watch
Soil sprouting bliss
Hills rolling down lush carpet
Pristine waters meandering around
The way they watched them doing
Tomorrow was all that mattered!
As tomorrow stands uncertain
In power games now a days
We better trudged up the silky ladder
In cross wind
We even surrogated the womb of sky
For lustful pearls to be incubated
Dead waters whimper in lonely furrows
Strings of air have spun a smoky mess
From dangling veil
That technology came forward with
To fix the gap
Both the worlds stood to benefit
You bargained your life style for gold
We are blinded watching you relish
Your abundance
You look anything but cool, honey
Nevertheless few of the have-nots tempted 
To jump the fence
Only to sacrifice their reverie
Into sarcophagus fire
With their wives and children
As they failed to keep their hearts behind
You can hear the earth bloating
Like sacrificial goat
With throat at risk
Of pious killing
By future conquerors!

Explain the Rules

Explain the rules,
All you callous ghouls,
What are rules?
 Power games for you!
One way traffic, you see,
Why are you exploiting me?
Why can't you get someone better?
Write me your rules in a letter!
So, you callous ghouls,
You explain your rules,
Maybe there are no rules,
You made it all up to suit you,
You write down your rules!

A Tiny Tide He Was

Slipping from this flesh it's bones as blood
Nothing and nobody His child, within her world
Of glamour, glitter, super stars and fame; power games
Ancient gladiators their off spring these red carpet queens ivory table
Kings vote for me ? Phantasmagoria's, kaleidoscopic dreams Pluto's papacy
Pandora's pallbearers trip wire caskets bring it on, krimson kong: lightning strikes....
The blink of an eye; crumbling towers with your power black roses bloom in blue carousel pews.


Games Rearranged

Great majesterial reign!
Bled into the future on another
Heiroglyphic gain

Storylook nooks
Hoping to cook the books

Struck in awe by the fantastic flaw
As power games sizzle
Im left to nibble

Then recreated in freedom's everlasting draw
Back to neutral 
Back to glee
