Prosecuted Poems | Examples

Pale Porcelain

Clad in bright white sapphire
Millions crawl, the exhausted lay to admire
Within its swelling eye thousands desire
At the back I lie, waiting to expire
Scratching the walls without respire
I danced into crossfire
With a soul which yearns to retire
Lips littered with satire
A heart prosecuted to hellfire
Still, my porcelain surface shone as if a luminaire 
Slowly the winds fill me with tire
Yet for the last time, my body rose high of inspire 
Amidst the silent woods, my mind's a wildfire
All that remains, a mind left in quagmire

Premium Member Limited Freedom Of Expression

Freedom is somewhat limited
In a so-called democratic society
At times, people cannot truly tell it like it is
People cannot vote freely
Without some restrictions or some stupidities
In order to weaken the disadvantaged
Even though the US first amendment guarantees
Freedom of speech, freedom of expression
To assemble peacefully, freedom of religion
Freedom is not what it is
It is not how it is articulated in the glossary
Freedom is relative, please
Do not say fire vociferously
Or yell gun in the theater
At church or in the street corner
You will be prosecuted
Freedom is not what it should be
It is not what the US Constitution intended
It to be
Freedom is somewhat controlled and limited.

Premium Member Irene Chain will go, to court again'

Decades a midwife a definer of rights written so patients
And authoritys both knew their plights.' Un-jabbed 2020 up
Till today, yet prosecuted by N Z jacinda aderns machine which stated
She had to pay? They tried to bully and really every sick trick.' Even forgery of  her signature, i think they were a bit thick? Well its all turned turtle, and they're panicking now..
The genocidal mantra.' The outright lies and deceit show
I advise a trip to you-tube where if you enter her name.?
Under New Zealand midwife, it will truly enlighten your brain.'

Premium Member To Die With Peace

To Die With Peace
The only way I can die with peace
Is knowing I helped heal the planet
I helped people understand we are all we have 
No supernatural being to save our Earth
Our survival depends on knowing that
To reassure our children With love and fortitude
An environmental and species-friendly
Future will happen 
And
Those who attempt to prevent
A healthy and vibrant future
Will be known denounced
And prosecuted 
For sins against humanity.

Love Diagnosis

LOVE DIAGNOSIS
She said, “911, what’s your emergency?”
I said, “My heart… it’s acting strange.”
She replied, “In what way? Fast? Uneven?”
I said, “It flutters like it’s lost its rhythm.”

“Try some water. Take a breath,” she said.
But my voice cracked, “There’s more…
It’s like butterflies are throwing a riot in my gut.”
She chuckled gently, “Ma’am… is this life-threatening?”

“I don’t know,” I said. “I feel fine but not really.
It’s like I’m glowing and drowning at the same time.”
“This doesn’t sound like a medical crisis.”
“But what if feelings can be emergencies too?”

I asked, “Is it normal to think of someone this much?
To have their voice echo in my silence?”
She asked, “Are they aware they’ve moved in?”
I sighed, “They’re innocent but guilty in my mind.”
“Shall I connect you to the courtroom instead?”

“Is that where heartbreak is prosecuted?” I asked.
She laughed, “Only if you file charges.”
“Then what should I do with all this emotion?”
“Feel it,” she said. “This is love’s symptom.”

“Oh…” I paused. “So I’m… in love?”
“Yes, and that’s the diagnosis,” she said.
“A beautiful affliction 
The kind you don’t cure, just carry.”


Question, Lord

Lord, you made everything
You made me Black
and put me on this earth
You made me a descendent of Adam
Why am I so prosecuted in this place

Satan is not black

Premium Member All Is Love

Feeling by life prosecuted 
'Cause our aura is polluted
Time's now we gently put on pause
Egoic thoughts to soul unsuited

Where we choose to dwell is life's cause
Love determines all divine laws
Reclaim now bliss that throbs within
Behold how touch of God's hand awes

Simple is the way to begin 
Cave of heart's open, go therein
Let love distil every desire
Ignite innocence, exhume sin

Entwined with love, we never tire
Save God, there's nothing we aspire
Ceasing to resist, we're a mist
Vibrant, aglow, our soul's afire

Boundaries

I construct them
And lay them everywhere
As man builds a fence
To prevent intruders
To guard his property
So I also do with my heart.

It's a necessary evil
All in the name of protection
We must be ready
We must be prepared
Like a watchman at dawn
To diligently protect
That which we value most

Some do not respect our boundaries
Do they not see them
Do they have need to enter so desperately
That they ignore the warning
Private property! Trespassers will be prosecuted.

Is there any leniency
Any exceptions to who can enter in
Is anyone granted access
Or must they forcibly try to enter
There is more than one way to be raped.

So we struggle
In the blindspot
To push back those who seek to enter
Unbeknownst to us
I lay boundaries
I am not sure as to whether
It's to keep you out or let you in.

Premium Member Not Patriots--Amoeba Types

The insurrectionists of January 6 are NOT patriots!
They are criminals of the lowest amoeba-types
Most patriots were at work improving the G.N.P.
Not carousing and malingering to air their gripes.

Can you imagine an American president colluding,
Encouraging rabble-rousers to storm the Capitol,
Giving tacit approval to hanging his vice-president?
In my opinion, his behavior was clearly lunatical!

And, he is still clamoring for the nation’s attention
Bloviating far and wide, spouting despicable lies,
I’m flabbergasted that so many are on his team
Celebrating and cheering on our nation’s demise.

A long-time presidential aficionado, I hasten to say,
That Donald Trump’s picture among our presidents
Is utterly disgraceful, a travesty of the worst kind,
He should be prosecuted to law's fullest extents.

When I Was Homeless In Clearwater

For example I am, you are, I nearly was.
Neatly are all external sockets.
Electric power has before science come.
Taken together it forms.
Many of U.S.are to mentally ill,
to go on.

There are not many souls,
transparent people.
And there are to few again many.
Humanely is it poetry to altruistic none gain.
Universal declarations,
far placed most can now see.
Because of the fear,
is that circle of friends out of reach.

I have for a while been prosecuted for it.
To be sent to prison for the lack,
of a place to live sounds logical to me.

Premium Member Driving Through Salem

Witches motto is to do no harm to plants or animals
Ill understood they continue to positively garden and uplift
They were unfairly persecuted and prosecuted, murdered even
Christians bullied them, jealousy and fear determined their fate
Hysterical preteen accused the prettiest, eliminating competition
Every beautiful girl was in danger during this frenzied period of history
Still feel enraged and acute sadness when I drive through Salem.

Premium Member A Consummate Kleptomaniac

This is absolutely out of this universe
That a consummate kleptomaniac thinks
That he has the right to steal any ranks
Any rings, any votes, anybody in the hearse
This is scurrilously crazy to try steal
To commit murder on 5th. Ave. at midday
What kind of world is that? Doomsday
Must be around the corner, at the heal
Of the hills. A consummate kleptomaniac
Thinks that he can get away with murder
Any year, any month, any day, and any hour
Doesn't he think that God is constantly watching?
God is ubiquitous like the loitering air in the streets
God is listening carefully and writing the minutes
There's a time for the geese, a time for anything
There's a time for the pathological liar to get caught
Like a greedy whale, to be prosecuted after being cut
Profoundly by the sharp Shrapnel shell under the fence
A consummate kleptomaniac is bad news. His defense
Is no longer appropriate or strong. He is going under
Because nobody is above the law. Nobody can alter
God's final gavel. God is the sole Supreme at the altar.

Premium Member Violence of Mind

Once a nation
Supremely white as driven snow,
Singularly Christian, white and male,
Purely untarnished, and aglow,
Grandeur unparalleled in fairytale.

Hence a grievance
Punitively bold as bloody hellfire, 
Potently prosecuted in seats of power,
Oppressively waged against objects of ire,
Prisms of nonwhites seeking justice in the hour. 

Now a leader
Colossally void as sterilized weaponry,
Glibly sanctions white phobia and rage,
Lethally enflames this proto-fascist fancy,
As corporations provide aid to the rampage.

Thus a faction
Devoutly for leader, they stand down,
Steadfastly ready for the order to kill,
All woke-ish elitists, and enemies black and brown,
That white men reclaim their rightful place at the till.   

Violence of mind
Shocks no one in America,
Where thugs are part of romantic lore.
With our ascendant authoritarian replica,
Are we ready for what washes ashore?

Shrine of Immunity

Our immune system fights viruses and all foreign bodies. 
antibodies that protect the lymphatic office.
Immunological memory is the ability to recognize,
previously initiated the anti device.
Healthy microbes essential from cradle to grave,
mothers fungus touch and milk to survive.
The use of antibiotics killing those microbes,
sterile environment for the body that disrobes.
Smell, taste and recognition of individuality,
crucial role in and out of body decomposing reality.
Sanitizing will weaken the immune system procured,
called the hygienic hypothesis for rest assured.
Caught in legal procedure enforced to act,
given your body from shop to shop some poison in fact.
The psychological terror not to mention,
being prosecuted in scientific polluted detention.
Riding the donkey of hope as expensive load,
endurance of the profiteers that you owed.
