Proxies Poems | Examples


Premium MemberIt's Time


   It’s time to stop pussyfootin’ around
     time to bite the bullet and bear down

   Time to forget Gaza, Hamas and Hezbollah
     time to go after the ‘big fella’ 

   It’s time to take down Iran
     the only way Israel’s war will be won

   Time to do so by whatever means necessary
     For Iran is your number one adversary

   Forty-five years she’s funded proxies’ terror
     To let her be has been a huge error  

   So, go on the attack, Israel. Quick, take her out 
     There’s no longer one grain of doubt
       Trump will be sitting this out 
   
   Or is Israel just hot air ~ Netanyahu, all talk

Premium MemberHer Noble Heart

     lub-dub soft her noble heart
        ‘in absentia,’ torn apart

     proxies sent to pregnant women
        from ‘present moments’ indeed did start

Premium MemberThanks for the Past Couple of Years

    Here’s an extra-large thank you to Israel and Ukraine
       who have fought the West’s wars for them
    holding Iran and its proxies, and Putin’s Russia at bay

    Imagine if Putin was now attacking the Baltics or Poland
       or if Jerusalem and Israel, Iran had overrun

    Of course, then the West could stop obsessing about gender and race
       as criminal regimes spat missiles and drones in her soft, fleshy face

Premium MemberThe Anointed One

Anointed by God to rule the land
Yet brags where he places his molesting hand
Let us love one another, all children of God
Yet puts proxies before a firing squad
The Lord he praised and the Bible he thumped
Yet adherents of the Word neither phased nor stumped
Turn to God when forgiveness you seek
Yet replies NO, never shall I be unmanly/meek
In the eyes of God, we are all alike
Yet the misbegotten can all take a hike
Obey my command and I’ll offer benevolence
As I give E pluribus unum a whole new relevance
God hath anointed His faithful avatar for you
Yet now go and do as I say, not as I do

Give and Take

TO A CHRISTIAN SOCIALIST

When Jesus urged us to donate
To poor strangers or brothers
Did he endorse and give mandate
To proxies in abyssal State  *
To signal virtue on a plate
But take it first from others?

If you with heart that bleeds desire
To heal and succour those in pain
Will God not give your spirit fire
Enable you with strength and main
To help in their enhancement
Yet not break the eighth commandment

Why do you choose to denigrate
Yourself, your sister, brother
Deny as cause, and delegate
To those with power to smother
Your self determined strength to be
True source of welfare given free

* ‘abyssal’ - deep as in an abyss

An Admission of Guilt

Glinting of the nickel
Flip it, place it on the table
Relegate to gravity
That of fate- of destiny
In the end 
It's a choice
To accept 
Or avoid
After the flip,
Do you obey it
Pull back the hammer 
To strike the steel with flint
It's still a choice
Drop hands from wheel, place them by your side
Watch the blurring treeline, shifting away my eyes
I've certainly lied
Proxies for good faith
I've blurred those lines
It's still a choice

Said the Founding Fathers Voices From the Graves

Said their Voices from the Graves.

Listen!

As death amplifies the frequency of remembrance

you delve into your faith,

your mind searches for God

and answers.

Unify your sincerity,

and let your questions be herd.

Together!

yours are the voices that will rise

and resonate,

the justice that will adhere,

the love that will mend,

and the prayers that will bring change..

Surely!

God is aware

and you are His proxies.

Some History

Proxies shall forever 
Urge tender embrace 
Of unified skin swatch
Dark-dripping crimson
Draped on commoners

Premium MemberChild

Before I even watched your birth,
I had already failed you first.

Collecting bones in closets damned.
To proxies labor done withstand.

Mistakes go down with Jacks and cokes.
A childhood ends in perished hopes.

The years apart we will to stand.
Regret to always catch the man.

My sorrow carving name in stone,
A Father never dies alone.

Cursed Will

a year of condensing myself into words
to make this manageable
hidden behind several proxies
in a twisted hope that i still touch you
all in vain
don't know how to tell myself
i'll never hold you again

hanging by a thread from the comfort that's been unraveled
you give me nothing
and there's not a road i haven't traveled
hoping to find my passenger
how could my heart have been so wrong
driving all of me to still care for you
the only thing that makes sense 
is the one thing i could never do 
let go
