Publicans Poems | Examples


Premium Member A King Story Page One

And it came to pass as Jesus sat  at meat in the house
                                Behold yes I believe
        many publicans and sinners came and sat down
with him and his disciples and when the Pharisees saw it they said unto his 
                                            disciples.
    Why does your Master continue to eat with publicans and sinners
                                             But
            when Jesus heard that he said unto them
                 they that be whole need, not a physician
                   But they that  are sick   
              But go learn continually what this mean!

Matthew9-13

Lip Bent Overly Yours


Most dastardly
Executive Majesty,
we serve at your pique pleasure
obsequiously so 

Yea, Darth Lord,
we be the surreptitious, servile ones:
Leper skin publicans, publicly hiss reviled

Tonsil rear ends torqued low 
is our mealy-mouth status quo

We’re liquored up lap dogs

Always lip bent overly yours

Tongue rolls of surfeit flattery,
buttery tones of praise gluttony piled on

Nay, Imperial Vader,
we echo only your strident, bellyaching growls
from our sphincter pie holes

Boast bastardly
King El Presidente,
and we cower at your cheek displeasure
ingratiatingly so

Our speech undignified, 
flesh market wench pride
was thirty silver pieces sold 
minus six-feet degrees below

Aye, Commander-in-Chief Bellow Nero ...
Imp patient Sanballast ground zero,
your every atomic jinn wish gets grovel granted

We bow mice-men be the fawn minion pagan pawn devotees,
submissively submitting to such spittle humiliation willingly 

Ever always lip bent overly yours

20-20 Optical Illusion


20 nods and 20 winks,
it’s all smoke-and-mirrors
me lazy bones think

Swampy eye creatures
say dey got a thousand-dollar discount 
sofa solution
And dey gon put me 
on a ten-dollar monthly lay-away plan

This 20/20 optical illusion
be straight up sewer smell talking
Old-timey lip confusion,
king crab style slug moon-walking

Dem gator jaw creatures
say dey gon make jobs be penny plenty
Telling dat to a son of a slave,
is bat-crazy 
spit 
flying out of a man-hole cave
Giving work to somebody in chains,
sho’ do a lot of overhead save

This 20/20 optical illusion,
it got a downright awful toilet smell
Dem publicans ... croc smiling,
all gon be flushed up da river to jail

Every 20/20   lying double vision,
sticky fingers and scaly toes   ...   swampy sin puppet
twins be flushed down da pit to hell

Lottery Tool


You got get-rich-quick dreams
dancing in your pillow head
Put a dollar or ten into the Lepercaun winners pot,
and magically enlarge
the government coffers a whole lot
That’s right ... exactly,
fatten the pockets of those swamp gator publicans
you love to hate
But one lucky lottery tool
is gonna get 
an elevated, graduated tax rate
One out of ten million,
those odds don’t ghetto calculate too great
Half a billionth of a decimal from zero
You gotta dig so deep
with the open sesame,
lightning’s-gon-strike-me dull blade
to find the buried treasure
of Sierra Madre
Fantasy Island invasion
by another fugazi AU 
gambling-without-a-parachute fool
So many rigged cash worms 
on the hook of a lottery tool
Go get your carny, free-money giveaway fisherman soak,
as you watch the numbered balls tumble and turn
Place another dollar or ten on the next spin,
those empty lint pockets seem to never ever learn
Sharp loser rebuke given to a dull lottery tool ...
instant gratification deflation — 
Leaves you with a million ways to cry the blues

Prayer of the Modern Day Pharisee

Sinners, Publicans – Pharisees, Scribes
Unto neither of these could I ever subscribe

For I read of both groups in the scriptures each day,
And both make me feel to exclaim when I pray,

“God, I thank thee, that I’m not as other men are,
Like those sinners and publicans - God keep me far

From their damnable words and their damnable deeds,
And more so than this – Oh God, keep me free

From those gosh awful Pharisees - they above all
Are the worst kind of folks who are destined to fall.

But rather God keep apart from these men
And I promise that things will go on as they’ve been

Fasting two times a week, paying tithes of my gain
Doing all that I do, but I need not explain

For Thou knowest all this, and the time has come when
I must wrap this prayer up, and close with amen”

No, I’ll never be like anyone from those tribes
Not like Sinners and Publicans, Pharisees, Scribes

For I’m nothing like they. No, my time is well spent
Me, a just soul who has no need to repent
