Raise Poems

Premium MemberI Raise Again

They lowered the flag
And I showed my frustration
They try to blow my candle out
But I raise again holding my head high

I let my balloons fly also
Red, white, blue and black
The balloons all flying irrespective of colour
I raise again irrespective of my colour

RAISE YOUR VOICE

You can never know
who was watching
waiting for you
to say no.

To say no to injustice
to broken systems and lies.
To say no to drug abuse
to bullies in disguise.

Raise your voice
sound the alarm
just maybe your words
will shatter the harm.

Maybe your voice
will rewrite the story.
Maybe your voice
is their path to glory.

Premium MemberRAISE YOUR VOICE

May we never be afraid to raise our voice
when we see how injustice and inequity become blurred…
Loud enough so that not only our voice….
but those who do not have a voice…are heard.

Raise a Glass to Despair

I am drawn to you as an alcoholic to a glass of whiskey, 
I lift you to my lips taking a simple sip, 
I pour you from the bottle I’ve enclosed you within, 
Without fail,
Another day,
Another drink, 
Why can’t I stop pouring,
Pouring and drinking from your glass?,
I put you in the bottle, 
I expected you to stay there, 
My selfish ways inscribe within, 
Tip the bottle, 
Unscrew the flask, 
Giving hopelessly into your misery, 
You comfort me while you take my life,
You steal me from my body, 
You disconnect me from my conscious mind, 
Who might I call upon to save me from the nothingness?,
No, I am not an alcoholic, 
But as I tip the glass further, 
Your solace becoming my pain,
Raise a glass to despair!,
Raise a glass to easeful torture!, 
No, I am not an alcoholic, 
But I am addicted to the ideals you present, 
Please,
I beg, 
Save me from myself, 
Save me from inside,
Please, 
I beg, 
I do not want to be okay if this is what it means, 
I do not want to be okay if okay belongs in your arms, 
I do not want to be okay, 
I want to survive,
Let me survive.

RAISE YOUR KIDS WITH LOVE

Raise your kids with love ?? and affection
Travel with them and share with them beautiful stories of people. 
Children raised with negativity are hard to cure
They spread toxicity and bitterness everywhere they go.
Save the society from terrible  disaster.

Premium MemberRaise a Leg and Pee



I thought pee lines were for females
But when dogs stop wagging their tails
Guys seek the closest tree
Then raise a leg and pee
In a queue, their barks sound like wails

Premium MemberKingdom Children Raise

Somewhere in between, 
The seen and unseen.
It’s all been there from the beginning,
It’s just now the veil is thinning.
Why are you so surprised?
The enemy had everything disguised.
Prophets have shouted,
Many have doubted.
Time, 
It is sublime.
God in all His splendor,
He is our great defender.
Captives in prisons long held,
Have finally been expelled.
Cries of freedom
Are now heard throughout the Kingdom.
Shouts of Praise,
Kingdom children raise.
Shout to the King,
Let your voices ring.
The King is coming,
The King is coming, 
The King is coming.

Premium MemberRaise Your Glass

Radiant golden daffodils sway in the breeze

In air pure and clear

Fluffy white cotton ball clouds watch over

A pastel coloured rainbow gradually appears


Distant melody of a trickling brook 

A vibrant coloured butterfly flutters passed

Chirping  birds happily converse 

So to the splendour of nature ….please raise your glass!

Praise To Raise

A true inhabitant shall hail the only God,
For praise, conscience endowed.
Shall plant the seeds-the gifts.
When to glorify the Maker, a nation lifts.
It is not sole-the self but of greater bliss.

When God and Humanity align, a future of hope arise;
For when all partake, it’s a noble satisfice.
And when a neighbor needs a friend,
It’s a duty for you to lend and blend.
For to be one, offers a great strength.

Premium MemberYour Choice To Raise a Voice

A free voice, (is coming out) breaking chains falling
There's a mighty shout.! Despite the deadners and
Burned out )folk( there is hope in its scripting drawn
From reality (no jokes) no exploding cigars well you
Know what I mean.'' No filth getting cheered, yet there
Is the 'obscene' that crawl and plan? and live a lie that
Raise their ego, as some innocence dies.. Can you
Face reality ? If you can; spare a look.? Unleash your
Potential if you do, things will cook' a recipe for better
Just needs a hand, order a copy, help some survivors
Stand..' Cheer some hero's it can be done' then take time
With your kids, make them feel number one.!

Raise Our Consciousness and Sparks

Raise our consciousness and sparks 
By Michelle Morris
19/05/2023

Open your heart
Let the light heal your wounds
All the cracks in-between
The tears and scar tissue

Let your heartache diminish
Let your soul take flight in awe
You are so magical and blessed
Capable of your love to open every door 

Embrace your happiness and joy
Embrace your life each day 
Embrace every opportunity
To share your light with the Universe

Open your heart to it all
Connect with the stars in the dark 
Let everything shine together forever
And raise our consciousness and sparks

Raise You

His hands will raise your struggles
His mind will raise your views
His heart will raise your sorrows
His strength will raise your life
His morals will raise your children
His love will raise you
You above all else

Of all the inventions 
  whose time has come
  There is only one
  that will raise your thumbs
  All the way up, and then some ...
  
  As I'm sure you'll agree, wholeheartedly
  'twill resonate with every copy-machine owner
     the day I announce my new discovery
