Renegade Poems - Poems about Renegade

Aunt Mary was a small and wiry mother of six; four by birth and two by informal adoption. She sang in a small querulous voice yet spoke boldly filled with loving EarthMother indigenous wisdom choices. Aunt Mary was a serenely quiet mentor and suspiciously happy Sunday School teacher in our stern Christian evangelical Bible Church where divine Revelation ended with the last apocalyptic King James chapter. Closed "Father Has...

The echo of a dreadful night cannot contain a valorous heart The searing blood in a warrior's veins does not succumb to a vanquished heart The clashing of swords, gory and raw do not sway the mighty "outlaw" She charges deep into the dawning war with strands of darkness glistening under the waning star Thoughts of her faith she...

Anaemia Who cares for her once glorious dreams Utopia is the new reality Dopamine-starved citizens gaze forlornly As blood feverishly flows out From her gaping wounds Siamese twins of hunger and anger Starving her of peace and progress In a land of high Testosterone Security gone AWOL Citizens on their own Slowly but steadily Life ebbs out Deprived of nutrients and water Homeland turned fiefdom by renegades Despising folks,...

Boldly I exhume exclusion, a badge of sacrifice Milestones shunned, money’s usual manoeuvre Cultural flimsy stronghold, servant’s fiscal price Top tier requires slaves toil all day for approval Nonetheless, pleasingly, I hail our lucky country Offers safety, anonymity, hovel unacknowledged No need to solidify alliances, desperately hungry Primed pilferers for immediate advantage pillage Supplementing streetscapes bolster unsold soles Trove tumbledryer drums...

We finally made it to Phoenix Johnny's singing in the shower We've been waiting for hours to take care of business. Spitting out miles of chewed up road Contraband couriers of another load now our contact doesn't answer the phone Another night in a cheap Motel Here I am again lying to myself promised to quit this business But...

Here lay the broken shards Of a glass called bones, With it are weeping hearts As cold as a stone. You know you left too soon Pending is our journey, Awaiting is gloom. You set fire to our kingdom, Built a castle with the ashes, Kept the crown, holding the matches. The story continues… How you fought battles, Ablaze was you heart Like your burning castles. Walls are degraded...

As I lay upon my bed tonight I dreamed of ways to take my flight, Whether here on Earth or Heaven's Gate, I've prepared myself, a Renegade. It may not make much sense today, But I know my voice is here to stay, And I will live with Truth and Honor and spend my final waking hours, to reminisce among the shadows or quiet...

Renegade trees are suffocating the yard. One became seven rather quickly. When I discovered the mother tree, I congratulated myself on a successful transplant years ago. I had babied my little forest tree almost too much. Never dreaming she was going to become the grandmother of the yard. Going forth and multiplying....

Your renegade heart, so darkly pure Once scarred by light found insecure Our momentum of romanced waves converged Drowning all foundations of reserve But my faint mount failed to keep pace Across your tangled steeplechase When every question was a crime Smug sneers met any need of mine Callowness furled in fickle curls How you despised the unrepentant world! Yet, I thank you for this...

Endured a hapless energy renegade Spiked for purple Kool-Aid Sandbox toys with tortured minds Bless-ed wink at my duress Potato truck deposits you While life is laughing back Go ahead and crawl again Walking fakes a man of you Flipped like pancakes over done Just you see there is no “fun” Crash the fence inside your mind No Picasso poet son...

I'm American, a Cherokee. The white settlers slaughtered our families on the Trail of Tears. Our women escaped the white settlers between the sheets. We stumbled along the dusty roads, dragging or carrying our dead on our backs. Some of the white settlers kicked us. As time passed our blood mingled, but we were still Cherokee. My great, great grandfather escaped the Civil War by jumping...

Phantoming my generation I get mesmerized each time I try Most things I see break my heart And at the same time blow my mind Education is no more for liberation But a focal tool of oppression Wealth and generosity are now enemies The former married intimidation And the latter is now kissing annihilation People don't just give anymore without expectation Oh my dear generation So...
