Righteous Poems - Poems about Righteous

Endless conflicts
I'm torn between two distant worlds ~ one steeped in wickedness and sin, the other pure and righteous; my mind drifts like oil on water. Alluring is the glory of heaven, promised if I remain pure and holy, yet enticing is the frivolity hidden in jollity they call "sin." My mind imagines the afterlife the Bible depicts, yet I savour worldly pleasures my flesh...

Our skin is not a costume
Our pain is not your entertainment We don't exist purely for your amusement My skin is not a costume Don't treat us like we are some display In a showroom We won't apologise for our presence We will walk in every room with our heads up Our silence our greatest weapon It honours our intelligence Your biggest flaw...

Deep in the Shadows
Within the shadows of darkened lanes and alleys, There i dwell hidden from sight ,sounds and smell, Humankind knows me not walk away as if they are shot, My eyes see what goes on kicking a homeless man to death, Name calling those who dare to live as they want to, Just because differences seem...

The Sound of Silence Part Two
Hello Darkness, my old friend, I'm afraid we have to start again, The visions planted in my head, Fake nutrition we've been fed, An agenda thats just for one, Evil's son, Within the sound of silence, In a web, I walked with masses, Many held the toast of glasses, A shot rang out with a miss, Fist rose in a state of bliss, Victory by defeat...

Righteous Works
A little act of kindness Makes you a hero for a day A life you give for the country Makes you a hero for a lifetime. A fish you give to the needy Makes life sustain for a day A step to the moon he did Is lifetime achievement for humanity. A story you teach for the youngsters Makes them morally upright A word of...

AN ENDANGERED MOUSE
A man is born homo-Erectus Into a world Where women wants To usurp authority A world where Women will electrocute her man If she can’t wrap him Around her little fingers Thus I often beg God For one big favor… Let me die The death of the righteous The day I become An endangered mouse ...

The righteous side
I sit alone, and meditate. I think of kin, I dare to hate. I think of things, that I have done. I think of people, we live among. I think of deeds, that shame my soul. I think of sins, I can’t control. But as I embrace, my inner peace, my true emotions, begin to feast. To God I pray, with all regret, and hope my sins, I can forget. In time of need, He...

As the world turns into the unrecognizable As justice is completely destroyed, and laws are merely twisted at will As corruption distorts and destroys As people are divided and murdered As hatred spreads like lava spilling, and safety wanes rapidly like snow in rain As voices are censored and people silenced, while our rights are stomped on and stolen While diseases are man- made...
