She accused him of being cheap
Then calls him a nasty creep
For touching her bust
He was fill with lust
She hits him and he falls to sleep...

beak just above the oily mud

head resting on thick sludge
one dull eye looks 

there is no accusation
no recriminatory stare

only that dimming lens
seeking a clean patch of sky...

Death awaits me on the corner
so be quick
with your
condemnation
and I shall consider
tomorrow’s charges
tangled
with today’s
conviction
and claim
my part
of
just accusation
and
no
more....

Its beak is just above the oily mud.
Head resting on the thick sludge.
One black eye looks at us.
There is no accusation in that gaze,
no recriminatory stare,
not even a plea for rescue.
Only that dimming lens,
looking at a clean patch of sky....

Gateway stars
Your colors wrap around my dimension
In other words here we go again
My glorious accusation
The stifled flights
I was stolen from our mother
Celestial moons are finding their way to the breakfast table
I’m too tired to feast
My neck aches...

Its beak is just above the oily mud.
Head resting on the thick sludge.
One black eye looks at us.
There is no accusation in that gaze.
No recriminatory stare,
not even a plea for rescue.

Misbegotten pair, 
two-faced accusation, 
the seduction of sweet solace 
or the inarticulation of despair. 
Either uneasy 'neath the spell of peerless rapture, 
false respite from the ravages of fear,
or defenseless and imperilled 
by a sadness that is too extreme to bear....

She said, "You were watching my rump!"
He thought for a bit and then said,
"Think of me not one dimensional"
"I love you for all you embed"

"I love the clever way you think"
"To me, your all, is a delight"
"Your sashay when you walk away. . . . ."
"Ok, I must admit you're right!"...

Crashing and smashing,
CRASH! SMASH!
Then stop.
There the man is lying.
He is not a celebrity,
Or, some irritated,
On the hands of fame;
Or, one of the terrorists-
Will claim a headline.
Yet he lies peacefully there,
Under the tyres of civilization,
And Without any accusation,
Untill......

Its beak is just above the black mud,
head resting on the thick sludge.

One black eye looks at us.
There is no accusation in that gaze,
no recriminatory stare
not even a plea for rescue.

Only that dimming lens,
that looks now,
at a clean patch of sky
as if it were God....

White crosses
show a thousand loses
row upon row of wars destruction

each one a voice of reproach and accusation
felt in the tears of a families devastation
heard in each graves silence

a humankind offense
Man's pretense

Too much responsibility.
Too much pressure.
He's not a child,
I'm not a mother.

Why do they blame me
for the works of the other?
It's not fair to be-
And we regret to bother.

Frustration, neglect
Accusation, reflect.
Love, live
Confiscate, give
Solitude....always nude-
(don't be crude)
Forgive....

They gave birth
to a beautiful baby
and left him alone 
only a dog to play with
the dog was  happy
to have a  humble friend
and it taught him how to bite
yes, he excelled in the skill 
biting without sparing
biting without mercy
parents wept and exiled child
but were indicted by society
for false accusation...

Assumptions
By Jeremy Edgar

Most conflicts are a creation,
Of poor communication,
Or provocation,
Caused by misinterpretation.

Use your imagination,
And gather information.
Avoid aggravation,
With a small investigation.

So resist the temptation,
To make an accusation.
Misinformation,
Can lead to humiliation....

Slender beams of 
accusation enter
this darkened place 
as I kneel,
always lost, 
always forlorn,
frozen here,
waiting.

Angelic forms wrought 
in panes of glass loom as
dust dances in the air,
forming an image in my mind,
sparing not my 
naked outstretched arms.

Realization dawning on my face.

I raise my head, 
now kneeling before
this airy salvation....

Slender beams of
accusation enter
this darkened church
as I kneel,
Always sorrowful,
Always a slave,
Frozen here,
waiting.
Angelic forms
wrought in panes of
glass loom,
As dust dances in
the air,
Forming an image in
my mind,
Searing my naked
soul.
Realization dawning
on an angels face.
I raise my head,
Now kneeling before
this uncaring fate....

Fingers are wrongly pointed in accusation
Assuming poems are written for intimidation
Voices raised in needless defense cry aloud
As they huddle and mutter among the crowd

Consider how your allegations must sound
As you toss foolish words and slurs all around
Don't defame those whose troubles you don't know
You've no reason to sow weeds where poets grow...

Like the cherry blossom
That once adorned the trees
Our love bloomed
But that was before the spring rain fell
And the winds blew in
Scattering what once was beauty
And with each petal torn from the bough
A bitter tear was shed
As each piece was carried on the wind
A word of accusation followed
And when the last petal was set free
Then our love was gone...

An Accusation has been made,
They rush it on the front page.
Presumption of innocence long since lost;
Guilty as alleged, freedom the cost;
The nature of evidence be damned;
The seriousness of the charge demands;
An investigation must begin;
Repeat, repeat, repeat the charge;
Thus, the perception is at large;
There is guilt of wrong doing;
This is not at all amusing!...

In the lobby of the courthouse
People’s demeanor
Are such a telltale
Casual and comfortable
The secretaries
Determined and debonair
The lawyers
Focused and unperturbed
The judges
And then the others
With scowls on their faces
Nervousness and concern
The weight of accusation
The slow ominous pace
Of being led directly
To the slaughterhouse

Accused publicly
Dragged through the mud
Stabbed in the heart
Pinned to the cross
Humiliated defaced
Forsaken on my own
No one to take my part
Or even listen to my side
I may as well be mute
The verdict has been cast
Everyone is satisfied
Except me voiceless faceless me
I’ve been thrown under the bus
They’ve gotten rid of me
