Civil Unrest

a chastushka

Civil noncompliance like whiskey
ages slow with pressure until...
Laws that render conscience risky
should be labeled a reflux still.

But that car just hit their barbed wire

"Civil Rights suit me to a T"
I could see what he meant
For my placard was bent
So it read, " ruth will make you free!"

Lincoln, your honesty gave you a name
Death surrounded you in all kinds of ways
Civil War gave you the worst kind of fame.
Wonder if you ever had any good days?

My favorite subject is civil unrest;

With no doubt, 
That always will have been best.

Hegelian Refraction

Expelled again from cosmic matters
The fool consults his satellite
Eager to shred to tatters
All ambition to fight
Structured tyranny
Rolling over
Civil minds

Had Killed My Own Son Horn Haiku

Remember one day
When there was both blue and gray
With sad things to say.

Civil war was done
And no one really had won
Had killed my on son.

Can you imagine.

Premium Member Civil War

Dare we utter the words “Civil War”? Or claim of dictatorship which can't be ignored An economic disaster Shaking things up to the rafters A catastrophe, like none other before
war
Form: Limerick

Civil Wars

Civil Wars 
A civil war lasts long in psyche of people 
Bitterness of having lost festers from one
Generation to the next and black America 
Are still victims caught in the middle of
The unresolved.

First Sequel God Doing Ungodly Things

like a civil gentleman,
he was drowned in their violence,
and had no will or power to save or protest,
he fell and fell so good,
that he could not see his own epitaph,
like we all are not able to.

Belief

GOD: the goodness of determination,
a standard for better living creation.
to differentiate a civil or wild nation,
for smoothness a better flow no tension,
only patience, belief, trust asks to confirm.
