Active civility fades
Forgotten parades

That tepid tea, civility,
Is not the drink for such as me!
Thou cusp, thou nib, thou pricket, prickle, tang and tine!
Thy wit lacks width to grasp my line!

O Sun, my lodestar, I shall not profane Thee
   You guide my way, to greet the outcast amiably
Yea, though mine is an era bereft of civility
   You beam down upon me, mercifully...

“IT's” just round the corner, know what I mean?
Expect an early start for how patient we've been
Enduring white doodoo
Along with nose googoo
Pining for civility to return to the scene...

Silence is golden is a phrase from the past
Things have changed, need to rant, rave and blast
To be heard above the din
Much to our chagrin
Civility in the world has gone to the dogs fast...

Civility in gentle temper spoke
Respectfully, as factions disagree
Kindness bound common ground in unity
And softened generosity awoke.

Silence is golden is a phrase from the past
Things have changed, need to rant, rave and blast
To be heard above the din
Much to our chagrin
Civility in the world is going to the dogs very fast...

As my mind slips away
A little more each day

Regressing into a world of juvenility
With less and less social civility

Physically capable but losing mental mobility
I believe this road is called futility

There's too much civility hanging out here
Will try to create mayhem while drinking a beer
For the common good
Will do what I should
But it may be too much for this mortal so mere

Shucks.
Everyone's busy now.
Places to go, people to see
Teachers and preachers and doctors and lawyers
Exuding school-year civility.
Me, I prefer lazy summer.
But...
Even amidst the brisk hustle and bustle
Reindeer are grazing....

Tortured by sheer civility 
Civility tortured by me
Duties lie in the world of pain 
Challenged by poetry 

Who dies, who lives, who cries for life
Meek in emotion for thee
Who dies, who lives, who cries for life
Death from civility...

You are a woman,

beautiful, black,

 God’s masterpiece,

 created with majestic power

                   and divinity—

The type of woman

who could never  be tamed

or possessed.

One deserving of love,

respect, and civility....

Creep, oh centipede! 
    A malady to my cornea. 
Like kernels a decoy
    In my Eden realm. 
I'm infuriate to civility
    Just us serenity intervene. 
Serendipity smock my bones
    In solitude. 
Here it is, your servitude
    Of search....

    Drift the hours away
       no plans or goals to weigh
    Whatever comes my way… 

    On the back of imagination
       purest creativity
    Fling aside reins of civility

    Run together, each and every day
       as the palm trees sway…

Grace is the right balance
of humor, tact, and wit.

Touting propriety
couth and civility.

Innocence with a tinge
of righteous arrogance. 

Genteel fluidity
in dress and decorum.

It’s the epitome
of femininity.


(Blank Verse)

Carry no flowers nor candles
Pray carry good wishes instead, 
It would be more honourable
And a respite for all those dead.

They know how to return favours
Grateful like no mortals could be,
Those buried are far more adept
At lessons in civility.

Benevolent 
Limerick 
Written: by “Miracle Man”
7/10/2018

I once knew this man, who was quite benevolent,
But began showing signs of becoming malevolent;
His heart brimmed with hate,
He became easy to exasperate.
Since his passing civility is much more prevalent.

The ability 
the agility
to cause your humility
you lose stability
as I show no civility
It is the will of me
Its like a pill to me
a hypnotic narcotic
you become neurotic
my lyrics they frolic
dancing ballet
your ears my valet 
to my poem soiree
you expected fast food
I fed you gourmet....

Standing at the edge of sanity

Peering at the face of humanity

I spy the sadness and infernal madness

That reflects their greed and vanity

When all civility fails to reform

And hate and suffering becomes the norm

Still I wonder with the sound of thunder

The consequences of the coming storm...

Our children see others lie with impunity

Simply blow out the light, darkness perverts civility

Feel free to share with me all your disbelief and dissatisfied continuity.
I am at my breaking point with all fake joint society. 
Saying that your wanting unity at your own convenience is narcissistic depravity.
It's like acting for an audience that is not entertained but not angry and you criticize their civility....

The art is fading,
Like the civility it shows.
Hard now to find those
Who understand the shading
One needs to give to common speech,
To convey benedicence
Through common sense,
With all the forms of courtesy teach 

A repartee' that clashes not like jagged, tumbling stones;
Reclaiming dignity over our tea and scones....
