May my adversity
be enameled with civility
May my diversity
be filled with commonality
May my best move
always be 'Common Sense'
A man once dared to dream
Of a place where people don't scream
Of peace and tranquillity
A time of civility
Yes, a man once dared to dream.
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

Politeness, Manners, Civility
Empathy, Decency, Dignity
have all given way
to oinks, squeals and brays
Vulgarity carries the day
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
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.
And the epitome,
of femininity.
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…
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.
***********
A tree ignoring me.
Standing quiet and stoically.
Knowing for decades
What we have to keep learning.
The secrets of life that we are always yearning.
He bends.
He sways.
He knows.
Something we can’t quit grasp.
His understanding
It takes cooperating
To live with winds unrest.
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.
