Short Consensus Poems

Dollars and consensus,
Violate our senses,
A symbol condenses,
Our spirit's presence, 
For paper worth less than a cent is....

Only talking to each other,
academics expound

And sing to the choir
—no truth to be found

Higgledy-Piggledy
Forty-fifth president
Some think him marvelous;
Others a jerk.

Chasm political
Breached by consensus, his
Cosmetological
Routine needs work....

Stories can

Seem as

Paradoxical

Happenings..

No figuring out..

Stories attacked

By the rational

Consensus..yet

Suggesting 

Not-two.....

An enterprising young boy from Memphis
Made it his goal to climb Mount Olympus
Short-legged in stock
He fancied a smock
And he couldn't round up a consensus.

Consensus…
the sum of like judgment

Judgment,
the tool of conjecture

Conjecture,
opined observation

Happening quite often
—with eyes closed

Consensus of Suspenses


What we really could need is a concensus,
After agreeing with each of the suspenses;
Looked around,
And had found;
Successfully arrived at same consequences.

There’s a haven beyond
all praise and blame,
where true writing can repose

All time on the run,
consensus lay shunned
—the truth neither friend nor foe

What's the consensus bout the existence of aliens
My take on the subject is their all homo sapiens
Dressed in white sheets
With enormous big feet
Smelling like skunks and flounder simultaneous...

Change is coming big time, make no mistake
Back from red to blue, for goodness sake
Coming to their senses
By the latest consensus
Return to a civilized society and rid themselves of this snake ...

Open your eyes.
Open your ears.
Try for just tomorrow to set aside
the prejudices you don't believe you have.

99% is a big number
Consensus is a neat process
It takes ALL of us being awake and active
to make a difference....

Forty years of turmoil…
the top of the heap
The head of the table,
but nothing has changed
Consensus of endorsement,
accolades of exhaustion
Whose tracks have long faded
—regret in the wind

Beyond academia
  its cause and effect

Lies a power inherent
  above judgment and theft

Atop its ivory tower
  and smothering vine

Consensus is trembling
 —with truth on the line

Intellectual hygiene…
the Poet declines

That dull antiseptic,
that deadens your mind

Once washed and then scrubbed,
the truth a charade

Academic consensus
—the Muse in her grave

Drowning in self degradation
Deliberate affliction is exacerbating 
Crystalline facade dulling senses 
Normalcy, forgetting our consensus


Score, decennary years within  
point, swirling under skin
Finality, deaths creeping in
Exodus, my last syringe...

Floods coastal and inland
    Droughts across the world
  Rising temps, melting ice
    Tsunamis at us being hurled
 
  We clamor for climate action
    Searching in vain for consensus
  Yet we scoff at the message God's sent
     ~ Time for us all to repent...

Mistakes

Imply a choice

This or that

And a character

Looking back and

Declaring a mistake

Perhaps with regret

With guilt..

Perhaps "others"

Judging what now

Is a consensus

Mistake..

A ballooning of

Stories based on

Illusory choice......

Yes or no,
right or wrong,
their truth so far apart

Opinion
versus stated fact,
polarized and stark

To give
or sway conjecture,
in light of what is known

Weakness
in consensus lost
— black and white has shown

(Philadelphia Ethical Society: September, 2020)...

With no respect for labels,
  dead branches on a tree

Refusing thrice to do the dance,
  a worthless reverie

Rejecting their consensus,
  all singing to the choir

Each word anew I write in blood
 —whose truth I do aspire

Walking on

A linear path

Seems the lot

Of most of us..

It seems sensible 

Secure and is 

Consensus..

This path continues

Despite an

Occasional

Intuitive slump

About something

Called home..yet

It is as it is

And beautiful

Defying description......
