Ignorance is bliss.
No one will blend things
Into the bittersweet truth.
When everyone worships
Different things…
They bring in warships....

Rehearsal for Being Controversial

Had a rehearsal
For being controversial;
Trump's whole staff was great.

See that he is keeping KellyAnn
off of TV and in public for awhile.

Perform To Raise a Storm
Perform To Raise A Storm

While outside it was raining and warm,
Inside another act I did try to perform;
Not sure of part;
Horse before cart;
Had been controversial causing a storm.

Controversial Friend
A friend so controversial,
Cried to me the other day
I wept too.
But she asked me;
“Dear, why do you cry?
“I am only too happy with you
Reason for my tears”, she intimated
Then we started crying together...

Lord
Lord….
Thee….
Guide me
Walk my path
Waiting for my bath
Twiddling my thumbs cause I fear me
Yearning for a hut where all those sounds are tapered shut
Please erase such a gut from such controversial rut running from head to toe like smut

Text Talk - Not
This text talk won’t last, it’s just a fad
Unsolicited text made me mad

Why should I pay for a commercial?
Now to me, it’s not controversial

My Cell phone provider and I talked
Now incoming text will all be blocked

Premium Member At This Late Hour
Politics – too controversial 
  Religion – irreversible

Steamy-hot Romance – too fraught
  Criminality – don’t wanna get caught

Photography – too much fornography
  Alcohol and Drugs – Gulp! My autobiography

What’s left to write about at this late hour
   ~ Blooms and blossoms, fragrance and flowers...

Thatcher's Demise
It was a love or hate her ,state of affairs!
Other's praised her works,but some groaned 
 over her controversial policies!
As it was,the funeral inspired many scoffers,
if few sympathetic mourners!
But,where I come from we do not despise the dead!
Whether they led a good or bad life story!

Premium Member Bobby Fischer
 Late, controversial American chess grandmaster, Bobby Fischer
 Became an anti-semite, fugitive, hermit; career fell into a fissure 

Legendary enigma with predominant wins as a chess wunderkind,
     But his greatest battle was with his discombobulated mind.

Underworld
It exists but no one alive
knows its location
what happens there
no one denies its reality
It is hot, controversial
Hens lay boiled eggs
that hatch mature chickens
Fishermen fish cooked fish
from imaginary oceans
Eclipses are set to appear
democratically in every place
Leaders die not, but vanish
Underworld, is a world
shrouded with mystery...

Premium Member Such Was the Lives
Such was the lives of frost, matthews, crane and so on and so on
As I read the short biographies of each
I am astonished by the depression they felt
The sorrow they wrote
The emptiness of home

Their poetry so emotional,
Controversial ,
Full of the truth

We remember them for their accomplishments
Not for their misfortunes
It's just sad to read about them...

Premium Member Mike Tyson
Controversial boxing legend with a distinctive lisp, "Iron Mike" Tyson.
 The sheer impact of his punch? Probably like being rammed by a Bison.
   
  Ex-convict/former bad boy; paid his debt to society without exemption.
   Came out of prison, got boxing license back, took road to redemption.

The Wild Lilly
I knew some plant pieces by your name 
When my father tried to persuade me 
To be his successor as a TCM practitioner 
I have not seen your beauty until recently 
When my wife made our garden your home 

I was confused by these controversial facts 
That someone like my wife value Your beauty 
While others like my father deplete your life
For their own purposes ?...
