Premium Member Lucky To Live Here

I reside in a commune of exconvicts,

Lucky to live here unrestricted.

Capital Punishment

Capital punishment

When a state
Kills a convicted murderer
The state
Becomes like the killer 
Murdering the defenseless 
In the toxic word 
Of justice

Clear Picture Depicted

Clear Picture Depicted

A clear picture had been depicted;
Sins caused us all to be convicted;
Big ego we had;
Both sad and bad;
From God's church we were evicted.

Information Had Been Substantial

Information Had Been Substantial

All the information had been substantia,
But we heard was purely circumstantial;
Never fail;
Dollar trail;
Trump convicted on data that is financial.

The Political Elite

A mouthful
of hate
A bullhorn
of lies
Dissected
infected
With terminal
pride
Conscripting
the fledgling
Embedded
in brine
Indicted 
convicted
True felons
— of time

Premium Member A QUESTION--

He was perceived inadequate
Acostic and accused interactive.
Convicted guilty the free will
Unapologetic even still

Shown bested to be a king
In his own mind such a thing

Cud

like a ruminant you digest your own cud
you think that life has  things in store for you
baby, it's been game over long time ago
go to your cuffin and void your burdens
every action is still born
every thought is convicted to death

Justice

Convicted witch
Who cursed the rich
Will strangle in
A rope-choked grin.

The gallows creaks!
Before two weeks
The duke she named
Collapses, lamed.

His crops decay,
His hair grows grey,
And two weeks more
His lips froth gore.

Premium Member Tried and Convicted Child

innocent child
housed
on a homeless street
crowded
with abandonment
and disparity
is found guilty…
sentenced
to life’s fear
that today
will become
tomorrow
and tomorrow’s
tomorrows
will become next 
week…and…
and…
what the hell…

Premium Member Dna Not Count Today

Convicted of raping 
Now new game he's playing 
He is sex offender 
But he changes gender 
So he becomes a she 
Then the law does agree 
The game he now has won
Sent to women's prison 
Has something gone amiss 
That lets him take the piss?

I Will Not Love You Anymore

one day i will not love you anymore

i'll forget there ever was a score

of the holes in my heart you tore

out of my head furthermore

forget you're addicted

and abuse afflicted

like jail convicted

contradicted

i hate you

i do

Cafeteria

Patiently waiting in a line
eyeballed an wary
harsh barking of subterranean cultures
standing weary and inured
to the rotten
fug
the rotten
oxygen

inside the high walls and wire, the weighted stone of
the convicted

existing like convicts

Threat Regret

“If I claimed you sexually harassed me,
Who do you think they’d actually believe?
You – the convicted felon,
Or me, with my large melons?”
“You…so I might as well take what I please!”

Convicted Heart

My enlarged heart
not bears anomaly ... lives full
of love ....
I'm a convinced cardiac
so I love from the heart
who makes me pulse strongly ...
I live with a festive heart,
full of songs and flowers,
always an opened garden,
a watercolor of colors ...!

Do Declare Should Share the Air

when i do declare
there is so much we should share
inhale all the air

had elicited
actions should be restricted
could be convicted

while in their presence
was in every essence
enjoy pleasance

had hesitated
things we knew were related

Demoralized

The guilt of a smile
The hidden scars I bare
Feeling all lost
You have nothing to compare.

A laugh seems strange
As it falls from my lips
All dusty and bizarre
Even to myself

Guilty as sin
Convicted more than once
The feeling of life
Is an unfamiliar touch

The Light May Shine On Me

Those coming to the aid 
Of a justly tried
And convicted
Criminal
Have been hiding in the shade
    Of
Trump.
They know they
    Are
Complicit
In his crimes
And deathly afraid
     Of
Stepping into the light of truth
From a pile of .

Convicted

K indly open your heart
U nderstand me
N ot just hear me 
D on't make it obvious 
A mend your judgement 

C astigate me yes, But 
H ang me not
A venge bitterly 
M urder me not
A pprehend my conscious 
T ame the animal in me 
E xorcise my demons
T ake me to your church 
E mancipate my soul

Premium Member Pug Gives Baby a Kiss

Pug puckered up
Gave the baby a kiss
No one noticed
Not his mother, father,
Or his nanny, a miss

Pug walked away, satisfied and happy
A dog who is sentimental and a bit sappy
Baby woke up and thought something was weird
But had no knowledge of the deed,
So no culprit was accused, convicted or cleared

Premium Member Poetry Soup Addiction

Dear lord I'm addicted
All my morals are conflicted
The necessities been evicted
I ought to be convicted
And I should be restricted
As it was depicted
Some would say predicted
Once I became subscripted
That I'd soon be afflicted
And definitely unrestricted
It can't be contradicted
'cause to poetry I'm addicted
