man of decency
if lives with indecent ones
becomes indecent
My magnificent seraph,
Behind a smile she shields her suffering
Self-forgetting, so self inflicting
Woe to the one who delights in decency
Form:
Vicious rumours,
Idle gossip,
Talk, that is void of logic,
The horrific drama that
unfolds behind peoples' backs,
shows distaste and lack of
class and decency.
In this age of “anything goes”
Decency is not a priority as we know
Preferred the old rules
Call me an old fool
Twas a different era things were slower
Enough lies and vicious duplicity.
Someone please bring back times of decency.
Good ol' fashioned civilized dialogue.

You deserved fresh cut Rose's
But instead all I ever gave you was Nettles
That is why I am eternally grateful
You never settled for me
And I had the decency
To let you be
Sword of the valiant
A promise of decency and honor
Man of justice and morality
Upright in decision-making
Remembrance of heroism
Aged for equality and pride
Investment of life and dignity
Politeness, Manners, Civility
Empathy, Decency, Dignity
have all given way
to oinks, squeals and brays
Vulgarity carries the day
Remember that time
you bought a gallon
of cherry juice--
And didn't
have the decency
to pour it into
a cup
Of course-- it fell
From the hand less bodies
reaching
-- amiss
I couldn't help but notice..
all the cracks it filled.
Form:
A phenomenal day not writing poetry..
Watching excellence and physical symmetry!
Creativity in the ads were total artistry…
Halftime show done, with needed decency!

Mr. Racist, Mr. Racist,
fills with hate the empty spaces.
Mr. Racist, Mr. Racist,
of decency he'll leave no traces.
Mr. Fugly, Tubby Racist,
don't know how to tie his laces.
Buggy Nubby, stupid racist,
don't know how to be courageous.
The cradle of three of the biggest faiths
Rocked by the claim one agenda stakes
Locked and loaded and ready for war
With righteous blessings for terror and gore
Sentiments civilities and landscapes pitted
All of human decency finally outwitted
The Deep fake era is upon us
?Every thing is fake these days?Everything is a fraud ?Prepare for the deep fake world
Fakery, fraud, and falsehoods abound
All artfully done
Killing the last shred of human decency left
Everything is a deep fake
these days
Words drift through lips so easily,
disbelief to broken promises made recently.
Void of decency,
although shrouded in secrecy.
Absent is life’s leniency,
awakened to unforgiving reality.
Heart yearning to rest peacefully,
so it seems souls never love evenly.
Modesty antedates clothes and will be resumed when clothes are no more. (Mark Twain)
When Adam donned his fig leaf
Was a sense of decency assumed.
When sons of Adam
Again find it cute
To be comfortable
In their birthday suit
Will simple modesty be resumed.
Undress me with your eyes and our connection will not last,
give me the decency to listen to your heart, as your words caress my soul.
Let our minds collide by laughter and a hint of smiles. Open up my affection
with all of your truth. Care for me now and I'll always love for you.
Form:
In truth hypocrisy lies
Fermented in the divine
A psychotropic shed of moral skin
Manifest entropy our destiny sink or swim
Unto others we do lest it be done to us
Lost in translation is decency and trust
As vanity informs our social dialect
When studying a mirror is there anything but regret
Trust implies openness
Mutual decency and honesty.
Trust is obligatory in friendship
Or romantic relationship.
Trust is based on agreement
Clear meaning of message.
Trust is core in life.
I trust you. I trust myself.
Trust is risk taker
Justify danger, warn vulnerability
Support emotional crisis.
Form:
That's what you are
A Blessing
Formulated in Love
Descended
from the Heavens
You bring such Joy
that is hard
to put in words.
In a sense
you're a miracle
with grace and decency.
There were times
when you
saved my life
just by
being in it,
something I can never
repay you for.
Believe it
For It's True!
Labor Day
A day recalling
Past doing and achieving..
And demanding of decency..
Working and supporting
Abundance speaking..
Ideal colorings bringing
Nostalgic happiness..
Enter the pandemic
With stirrings and fear..
Yet..perhaps pointing to
Our unknown Livelihood:
Abundance unbounded...
Comment On Decency And Morality
This ole earth sets its unholy record
as sin is so often celebrated
The bad walk with chins and chest puffed out
streets danger from the inebriated.

In a wild, frantic fairytale
Could you name a character
Whose heart had failed her
In ways that mine has?
With a bitter flame inside my chest,
I pledge I'll never try again.
I plea with grace and decency
With every attempt to flee the scene.
With every attempt to leap into flight.
To let down my white flag,
Stay in and fight.
got a basic sense of decency
willing to lend a helping hand
a kindness in his heart
for principles he'll make a stand
rich he'll never be
money doesn't mean that much
tries to keep his faith
with the lord he stays in touch
he's not in any history book
was never in the plan
but leaves his mark none the less
just the average man

To dangle in the dying trance
Of dreamy dance in spoilt chance
In the fastidious pursuit
Of empty distractions that reign corrupt
Where even a sense of plain decency
Is drenched with insidious charm
That render meaning hopeless
To redemption and sublime finesse
