Premium Member When a Potato Cries

When a potato cries,
do you see the teardrops in his eyes - 
as he's fried, boiled, steamed,
or otherwise, demeaned?
Do, his pardon, you humbly beg
when you serve him with an egg?

New Light

Fated poets
wander lost
in a sea of dreams

Devoid of truth
and not in rhyme 
their words demeaned

Lasting moments
unresolved
repeat and spawn

Waiting for new
light to birth
— a saving dawn

Premium Member LEGACY

May we be blessed to understand…our legacy
is what we do every day…it’s what other people see…

It’s every person who’s heart we’ve touched…
every person we’ve helped…or charmed…
It’s also every person we’ve injured, demeaned and harmed.

Orphaning Winds

Changing with each season,
voices come and go 
what’s lost undreamed, ourselves demeaned,
in search of the unknown

Naked and left wanting,
fortune sires myth
impregnating its mystery
—with tales of the abyss

The Ultimate Abomination

I have been called many .
But never good nor honey .
Stoned day, night and a lot .
For asking why or what . 
Demeaned way beneath human being 
For not being a pretty scene . 
Denied to breathe in . 
For I am the ultimate sin. 
The pure abomination . 
For everyone for all nation .

Rash from Crash and Back Lash

Trump does have a rash
which caused stock market to crash
from all the backlash

wish Trump would cut crap
crashed when he ran off the map
facing one more rap

Trump seems so scary
is insulting and very
at cemetery

crippled or goner
degrade Medal of Honor
which he had demeaned

Trump stories provide
he had always lied and lied
full of much self-pride

Jester In Transit

Bending a breaking point
rupturing time
Eons of history
skirting the line

Paradox native
our true D.N.A.
Truth as a concept
forever in play

Yessing and noing    
transfixed in between
The jester in transit
all canons demeaned

Freeing the moment
 the first wedded last
a twist to the turning
—where memory contrasts

Evolution of Freedom

Broken cups
goodbye letters
sounds of anger
doesn’t get better
quiet life 
calm as can be


Then slammed
sliding back
chaos sings
battered wings
shattered dreams
pain of fire
heart ripped out
debased demeaned
always unseen
shut doors
locked gates
eyes wide open
see no fate ..


Separation
of a
Hallucination
in the
Annihilation
and all
Validation
in the
Evolution
of our
Freedom

The Burning Bridge

When faith is abandoned
we live on old dreams
In time captured wastelands
barren demeaned
Believing the tattler
and spinner of lies
Desperation is sainted
epistles decry

“Music plays in keys of pain
shouting from below
Missals singed in pagan fire
ashes still aglow
Caught out on a bridge alone
burning from both ends
Martyred in our heresy
— darkness to befriend”
