Short Denounced Poems

Shooting stars run through 
A saddened and denounced man
Depressed without hope

I hail the critics
That so doggedly denounced me
Pardon me for my hubris
They said it wouldn’t last
And they were right...

His spirit denounced
  his body on fire

His words rechristened
 —the past but a liar

as part of his midnight portfolio
denounced the hedonist
that Porsche, you can't seriously say it is missed....

Jim Steneson had a problem with gas
without warning he'd let out a blast.
The stink was obscene
folks escaped the scene
and denounced Jim as a pain in the ass....

No image of himself
Too near in time
Shrunk back from, in cowering
This o'erpowering.

As what aged, bent, but for
Which missed chance, o'er
Love's, shows remorse so pronounced.
A life denounced!...

Grown Miss Muffet put “tuffet” on display
family quickly denounced her as a stray
       Muffet found bike rider
       who called himself Spider
 and, after curds, he and she sped a-whey

Owning the consequence
of all that you do

Intentions when pure,
dark minds misconstrue

When twisted and spun,
then torn into shreds

The words once pristine
—denounced when misread

Boko Haram sect claimed to have killed many and caused distractions
The government denounced this as wishful thinking and untrue
The masses condemned this act of killing and called for drastic actions
The destruction of this terrorist sect is long overdue....

The
Young
Couple
Runaway
In a night elope
Preserving the forbidden love 
Denounced aloud by the society where they lived
Pursuancing to legalize by church and laws, the love that sparked as an volcano

Kenosha burned last night,
The flames engulfed the streets.
The peaceful protestors rioted.

Shops and stores set alight,
The flames lunged forward.
The peaceful protestors looted.

Homes and houses lit so bright,
The flames rolled toward them.
The peaceful protestors rampant. 

The Gov denounced police
And bound the NG with ROE.
The peaceful protestors released....

comes through life as a mind set
hard to fight the flight to insanity
true integrity of ones trying eye
denile of a pain thats real as life
reason kindled by realities of a 
denounced respect of ones pain
that truly hurts the heart of a soul
hope that it  passes through and out
one fact that life brings to ones pain
is a blank space that only one can fill
the mind with truth is the will of God...

I have a tremendous fear,
It causes my shoulders a great burden,
A burden of flame and eternity,
Tomorrow I return,
Walk through the commanding doors-
Doors to the Roman Catholic Church,
Therein I was born and raised,
As I reached my coming of age I fled,
I denounced all that the church was,
I stand here now,
Proclaiming myself to be a fool,
I pray the faith welcomes their sheep with open arms....

I stand at temptations door...
As anger spurs a grievance withheld.
Surreptitiously you praise the incongruent
While flinging to the wayside the valuable.

Eyes closed to the importance of veracity,
You belabor simplicity with objectivity denounced
As you are drawn only to the iconoclastic.
I long to visualize cronyism obliterated.

Having surpassed the ides of March. 
Denounced the the baneful glare.
Yet my grief befriends Sanity.
Doctrine of hate preached from
Pulpits and podiums.
Marathon of the arms race.
Humans of another race are dispensable. 
Creation of art in flesh and blood.
My heart is compelled to dwell.
In poems that rhymes life.
In a compassion that flow.
Into a stream of peace and tolerance.
Creating in my mind another alien world....

Intellectually distinguished
master of novices –
priest loyal to the papacy,
after the Reformation rift.

He went from one catholic family 
to another –
by spies denounced
and arrested.

Convicted of treason and executed
for his links to the Holy See.
He was a catholic priest,
so his links were, as they should be.

Country which murders innocent people,
how long can you stand,
before corrupted you fall?
Nation – such terror you withstand?...

To Die With Peace
The only way I can die with peace
Is knowing I helped heal the planet
I helped people understand we are all we have 
No supernatural being to save our Earth
Our survival depends on knowing that
To reassure our children With love and fortitude
An environmental and species-friendly
Future will happen 
And
Those who attempt to prevent
A healthy and vibrant future
Will be known denounced
And prosecuted 
For sins against humanity.

At first they doubted she would even live,
Then stated calmly that she would not walk.
This child for whom my life I'd gladly give,
Denounced as one of those who'd never talk.
I covered outraged ears, their words to block.

For those long months she danced beneath my heart.
I had played music for her from the start,
My own keen sense of rhythm to advance.
She listened to my cues and knew her part.
Despite their gloom, this child of mine will dance....

He was the convert 
to Roman Catholicism.
Government spies
denounced him quickly.

Upon arrest he was charged
with treasonable conspiracy,
because he was a catholic priest.
In prison he thought fellow inmates,

“there is no reason
why we should fear
much as to a victorious result,
for JHS has conquered the World”.

He was proud to testify about the truth,
suffered  and gave life  for Christ,
His last words before execution
were: “Jesus, be to me my Saviour”....

Breathing space of time and place. Wishing waiting wanting wantonly. And a fried ham. Jellied eels do not erode in a milky ju. And segment of an oiled asparagus is not very funny for a spoon who arrives in a headdress at a ballroom. To tell a time off is to deny a denounced pink and purple acolyte of a flower . Bud then. Bead then. Braking beaming bombing being bringing basins. Hahahaha and now a chat to a cloth. Hahahaha and a jumping scarf doing the can can dance. Xxxx beautification z...

Freedom of speech is guaranteed 
But this is such a different breed

To tell such bold face lies
Failing the stink test it flies

Lying is not protected free speech
It is a violation beyond the breach

When a lie is exposed a codification
Retracted or denounced without provocation

The right to lie has no know legal protections
The courts should have a say in its detection

Defamation of the truth should be a criminal offense
Its truth and justice that should be given pretense...
