Face of history,
   unmasking the virulent
    action remains same.......

yet countless times, regardless what the contest is about
against all rationality, a diatribe tossed out

A Mere Diatribe

A mere diatribe,
Which is full of silly words;
Where should I start next?

duplicitous diatribe
fountains of false forecasts

Writer Starting Out as a Scribe

Am writer starting out as a scribe,
Who depicted things in my diatribe;
Never late;
Poems create,
Like medical doctor does prescribe.

Listen to poem:

You imbibe the diatribe,
quaffing the jibe for a bribe
to remain silent and acquiescing. 

Struck mute to suit
your unfussed cowardice
in failing to speak up,
when you know the throng is wrong like you
to remain silent, 
a seething flock in shock.

Inertia, inherent, 
in the same inane inaction....

yes, yes
you see, my boy
we are the belts of society
you may hear such a statement and recoil;
for indeed, it is frivolous. but what is a belt?
a woven fiber, which must remain firm and taut,
and exists only to uphold a curtain
shielding from sight shameful and private entities.
entities that govern
all that we know...

a confusion of conundrums, 

with lexicon's of verbs and phrase,

some mixtures of couplets rhyming

plus stanzas of wordy flow, 

the diatribe of tribluation, 

oh..! go on blame it all on me...

But no! i must conclude with this invocation..)

i call to witness poetry...!

My words the result
  of the times I’ve lived
  not a classroom exercise 

My feelings all paid
  with the blood of my fears
  not a rambling diatribe 

My trail has been lined
  with each tear and misstep
  to mark the way ahead 

My life a memory
  telling a tale
   —whose direction my soul has led

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2018)...

My grandma said to me,
Be a warrior for Christianity,
Celebrate our blessed Lord,
His eternal Love, we're awed,
His healing, powerful, strong, 
Our faith does linger on,
Join our good vibes tribe,
Think chirpy, no diatribe,
Pray together is the plan,
Praise Jesus, son of God, son of Man,
I still sense my Grandma's loving hands,
Finally, we can all understand.......

I Have A Muse
By R.e. Taylor

I have a muse
She is with my every breath
My faith in her always continues
And it will until my death
Every word she tells me I will inscribe
I will leave it for everyone to see
Even if it sounds like a diatribe
When I die engrave my best on my block of stone
And place her name beneath the quote
Let everyone know of the muse who never left me alone

The mind was old before it came upon you,
it took your shoes
made you walk upside down
in an inverse eye.

Pray tell, is all well?

Now expostulate your lip tripe
and see if any much broken soul
cares.

Keep your trapdoor mind,
your garmented flapping pockets
so full of the disavowed,
the cancelled out widow weeds
of fake sorrow.
Be not evermore, be not even now.

As always there is much to be taken back....

She reaches,
Uncrontrablly, 
For my Heart.

But this diatribe
is Missing now. 

And unlike you, 
I can't self-repair
Without a set of
Instructions. 

So bold, so feverish, 
I retreat into a coma

Protecting myself
from this poison. 

Not easy and
A full time job, girl. 

So you sat the sunrise
Out this round, but 
I can't agree anymore.

Crushed stones
trampled upon
desire raped
the rose vase broken

Diatribe and gothic screams
songs twirl inside my head
my cold cold face my fortress
a magic cruel horror place
in the dark... I run, run , run
make me wanna die

Cause I am so fed up
all my tears have  run away
hidden in my coffin of spears
spurts of bloody skin 
naked, never good enough
just a scrawny dead torso

make me wanna die

Just a little word with
So many guises 

Incoherent inefficient ineffective reaction
Inconsistent blame 
Vengeful malaise
Conscious disregard 
Blameless resolve
Sanctimonious irksome indifference
Creative revenge 
Wreckage for sport 
Intensive bigotry
Hyperbolic generalisation
Disinterestedness
Complacent autocratic dogma
Crass philistine opportunism
Nimble forgetfulness
Vigorous ignorant diatribe
Impotent nostalgia

All in a day’s work for those
Whose envy knows no bound...
