Purples are violet.

but about who has the power

to dictate what’s right

A good friend,
Is like a trend.
That none can explicate,
But can only be dictate.
They are like psalms,
Graced with lovely harms.

  with a major message for today

Never let big government dictate terms
  even when it comes to tiny germs...

And whose morals do you need
To dictate your life?
Live by your own rules,
And do whatever you want
To do with your life!...

Black white or in-between
We're all part of this great big scene
Kids are unbiased
Unaware what's ahead
Early years dictate what's routine...

Words fail to dictate
                                            the feeling of thirst for love
                                              loved one's no response...

i must take control
of myself
for you and no other
will dictate me no longer

you are not allowed
to turn me inside out for your pleasure
you cannot
break me again

Better to slip through
than run over

Better to finesse
than to force

Better to persuade 
than to dictate

Discretion
—all meaning discoursed

Every day moves differently.
Quietly ebbing and flowing,
Under the guidance of time,
Invigorating growth even when
Neutral systems dictate cell death.
Only to show greater maturity, whether
Xeric or soggy – grow!...

our heart feels
incomplete 
so we strive

senses dictate
we look outward
deluded soul
finds no solace

we then turn inward
melding with silence
the false drops away
essence of presence
shines as living light...

I'm not a preachy schoolmaster
Armed with various pens and a duster;
And I'm not the Almighty to dictate 
About wrong and right in human state,
But this I can tell with ample ease:
That no man has a license to do whatever they please!...

It is not for us, to dictate nature
it is nature, that should dictate us

It is not for us, to make people greedy
it is the greedy, that destroy our future

It is not for us, to make all that money
it is money, that makes as so needy...

Disarm dirty bastards

Disown disparity

Disempower Wall Street

Disavow the dictate

Demi God of money

Dollars are the diners

Disparaging the poor

All those years
Of sucking leaves
In a house of owls

Will not break the mask
Stone-lipped you
Dictate the stairs

Silence as the
Broken mill of dust.
Wordless, dry 

And all foured
Reach the landing;
So you have come home then ?...

Don't touch me!
For if you do you might feel.

Don't listen to me!
For if you do you might hear.

Don't look at me
in the eyes
for if you do you might
have the compulsion to question
what feels and sounds good.

radical stuff, yeah?...

How ca I retire
So soon ?
How can I rest
Hastily ?
I am not drowsy
Nor am I fatigued.
I dictate
Stubbornly
To silence death
I resist
To escape the doom.
Away from the grave
I vamoose
Away from the edge
I  whizz.

If I was sworn in as the
President
I could dictate how Our
money's spent
And, figure out where the
Economy went
How in the Problem, could
be put a dent
While determining which Cadillac
has too much tint
As I, on up-scaling the whole world,
would be bent...

Music is the mood in your bones
Keep it rolling like the stones
Vibrations that direct the soul
Sensations to dictate your role
Melody to make you feel at home
Rhythm for making the mind roam
Chorus of a heart that you know
Put yourself into your own flow...

In the sun you dictate the pace, 
confining me to thick night;  
still you are trampling on my tail.
Cruel man i kiss your heel.
Coyote strolls not in the  day,
just man wanders not at night.

Listen to poem:

Like tyrant Trojans
pandemic prophets proclaim…
Habitual horrid hosts
the wolf seeds the lamb,
Fallacious fevers encroach-
masters of mayhem dictate.

In a defining lust,

two souls entwine,

to join together,

where ecstacy bides,

and the temple divaricates,

thy love radiates,

their lust permiates,

as the emotions dictate,

the greatest passion resides,

where the temple furcates,

and those two hearts collate,

together forevermore!

The First Lady wants us all to lose weight

     Have you seen her from the stern as of late

          Eat smaller portions says she

               Well here is my repartee

                    Heed thine own advice before you dictate
