Short Discrepancies Poems

Joys of married life outweigh minor discrepancies
Such as throwing pots and pans or other irregularities
Must turn a blind eye
As harmful stuff flies by
It all part of the charm, ignore the unavoidable peculiarities...

The joys of married life far outweigh any minor discrepancies
Such as throwing pots and pans or other minor irregularities
Must turn a blind eye
As dangerous stuff flies by
It all part of the charm, ignore the unavoidable peculiarities...

an explorer--trudging through the here and now
picking up what works and stowing it in my knapsack
tossing away the discrepancies of what doesn't

a coward--wondering about what might have been
backpack empty except for dreams
that never see the light of day...

Mystery rises up to real persecution.
Allowing discrepancies to spread confusion,
Darkness inhibits mistakes, which infuriates.
Now blame turns into irrelevant clues.
Exemplifying jealousy and hatred incriminates.
Sending thoughts of blind truth can destroy.
Suddenly the travels end, prejudice kills....

No, such a simplistic word
Two letters, one syllable and one meaning
Yet you find great struggles in iterating said word.
You say its opposite constantly without reticent 
Without discrepancies or cloistered callousness.
For this, they expect yes and nothing more
For this, they take advantage of 'it'; of you. 

Say No....

I keep secrets 
like other old people 
always do 

In my brown eyes, they borne 
the stirs and sighs of all the things 
I was entrusted, yet today…

this great excitement I felt 
betrays my eyes, revealing 
the discrepancies of my shadow

as I tried to snatch the trust 
of a bird, playing “love me or love me not”  
‘neath the healing mango tree...

Nneka (Mother is supreme)

My precursor with nature 
From the yolk of her embryo
I was fermented 
Entwined in the warm enclave of her cyst
Out of her fountain of love
She nurtured me
Queen mother
The seasoned bone of my back
The shelter over my head
Whose large, black eyes immune me
From the discrepancies of morning
Love, kindness are your first and middle names
King mother,
I yearn to be recycled in the metamorphosis of your cyst!...

As you wait
for a turn of fate
to get things
rolling again

You pass the time
listening to music
while pondering
transformations solidified

into transparent discrepancies
relinquished by distinguished
personifications that are truly amazing.
You drift through

happy circumferences
as you smile,
gaze into the distance
of truthful overtones

that are resurrected
with the ease
of a twist of justifications
dampening your quest....

There must be
a meeting of personalities,
a synchronization of Souls,
lots of the same ground
for 2 people
to become a couple
Love doesn't mesh
with the eyes
but with the mind.
Intelligence is the key
You must have
common interests, likes
Nowadays even
political views to
avoid discrepancies
making the relationship
go smooth, effortless
Not to say that
attractiveness doesn't matter
but is a part of a 
combination of the whole...

It's a term coined
for the times

propelled by actions
ceremoniously indulged

whimsically by the populace.
It's growing daily,

masses in tune
bubbling to surface

rife with rebellion.
Senseless conventions

imposed by the machine,
discrepancies enlightened

with blinding rays
of rationality

superimposed upon circumstances.
Keeping up the fight

against all odds
baffling to mindfulness

as they scramble to react
to tides of mistrust....

u think u have the answers
because someone else tells you so

hypocrisy has many forms
I'll meet you half-way

a book is just that
don't let it be the end all

when discrepancies arise
don't be afraid to care

we can talk
and discuss

about the way the world should be
but please don't shut me out
of what could be

in the end there is an answer
no human has the key
but when i look you in the eyes
don't ever try and tell me 
what should never be...

we tried time

for many of our own discrepancies
there is not enough we bellowed
from cave to condominium
grabbed disrespectfully its minutest
portion and dragged it to court.

there is the job lined up, 
on the line or maybe in line 
the latest craze to master
 
the kinder need camp
planning for the future 
and must keep up with those Jones
whom ever they may be
no one has ever found them, yet.

untouched time moved on
as it always will
pitying we poor folks....

Why do the bells still toll
For such senseless deaths as these?
Us brothers fighting wars
Over vain discrepancies.

Why do the people cheer
Only when their sons come home?
No cheers when peace is met,
Solely when we conquer Rome.

Why do our bullets pierce
Every heart that yearns to beat?
Since when was life reduced
To a lesser shell of meat?

Why do we never learn,
Despite pleas from shattered souls,
To lay our weapons down
Lest these bells persist their tolls…

You may think it's unique
That it's just
happened to you
at the moment

But it has all been done before
Anything that you imagine
has already taken place
It's nothing knew

It may seem
like it's a catastrophe
or that it's the greatest
thing that ever occurred

This is just an illusion
an illumination of discrepancies
fostered by time and space
bolstered by the relevancies

of disinterested specimens
that circulate through
the time portals
of everyday situations...
