marsupials are just mammals
pity duplicity
speech whenever trammeled
surceases clarity
I see the significance
after all
I finally feel the pain
of it all
as I drive by
and
count
the
marching
headstones
Every
Single
Day
of your
duplicity
NEVER FORGET BENGHAZI
Policy makers
objectives verses orders
Field duplicity
A slippery slope
of alleged interventions
RECALL...BENGHAZI!!

Enough lies and vicious duplicity.
Someone please bring back times of decency.
Good ol' fashioned civilized dialogue.

A way of life
In the world of man, men’s duplicity.
In the world of man, men’s complicity.
In the world of man, men’s felicity.
There – the soul of man – is a mystery ?

a carnelian
crystal flow reflects sunset
blanket of white peace
woody specters dot
painted skies on horizon
icy riverbank
crayola color
blending in duplicity
harmonic nature
A sharp, harrowing burden
Fashions mirrors of fear
Virgin pages designed
From white nothingness
Tattooed by black teeth
Eyes everywhere
Bold, brave, and daring
To decode the freakish nature
Ascending from duplicity
Bound by preconceptions of what is and what cannot be,
we condemn and deny life's inherent duplicity,
that birds sing the songs of God is truly reality
and our thoughts and dreams take flight like leaves from an autumn tree.
He swallowed my heart with a greedy smile
and the world began to bend
Although I sensed an emptiness
He swore he was my friend
So I parted with a sigh
and He smiled to himself
while picturing my timid heart
upon his trophy shelf
In duplicity of white death
exiled from clay
I was sinking in black words.
Absence of truth was absolute
in plowed and harrowed thoughts
of inner sleep,
building my attachment to fear,
exploring the nothingness
of truth.
Satish Verma
Form:
Dappled daunting dandy
deft decentralizing defender
deistic delphian deniar
deliverable deflationary determinist
deny defer delude deflect
divisive dissentious dualism
dogmatic dumbstruck duplicity
dyspneic democratic disillusioned

The duplicity of solitude,
— thinker and thought
The lies we tell ourselves,
hoping never to get caught
In darkness, living behind walls
that conceal
Our thoughts from our feelings,
—masquerading as real
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2011)
This is not as good as it gets;
You needle and it stimulates,
joy your hard nose eliminates;
Screw your limits; Screw your limits;
Don’t ask for attention from me,
I’m something you don’t care to see;
What is the new song gonna be?
Duplicity, Duplicity.
Pandering both sides against the middle,
duplicity won the day
To neither stand nor then be chased,
the coward has his way
Stealing the peace, betraying the war,
to live is then to die
The one from the many, the many now lost
—shame the binding tie
(Ronald McDonald House: June, 2021)
From Lenin to Stalin
Khrushchev to Gorbachev
The USSR tried to
choke the West off
Now with Vladimir Putin
Russia's back and shootin'
Masters of duplicity
Executions through toxicity

Formed from duplicity and hypocrisy;
A falsehood foundation for democracy.
Cognitive dissonance spurred into minds;
Attitudes, beliefs, and behavior blinds.
Exposed conflicting ideas and emotions;
While fabricating illogical devotions.
Psychiatry claim to prevent, but obstruct;
As an inhuman money making construct.
Webbed lip toadies,
their tongues do do stink of lies
As they leapfrog from excrement places
that do do attract flies
Brown tongue toadies,
their sticky web of dysentery deceit
stinks of foul breath duplicity
For they do do double dip in
toilet ponds of diaphragm dishonesty
Croak manure truth be 100-proof landfill speech
The scarcity that really utters
above all others
is duplicity upset
DARKNESS
by how thoroughgoing dirty
I saw the errors of my eye ways
I mourn the bad decisions made
keeping the light out my eyes
absence is in its way
present of mankind...Darkness Reigns

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
"On the coasts of compromise,
consider the cost."
Poet
Squalls were forecast
at last evening's meeting;
sudden gusts of duplicity directed decisions.
My wild frenzy wanes, passes now
as I pray.
Today, back at work
Jesus' spirit within my soul
restages me with truth to defeat divisions
as I work to lower temperatures.
Pardon’s plea
There’re merits to simplicity!
It’s void of dark duplicity,
It’s lacking eccentricity
In its mundane basicity.
Complexity, troublesome trait,
Catchy, sophisticated bait,
Morphs into agitated state -
Perplexity where nothing’s straight.
My ex and I were simply screwed
By absence of similitude.
Me being a simplistic dude,
Irreconcilable, I conclude!
EASTER
May that great, Christ spirit within, be risen?
Let it escape the clutches of our heart’s prison.
Let it not come from the hypocrisy of organized religion
but from a pure, innocent, free soul – let it be freely given.
Let it not come from duplicity, but from the uncontaminated heart
where the Christ spirit, the Christ philosophy within, should start.

I’m adjusting fixed positions
On opinions and deductions
From now on breathing other airs
I have a stack of fresh instructions
I let go of once held handle bars
Veering off from straight line steering
Riding curves requiring nerves
Whilst watching stances disappearing
Chancers wait to try it on
Consider risk-maintaining stakes
Ask what can we afford to lose
Whilst still expecting lucky breaks
Lost
In a tangle of thoughts
Briar thick thorny thoughts
Daring me to venture further
A sweet scent of roses
Bidding me rest, relax
Let the thoughts come to you
For they seek
The playground of your mind
Long for the challenge
Of confusion’s conundrum
Sneer at the strict interpretation
Of simplicity’s duplicity
Wait for the flowers of thought
To bloom
Knowing that their beauty
Will soon be
Lost
Give not your heart to hasty pleas
Resist lips of slick, pretty lies
Who weave duplicity and tease
Value yourself; you are the prize
Who is not won by shallow tries
Sugary words are spun of air
The blood of effort is more rare
Take careful measure of what grows
For the soil, thin or rich, will bear
Which is the weed, and which, the rose.

Some never find wrongdoing
in one of their own
no matter the proof shown
or how many whistles are blown
they circle the wagons close ranks
deny any and all culpability
then compound the issue
by defending duplicity with verbal hostility
but Detective Inspector Quasimodo
could solve a crime before lunch
he'd secure the scene collect clues examine the evidence
and would bust the culprit just on a hunch
