Selfish Desires

Feeling abandoned
Your enforced expectations
Got you entangled
In selfish desires to mold
Their existence to your own

Thank Him For Mercy

With mercy and patience He rules over all
    If not, if strict justice He enforced

  The world, everyone and everything
    in it, would totter and fall

Stereotype Enforced By a Storm

While I appreciate the vacation
it would have been better if it were paid.
Funds lessened by nature’s aggravation,
lends credence to the starved artist charade.

Money Box

Did you ever been a money box,
Were you forced to place money in?
I wanted to buy lollies, you see,
Or even a Mad magazine,
All enforced savings, 
In the old money tins.

Time

The ceaseless march of all humanity,
the enforced advancement never-ending,
stretching far beyond human memory,
a straight line never bending,
an entity with impossible immortality.

Damn Alarm Clock

My alarm went off in the middle of the night I set it for 8:00 what an annoying device A penalty should be enforced Perhaps an action in the courts Preventing it from reoccurring, that would be nice

Bigamy's Troth

Being, becoming,
though different the same

All motion reflexive,
where time rules the game

Being, becoming,
whose vow is enforced

When married to both
—refusing divorce

Elif Perineck

Elif Perineck had no frown
When freed from her enforced lockdown
So alone at three
And could not get free
Her fortitude deserves a crown!*

* 3-year-old Elif survived 65-hours 
imprisoned all alone in earthquake rubble

The Cruelest Prisons

Impenetrable fortresses built from the many stones of regret, 
re enforced with the concrete mistakes we can never forget.
Confined within these walls only your guilt shall dwell.
The cruelest prisons are the ones that we build for ourselves.

God Switch

King upon a cross, 
And forgotten gods displaced. 
Former ways made false, 
And new doctrines are embraced, 
Or enforced by sword and mace. 

Jesus was a Jew, 
But his features were defaced. 
Eyes were painted blue; 
Olive skin had been replaced, 
By the hue of my own race.

Lockdown Lesson I Could Have Done Without Slam

I thought i was happiest being single
on my own 

Could count my friends on my thumb

Loved people hated company

But after lockdown now i am not so sure

I now crave what i never actually missed

Separation and distancing suited me just fine

When it was a personal choice

Not ENFORCED

Interruptions

a change
     of atmosphere
enforced..
          perhaps
but premature:
a matter
    of consequence
disturbing
the natural
        order,
a nod
    of recognition
     to the 
              past,
a joyride
            beyond
the
instinctive
an
    appetite
for the
     modest and
simple life

Chief Manuelito

Watching the slow journey of his people
leaving their Navajo land
sad Manuelito

He sits tall astride his steed, their leader
saddened by the enforced move
new settlement awaits

Haastin Ch'il Haajiní,* new name
given him by his people
Died of measle virus


•	 Sir Black Reed.   Named after the place amongst the black reeds

Time Last Long In Portugal

Time lasts long in Portugal

Got up early had a shower and close shave
Put a white shirt on, bank people like it when
Their clients look prosperous.
My bank is in a nearby town I followed
The coast road has fewer cars a strict speed
The limit is vigorously enforced.
The bank was closed.
A man told me banks are shut on Sundays.

Peculiar As Repeated

Some might say unexpected disruption on the pace.
Peculiar to indivual who became delirious.
Some might say rules enforced their circumstances.
Hope in despair creates leaders of aloof nation.
Kill its son in thousands without calling it a massacre.

Justifiable

Swift is the punishment for my injustice
Is this retribution worth the deed
The body shatters, mind collapses
Have I not only enforced what Satan made inevitable
For I have nothing left to give, only to take
My heart has stopped yet it still burns
Wickedness, the embodiment of all who live, seems there is no escape though I lie dead

Quarantine Blues

quarantine blues

Quarantine such an ugly word
Unlike any other 
All at home 
Regardless of desires
No where to go 
That is the worst part of it 
In fact enforced staying at home
Not to bad
Especially I have you by my side 

Blues come over me 
Looking out the window
Unable to go out 
Everyone everybody afraid 
Sums up my fearful fears

Lured Into Her Lair

He was lured into her lair By her mesmerizing stare And while he was in there She issued him a dare She dared him to sit still While she enforced on him her will Promising a thrill Never offered by another girl He wasn’t really sure If he should bite into her lure Then he heard the locking door And was heard from never more

My Statue of Liberty

I once behaved. Followed all the rules. Understood what was "normal". My parents taught this, teachers demanded this, principals enforced this. Ministers expected it, society reinforced it, friends tested it, professors challenged it.
Then, poetry became my statue of liberty.

following the rules and behaving normally no longer appeals

2020

The year which made me pen negativity
The year which seized all our activities
The year which I hate the most
The year that had nothing to boast
The year which enforced face masks
The year that ripped up fake masks
The year that I wish to erase
The year that bestowed no grace
The year which made me lose hope in prayers
The year which granted me nothing but tears

The Black Silence

This is the story that should not be told
And it was not told ever
Till the time it mattered
Now that they have escaped in corners safe
This comes out as history on a cuppa at café
They dug
Buried
Filled
Graved
Quietened
Bribed
Wined
Dined
And womanized
To keep it under wraps
Many wanted to spill
They even got hurt or killed
Silence was kept and enforced
Black it was periphery to core.

The Real Robin Hood

Robin hood went  a thieving  as legend said he should 
But Little John his henchman knew he wasn't up to any good
Will scarlet ran protection  
Maid Marian hired out girls 
friar tuck he made the whiskey   
And the merry men enforced the law 
Now about this business of giving to the poor
Robin was a Tory so smiled and said he would 
but secretly he spent his loot on woman wine and doing no good !

Fair Parenting Practices

Readily welcomed children who are taught basic manners and respect are delightful to have around.

Their heartfelt “please” and genuine “thank you”s and honest “I’m sorry”’s go a long way I have
often found.

Enforced rules that make sense, and fair parenting practices will help you get this campaign onto the mound.

Discuss best practices with your children’s other caregivers before your neonate hits the ground.
