Your enforced expectations

In selfish desires to mold
Their existence to your own

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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

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.

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.

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

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

Verse
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 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.

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.

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 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

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

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

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

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.

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 !

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.
