The freedom has difficult way,
The drumsticks are playing cello,
Totalerance searches for prey
under your blanket, fellow....

What happened to the 'We Are The World' crowd

To be angry and intolerant now

Declivity abstrusely hypocritical...

Threw the tea to the bottom of the sea
Calling themselves The Sons of Liberty
History changing dust up
Over a tax thought unjust
Intolerant of slightest tyranny...

One 

is being sincere 

when 

he is as tolerant or intolerant to others 

as 

he is to himself!

Being indulgent with oneself 

But intolerant with others

One, inevitably, 

Succeeds in imprisoning himself

Within the walls of ruinous hypocrisy!

Epigram 
Beware of tradition it can be harmful and Intolerant
 Hateful of those who do not share your way of life
 New ideas will be met with scorn old ways was best.
 Not true, don`t let convention steal your freedom...

He was poetically intolerant,
she thought herself an Emily
writing sonnets 'how do I love...'
he indulged her feeble whimsies
in light of other finessed talents, 
essentially, larks amidst boudoir's  
uncommonly emboldened expertise...

where there's
a will there's
a way but
far far
away
in a
land

i'm lactose
intolerant
so not a
land of
milk but
definitely
honey

i want to
squeeze
the glue
that oozes
from out you 
and seal it 

and
us with
a kiss...

The Holy See 

Pope Benedict
Hands in his purple dress 
Fed up and tired 
Wonder if God in heaven 
Has not gone and retired too




Prejudices
Who will stand up
And defend the Christians 
A vanishing group 
In the sea of intolerant Islam 
Cowardly is our silence...

People who silence,
are the silent ones...
People who speak,
are the speakers...
Others listen,
they are friendly people...
Many don't want to hear it,
are the intolerant...
Some observe everything,
ponder, describe, exalt...
These are the poets... !... !...

TRUMPETER
Sandpaper comments,
Intolerant, indignant,
White House jihadist.

UN denier,
Mega-tweeter, Putin’s pal,
Friend of common man?

Hair like swan feathers, 
Lips pursed in a brassy kiss,
No friend of Dizzy.

What Reveille wakes
Billionaire soldiers of change.
Your new president....

I am intolerant of people who make a meeting last two extra hours.
Asking inane questions that pertain to only them.
And of the leaders of the meeting who allow them to take over.
Commandeering the rest of us.
Some think I am rude when I leave at the scheduled time.
Half of the other participants follow me out....

My View 
Of The Political Landscape
Tom
7/6/2019

Intolerant political parties,
Are like Bulldogs in a hay barn; 
They don’t consume the hay,
But won’t allow the other to eat it either.

They’re tenacious in spirit,
Busy spinning some favorable yarn,
And the party occupying the White House,
Never seems to get a breather.

Greed feeds the cliché: nice guys finish last,
there is little appetite for the truth.

And do-gooders are constantly harassed,
a lesson taught to intolerant youth.

Facing a future anchored in the past,
folks are cruel, arrogant, and uncouth.

Yet, their conscience, every once in a while,
assigns a moral value to a smile....

Always in euphoria, swaggering in conceit,
I see myself absorbed in work and ideals.

Embedded in cultured mind frame,
Starve myself for the epicurean feast,
I stand prejudiced with excessive self esteem,


Saying goodbye to intolerant stance,
I get off my high horse,
Tune myself to unpretentious attitude !!

Big red letters taunt the girl with the pink hair and nails
She can not leave
She can not stay
She just wants to go away
But trapped like a mouse in a maze 
She'll never find the cheese
She isn't allowed to eat it anyway
She is lactose intolerant
Bitter feelings make her face sour
She is loud in her discontent
She brings about her own disgrace
She loses her dignity
No reprieve, no trace...

Hello, World
I dream to someday
Escape, evade, emerge
from this rock I call
'Home'
To leave those who
are narrow-minded,
intolerant, and ignorant
The beach was never
my backyard
Lying in a hammock,
shaded by palm trees
was never an anamnesis
Nor do I recall
swimming with dolphins
in the crystal blue brine
When I come of age ,
I will getaway
pack my bags in a heartbeat
And before you shed
a tear, remember
that I was never
a part of this island...

Headlong you rush towards your 
perceived, intended destination.
Eager to reach the journey's end.

Forgetful of an indifferent grave that 
awaits with a cold embrace of dirt
offering scant, uneasy comfort.

Speeding, racing, hurtling through
the hours, days, months, years –
inexorably pursued by relentless time.

Oh, intolerant, weak creature!
How you are haunted by this 
undeniability:

Dying 
You are, from the moment of your
birth....

The tragedy of an unwritten life

That no quill of scribe can unveil

Though seed was sown stands yet unknown

With no legacy to foretell

Plagued by a comedy of errors

A heart and soul that seeks mending

No dramatic page on this cosmic stage

In a play that's never ending 

Surrounded by an intolerant cast

Sounds of silence echoes through the hall

Still they deeply bow with sorrowed brow

But not one shout for a curtain call

a neat freak is compulsive
excessive and obsessed
their day revolves around cleaning

a neat freak has a one-track mind
and will not budge their focus
their one true friend is bleach

a neat freak disinfects all day
intolerant to imperfection
time and effort never a problem

a neat freak will not rest 
till every thing's in order
and every surface shines

let's not mince words
a neat freak is maniacal
and a neat freak i am not

I hate driving
I hate what it does to me
I strive to be better
And behave courteously

But the second
The car door slams
I feel myself change
Into a different man

I lose my communication skills
Speaking in gestures
Or coded messages on the horn
That don’t relieve the pressure

Driving makes me intolerant
Impatient and aggressive
It makes me angry
Selfish and abusive

I hate driving
I hate what it does to me
It fills me with rage
For every thing I see...

Intolerant toward a flaw,
more oft than not, we quote the law
and so burn the witch at the stake,
whilst love weeps for love, for love’s sake,
that if we peep into our past,
at our conduct, we’ll be aghast
but when it comes to our own soul,
we call to God to make us whole,
with a gentle slap on our wrist,
letting us enjoy our life tryst
but right is right and wrong is wrong;
conceded yet take all along,
that at end of days, we may smile,
since love never goes out of style....
