A King


You can't be king
Until you have been
Taught to hurt
Lectured to steal
Tutored to kill
Skilled to heal.

Premium Member Class Should Be

Class
should be stimulating and fun
a place where students get things done
  not soporific 
  just -- terrific!

     Class 
should let students explore
the universe of knowledge
more ... and more ... and more
  Not sit and be lectured to
  By some self-appointed guru

Lectured Over

lectured 
over
one 
thing or 
another 
never 
seemed
to be 
pleased 
no matter 
how 
hard one 
tried 
blamed for 
actions 
blamed for 
in-actions
guilt trip placed 
upon the heart 
no matter what 
was said or done 
to try and remedy 
the perceived 
current state 
of affairs

Premium Member Ask Twice For Ice

At lunch, I wanted a simple iced tea
But a tea with ice was not meant to be
The glass, smoothly tall
Held no cubes at all
Where all my ice went, was a mystery!

The waitress (who was not very nice)
Lectured, my request was imprecise
You must specify
For ice to supply
Next time, order your iced tea with ice!

Hope

Amidst a wealth of hate,
I cursed he dat made me wait.
For life had taken it all away...
Leaving me to be led astray.
Nature lectured me once again,
Reminding me of life's one gift,
A force that still drove life.
Grace remained strong in me
Lifting me up to see a brighter picture,
Awakening a power that couldn't be matched...Awakening HOPE.

Premium Member And Make It a L-O-O-O-O-N-G One

As POTUS he fled from Afghanistan
     abandoning our troops in the sand 

   As VEEP he kowtowed to the Mullahs
     sent billions to the sponsors of Hamas and Hezbollah

   In Jerusalem today he lectured the Jews
     when fighting a war for survival what to do

   Israelis listened politely, perfunctorily clapped
     wishing the POTUS would go take a nap

Moon

The train headed for the moon.
Despair was a station
where love stood in attention.

I need to be lectured
more on the need for vitamins
than on testaments.

Where did they go?
Here is the moon.
A moon a day keeps despair away.
Don’t moan on a hartal day.

Note: Hartal is a general closure usually imposed in India by political parties as a mark of protest against the government.

Premium Member The Druggie Down the Street

The “Druggie” Down The Street By: Miracle Man 4/21/2022 Oft times the thoughts he’d have caused him to fret, and he’d sit ‘mongst wandering thoughts in deep regret. But things long since passed he could not change, so facts of these occurrences he’d always rearrange. I lectured him on truthfulness and then he’d never later deny, the response I got was, “I guess some people just like to lie”

Premium Member Suspiciously Chill

I felt my brain go floating air
It wandered off without a care
It tried to fight a folding chair
Then claimed it saw a cosmic bear
It told my fridge to stay right there
And bowed before a houseplants glare
It swore my shoes could walk nowhere
Then lectured crumbs on proper fare
It yelled im fine to empty stair
It blamed the wall for sudden scare
It promised brilliance bold and rare
Then fell asleep mid thought I swear

Premium Member Gambling

Sometimes looking back
can be step forward -- 
being certain of where not
to return -- paths of experience
already traveled.  Grass-less ruts
heavily trafficked by self and
loser others -- I search for detours, 
missed games of chance -- 

though lectured long and wide
on the pitfalls of gambling...God, 
our perfect example!~ His life
and death wager of Free Will...

What greater stake than a Soul?

Each of us given one Gambit
of Time!?

Premium Member Disenchantment, a London Lecture in 1933

Jung lectured of dogma
its strangling of the symbol
the Medieval melted with magma
doubt was born, its smile twinkled
As monks wrote songs of Poliphile

Seeking soul from the external
in the Enlightened world,
nothing seems to be real
For eons our ancestors
were certain of the eternal

Is the light worth its weight?
Pain now lifted by pharmaceuticals
A flock who just can't walk straight
Now we live in plight or we are
simply deemed neurotypical..

Let Go

The time spent is beyond beautiful 
Though it's sometimes never resourceful 
Hoping it not to be a calamitous rendition  
Since we come together without a single intention 


It's time to let go
Focus my thoughts on achieving my goal 
Having the incite its not going to be easy
Giving zero tolerance to idleness always want to be busy


Experience lectured me in a hard way
Given no chance to smile for a single day
Making correct my very BUT
Shedding off the garment covered with dot
