Short Misquote Poems

Trump and Rudy were watching an oater
Thinking up ways to find one more voter
"Hobble on Cassidy
Drives herd mentality
Let's misquote her and find a promoter!"...

Misquote me now,
I meant this,
you understood that,
and told them,
a mix of this and that,
two who heard you,
understood as they could,
they spread various variants,
of this and that,
by the time is was layer three,
hearers had added theirs,hers and his,
to originally floating this and that,
soon it gained space,
and ended up quite distorted,
on the front page....

The fantasy: 
of moving in a circle, 
taking a flower bath. A metaphysical 
misquote. You were losing 
your identity.

There was no abstract folly. 
I will protect all the concrete truths.

To find a lover in the woods.

Fighting my demons 
I start a circuitry of unborn vows.

The onslaughts continue. 
Night comes with all its glory 
to torment me, in absence of moon.

"Men are governed by lines of intellect,
women by curves of emotion" *

or

might I have it incorrect
and really mean to say

that 

men are governed by women's curves,
and women by men's lines.

© Goode Guy 2011-06-17

* misquote of James Joyce actually from
Oscar Wilde's  "An Ideal Husband" -
"A woman's life revolves in curves of emotions. 
It is upon lines of intellect that a man's life progresses."...

Love of Money
Dr. James E. Martin
©March, 2014

Money is the root of all evil
Many try to intelligently say.
They sadly misquote the text
And cause many to from truth turn away.

Money is not the problem you see
But love of the lucrative stuff.
This love drives many these days
To never have enough.

Their constant drive for more
Brings behavior that’s questionable at best.
Morals are often ignored
As greed leads to failing the test....

Though comatose,
 i reflect on those,
grim spirits of disaster,
some do claim Abraham an Moses,
That God is yet their master,

Slaughter cannot be divine,
a bloody karmic pantomime,
the will of God does make it shine,
I will ask in the hereafter.

thank you Mr Maverick's "Insurging".

Don Johnson

God is used to justfy,
selfserving sods misquote the why,
to serve their point of view with passion,
and overstep their rightful ration,
oftimes...
