Short Misrepresentation Poems

Misrepresentation of life
In constricting colors
They tell a different story
That my ears prefer to hear
You’re sweeping strokes across
A paper waiting to be filled
And you’re dedicating it to me...

Lines go vertical
To make her appear something
That she is not
Don’t be fooled
By her misrepresentation
I know what lies beneath
A heart is there somewhere
And if you cannot see it
Look harder
Behind the jailhouse bars
I see compassion...

An obvious misrepresentation
Nearly cancelled the large celebration
Causing his second cousin a huge frustration
We could give you a quick demonstration
If you agree to call the hospital administration
To give him apt apologies from our family delegation...

What no sugar means
Is that it’s sugar free
For a diabetic
It’s very important
But when something
That’s supposed to be
Sugar free has sweetener
Inside, like fructose or
Sweet and low, it’s 
A misrepresentation of
A sugar free product, plus
It’s bad for diabetics

many things 
have became 
overlooked over 
time 
many things 
have been 
overshadowed 
covered with 
resentments stain
years of misunderstandings 
years of misrepresentation
years of missteps 
years of unmended mistakes
have all accumulated 
a top one another to 
create this valley of 
emotional estrangement...

Does it bring you great joy
To give me so much pain 
From the vows I took 
That gave me your last name 
A misrepresentation of a guarantee
Is simply contrary to one’s belief 
And yet you keep gorging 
My life with debris 
What a confinement space 
You have me in 
This sage seems to be never-ending 
The only thing left for us to do 
Is to part ways 
And find someone brand new...

Bitterness sufficiently in my soul
Lack of tolerance for ignorance, and ineptitude
Self-centered in nature uncovers hidden ulterior motives
A sad reality for the world
Lack of trust
Lack of Honesty
Lack of Genuine kindness
How do we survive?
Should we have faith when deception and misrepresentation are everywhere?
Can we overcome doubt and disbelief in the human race?
Without a glimmer of hopefulness
Who knows what the future will bring?...

I once met a man of great integrity.  He was timeless,
with no constraints, restrictions or illusions.  He was to
be as seen, no distortions, with perceptual consistency, 
without misrepresentation or delusion, guiltless, forthright,
sincere, candid, open, trusted, honorable, square, just,
upright, fair genuine, straightforward and frank. He really
was an all-round good guy.  Funny though, for the life
of me, I just can't seem to remember his name......

Are you who you say you are
Or is it just a ruse
Who are our leaders
In literal abuse?
 
In a competitive world
As we share our work
Do we waste our time
In this murky quirk
 
There are angels and demons
Who hide among us
They stand by our shoulders
Their front, as they discuss us
 
Is it deliberation
They read us by chance
Or misrepresentation
They just give us a glance
 
Questions need answers
Reads need to be right
Equality breeds parity
It's either black or white...
