Your love
Gives
Me release
From this
World of
Pettiness
And greed
In other words
Mama (mami)
You’re
What
I need
All the turns and detours I've taken
To free myself from mean people
Brought me here into your arms
The very realm of pettiness.

arranged
in pettiness
& variety
modish elegance
so
deeply moving
i wake up in the morning
on comes the news
same foolishness and bickering
same pettiness and insanity
same old sh*t different day
shake my head 'cause here we go again !

Floating in emptiness
Cold like ice
All around pettiness
Feels just right
Grip grabs tighter
It's falling apart
Look the outsider
With bleeding heart
Finally it's silent
Lasting for eternity
Finally, finally silence
Looking for harmony
In times as these
and at our age
as we tread gently
towards the twilight
I’m always surprised
we’re not all obsessed
with cleaning up our act
trying our best
to make amends
instead of being
consumed
by greed
and
pettiness

jealousy and pettiness
gossiping and blaming
incohesive with a satisfied life
shallowness, sneakiness and lying
anger and meanness
square corners that do not fit into a world of joy
live your truths
honor your dreams
be your best self
let God take care of the others

Was your ego bruised when you read a comment to me from a supportive poet?
Know this: I couldn't care less if you removed my name from your list. In fact, I prefer that you did because it clarifies your pettiness.
We are on a precipice of War
Yet you spurn the most skilled Knight
Just to stoke your selfish Desire?
You choose pettiness over the Realm
The tempest is Imminent
Yet you let the chief captain disembark
Just to assert your dominance against mutiny?
You choose self-aggrandizement over Lives.
Oh Master!
Passing by the human wrecks of society
Such tremendous inner discontent
My soul doesn't hold an ocean of perfection
yet not deprived nor desolate
To reject such savage greed
But close enough to vibrate my soul
To cease finding myself in a cauldron
of hatred and pettiness
Because the sorrows of this life
are not worthy....
Out of the darkness
arises color burst
Van Gogh starry night sky style
The blues disappear in light burst
on my night sky
Resurrect your kind heart
from the pettiness of discontent
Your lack of talent at an old age
cripples your dry shriveled bean of a heart.
Lub-dub! Lub-dub! Lub-dub!? How many ticks
before the end?
There is a welcome soft sadness
One that tastes of joy and loss
Peaceful contemplation inviting
A road few can find, or cross
It wells from deep within the heart
Spreading, it opens to peace
A lonely openness expanding
In which fear and pettiness cease
And I am lost
A feather borne
Aloft wisps of emotion
Into the day reborn
How can I prove
to you, you hoe,
I care more
for Hell below?
Leave me, go!
I wish you hell.
Please, oh please
fall down a well!
You sicken me
with your false smiles.
The hearts of lovers
in battered piles.
Such pettiness
what crooked lies
And yet to you
men swam like flies.
How can I prove
to you, you *****,
I really want you
in a ditch.

No human justice is without flaw,
no law has suffered strain,
when mercy presides over court
in favor of its name.
The guilty thus be sentenced fair,
justice win the day,
pettiness shall be put to rest,
and evil lose its way.
Cast the first stone, if it must be,
so saith what is right,
but cast it truly, not in rage,
let justice rule, not spite.
Emptiness breeds pettiness
pettiness breeds bitterness
bitterness will motivate
a wickedness manipulates
the self righteous rise
with envious eyes
igniting lies
ruining lives
with empty time
and entitled minds
they hunt to find
and cause decline
emptiness filled with focus
petty hope to see you hopeless
bitterness now unnoticed
they live a life no one noticed
When I say I love you or I miss you;
Don’t echo me out of duty.
My heart is not a script;
You're not required to memorize it.
Let your heart speak when it chooses;
Not when mine cues it.
If you don’t feel it, you don’t have to pretend;
A soft lie cuts deeper than the silence of truth.
And if you do feel it;
Don’t wait for my words to unlock your own.
Affection is not a competition;
And also, I am not that petty.
What if Christmas was every day
Cheerful greetings for everyone
Hope and joy the currency
Ugly pettiness put aside
Smiles on faces young and old
Kindness at every corner
Warm thoughts of
Charity and goodness
No more lonely hearts
What if
What if

they come with offerings, various talents, and mirth
Congregating on holy ground, in middle earth
Their determinations is noted, their unity is keen
No room for pettiness, bullies or anything in the least mean.
They are a united front, seeking spirits from the magic tree
There is an agreed silence, that comforts and gives hope to me
I am a McCormick, from a long line of witches who never cease
Sighs come from my heart upon approach, I am at peace.
I am thinking of moving to old Zanzibar
Where I shall relax and strum my guitar,
Among the fields of cinnamon and clover
Perhaps I shall invite a few friends over,
To while away what is left of the day
With a drink or two from a jar of clay,
And philosophize on the rare idyllic life
Free from rumor, pettiness, and strife,
In the early morning considering the dew
I will spend some time thinking of you.

Pray Without Ceasing
Miracle Man

The world has become filled,
with hatred and division.
Many times we let pettiness,
impair our good vision.
Compromise is a word,
most no longer embrace.
Which leads us full scale,
in our effort to abase.
We find it hard to ask,
so instead, we demand.
Seeking an advantage,
to gain the upper hand.
As a nation we’ve become,
morally bankrupt today.
Prayer changes things,
but too many don’t pray.
