to bare myself publicly
in style and essence
diving into the deep end
to dwell in a new realm - plunge!

in this world
no words to compare to this
secretly, publicly, silently
in utterance, in writing

This word is LOVE

Rock Hardon just called a staff meeting
To hear a complaint about cheating 
Our Xerox machine
Could not be wiped clean
So privates were publicly sheeting

Garbage Bins

Garbage Bins

I recommend garbage bins outside to 
be spanked, but ...
not publicly. Why? Because 
they stink! Roaches and 
blow flies might 
uphold, defend that action of 
spanking.


Bragger Who Would Stagger

Bragger Who Would Stagger

Total amount of sins was enough to stagger;
About them Trump was boaster and bragger;
Publicly profane;
Hard to explain;
Destined for disaster yet he still did swagger.

Premium Member Pleasure Palace Princesses Pancake Peacock and Powerhouse Pig

Pretty pancake peacock pointedly persuaded powerhouse pig
To publicly plan porcupine’s playful pink planetary probability placement.

Porky plebes who placated porcupines, poking peacock’s replacement.

IF LOVE HAD EARS

If love
had ears
to listen its name
 "Love " 
Whenever some folks 
call it out 
loudly,
Love could be
exposing some 
people publicly.
Oh! 
Yahweh God 
Can you give
Love 
ears once? 
Just make 
this miracle 
For more 
lovers and hypocrites 
on earth.

Premium Member Heartbleeds Love-

What’s that my love;
As such so alone;
Blood runs cold hearted;
Publicly shunned;

Heart bleeds love;
Pumping blood;
Sadden woos;
Spiritual blows;
Publicly shunned;

Heart bleeds love;

Premium Member Evil

People, at least in the modern world,
Have trouble even accepting 
The existence of evil in this world.

But what is the essence of evil 
If not the enslavement of others?
And all around we see that happening
Privately, publicly, and
Even within our own minds.

The Incompatible

They would murderously fight in bed, 
Prompting the question 'why did they wed?'
Actively blowing away the guy's money, 
And suddenly ceased to call him 'Honey'
Publicly vowing to dissipate his income, 
All his efforts at leverage a bunkum
Now, he's striving to the evil way chart, 
And ceaselessly trying to break her heart.

Premium Member A Double Life

No one knew that Mavis was a stripper,
They thought she worked at Tesco on the till.
Most folk knew her since she was a nipper,
No one knew that Mavis was a stripper.
A woman always cheerful and chipper,
She twirled her tassels publicly, but still
No one knew that Mavis was a stripper,
They thought she worked at Tesco on the till.

She twirled her tassels publicly, but still
No one knew that Mavis was a stripper,
They thought she worked at Tesco on the till.

Curse Not Anyone

C-urse not anyone
H-arshly and publicly; 
E-vil words wound the heart, sharing and giving no glee.

R-emain calm and composed, 
E-radicate the cruel criticism; 
G-ood remarks influence friends
A-nd snatch people from dim.
D-enounce not the weak for the wrong that they've done; 
O-n the twenty-sixth of September, curse not anyone.

Public Places

Alone, yet in a zone, consumed by it all. People forget, as if, they are human at all. Voices, making choices, spoken without thought. People regret, saying or displaying, they are human at all. Publicly, they whisper. As if the place would forget. Privately, they pray, for redemption, being human with faults.

When One Is Rude

I maintain we are rude
Not only when our manners are crude, 
Determinedly wolf down our food,
Our dressing hopelessly nude,
Publicly start a feud,
Into others affairs intrude,
Keep laughing as others brood
But also when others are in a meditative mood
And have up stood
And we are still sitting down
Like one waiting for a cup of coffee, chocolate brown!

Kind Questions

How do you feel 
When a person is asked politely
And claim loudly 
As if as he "she" was insulted publicly? 
Ask kindly: 
Can you stop racism please? 
Can you stop tribalism  please? 
Can you stop antagonism please? 
Can you stop xenophobia please? 
Can you stop injustice please? 

Polite question, 
Do you know how much you are loved?

Premium Member Just Walk Away

It’s never too later
To just walk away
You can do it quietly and alone
Or publicly as part of a movement.
When is it time?
When you find yourself isolated
From those you called friends and colleagues
As they seem to drift ever further off
Into far left field, and on out beyond
Into the truly dark and tangled weeds.
And what do you gain?
Freedom.

Premium Member Wrongly Convicted

Accused publicly
Dragged through the mud
Stabbed in the heart
Pinned to the cross
Humiliated defaced
Forsaken on my own
No one to take my part
Or even listen to my side
I may as well be mute
The verdict has been cast
Everyone is satisfied
Except me voiceless faceless me
I’ve been thrown under the bus
They’ve gotten rid of me

My Reply - Make Their Jaws Drop Contest

This dance says it all, hatred and anger, 
Because Every Breath You Take I’ll stare, 
I’ll sing it while i dance so you remember, 
That before you sexually abuse, you tare. 

Tare into yourself if you have to, go on, 
Accept humiliation privately or else suffer, 
Derision publicly with glares from everyone, 
Who put me up somewhat with their confer.

Premium Member Publicly Shamed, Allegedly Framed

It's not my fault I'm not to blame You have no proof I will show no shame I am a father of four And you accuse me of this I'm internally destroyed To get your wish Figures and statistics For crimes you can't solve Let's pick on the innocent Your conscience resolved To hell with my future As you walk away Another bent system And I am your play

Premium Member Wedding poem Celebrating Your Love

We are here today to celebrate
The love you so obviously share,
A love you wish to formalise
And publicly declare.

A couple truly meant for each other,
A couple truly meant to be,
A couple whose friends and family,
We are very proud to be.

We hope your happiness continues,
That you have much more in store,
We hope the memories made today
Will stay with you - forever more.

Premium Member Other Names

On cool, starry, fall, indigo-blue night walks, it’s so beautiful that it’s hard to believe we’re mid-catastrophe.

That sunrise will dawn on countrymen whose heavy burdens our national leaders won’t even publicly discuss much less address.

File hope under other names - we need changes and new leadership - hey, you adults - can we please just try a government of concerned professionals?
