Short Punishments Poems

Okay, for my rant, if you want, punish me
I may feel your love and your heart’s anger
Me, like Jacob, is your own true son, daddy
With his punishments, he became stronger...

The afflictions that we may face in life are not to be seen as punishments

But as valuable lessons to be learned by all of those who wisdom seek!

They broke their pride upon a wheel
As envy froze in ice
Fire and brimstone smothered lust
Gluttons swallowed toads and mice-
Anger was dismemberedv alive
Greed in boiling oil drips
A pit of snakes,sloth..now..so..slowly...slips....

brown earth rolls a 
quilt of love we
need to remain calm
fly under the radar of crime
and punishments
the girl is sleeping
like a volcano
dictators masturbate red
semen of power in their 
dreams impotent
my hands are shaking
roar of an orphaned lion
in the deserted jungle
of hunger and chaos...

A simple one life,
is contrast to the urbanites,
less emphasis on punishments.

Wealthy and powerful people,
create new beliefs and holy books.

Government capitals,
and corporate stocks,
rent heaven and hell.

Pilgrimage of silicon valley,
depicts religious chants.
Clergious environmentalist,
chews street food....

You will not live forever
And you do not have a soul
There are no hells or heavens
No charged punishments to scroll

We do not keep on going
When our ashes riddle urns
There are no gods or saviors
No exchanges or returns

You will not live forever
And you cannot sway the Fates
There are no master captains
Out beyond the crooked gates...

i never felt alike the rest
always like i was less
everyday of life a test
never able to address

always was the one in trouble
singled out and made example
often would it burst my bubble
punishments i felt were ample

isolation in my mission
so my mood stamped down flatter
still i face this repetition
never told that white lives matter...

I walk from the building,
my body sore.
He grabbed my wrist,
tossed me to the floor.
Punishments I'm given,
for crimes I did not commit. 
The blood is dried beneath my nose,
around my eyes and ears.
Tell myself please be strong, 
please don't cry a tear. 
For if  you do,
more clothes will tear,
and pray your life will end. 
"just do what I say."
It will all be okay....

Jumping to conclusions
Reinforces your illusions
That the way things are 
Are how they shouldn’t be.

To avoid any confusions
Or suspicions of delusions
Some investigation
Seems to be the key.

Then you’ll find, to the exclusions
Of some paranoid collusions,
That the things you thought
Are not exactly true…

So be sure that such inclusions
Happen fast before seclusions
Are the punishments
That wait in store for you....

Storms are brazen, often rude,
Lighting the sky with invectives
Of white-blue light terrible.

The rains carp the submissive
Ground wearing it so slowly
Down into curves, mud.

The thunder stomps through
Heaven’s empty rooms above.
It knows the children tremble

Beneath, conjuring punishments
Through tall silken crowns
Where venomous rodents erupt.

In boredom, the storm sulks
Away.  

In time, 
The rodents and children trade places....

"I think of a place
Where our soul is pure!
I think of a place
Where no ones confused for what they do
Everyone's damn sure
I think of a place
Where people don't have problems
But if they do -they get it with cures
I think of a place
Where we rule the place 
Without a tenure
We ourselves give us full assure-
For what we do what we see and what we hear
Is right and will be true!
No unnecessary payment no punishments no sue!
This a place which I think of.......
I have imagined 
Now can you?"...

Declare your allegiance in this separated world

Led by deliberate ignorance chomping on gold

Lining up for your turn based on your make believe sin

Punishments justified and blamed on your skin

Safe at their table where everything is pale

One hand grasps a gavel, the other the holy grail

Your existence an annoyance, a flea or a gnat

Demanding you retreat and scat like a rat

Freedom is preached in Red White and Blue

Only if your flesh holds no tinge of color or hue...

Blessings come in abundance 
Punishments travel by the hand full
Acting out will bring you damnation
Continuing to be hard headed, stubborn as a bull

Searching for right in the mist of doing wrong 
Lost steps in the dark
Pleading for some guidance 
In a desolate world that has a vicious bite and undeniable bark

Praying for blessings
Trying to swerve the potholes of punishment
Drowning in anguish while attempting to smile
Forever trapped in this corrupt world, ruled by government...
