Short Put Upon Poems

Think you’re put upon?
The moon is but a servant…
In  thrall to the sun!...

May we be blessed to understand
on every continent, 
in every country, 
city 
and town…
We are put upon this Earth to lift each other up
not
to put each other down....

The sun came out
It's sunny after the rain
The rainbow appear
At the background
It means it's a sign
Of good luck and goodwill
After the outpouring
There's smile put upon our face....

When a child leaves 
It is called running away
Called a stupid act of childhood
When an adult runs away
It is called leaving
Blamed on too much weight 
Put upon their shoulders
But when I look at either
I see no difference...

So peculiar
It springs up its head
On late Winter’s bed.  
This morning it was
That fence in my hand;

I'm pulling on her
where put upon, few see.
Smart on its petals, color vies,

Look on my form.
I’m run 
Into deep yellow madness....

The Veil of Perception,
what lies beyond

Our senses and memory,
all time put upon

Lying within 
or lying without

Inherent by nature,
shadowed by doubt

Primary function,
will scholars proclaim

But second to that
—our reasonings change

(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: October, 2020)...

I love biscuits
Biscuits with my tea
I especially like them
When they are just for me
I love biscuits,
Some other things I hate
When my beloved biscuits
Are put upon a plate
I look at all these biscuits
My look is more a stare
Because I know these biscuits
Are put there for all to share...

UNNERVED

a fresh grave, gravelly dug,
collar gathered and put upon.

the doghouse, below the gloam,
godforsaken with a gaping hole.

guard of gray-glass, at midnight,
hardly hinders gathering ghosts.

unnerved fear grips my sleep,
gangly bedroom curtain grieves.

Greatful for your words,
that I cling too.
It's the curse you've put upon me.

I'm your puppet,
held up by your strings
connecting to my heart.

You know how to bring me down,
one snap and I could be at your feet,
crippled and broken,
barely living.

You know I love you,
do you love me too?
Or am I just the dirt beneath your shoe?...

That’s two things you don’t mess with: 
magic and me 
But you played with them both 
Now your fate is sealed, indeed 
We’re working together 
To bring you down to your knees 
Soon enough everyone will know
Of all your dirty deeds 
And not all the apologies in the world 
Could save you from the flames 
They’ll put upon you 
For playing these games...

I sleep with You
wake up with You and  them 
Because we don't have problem 
As all of us are belonging to You.
We continue breathing because of You.
Being empowered and protected  by You, 
loved by few and hated  by majority
people because of your free grace 
That you put upon us daily. 
You deserve glory 
Today and
Foverever , oh! Lord.

Strength you'll cut the bad things out
in hopes there'll be some left.
When truth is that the very few
will leave you feel the theft.

Then put upon the brighter side
you have to see the fact.
What's left to fill your plate up full
leaves choice a simple act.

So very few these healthy are
to see their light of day.
What's left to be a healthy share
where people live to stay....

You don't know how much you've hurt me
How much pain you've caused
How much burden you put upon...
I believed in every single word you said...
       in all your lies...
You are so selfish
You are so unfair
I am so stupid
And you don't even damn care!

                                                  --possessed--

when Gods son is tired
when the Holy Spirit has called
when Jesus comes back to earth
the protected will be gone
Jesus may be calling
he will soon have had enough
we will be freed and let go
from the bondage 
Satin has put upon us.
protector angels
defender souls
are now watching
and keepin us safe
but Gods son will soon be tired
the Holy Spirit will soon call
Jesus will soon return
and the protected will be gone.

I’d look up all my long lost friends,
And tell them all good-bye;
I’d ride my horse to my hearts content,
Eat the chocolate I’ve been denied;

I’d write my final epitaph,
To put upon my grave;
I’d go and walk along the beach,
Maybe catch a wave;

I’d say farewell to the one I love,
And tell him to move on;
I don’t want for him to suffer,
After I’m long gone;

I’d regret that I had been so shy,
If I knew I had to die....

Arched gray bridge across the lily pond
With the all seeing eyes that are put upon
Standing silently everyday enjoying the beauty
Of the lilies as they bloom and aroma display

Weeping willow reflected from your waters
Green rippling as your waters are softly stirred
Host of white lilies float and dream 
Cattails stand healthy and green 

(Written after viewing Claude Monet's painting "Water-Lily Pond- Symphony in 
Green")...

Time is a human restriction
Brought about to embarrass
Those who really don’t care
To be anywhere particular
At any particular moment
Within any particular realm
Of the universe.  It means
You won’t get paid as much,
Can’t have as much fun
And have to go places you
Don’t feel the need to, all 
for the sake of an abstract constraint
put upon this Earth
by someone who felt the need
to brag that he was/is/forever shall be
on time....

amazement curves your every strength
interesting effects
you put upon myself
and thou i always dream
of you and me
forever be
you'll always want her
and enver leave
how foolish i had been
of hoping you'll love me
knowing she's the one you want
the one you need
fought to the finish
to realize my mistakes
of loving you
while you longed for another
while you held her tight
i cried all night
for the love of one
who loved nother....

no one stood up and said what was right
or pointed out what was wrong
we kept to ourselves, plugging away at our jobs
none of us realizing the real job
is to uplift and help others

we soon became the oppressed, the put upon, the picked on
we wanted desperately to be rescued, to be heard, to be freed
but no one pointed out what was wrong
they kept to themselves
ignoring our plight
and so we suffered
as we had let others suffer before us....

Frankincense 
Incense 
And 
Half burnt candle's 
X 3
In a Triangular Circle 
A good luck potion 

To appease 
The Gods
He knew not he robbed
All he wronged
For fear he was cursed 
He sought magic to reverse

The silk purse of bad tiding 
Sick to death of hiding 
From being endlessly put upon
Rejection and misfortune 

Chant and charm
By sweaty palm
Be gone
Flickering flame
Lest my Demons 
Be Slain

Take me to Part 3' domain...

LOVE IS.....

The Strength you give me every day
The way you chase my blues away

The smile you put upon my face
The way you make my heart race

The butterflies flapping wildly inside
As my emotions take a crazy ride

Walking together, hands entwined
Being able to read each others’ mind

Feeling I’m home when you hold me near
As you whisper “I Love You” into my ear.

mr and mrs merlin meow the sixteenth were on the brink
of letting Kansas City High Society know what they think.
the star put their photo on the front page with a link.
each of them dressed to the nines, holding their favorite drink.

those two do not think that their prissy litter boxes stink!
sniffed their gardener, a put-upon python wearing bright pink.
look at her, she’s such a back-stabber, a gossip, a fink!
yelled his wife Priscilla, with a sassy sashay and a slippery slink....

This donkey demonstrates my status, 
That nothing can be said about us, 
I’m yours, like a child you put upon it, 
Like a product, you want to buy a bit. 

You’re free to lift me up in your lives, 
And if you do I’ll ride with no contrives, 
My name will mean something right, 
And by using it you will have height. 

No sour feelings and no bad thoughts,  
You’re not visionaries or care robots, 
Yours is the present, your responsibility, 
Not future times or my future credibility....
