Short Reparation Poems

In prayer I offer a Rose of Reparation --- to adorn ---
her sorrowful Immaculate Heart, as I remove a thorn...

A broken back
A svelte attack
on all that once was pure

A velvet wink
from eyes that think
flirtation is the cure

A slipping smile
Alone beguile
the wince of reparation

A mental mind
will surely find
beyond the act, contrition....

Man's thirst for riches caused this unnatural disaster....
Innocent creatures and the environment paid the awful price.
Prevention not reparation must rule endeavors.

Listen to poem:

Amid the devilment your dimples devise,
your smile is a mile of wonderful lies.
Your eyes hypnotize, and your silences speak
volumes of verses to someone as weak
as the wreck that I am,
since, meek as a lamb,
I was caught by your charm,
doing myself irreparable harm
to my centers of logic and cool calculation.
You are responsible: I demand reparation....

I concur with the sentiment and truth of Coll’s article.


The lines


this is an awareness
renewed.
black, white,
redefined reality.
levels of preparation.
mindless reparation.
the indications.
the indignations.
atrocities past
forgiven, ‘most forgotten.
barriers designed to endure
ensure
cultural consciousness 
never become…
national consensus....

In faith, I trusted yet in truth, I lied.
In hope I despaired 
For in those I trusted
I sought to find my heart repaired.

Reparation from a failed addiction,
From being a passionate man
And paying full price for my own indiscretions,
For being who I am.

So I seek solace within myself,
These dark and dusty caverns within my mind.
Away from over eager and imaginative lips
For this is my problem and my solution to find....

Through sheer impulse, I was entranced 
By the beauty of rare mollusks in varied designs
Ready to be plucked , the evening my witness
When I gathered all that I had found.

A bothered conscience nailed on and on,
How could I have hurt nature which I adore?
As reparation for this lapse, I sent  hikers daily
this card, " I'm sorry for picking what's not mine."

Sign of the Cross (poem)

O my God
I offer you all my prayers
 Works
 Joys
 and sufferings

In union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus
For the intentions
Which He pleads
Offers Himself in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

In thanksgiving for Your favors
In reparation for my offenses
In humble supplication for my temporal
Eternal welfare 

For the conversion of sinners
For the relief of the poor souls in purgatory. 
Amen.

The most noble act in all the world, I think
To back away from war on the brink
Seeking peaceful concession
With reparation
Restoring
Peace
Endorsing
Calm separation
Mutual declaration
Leaves both nations prospering insync
The most noble act in all the world, I think

Indian Army did it for our martyrs,
Our life is owe upon the martyrs,
We're saluting fighting martyrs,
A satire message by martyrs,
Life is only for country as martyrs,
Medals are hats-off on uniform of martyrs,
Awards are hats-off on the life of martyrs,
A hot feeling towards family of martyrs,
No reparation is useful for family of martyrs,
They want revenge over the golden lives of martyrs,
Martyrs... Martyrs... & Martyrs...
I salute over the golden lives of martyrs....
