Short Restitution Poems

In this life of mine
I forgive all transgressors
We are endless ones...

Solidarity follows
What humility begets

Hilarity follows
When humanity forgets

Sorrowful wallows
We panic, we regret

Indemnity follows
A species drowning in debt

Truth Wins Out
By: Miracle Man
October28, 2021

For political lies once sworn as truth,
Restitution lies in the voting booth.

On social media they're repeated,
A lie, told often, becomes deep seated.

Such a interesting word

Transcending in nature.....For Some

Lost in a second.......for others

The Naked Truth 

Pride or Restitution Will Dress the Day

Simple Choice For Some......Gray texture for others.......

The Emperors New Clothes..........

A New Year's Resolution..
is to come
to a solution
to stop destitution
and pollution..

A New Year's Resolution..
for the mind
and institution
for the wrong
make restitution
to give love
a distribution..
A new constitution..

A New Year's Resolution.

From one to a mob a person becomes people
An idea becomes action
Results occur
Blame only sticks to individuals
Responsibility dissipates
Pride fuels greed
Exploitation is honorable
Benevolence is a weakness 
Restitution is regarded as unearned reward
Oppression does not mature...

All the genuine people you knew
then don't come around here anymore.

Restitution is what you owe to
all the genuine people you knew.

If you still can't acknowledge that you
chose to nurture your demons before

all the genuine people you knew,
then don't come around here anymore....

A sick, bleeding heart
Sings a song of loneliness
It lives for true love
And is searching everywhere 
For the one who will mend it 

A sore, vengeful heart
Longs for a moment of peace
The heart is maddened
And is straining to repair
It's cold, endless suffering

The storm of absolution
broke the headache in relief
with the lightning of redemption
drowning earth in blanket grief
The sky went dark at noon's abyss
and cleared the land, tsunami kiss
The flood of restitution
blew the mind of all involved
with just a touch of slowing the earth
in her orbit, as she revolved....

A serene sanctuary shields a soul
in soothing stillness of a sunrise stroll.
Silence is such a sanguine solution
to savor solace as restitution.
Sanity sustained with shimmers of hope
for survival on life's slippery slope ~
Stability on a social tightrope.

MERCY

Showing mercy
to those who wrong us
is God’s will. As He has forgiven us,
 we are to forgive others. But too often we attach
 stipulations such as an apology or some sort of restitution.
But this shouldn’t be because Christ died for us while we were yet sinners.

Hide away, my child
Hidden dangers lurk beneath
Innocence prevail

Hatred manifests
Alarmingly disguises
As contorted love

Lost society
Pressured into submission
Subterfuge action

Gains foothold, at last
With enlightened applauses
New generation

Into the soul's well
Restitution shines beacon
Forgiveness takes time

Again I bend to kiss this  blade
Then face the winds of Change in steadfast resolution
Whisperings of vows long made
Spin in dizzied revolution
Old and weary wrinkles fade
In face of coming restitution
Tis now my turn to face the night
and at long last to know what's right
Freedom's been a constant fight
Worth every dancing minute
To earn a living in it...

Peace is found when people come to their senses
Stop the bickering and contentious debates
Words of anger fortify our defenses
   Peace is found when people come to their senses
   We should make restitution and mend fences
    Arguing is one of our worst human traits
       Peace is found when people come to their senses
       Stop the bickering and contentious debates...

For those I've badly wronged, I'll offer restitution.
Those I feel wronged me; I'll not seek my retribution
Should money come my way, I'll try redistribution.
When someone needs a hand, I'll make my contribution,
and, should I fail in these, I'll seek my absolution.

Dedicated to a Nun that was raped by a Hindu gang in Orrisa in India.

Bondage dawdles but dauntless rambler.
Glimmers as goblin a goblet gambler.
A heartburn glory chalks a chandelier.
A granite lineage outdistanced gondolier.

Responsive restitution a splitter sponger,
Guttural estuary grumbles bounded cavalier.
A bony strangled receptacle receiver,
Keynote bolted storm violate believer....

Deadly humanity

Exterminating all

Forests along with animals, 

Outrage should be how we feel

Restitution should be our aim, 

Eradicating corporate greed

Senseless destruction, 

The cutting and burning of trees

Animal extinction abhorrent to me, 

This must end rapidly

Insipid evil within humanity, 

One movement for our ecology

Needless is our destruction of creation....

PAYBACK

blood oranges oscillate
within plundered peels

squeezed out surreptitiously
bleeding on her heels

clicking brutish jaws
on paper thin walls

the pied piper grins
with greenback gall

HOWEVER...heaven insists,
maligned orange restitution

purification of every last drop.
shark lust sees only the dark

heel-harpoons of every female
stab his comeuppance heart.

Lord  Lead Our way
Bring Peace again to Our day
Dispel this darkness
From which it grew
Bless this spirits soul anew
Quench this thirst 
Behold our Lords Chalice 
Baptized 
Immersed 
Cleansed 
Upon the Lords Throne
Convert 
Hate to Love
Fear to Acceptance
Selfishness to Restitution
Arrogance to Humble
Drink the Spirit of God 
And once again
Freedom will be Yours
Lord Lead Our Way...........

THE LAST VESTIGE



the sky is covered with clothes of 
mourning
in sinful array
everything lies contrasting
His
forgiving nature


fortitude remains as
He prepares for His
second coming
knowing without a doubt
that our war
is won


with our personal autonomy
we practise our petitions
awaiting the
restitution of His will
in time for the 
last vestige

Bright future in sight, 
have emerged victorious and mighty, 
having fought a ferocious noble fight. 

Engrossed in discipline water tight, 
have made the kinked pathways straight, 
delivered gains, booties in right hands. 

Burying the past darkest night, 
stamping, kissing the tormenting plight, 
we, l celebrate the ray of light. 

Time of restoration, 
moment of restitution, 
dispensation for promotion.

Lord I am an ingredient
 I want to be more than just that
In your pot stir me up 
Come sup, dine with me
Fill me up
With thine substance leaven me
Keep stirring me up 
Keep me from sticking, burning on this and the other side
Come sit with me come drink my portion 
Engage near me my resolution 
You are and have been,been mine solution
As I been broken I the bread of restitution

A world is corrupted with chaos
Lost of reality; an era of dreams
This inner madness has grown deep inside
Restitution obscured for all that no longer exists

Sweet terror clouds the air
A twisted test of the soul
This felony committed in an act of innocence
The world has fell in the hole

A life of nothing but false reality
Full of vulgar truths; a love of sweet lies
Filled with these filthy vapors of sin
A complete indulgence in this wretched cycle...

In my silence, I would love to forget, but restitution has'nt come quite yet.And with 
one accord,I keep moving forth. I stretch my heart to heal some more.  It used to be all 
that I wanted was to learn some wisdom, trust and truth, but now all I want to learn is 
some wisdom for you. As my seasons change ,I've now grown to know, when ones heart 
creates, one soul does not owe. So,then temp my heart with loves display       I'd 
rather  wash away the stains of yesterday...

The drivers of my journey bring me to here,                
   somewhere between yesterday and tomorrow,
alive, leaving a trail of blame, pain, shame,               
   accountability, restitution and change.

Living life with less selfishness and self-will,
   sufficiently provides all daily needs.
Driven by free choice, fate and faith to an unknown
   future - I'll arrive on time - I'll be okay.
