reversal in time
history to be reviewed
dreams, wishes bestowed
the human race put on trial...
yet in their image were born.

The hunter becomes the hunted...
What if there was a role reversal?
Let's all just get along ~

A springtime
Reversal sing
A random tune that reminds you of home
Somewhere time stops for those broken, alone;
Carry on then
Full ahead
Engines

ROLE REVERSAL
A most enterprising canary
Always found the cat very scary
So to turn a new page
Shut the cat in the cage
It’s the cat’s turn now to be wary

Buried reflection,
pits of regret
Reasons to wander,
darkness forgets
Images rising,
blessed by the sun
Timeless reversal
—forgiveness begun

Satan lost his cool
Would not let God rule
He will burn in hell
What a horrid place to dwell!
Jesus came to Earth
To give us a rebirth
He did save the human race
To let us see God face-to-face!

Once free of the body,
into the soul
Majestic reversal,
the minstrels have told
A crown made of virtue,
death in the past
Whose regal foretelling
—a message to last

In a most stunning reversal of form
The ‘grammar police’ took over a dorm
Kicked out all the radicals
Screamed, ‘You’re non-grammatical’

Rehearsal of Role Reversal
What he really did resulted in a role reversal,
We had remembered after another rehearsal;
After around nosing,
Started proposing,
A poor performance ending in crowd dispersal.

a first love
so compelling-
homage
to another
to love's
sweet refrain-
an invocation
sung and
heard-
an exploration
of perception
with no reversal,
without a guide

When you're looking for someone to blame
be careful whom you intend to defame.
Without proper grounds
your words may rebound
and your good standing be put to shame.
This to balance my reversal poem 'Who spoiled our Christmas?'

My garden work was once pure joy
when shared with my girl and boy.
The toil was slight.
Now that I do the job alone
it truly tires me to the bone,
an old age plight.

She has everything you don't.
(we never had what they have)
Sleep is more important than me?
(it's 1 am & you're not my lover)
Why ask if you weren't interested?
(my father was missing & politeness)
I'm tired of trying.
(interesting role reversal)

Role reversal, rekindle love
To be a child again
Head-heart aligned, now hand in glove
Cleansed soul thus free from stain
Choosing heart’s expansion
Bliss our meditation
God orientation

A daylight will stay with us from on high
And mailings will be reviewed when I sigh
Among bleeding cacti within the fence
After we are engaged in a pretence
Here I, reversal permeability
Reduced to wearing only this vittae

He tried to change the unchangeable.
Came to his senses…
And found himself changed, instead.

Be now normal
Make it continual and ritual
Forget the causal
Stay put not frontal
There are many things to do factual
All things you are in control
Unless fatal and impartial
Do things substantial
Mostly it will be rational
At level, reversal
Mutual, dual
Pastoral, beautiful and fruitful.

file for reversal
separation of dew
from meadow
nor the progress
of eventide
awaken the sunrise
at first blush
stalk the night hours
and pen kisses
the source of spring
and thaw
nestled, on a bed of roses
dyed-in-the-wool,
my three pointed star
a rain that replenishes the soul
and desire

Delivery seems tensed as one cries for relieve
There I am
There I am
Down a loin I know not of
They mistaken my pain as joy likewise its reversal
An innocent being gasps for life
There he lies in abundance
Blessed or cursed
A choice in life to be taken
Hope you endure
For this game has started.

The man was a Neo-Nazi enforcer
Who decided one day that he would change
To repent his sins and be a better person
So he changed and lasered his tattoos
Leaving his old life behind he did good things
And he said that God spoke to him causing it
I wonder why this had happened for him
In causing this complete reversal of outlook.
