Short Righted Poems

Listen to poem:

Intended upended
suspended 
upside-down
on trapeze by knees,
is caught, 
catcher-clung
flung over
and righted,
as it is to be...

Righted-Wronged Choices--

~My choice is mine
  I've decided now...
go left or right wrong again~

You rose me up
you made me strong
you gave me a place
in this world
you made me a fighter
and righted the wrong
you put my nuts and bolt
where they belong.

my ship has kissed the lips
of the mighty Mississip

my righted lefts

Seal Team Six righted a terrible wrong. 
Their valor lives on in legend and song.  
Any jihadi soon learns chances are slim 
bint helwas in Jahannum are dying to meet him.  


Arabic: Bint helwas - beautiful girls; Jahannum - hell....

Do you acknowledge the traits of Homo_ Sapiens?
The up righted body and/ or high IQ Intellectual? 
No! It must be the morality awakening by Sunrise
And resting quietly when the sunset goes to low
The truth is brightness  lightens an animal a human, 
While darkness colors a human as being  a ghost....

The wrongs are now righted
The Beatles have re-united
for that I expect to be knighted
but the queen might get frighted
so my lips would have to stay tighted
I must not remain unsighted
my soul may feel blighted
if touched by the mighted
the disiilusorily prided
whose tans should be hided
I don't need them or their fight!

we have to endure
supervising is rising
be safe sane secure

on us peace upon
God and will always done
day with setting sun

Jesus is up there
has been in my each prayer
words with us will share

table up righted
Jesus again was sighted
have been delighted

for all crime to cease
make sure number will increase
so that it will cease...

We must unite, unite
Voices need to be heard
Gaps need to be bridged
Wrongs need to be righted
Fences need to be mended
Differences must be talked about
From east to west, north to south
 
Many think peace is not obtainable
Today, tomorrow
But through faith in god
And is divine plan
We can do anything
 
Like the lyrics go
"Give peace a chance"...

Friends
If ever you be happy
Let it be 
For things done
Dreams come true
Possibilities realized

Let it be
For aspirations attained
Ambitions accomplished
Extremities fathomed

Let it be 
For misfortunes overcome
Wrongs righted
Life well spent

But above all else
Let it be
For love bestowed
Extended
Assured

For these
Dear friends
We longed 
And lived
To miss....

Granny so often tried to roam
We had to take her to a home

Being new they had apprehension
Trying hard to give her attention
 
It sure was a bit of a fight
Stopping her leaning too far right 

Suddenly too far left she leaned
Righted soon when a nurse intervened 

When asked, "Are they doing their part?"
She said,"Yes, but they won't let me fart!"...

I shall take my morning walk,
communing with the birds and talking
to myself while reading Kafka,
glancing at the latest headlines.
Dear Stravinsky's 'Rite' is slighted,
(he'll be back when ears are righted.)
When I smell a rose I'm prompted 
to recall a certain lady, gifted with
a strange perception, I must sadly 
take exception, for the moment anyway....

If I gotta problem
it's mine, all mine,
property righted supreme

If I gotta problem
I need a solution
so bad, I'll sometimes scream

Used to be at my mom
or my husband or kids
and occasionally even a boss

now I get it that mom's and bosses
dad's and losses
kids and quids and whatcha dids

aren't the problem.
Don't know zactly what prob is yet
but least I'm closer....

I cannot understand it.
I cannot tell you why
some people never forgive.
They just hate until they die.

When death comes it is final,
and wrongs cannot be righted.
It’s too late then to seek forgiveness.
Two lives will forever remain blighted.

Forgiveness has a double edge,
it helps both the receiver and giver.
Eternity is a long, long time…
to remember past hurts unforgiven....

Where is honor
 Is it hidden
  In dark corner
Where is honor
 In evil done
 And never righted
Where is honor
 Found in lies
  To cover truth
Where is honor
 To learn of wrong
  And walk away
Where is honor
 In blind eye
  And deaf ear
Where is honor
 To take orders
  What are wrong
Where is honor
 Leave the hurt
  Leave the need
Where is honor
 In knowing right
   And doing not...

Here I lay my soul to rest
in life I fought to pass the test
In the end I failed you not
but your love was for another and cheaply bought
so many wrongs i righted with my sword
its edge dulled upon your word
my shield broke when you tore my heart
but i stayed and played my part
no armor or buckler made so strong
could ever right your unfaithful wrong
of that i lay here as proof
a fallen fool under love's deceiving hoof...

People think all angels have wings, but the angel I'm writing about didn't have wings, but an 
incredible smile, that lite up the world.

This angel worked for a man named Charlie, and together, they righted a lot of wrongs.

But, this angel had the fight of her life on her hands, and sadly this time, she did not win.

The world is a much darker place with out her smile.

We miss you, Farrah, but we know you're in a better place, and to me, you'll always be an 
Angel!...

I'm having a very hard time without you
Please come home and sing to me
It's your voice that tends to soothe
Not your fading memory

I've put away my childish things
And righted every wrong
Carved your name into my brow
Then wove you into song

Come put your arms around me
I'm chilled like a coverless child
Hanging on the brink of doom
Stirred up like a river wild

So won't you darken my doorway
And eat here from my plate
Clothe yourself in my embrace
No longer make me wait...
