Short Schism Poems

Schism between us.
Two lay, where there once was one.
I reach out to you....

Up sharp plus weak
bear with peak schism
light ark love reigns.

You took innocence
sow seeds in maturing brain
create illusions
in the name of the father...
a lattice for prejudice.

One god has as many religions
As Trafalgar Square has got pigeons
A lad on the booze
with nothing to lose
Got baptised with two Dead Sea Widgeons...

You may distort my audio,
twisting words with your prism.
But, the chasm
of your failed schism,
will be drowned in the flood
of truth's written flow.

Trump Surrounded by Skepticism


Trump was surrounded by skepticism;
Then after he would initiated a schism,
He did attrack,
A heart attack,
That was extinguished by an embolism.

The teacher's feet flew up on the desk,
    Striking the class as rather grotesque:
       It caused quite a schism,
       As she'd just escaped prison!
    Was this a school-room or house of burlesque?...

flits on fairy green wings
sits atop my river of dreams
sings & enchants me
tearing torn flesh from my seams
feeding this flood
a unique pattern to rhythm
a blood-fed schism
quenched
by low breaths in the lightess morning...

Cloudburst Louis
Paints in colors bright
Imagination driven
With all of his might

Blessed canvas glows
Pure horsehair magic
Beauty born from pain
Muse favors tragic

Autism schism
Torn from the world
Quiet little dolphin
Oceans unfurled...

THE BEAT GOES ON

Types of music can expose a schism
Between classical and modern rock
Modern jazz and gentle ’50s swing
Generations divided by such a thing
And hymns, if preaching to the flock
Either way, they have all got rhythm

Would you meet me sometime
   At the space in between
The corner of reckless schism
   And the street of broken dreams?

I just covet a good word or two –
   So long as we break silence –
And I will collect an echo
   Then leave and recommence....

Racism
Schism
A void
To Altruism

A means
Promote
A path
To more division

The color
The people
Is purple
Ever equal?

Is there
Some way
To span
Across the Steeple

In truth
We lie
And know
Consistent evil

Deny
Deny
The populous
Primeval...

Like light refracted through a prism,
    Continuous, yet some see schism.
The loudest voices, incomplete;
    Ironic, for they’re not discrete.

Large helping now
Senate allows
Bean soup

Patriotism's 
Two group schism
Hot Air  

I saw an ad in a catalogue
Bean Soup served in the Senate
Dining Hall, get some today..
I now know from where all the 
hot air is arising.

 Take them up a bit
Step down and disconnect yet
Well oriented

Follow the rhythm
Fall into run, then schism
Palladium's glow

Hang on, two flights left
Three ahead then go right
Welcome home, goodnight

All this time, and the elevator still remains 'Out of Order.'...

Is it shism with a soft “k”
or skism with a hard “k”?
The “ch” sound in English
can go either way, as in
church and chin, scold and school.
Personally, I’ve never had
a problem with it, because
I schink schome people are schimply
too skittish, and therefore
schplit over right usechage.

I'll never know God
Because father won't let me.
The order I'm all out of
Doesn't fit under my skin.
My robes hang unused
As if I were never there.
A schism envelops my know
Because I KNOW
If Jesus really walked thru that church door
He'd be ushered out
Unto the unwashed
Before they could get any money
Out of him....

Buddha was a prince before he reached enlightenment. He gave up worldly desires and possessions. What does one now a days have to give up, when all our motives are driven by desire and everything we own possesses us. Is enlightenment itself a desire, and we just happen to stubble upon it when all the schism of life fall apart and reform...

Bad news,
For all of you,
It's 2016 in Australia,
Multicultural success or failure?
A new culture of racism,
Paranoia driving  a schism,
In our lucky country we stand 
for equality, a concept grand...
Today, let's have no discrimination,
A day of Peace, across our nation,
Yes, it's 2016 in Australia,
Multicultural success or failure?...

Optimism
That trait I lost when there was a schism of hearts
Optimism
That tiny thought that can put hope in your life
Optimism
That thing I couldn’t find for so long
Optimism
My newfound joy
Optimism
That faith that it will all be okay in the end
Optimism
That feeling of positive expectations
Optimism
That belief that any loss has its gain...

M-ake all things in order, 
A-lmighty gives the command; 
L-et not dissension rule 
O-r get the 
U-pper hand. 

G-et your ducks in a row, 
R-earrange for the better; 
E-vade the zone of schism, 
G-o on as true peacemaker. 
O-n the twenty-eighth of July, 
R-ise and let not grime grow; 
I-t's time to organize life, 
O-r get your ducks in a row....

Youth is a time of great optimism,
when energy in boundless supply flows,
and strong, unyielding viewpoints produce schism,
'tween parent and teen o'er what each one knows.
Should parents try to look through the prism,
of the time when they faced their teenage woes,
they may have a little more sympathy,
and treat their teens with much more empathy....

It‘s alive!
A life form 
Thriving on hatred
Reaped from societies
Greatest blunder 
Like lighting
Follows thunder  
We are following our ancestors 
Reproducing civilization   
Mistake 
Disregard the fact
That we are all human
our blood is red
I smirk when I’m contented 
And shed tears when I’m poignant
We are all equal
cease  this schism 
And trounce racism...
