I tried
to tell her
not to resort
to slum
dating
and living
but she just
did not see
the queen
she was
inside.
The ultimate indulgence…
blind acceptance
All standards rescinded
—all judgment forlorn
(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)
Ribs
My right and left detestable ribs aren’t
recognised as
meeting required standards as
stated by
Miss Certify.
One mustn't strive to live up to someone else's standards; you are~enough

It's hard to trust love
When others tag emotions
Based on cheap standards,
Their forever lasts a month
When you think it means for life
There are no standards any more;
Opinion's all that counts.
We all must have our voices heard,
And everyone must win.

Mr More Than Sufficient
A small glass of
lacking moral standards or
principles for
Mr More Than Sufficient will
make his
day.
Even when measured by
Standards of eternity,
Embraced with mortality,
And beset by brevity,
Life is no less a
Treasured gift.
while the heart may come off pure
secret desires inherently do not
synchronized standards = compatibility
yet unhealed trauma = an utter mess
You set the standards,
And they should not be challenged
By the obsolete.
Since you are the boss,
You deserve to rule the world,
By getting ahead.
Political standards are falling
To a point some say is appalling
The Elephant said:
"You've got to wear red
And knock on their door, "Aphid calling"!
The fans of the Brooklyn Dodgers
Once rivaled those of Roy Rogers
But when Trump came on
Those standards were gone
Trigger got stuffed with old codgers
Next President
Senator Bernie Sanders
Inspires with his candid standards.
Presidential campaign rally 15,000 strong,
Hope for Presidency 2 terms long.
Wishin' you hadn't done that
Wishin' you were honest
Wishin' you could've understood
Wishin' you were like me
Wishin' you had the standards,
But you lied.

There once was a lady called Rita
Than whom no one was ever neater
But when she chose to drink
Her standards would sink
And she would end up covered in pizza
THE PENGUIN
The penguin’s no slouch, he’s a winner
By sartorial standards no sinner
He’ll emerge in a trice
From the Antarctic ice
Already dressed for dinner
Unrealistic expectations are a curse
nobody lives up to our high standards
~ a one-way ticket to disappointment

don’t judge others by your own standards ~ only end up hating yourself
be like me take others as you find them ~ and then become mad jealous
By
David Kavanagh
Winking sun through downpour trails
Earth foraging lives
Blackened standards show respect
In our sullen retreat
memories start to fade
The forgotten scar the forgetful
When I grow up I'll be a bimbo
Smart people will tell me where to go
I'll bob my head
On cue play dead
Find good job where standards will be low

This freaking world is totally deranged
Standards are low, we're becoming drained
What has happened
Life has saddened
Worst it's been since sanity reigned>center>
- winning on false terms would not make me proud
- harp or sword - double standards -

Double Standards
Boy how the Lords
Of Old Money and Privilege
Take exception and retreat to the Higher Ground
When their means and tactics
Are used against them
If you can see it
Then you can be it
Just believe
Put your mind to it and achieve
Take that step
And enjoy the journey
Set your standards high
Just reach for the sky
