Short Steeling Poems

Will Be Such A Surprise

4987

All the truth you hear in Trump lies, 
Will always be a complete surprise; 
Were really reeling; 
Laundering and steeling; 
Being the truth each one of us denies.

Down Before Me

Down before me they where kneeling
Votes from people had been steeling
What really was the bright beginning
We would wish now is the very ending
Do think my appearance was appealing?

Listen to poem:

Buyer Beware 
David J Walker

The Earth is our patient host
And we are the guests
Feasting freely in a full pantry  
Steeling the linen 
Calling our neighbors invaders
Demanding justice to fortify our
Positions and satisfy our ambitions
Enforcing the bowing and kneeling
But buyer beware
Earth has its own practice 
Of healing...

There I stood, barely nine
as he was taken in the light of day.
A prisoner of fate was I, given no sign,
to witness his limp body bruised lay,
yet as adult walked away from his shrine. 

There I stood, steeling my stance
for the sake of my silence
as children mocked, giving no chance.
From solitude I drew my resilience
and gave no second glance....

My Seven Thousandth Poem

This is actually it believe it or not.
I have composition books full of them.
They are even on all kinds and sizes 
of sheets of paper. I write them on
church bulletins and Day By Day.

Seven thousandth poem soon will reach;
Do wonder if I am a lenient poetry leech,
Steeling thought,
And got caught;
Write them God has many ways to teach.

Sunlight peaks across my room…
Unfinished thoughts still do loom…
Like paper rain ideas are scattered and overcast…
In a four walled world I breathe behind cracked glass…
Inhaling my own solitude and peace…
Where inspiration can slowly release…
I peek outside just for a glance…
Steeling views of color and romance…
My walls now painted from inside to out…
Where mystery is removed along with doubt…...

The knife was in my hand, I know,
I felt the blade against my thigh. 
I thought the steel would cut you off,
I thought that I was being kind.

The knife was in my hand, I thought,
I thought that I should sever ties.
But strong and steel and should got lost,
When all that I could do was cry.

The knife was in my hand no more,
I found the blade inside my mouth.
I felt it stealing to yours,
And now we're both unarmed, without....

So many times in life,
I've found myself blind;
Always hiding in plain sight,
And falling forever behind.

I try to seek my way,
But true self evades,
Deep inside me lies
A youth that never fades.

She crawls forever 
Within the maze of thought;
Steeling herself from pain
And torture others have wrought.

Her eyes are forever closed
Until her heart melts off the frost
And someone comes to aide
The little baby girl lost....

So, the Internet's down
  Why the frown??
As my friends predicted
  I'm totally addicted

I could read a book
  yet I sit here and pout
'Cos what I want
  is currently out

Hey, I'll call a friend --  
  Hm. Their lines are all busy
I'm thinking Ben must be home
  The question is: Is he?

OK! Alright! Enough is enough!
  What's happened to me?
  I used to be tough
Ready: I'm steeling myself now. Grrrr...
  ~ Guess there's no iron in creampuffs!...

when praying while kneeling
God was always appealing
(God my hand had been dealing)
(God gave me great feeling)
(God would help when we were healing)
(God was rocking and reeling)
(God my religion was revealing)
(God stopped my sinning and steeling)

idiot blooming
would go to church not grooming
found my wife fuming

in God we believe
there are those who do deceive
causing us to grieve

when the sun will set
we would fool around and fret
were deeper in debt...
