Short Stereotype Poems

I hate both devil and lucifer
Stereotype and brainwashing
self-destructive both of them do
yet, Venus is not hated at all
early morning/evening star...

While I appreciate the vacation
it would have been better if it were paid.
Funds lessened by nature’s aggravation,
lends credence to the starved artist charade....

~ Injustice Moon Among Us ~


deeper than twilight
the moon to moon afterglow
a wave crush the mood
***
Stereotype motion
Two face under water 
Human injury 


(Senryu of Being Misjudged)...

At peace, its calm
Like a cool summer day
Subsides the stereotype
At peril, a fire bomb
Don’t want to stay
With photos of a prototype
Kill those who kill me
And stop the hand of time.
Why must you kill,
What you hate....

Its getting harder
To keep my attention
And while we go on
I keep singing
A new tune
To light my way
Like runes in the night
Travel onward 
Weary soul
Almost there now
I wanna tell the whole world
This place is a whole lot
Bigger than any stereotype you got...

Bright, shinning, distant
something we can never have,
never hold or touch
only imagine, only dream of,
personify & stereotype,
somewhere in the great & mysterious 
in between of our minds.
Perceiving imperfectly,
acknowledging beauty 
but knowing no accuracy,
only light....

I am the stereotype of a middle-age lady with grey hair
Working as a preschool teacher

Wearing mumu dresses in bright  colors

A Sunday school teacher wanting to make it a full-time job

To whittle myself a new profession

I'm not the brightest crayon in the box
But, I know I can do it!...

Life of a stereotype me not
Doing the actions I forgot
Like freezing when I should be hot
Digressing your opinion of a plot
Doing little when expected of a lot 
If I don’t have it, then what do I got
A loose rope with a knot
Or cold piss in a pot
With the gun of truth, here’s my shot
Of the life of a stereotype me not...

Life is extremely short:
To have friends and watch them hurt,
To have ideas; and then abort,
To judge others; no matter their ‘worth’,
To encourage stereotype of any sort,
Don’t waste life; it is much too short,
Cherish and enjoy it: from womb to dirt.
                                 End

Come meet the assassin of youth-
Breath stinks! But he’s got swagger
Possessing the college kids- got them confused!

Come meet the assassin of youth-
Granddads thinking they are 22
Sweet talking minds in kind
The Jamaican – a stereotype

Come meet the assassin of youth
Barack on cloud 9
David didn't deny
Bill had a try
Tony it did inspire

Meet the assassin of youth....

Hate is chemical,
flows from brain,
do not know how,
some things add,
like a bloody fad,
you feel like away,
rather being on your way,
these faces and places,
that you hate,
are something,
and not just one thing,
they are grouped,
before they are trooped,
you stereotype,
as you gripe,
you bigot,
as you overlook bright spots,
this is hate,
you go long with it,
perhaps that is target's fate....

What gospels on sunday afternoon
Are four quarters male members tune
With flat screens on wall?
The chair-men want football
And shall yell like a wild baboon


Author's note: This poem was inspired by Lori Hopkin's "This ones for the guys" which is worth a good look.  My apologies to all baboons who are much gentler and finer than I.  Sad to resort to using their species as a stereotype just for the sake of a rhyme....

To let her know what my views are
It might shut her down
Maybe destroy our friendship

I know hers.
She is loud and proud
Yelling them, wanting me to agree. I listen instead

Who needs my opinions?
Truthfully no one.
I keep them to myself

Making friends of every group and creed.
Ignoring those who stereotype and label
Putting others in boxes. An ignorance I simply overlook.

Not willing to ruin a friendship...

Live by Stereotype,
Die by Stereotype,
Living superficially with double standards,
Racism, sexism, Haters,
Hating on who you want to be,
Who you were,
and who you are,
Biasing opinions on bad examples,
Not wanting to learn the truth,
The truth silently hiding behind the exterior,
The reality,
Blind to looks,
Based on actions, attitudes, and personality,
Based on honesty, pride, and intelligence,
Based on...
The truth......

      The old ‘Pass-Punt-Kick’ contest
        misappropriated by politicos
     You’re familiar with the stereotype
        the kind who check which way the wind blows

     Like a hot potato they pass the buck
        If asked a tough question, they punt
     And when a financial decision looms, they
        kick the can years down the road

     So, fans, it seems we have a winner
        535 Congressmen, each and every one a sinner

Quiet porch and a lazy chair,
sitting for a while is a song.
A blue collar stereotype.

Highlights visible from the air,
bold italics will show up strong.
Iconic, working that pinstripe. 

Dusk saunters in devil may care,
sizzling whatever could go wrong?
Tipple a taste of this peace pipe. 

Like a view of the county fair,
the big girl rides go all night long.
Such fine architectural hype.

I have built my diorama, 
a caricature of drama.

A Mirror
6-4-2016

 A mirror is a visual echo of the things it beholds,
It doesn’t stereotype, foretell, or have opinions.
But invariably reflects life as it currently unfolds,
It’s impervious to skin color or even dominions;

It is constantly truthful, because it has no feeling,
Sometimes you face it feeling like the mad hatter.
And today, it’s left you with bruised ego reeling,
By reflecting what it saw and its refusal to flatter;

!You can’t classify me!
You can’t label me on a list
Or tie me up and put me in your pretty black box.
I’m Original.
You have never seen anything like me before.
I broke the mold.
I am new creation.
You can’t place me in a group.
I don’t belong.
I am an individual.
I set the trend.
I don’t fit in with your petty misconceptions.
I don’t follow your rules.
Instead I break them.
I am my own person.
I am not your typical teen.
!Stereotype someone else!...

Match the heritage
to the disease,
And
We'll all see a translucent tree
Out of surprising bottles

It’s all the mistakes,
That seem to illuminate the leaves
Streaming mindlessly with lines
That embodies the stereotype

If I line up
All the left over Christmas lights
Along the branches
Of jagged glass, 
Will my blood shed serenity
And knowledge to the problem?

Each night I paint the roots
Another color,
So I won’t repeat,
The artistry of concern...

My loved one
she is an oasis
a rare species
lemon of the cloister grape
in  Savannah

she parades beauty
she made a proposal to God
before her creation
hips to happily embrace
eyes that cares me with joy

she is not ordinary 
she isn't the stereotype
her complexion,
a manuscript to read hymns from 
when she walks, all the world behind her

you are the beat of me
you are like holy water from paradise
flower of the firmament
wrought by divine craftsmen...

The masses are yelling
Yell of no one is heard
Societies of infection
Drags of bones
Not having depression,
Nor using drugs,
And the no one shouts:
“……..”
Individual and art
Poor masks of poors
The stereotype one
: “We are right”
Characters are broke
Masks are still held
More diseases spread out
The generation survives
Era, feeling of decades,
And sense of themes reborn and die
Human fads, still proves himself
Mumbles loudly: “…….”
Oh…adaptable creature!...

were misunderstood
stereotyped
and made into shapes 
that we don't want to be
we want to be us
not the kid in that show
not the kid in the street who does drugs
not the shy kid who never speaks up
we want to be the kids who will be themselves 
who can stand up and say no
say that they can be different
we are those kids
so don't stereotype us
saying what we aren't 
cause were different 
and you cant change that



this poem is about
Adolescence
