Short Subjugated Poems

Independence-
Hypnotic illusion, absurd intoxication
The more I enjoy the more I feel subjugated!

The Lord's divine law

Evil has subjugated --

Unwise man revolts!

Wear the mask
Graffiti tunnel
Windy inside
Worse above

Pretty defaced message
Spray paint tired

Isolated crowd
Echoed shroud

Subjugated love
Tread enraged

Rotting beneath
Porcelain crown...

THAW




The fearsome ice
Held us all in thrall
  - Mighty,  weeks ago  -
Now bows its head 
To the sun’s holy fire:
Subjugated without grace,
Piercing ice spears dulled,
Cold grip pulled loose,
Harsh white glare commuted
To green gaze....

Sometimes Sister Sarah seems subjugated
Sometimes she seems simply silly,
Sometimes she suddenly screeches shrilly
Sometimes she sounds sophisticated,
Sometimes Sister Sarah shrugs surreally.

Prey or predator, what’s our choice
Is there a third option
Hark in stillness, to conscience voice
Exit agitation

By God, so created
Blissful heart, elated
Why be subjugated

Neither holds favour
Prey or predator

Ginnels are cavernous and gloomy
Between smoke-stained dwellings
Under the close watch of a warship
Where the flowers of beauty bloom
abundantly available
Ugliness is merely apparent
With the likelihood of being subjugated

Mystery upon your bed
westwind blowing
through your head
catch her question,
roll it'round
give the answers you have found
culminate her searching,
seeking
hurry now,her interest's
peaking
you have only one
endeavor
that will prove that you
are clever
click your heels
in bright salute
Yes,my dear!
a new
recruit!...

You say see it your way
Trying hard to convince
Me repeat what you say
Each word I painfully wince

Memory has sharp twists
Heavy mind candidly speaks
Reasons counted off lists
Your narrative has leaks 

Nonsensical tremors control
The levers of guilt pulled
Relegated to a desperate role
Your idea of brainwashing sold

My squeezes
And
I feels

My'z dukes lock together
their digits in union
clutch

My throat
the subjugated uv 
my thump'n
flump'n heart
Lumps up

my'z eyne
puffed
beating
forcing the little left
salty wet
out
clouding mine i'z
look

my  
hurts

unto mine depths
i
hurts

unto this flooding
cry

Taking a bit in his season to spin about their coast this coast
Around her globe the same old song as dance, headlines; wrenching
Stomachs wretched poisons turning your ever present of prevailings truths
Kept be a bitter bottle her babylon; forever and a day it seems this purity oils lamp
Subjugated unto darkened spools his spawned weaving children; fallon's prince their air....

I was raised among the autumn leaves
Subjugated to the seasons    
And the mirth of the wind
Transfixed by the passing moon
That sad old man
Who claims to be wise, yet utters naught
More guidance I have found from the lonely Lilac
And the vole; and the sympathetic rain
Than I have from Luna
For I am lonely and fear that soon
I too will be the aggregate 
Of time and erosion...

Torn betwixt a world I’ve known and a world I am yet to know,
the emotions rush in… intense and suffocating.
hope is lost, consequences I sow, 
devoid of any sense, any kind of understanding…

I am abandoned by the life that I’ve lived, 
betrayed by my own actions, by my own thoughts.
no more insights to impart, no more lessons to give,
I am, but subjugated, in this war that I’ve fought....

Considering if we were a spirit; subjugated to endure as also, view...
These the darker side in night's, atrocities committed by many their life
Upon another's here amid humankind yet not only they, rather all of creation
Perdition it would somehow seem this vicarious vexation ? Derelict shame disgraceful
Beastlialities such dymanics; forging forcefully about her universe resounding; ectoplasmic....

Fictitious families
Dysfunctional means
Compromised children
Capricious teens

Serrated self-loathing
Culling scarred skin
Dapper diagnoses
Dulling depression’s din

Psychotropic pulses
Sedentary screams 
Subjugated subjects
Catharsis of dreams

Dusk dawning
In convenience’s vanity
Vociferous voices
Pilfering sedated sanity

Slurred smiles
Lithium lies
Hanging from vestiges
Suicide survives...

Wrenched from bushland
To London Zoo, they labelled you
“Jumbo” – fed you by hand.
 
African Wonder! You were feted,
Reduced to spectacle,
Humorous vehicle,
And otherwise humiliated.
 
Submissiveness turned to rage;
Branded dangerous;
A threat to all of us! –
And so condemned to Barnum’s cage.
 
Now your sad name’s applied
To all your related
Who’re captured, subjugated;
Dignity, majesty: all denied....

To be spoken silently
In that unpleasant tumult 
Lurking behind the facade
He does not suspect in what wild fear
He'll join with her in a fatal play
Thus he sees his life as 
an outrageous fortune 
Like thunder shuttering orisons
The demented contempt of a puny mind
Repudiated into self negation
And subjugated himself into an empty shell
Infused into such subjective depositions
That leaves him with no refuge...

Calling you up
on the phone
all 1600 of us
are on the line

between the hours of two and 4 am
free falling
75 miles an hour
shattered me like glass

struggling we go to the edge
a procession for the king
the subjugated called
bringing news 
speaking in tongues
flayed

l learn to shut up, listen while
hopelessness, plagues, drought and suffering
escape 

leaving only this skin hanging on the branches
withdrawn and awake 
in the new nowhere...
