Short Supervised Poems

Morality is mainly 

The product of compassionate acts

That 

Are inspired by the divine, 

Supervised by wisdom,

And 

Applied by love!

The Nile was serene
    its riverbank green
  Cleopatra the Queen
    supervised poverty obscene

  Ancient Egypt's glory?
    'twas short, brutish and mean
  for builders of pyramids
    worn out at eighteen...

Once there was a boy, 
too poor to be loved.

That is why he met a girl
and broke her heart.

He gave her hope 
and run away

Then came back
but decided not to stay.

All that's left,
the memory of a romantic night

Supervised,
by the government’s eye....

Only when, 

The edifice of happiness,

Is:

Conceived,

Designed,

Built

And 

Maintained

By

Wisdom

And 

Supervised by unselfishness 

Could 

Withstand the test of time!

The bald man is proud
He goes around boasting;
“Earth is congested and small.

Believe or reject this fact,
All places on earth are unfit
Lord God chose my head
Daily to land there as airport

Mankind and all creatures
Are supervised, judged by God
Not in heaven but from my head”...

What good can come
  from the malevolence of today
Our jaws dropped to the floor
  as insurrectionists held sway

Our faith in our institutions shattered
  and, yes, in ourselves too
To handle the transition of power
  like democracies do

Staying angry won't help
  Instead we can learn a couple of lessons
To run 'by the book,' tightly-supervised elections
  ~ and never to let anyone with our capitol be messin'...

A means was hurriedly devised
To have their profiles revised,
A great deal improvised
And staff strictly supervised…

Also, a means to be apprised
Of Interview questions not surmised,
To have them earlier analyzed
For  minds to be better advised…

And what it should cost summarized
To have the inspector’s toilet standardized,
His official car customized
And reserved fruits liquidized!

All ahead of his notified inspections
With staff-dropping intentions....

Summer is always such a pleasure,
Summer is always a treasure.

Summer days that came and went,
Summer almost God sent.

Summer sun hot to behold.
Summer that is pure gold.

Summer beautiful to see,
Summer just for you and me.

Summer swims in a supervised lake,
Summer a picnic with a delicious cake.

Summer sing and dance,
Summer a good time too take a chance.

Summer a walk with a handsome friend,
Summer days without end.
