Short Tribes Poems

Tribes,

Don't know,

The First World War,

The second,

And,

Not to be destroyed by the last!...

They raised eyes to the skies and gave Him a name

A country needs a culture
    a recognizable national vibe

  Without one what you've got
    is a bunch of squabbling tribes...

The Maker of violets and roses 
Gave a land to the tribes led by Moses
In antiquity
For eternity
And all of humanity knows it....

lost tribes
worlds away
shunning progress
living on yesterdays…
always

dragons
underground
bones long asleep
yesterdays overstay…
ever...

from tribes 
        we have come,
                 to tribes we return.
                       E Pluribus Pluribus

Foundling in an equatorial land
By African apes,raised by hand-
Swinging by rope,from tree to tree
Finding lost tribes,living free-
Tar......zan...to you & me....

yaupon, but not yopon
yet type small holly tree
yields, pure caffeine-rich leaves
yearn American tribes
yes, used centuries old
youngberries stimulate
yahoo, rousing draft drink...

Hostile tribes lived close to mission.
Soldiers' use brought tribes's submission.
They saw life's improved condition.
Life was sweeter.
Sale of mission reaped attrition
Day joys fleeter....

"Buy one get one free" the punchline,

Very old like tribes the punchline,

Very old like tribes the punchline,

Buy Potato,

One pot free,offers POTato!....

Animals and birds enjoy no seasons,

In summer,

In winter,

In hot and shower,

Tribes wearing leaves,

Hot summers releasing me from coats,

Cold winters keeping me inside the coats,

Why?...

Africa, beautiful continent
Dreamy echoes fascinate
Giraffes heighten inclines
Jurassic known linger
Madagascar nestles offshore
Primates quest reform
Savannah tribes umbilical
Visioned waves x-ray
Young zebra...

Barbarians trampled through the empire.
They came in waves from wherever was home.
Boors killed Romans and set buildings afire.
Cities were laid to waste when tribes would roam.
These ruffians lit Rome’s funeral pyre.

Light a cinder
For all accumulated burdens
Life renews in a millisecond
As veins pump golden stories

Bonfire for vanity-
is good to feast on doubt
Celebrating royal love
Like tribes in weary sands

Realizing time is a gambit
Universe is out on loan
Are we are the passage...

Every summer, there were always places
In which we slumbered together.
I once believed it’d all be lost forever.
No matter, however, we’ll always be together.
Be it through mine poems alone,
Or when all of the people gather,
Like all of the tribes I once ever known....

If you heard a Soup Censor holler
They just saw a Cook Islands dollar
Allowing for windage
That Tiki appendage*
Could incite a 9-1-1 caller! 


* Gershon-approved, i.e., circumcised
Is that sufficient evidence
the Lost Tribes of Israel 
were on a Cook-out?...

Soldiers fear Warship, 
Labourers hardship,
Demons fellowship, 
Tribes citizenship,
Chaos leadership
Thugs Governorship
Loners long friendship
Fat Guys sportsmanship
Backbenchers headship
Men secretaryship:
Another man's Worship...

Fear is a spread thing
Mine fails not to ring....

Some heard as his mother 
stood over ironing in the 1947
summer of Hatboro, Pa.. 
Some of the songs
in black and white
Saturday evening television circles. 
Some later, songs of folksy pretension.  
The songs persist 
anchors of memory, 
like the crystaline 
seeds of clouds, 
matrons of tribes....

old horn
new age begins
hands turn the cycle back
as men to old tribes is inclined
the bright new iron, the axe, the helmet
those swords of yesterday arise
weary world turns again
to a past world’s
old horn

Where are the Dinosaurs gone?,

Tracing beyond the Amazon forests,

Plants and lives loaded,

To the Noah's ship in safe,

On a head count, the tribes,

Passed the Earth in peace,in dearth and death,

Roll over the sky labs into the woods,

To save the dying noses and not the Di nos aurs!...

gusts of raucous laughter
greet wide smirk jesters coruscating flippant jibes
sought after

humour in train
punchlines on cue evoke swell vibes
heal pain

quips now
stoke fun-starved tribes
wow

gusts of raucous laughter 
punchlines on cue evoke swell vibes
wow

Gracious glance of Goddess
Will surely dispel all darkness

Bringing holy and sacred vibes
Makes one prime among tribes

Today being the tenth day
Goddess allows to make hay

May all luxuries make round
For eternity and abound

May the Trinity bless in abundance
With prosperity and vibrance..!!...

If some one trying to justify,
His decision to put another on the job,
Making weapons to wag war is correct,
His decision to put a tailor on the job,
Making his dress is not correct,
A decision to dwell,
In woods,dark and deep,
With tribes,
Wearing green leaves,
Fighting with animals,
Justifying correct!...

When Bayt lahm guttured Bait lehem,
no bagels and baguettes are baked.

As hummus and labneh melting down,
prickly grapes grown in Golan Heights, 
Awakened Elchanan terminated Goliath.

Raising Rachel tribes of nomadic life,
goes to a mysterious hypogeum.
The underground chamber,
forefather of Hebron and Nablus....
