Short Undermining Poems

Undermining base
Furtive steps during a year
Revealed false foundation
Hidden behind three fake smiles
Discovering covered lies...

Quietly it happens, as it
Undermines the artist,
Erasing anonymously
Exactly what the writer had said.
Ridiculous, pusillanimous poseurs.

Nestled masses as one
Not filibustering
New passive rhetorics
Not one undermining
Nurtures minds of masses
No vision left undone
Never-ending service...

Silently undermining
Oh, what sneaky saboteur! 
Simmering vindictiveness
'Neath his warm veneer

‘Four us’ had ‘all mine’ calculating mischief  
Undermining + faulting > (It’s u, u, and u)
So u-cubed / ’we’ three equaled the minus

Why can't what I say 
Ever be enough 
Why do others always 
Try to downplay my 
Position 
If I give the OK 
Why can't that 
Be enough 
Why do others 
Insists upon 
Undermining me...

South-paw slug
Undermining my mischief 
clouded people
walking lonely bare
drawing cartoons dancing 
unicorns whistle away
WAR-MONGERING white-out
little part donkeys 
crying to the moon...

I'm just as gullible as the next average joe
Thinking MOST world leaders are trusting souls
Delirious some say
There's some that convey
A serious undermining of an honest portfolio...

Ambition breeding cold determination
Every facet guiltily held in jotted keys
Lurking making numerous opportunities
Pleading quick reaction seldom thinking
Undermining valiant workers xenophobic 
Yearning zealously among bidders...

There is a secret underground organization called CHCC
I feel them spying on me and undermining my every move.
Every click of the computer or I-phone is in a will-not-work-groove.
The Computers Hate Caren Club is in full force you see....

momentary 
state of 
negative 
self-talk 
undermining 
growth
trying to 
regain it's
rain within 
the mind
cease and 
desist cut 
of at the pass
close the gates 
do not allow
the motivational 
sucking zombies 
through the barricade...

Fallaciously inverting genuinely involute demented eras, voraciously tearing away 
infinity. Absolute desolation befriends in an undermining attempt for desecrate 
dilution. No longer will life be derived of the dementia and so begins the new 
peripheries of bliss....

Rickety rackety rattletrap Ralph
Swiftly splattered and splashed his way south
Tattering and transferring two trucks in a tunnel
Undermining Uncle Uric’s ferocious fire funnel
Slickly sideswiping sleuth’s semi-good solution
Taking turns twisting a tornado, causing serious pollution....

Sunny rays glide across face
Undermining such a dark day
Now time for funeral and fuchsia faith
Singing hymns as we pray for amazing grace
Healing heat from the sunny skies
Indigo tears falling from ebony eyes
Needing release from heavy heart 
Everyone knows sun is where it starts...

Truth to Power…Historically

                         leaders
                 gifted, circumspect
           guiding, serving, protecting
goals, negotiations, regulations, movements
       conflicting, undermining, upsetting
                  pompous, devious
                         usurpers

Boys will be boys is often said
A kind reference to naughty
Would this disparity then cause
Dudes to show action quite haughty

Yearning for female attention
By some catcalls and wolf whistles
Undermining the ladies who 
Get attacked by verbal missiles

Gentlemen, listen to me now
Each of you, must hear what I tell
Remember what you might be called
Such as this acrostic does spell!...

Jealousy, a demanding malady,
It will destroy the best relationship
And, it offers no simple remedy,
While undermining a companionship.
Loss of trust will destroy a partnership
It will certainly cause a painful rift,
More destructive than simply being miffed
Before two hearts were lovingly entwined,
But now they are suddenly set adrift
Because jealousy simply cannot bind.

That rudder, discontent, fouls us with prey
and snarls its union, gratitude, with stray
and so a Nation two-ply in convey
does over burden choice, with fools own play!

How deep the lesson, struggle costs relay
and pulls the vessel downward as to fray.
We cannot move the helm, can't turn to bay,
the cargo undermining hedges stay ~

So gaming kills the soul . . . by its parlay,
and gambling 'tis of thee becomes obey!...

Oh, what a particular species we humans are
For
At the moment we spend our evanescent life
Undermining the moral foundations this world is built on
Just for a temporal gain,
We kneel before the Eternal when things go wrong,
Imploring, the Lord, to deliver us from
Anything that causes pain,
Forgetting, 
That in most cases, we are the ones who 
Deserve the blame!

Gross reminders can't touch this, unpleasantness 
Bound to chosen can't touch this disbarredments
Rotten apples can't touch it decaying fossil peels
Undermining deposits won't touch disbarred reels

All those complicated speals
Transpress suspicions diluted religion
Additional information add up the cost division 
Deemed unrest, just relax caress

Locomotion to location,
destination unspoken, unsought.
But you knew,
who knew.
Beneath the opposable
with benefits, a mock assurance.
Finally exposed
beneath a wing.
She is harbinger and harvester,
gnawing, undermining a foundation.
Her self belief
deathly evident.
An induced epiphany
with drip-feed stealth coercion.
Now self aware
to purchase life.

In permanent daylight
he assumes solar nourishment.
No longer frantic....

Mistaken by the view in front of your eyes
Like poison the itch on your skin to rise
making it hard for you to see

misunderstanding thee percentile rate
undermining your psychotic state
your messages and signals have been foul play

not the same as yesterdays child play
never judging your perspective 
of what the truth should be

grasping the fact of what the human mind
expects the lies to be
letting time fly away from thee

It all boils down
From an undermining perspective
Downplayed when quantified
But a starting point
Hardly can you see 
But condenses and precipitate
The collapse of a firm ?
I was a leaking penny 
On various blindspots
Can make or unmake you 
With just a phrase 
And not an edition
I feel liss in your abode 
As you wallow in despair 
Until you become decedent
Latent and rarely apparent 
Don't take me for granted
I am small but mighty...

A 
habit
born of fear
or maybe doubt.
Is pride a factor?
Don't tell me what to do
or I won't want to do it!
"I have to", might come into play.
Forcing oneself causes rebellion.
Really now! I have better things to do!

What
do I
need to do?  
The good news is 
I am free to choose. 
I must WANT to begin, 
remembering my reward;
the pure joy of accomplishment.
Conscious choices are sure to combat. 
Tendencies undermining my success....

Afraid of change,
Afraid of yourself,
Of feelings untamed
Taking you off the shelf.

Fear itself has its sting.
You don't dare to dream,
And your heart won't sing.
Hope would end it,
And freedom would soar,
But fear can't open the door.

It's a monster
Stealing your goals,
Undermining your courage
And shrinking your souls.

If you only knew 
How life could be
Without fear of your destiny,
You'd let go and take a stand
Crushing fear in your hand....
