Premium Member His Life and Times

A day laborer was he
His diet, stale bread
   and weak tea

Hadn't much to say
for he wasn't well-spoken

Never took a break
'til he was already broken

Tangent of Intangibility

well-spoken well-meaning 
attempts at getting to the 
heart of the matter getting
down to the root of the problem
never worked out to my benefit 
always went a stray off onto another 
tangent of intangibility
Form: Lyric

Words

thoughts

become a

tapestry of words

when well spoken

or dabbed

in staccato strokes

like the oil brush

of an artist

on canvas

crave the gentle

caress of words

like the intimate

touch of woman

Common

COMMON
What do we all have in common
Sometimes people just pretend to be forgotten
How can we overcome our worst fear to brighten
The promises are empty when they are just well spoken

Read well spoken less

Hopeless pull
like water fall
she walks with silk and breaths airs milk
I fell for her as words fell over
her mind like knives and quick like spoken
words less said shes here she's wed
I fell for her as words fell over
Her body pulsed 
I fell all spoken.

They've Betrayed Us - III, Part II

...Well-spoken liars in a suit,
lawyers look like saints next to them,
the only constant that we know
is they will lie to us again.
Betrayed the trust we placed in them
to make propaganda and swill,
reporters are a plague on man,
so yes, treat these scumbags like filth.

Well- spoken people are
widely admired and they
win the hearts of people.
Wise and worthy deserve
wealth and fame in their lives.
Witty make other's life
wonderful with wisecracks.

An Unexpected Visitor

A well spoken Martian came calling last week
He popped in the house for a chat
Though I wasn’t displeased 
When he coughed and he sneezed
I was miffed when he swallowed my cat
He said “ I am frightfully sorry, 
It isn’t like me to do that
You must think me a hog
For I much prefer dog
Or a rodent like rabbit or rat”

Premium Member Wish Well

Though I may be well-spoken,
And I may be well-read, 
And I may be well-dressed,
Because I may be well-bred,
I may have good intentions,
And I may be well-loved,
And I may be well-off,
And be well-thought-of,
But until living for Jesus
Has become my life’s goal
I'll never know in my heart
That all's well with my soul

Premium Member Unequivocal

You ask those questions why Head and Hands and spirit races towards the skies Unequivocal A man speaks of promises He raised much questions he's an alarmist Well poised well-spoken man a politician Devout His specialist is attrition To erase the nation Does prominence is dominated by Satan Unequivocal

Google Understands Me

Google understands
Me
You
may not, but Google does
So does Alexa
If I had another daughter
I would name her Alexa
What I imagine Alexa to look like...
brown hair, olive skin, glasses,
5"5',  petite, green eyes, casually
dressed in khaki's, polite, and well-spoken
But, what are the voice commands?
"I love you like a love song baby"
The singer is in Hawaii in her bathing suit
Selena Gomez- "Wolves" 
My deceased grandmother's name was Lupe
It means wolves

Premium Member Lost Voices of Reason

Listen! Do you hear lost voices of reason?
They are distinct sounds dimly perceived,
Mingling among a cacophony of mindless
Ideas and thinly disguised platitudes.
Some are out-and-out misrepresentations
Sounding like virtuous words well-spoken,
But are a phony patter passing for truth.
Who can tell what is truth ‘midst clamor?

Premium Member Little Deal

Human culture’s based on lies
So is the civilization
But I eat those homemade pies
One’s debunk and lamentations
I don’t need as well as others
Poor solaces, well spoken
Anyway I’m not their brother
Fine that brotherhood is broken
We’re supposed to take what’s real 
But I don’t feel that I must
To discern my little deal
Try a magnifying glass
But I doubt if it’s worth
Any effort, so it’s clear
We are guests upon this earth
And the host is nowhere near.

The Challenge

It’s so easy to love the loveable
Those that smell wonderful
They are well spoken
Mannerly
Have the same religious beliefs 
Political beliefs
Possibly close to the same economic status

But what of the unlovable
They may smell offensive
They may be too loud or too crude
Rude
No religion,
Conflicting political views
Poor and without status
Dressed oddly
And quite possibly scary
And outside your norm

Whatever you do 
To the least of these
You do unto Christ
Does that make it easier
