In this day and age when every commercial slanders someone, it's a turn-off
every word she utters maligns, defames and shames
she slurs, slips, and slanders
an expert, she tears down and villainizes
people she knows and people she has never met
no one wants to sit next to her at dinner parties
no worries
she is no longer invited
The walls of despair hides in the dark
Who can phantom the blood guilt of shame?
One moment there is a smile but the night ends in grief
The nightmare of uncertainty rests in the heart of potential
The mind is captured by the caterwaul of regret
Voices refuse to cease due to the human condition
How can one escape from this voracious world?
She slanders her own name
Individualism screams for liberty
Yet, we're trapped by our own understanding
For all the planning
and learned preparation
poetry remains part
mystery
a write only dimly solvable
a poet wisely advised to
proudly accept
all credits, while adhering failures
to sacrificial muses,
the lambs should
be accustomed by now
to writers’ confiscations
and slanders
our best definition:
poetry~ likened to love --
fond works
pinned to the heart
stapled to the velum
of high flying clouds~
hopefully
ascending
for safe keeping
and reunion
When there's no ear when you speak
and you are made to be an oblivious bargain
when trust sounds so far away
and friends become quite cliche
take care, rest well, goodnight.
When feeling burdened,
burdened with pain
when family doesn't see it that way
when there's no one who truly believes
take care, rest well, goodnight.
When misunderstandings are the new hearsays,
slanders guiding your every way
when troubles never seem to go away,
loneliness etched into your veins
take care, rest well, goodnight.
Trials may come,
dishonour on your name
whispers to crush or kill
even though life doesn't go as willed
take care, rest well, goodnight.
Wipe your tears
face your fears
bad days all come and go
remember that you matter more
than any pearls you know
whenever sad, cry all you want
it's alright you know
tomorrow is a brand new day
so goodnight and hope again.
If you knew what it was about
You would be sure you were a lout
And should I forget it this year
Then, could slanders freely bear
And owner’s defenses hear
And retied knots mark with cold beer…
All about A Name you’re wrecking
And the cheap lies you aren’t checking;
An image a friend is hacking
And the wrong person just backing…
If I should you ask to get out
It would be no mutter- A Shout!
After election party-hopping is prohibited
Now come the complains and slanders
Gone the frog comes the toad
Bet is no more bet
Defeat is still far away to be admitted
Hustle and bustle carries on after election and sworn in
Maybe settle scores at an opportune moment
Maybe democracy is challenged
Where's justice
Maybe this is the new way of life
My life has been in a state of loss & semi coma
Every peace in me has destroyed since I fell from the seventh sky / hugging the clouds to hit the bottom of the earth.
I - did not lie to them/ did not feel selfish/ was white to them/ did not mention their names in the wood.
They - have been inside me/stabbed me/ took advantage of my kindness
All those that I gave
My heart - my feelings
Mentioned my names in slanders
I - was now a night their barks could harm / got drown
Gave me wounds with no medicines / got wasted
(Inspired by Dax (dear alcohol)
Besides love and happiness
The world is full of sufferings
Political crisis, economic crisis, epidemics and poverty
Slanders, violations, crimes and trafficking
Politicking, hegemony, disputes and wars
A never ending story of sufferings
Hardly any solutions
But becomes great inspiration for
Story tellers
Art pieces
Poems writers
And
An old grandmother's story for the next generation
Of course an unerasable scandal
Under the dim light of the night
The universe
Looks pitch-dark
Deep
Hollow
Strange
It's a kind of feeling
Maybe empty maybe full
Maybe positive maybe negative
The mysterious universe
Blended with the untold fate
Man comes and goes
Finally doesn't know where to attach
Days and night
The world is facing
Slanders,swindles,massacre
We are facing
Virus,floods,denggi
Transparent
Pervasive
Defendless
Where're the answers
We cannot find them during the day
How about at night
A lot of ways to disguise
Beautiful dresses conceals ugliness
Makes us feel confident
Happy and proud
Arts reveals the beauty of the surroundings
Concealing the destruction of man to the nature
Adds pleasure to life
Music, the melodies from heaven
Concealing the sound pollution of the surroundings
Beautifies life
And reveals the inner beauty of man
Literature
Praises or criticizes
Find the meanings of life
And the inner self of man
And the real state of nature
Speeches from the mouth can be everything
It narrates, it speaks out, it advises, it praises
Or it cheats, it exaggerates, it slanders
We may enjoy disguising for the time being
But a disguise may not be successful sometimes
As our hearts and wisdom know everything
And we'll carry the guilts to the last destiny
Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Her mind performs tasks that are menial;
We never considered ever being congenial;
She slanders
Then ganders;
**** star belonging in colony that is penal.
Jim Horn
Its simply amazing
the way you move your lips
forming words
which fly off
glibly
off your tongue
for a purpose
best known to you
Its simply amazing
the way your wicked mouth
slanders
the souls of your friends and foes alike
while mouthing
sweet nothings in my ear
again for a purpose best known to you alone.
How vacuous is your smile
as your eyes betray
deeper meanings
which are at once sublime
and hollow
beyond words
beyond meaning.
Bloody ravines
Crimson greens
Tumultuous skies
Vacuous eyes
Raucous jubilation
Sonorous ululation
Acrid slanders
Audacious satires
Languid apologies
Acrimonious envies
Man can shrug or guffaw
Makes Gods drop their jaws.

The tyrant Rising
The flow, before the storm,
Gush, before the crushing,
Blood, spread with the squashing,
Liberty spurned, Freedoms decay,
Tools of the Tyrant born.
Pulsing rave conducted, classic,
Citizen slave, ever the same,
Fooled with deceit, the other to blame,
Return to the cave,
Goal of the tyrant born.
Spoken change, given to the air,
Swirling ever born, Slanders truth,
Hate the slur of wealth,
None but privileged few,
Bounty of the tyrant born.
Raise the arm, call the halt,
Family reduced, child eliminated.
Given to greed’s spoor.
Fascists rave, nation the knave,
Given to the tyrant born.
