Societal Poems

Breaking the Societal Norm

A delicate dance, a subtle sway,
Expectations woven, in a societal way.
A woman waits, with passive gaze,
For a man to lead, with financial ways.

He pays the bill, the ring, the wedding fee,
The provider role, a lifelong decree.
She expects support, for herself and her kin,
A one-way street, where love may give in.

But some women defy, these norms

What was his problem??

What was his problem?
He never did anything below the belt in this world.

What was his problem?
He never looked at a girl with the wrong sense of commitment.

What was his problem?
Looking at every possible thing in life
and trying to enjoy it,
even when he was suffering deep inside.

What was his problem?
When he was told he should be

MEDIATION

A couple of days ago 
I had an encounter 
It was very educational 
Many lives in illusion 
They're very delusional
If you're not aware
You'll fall in their well
Then You start living in a warfare.

They believe in illusion 
Which is void
Thinking it's reality 
No wonder 
Christ was crucified 
The truth is really bitter 
They all like sugar

Diary of a Hot-Blooded Woman

Society sure has a lot to say 
on how middle-aged women should behave. 
Who dares to sanction that fire still alive inside?
In this her fiftieth year, she curses her sex-drive.
For she has prayed for years for someone to love,
Imposed voluntary abstinence to honour the Man above.
Perhaps, she shall marry at sixty-five
Until then, the fight continues

In The Midst of Chaos

Why do we wait till the very last minute? 
Is the world not always calling,
Yet we don't respond.

Does it take a crazy emergency,
For us then to see an immediate urgency?
Why do we wait till the very last minute...

Yes, life happens.
But, what does being ignorant do?
Yet we don't respond.

Just because sorrow isn't always
In the light of

Defying Societal Beauty's Chains

In a world where beauty's confined,
To a frame, a shape, so pre-defined.
I refuse to bow to discrimination's hand,
Refusing to let it define me.

No more the shackles of slim and packed,
A revolution, where all sizes are backed.
Let every size find equal ground,
Opportunity for all, in beauty abound.

Tired, I am, of body shaming's sting,
Stripping away personalities, it's

Navigating Through Sedimentation and around Societal Keloids

Forced diversity has led to a compacted social sedimentation.
Another flavor of oppression...for everybody.... this time around.
There's a heavy undercurrent of resentment and hatefulness.
Tugging souls down to where there's no air-no light -no honor.

A few well intended veins are attempting to traverse the compaction.
but they're thin- fragile-guilt ridden-unsustainable.
Destined to slowly wither or quickly bleed out.

The Silent Cries

Mothers of the world, I plead with you,
For each child you nurture, a life anew.
Be they good or bad, in your arms they grew,
Amidst a harsh world, let anger subdue.

Fathers standing tall, can you comprehend?
The struggles they face, the wounds they must mend.
Frowns breed chaos, let compassion ascend,
Boys forced into men, a cycle we must

Societal Issues and Perilous Times

Societal Issues & Perilous Times
By: Miracle Man
5/20/2021

Today, we are living in a world of chaos,
where many are engrossed in driving wedges.
Anyone who is different is fair game and racist.
Social justice, woke, and Cancel Culture is the narrative. 

It’s like living in an old class B western movie.
Gun sales are skyrocketing, and many conceal carry.
 We

The Glaring Truth

Hate and intolerance, wicked evils of the world.
Prejudices, biases, and bigotry
ran high and rampant -
in times of unrest and hardship.

Why are some so thoughtless?
I realize that hate is not something
that is natural to us.
From the early beginning of life,
that spontaneously sprung into existence.
Like a blade of grass appearing unbeknownst
in a silent crack on the sidewalk.

Digital

Digital age, digital technology, digital people
Digital adds to life
Digital subtracts from life
But why?
Because:
People make things
People change things
People use things
People abuse things
So:
Digital education for everyone
Then:
Digital technology for everyone
Young and old, rich and poor, here and there
Reboot society
Reboot life
Reboot digital!

The Black Man

He lives his life in a fear of poverty and abandonment so,
He works his ass off,
No Leave him, this guy can handle it.
Need a drink? 
Who the black man? 
Nah he can handle it.
Over time? 
The extra hours?
Black guys can handle it.
Give it to the black man, sure he can handle it.
He goes home,
