Syphoning Poems | Examples


Premium MemberThey Came To Steal Our Thoughts

they came to steal our thoughts
consciousness an ocean realm
where drops drip into us in dream and day
and they such thirst and drink do they
an empty vessel will we become
upon their syphoning, drained and gone
harvested, thy human fruit
of beautiful light, wilted, shrivelled
of profound loot, now bodied us
a living dead, left they who stole our thoughts

Premium MemberIn Perpetuity

Offensively defensive posturing
No stopping in sight
No reflection in view

Poisonous to everyone around you
Syphoning greed at record speed
Unchecked unseen
Hollowing the land

Blindly defending your position
Against any raised hand
Any voice of reason

How did we even get here?

We’d have to go back
160 years or so
To explain what should have been buried
A hatred left to fester
A war lost but never truly ended

We rebel against suppression
Understandably so
Sometimes history demands it

An opportunity was missed

The undercurrent of hate
Bubbled up unchecked
A backlash exacted
160 years in the making

A theft imagined
A grievance never real
Where ignorance never left

A way of life
Thought to be put to rest
Was allowed to linger
Civilly unbalanced
Cutting down and
Cutting short lives

The symbolism
The sentiment
Front and center once again

Stirring old fears
Handed down like inheritance

Times change
Some things stay the same

Worse than the hate
Is the silent acceptance

Silence is a choice
One we can break

Port of Spain

Manifestations of your Gauzy Fantasies
Unravelling Bonds of Tangled, Mangled Destinies
Sun of Man Set His Right Eye on Me
Tenaciously Searing, Calculating
To Entrap Me, A Prisoner to His Needs
Inspired A Premedimated Deed did He
With Intent To Plant a Seed!

Stormed Wrecked and Invaded My Archipelago
Pirate Prowess, Sophomoric,
He Stared, I Jeered, Blotted Proviso Smeared
Drenched In Salted Sweet, Freshly Spring Showered Awhile Ago
Armpits Crying, Young Sun, I've Done No Wrong 
No Shade to Evade the Soundless Seranade
As The Father, Not the Sun, Pearched In a Chariot
Cascaded, Paraded Crusade

Blazing Rays, No Mercy, No Refrain
Solar Purgatory, Solicited by the Solar Nova Hovering above Port-of Spain
Evaporated Senses, Smothered Disdain, Budding Foliage Scorched and Drained
Organically Syphoning Hydration Reserved for Lack of Rain
Heat Rashes, Depleted Cortizone Stashes
Senses Assunder, Lost in  Wander
Drifting Sun Stroked, Begging Pardon, Parched and Punished In Port of Spain!

Premium MemberMy Riches Rimas Dissolutas

Creating a harsh blinding glow, 
called everyone and everything; 
Took my scream for their amusement,
syphoning hope where I had bled;

Built from pain they could never know
caught by the power in my sting;
Raping that light without consent 
over and over this happened; 

My riches snatched without repent, 
fragile tears I had never shed.

Light Up Australia

LIGHT UP AUSTRALIA
Born with beauty and natures grace,
gifted with treasures and pleasures.
A blessed paradise for dreamtime eyes.
Such is a land so grand,
once a kingdom of Godly freedom.

Then darkening, sprayed shadowing clouds crept,
blanketing the bright blue skies with natures death,
over evil webs and nests protected by lies.
Poisonous, sickening spiders began to spread,
syphoning, seizing, strangling with suffering this land's spirituality.

Tyrannical tactics, masking madness, and soul seduction,
corruptly creating secret society sediments called governments.
Such is a spellbound stench of their activity,
paedophilia, national robbery, and dis-illusions,
Demolay Free Masonry, and satanic sects.

Australia's humanity surviving in controlled insanity,
a curse that grows deadly darker and worse.
Problem, reaction, solution is the New World game name.
C'mon, Aussies, C'mon,
No more secret sects nor Masonry mania,
time to fight and shine the light Australia
