RE: Poeticisms Out From The Left Field

"A personal shout-out to our sponsors and their vapid articulations who made this message possible," ... by The Poet.

Poets and poetesses ascribe to a greater call, 
in their endeavors to make their chosen path a cure-all 
from those who trivialize and minimize their virtuous 
field of poetry's righteous domain and their arduous 
measures to maintain a certain quality in their works
of art, to the world of writers past and present, networks
that tethers a fragile grasp on absolutes discipline, 
and severance from the mundane, effortless, and simpleton,
out from the left field, melodramatic, sugarcoating,
southpaws are unreasonable and consequently, nothing 
our opponents that come out from the left field properly
have no concept of true value to offer poetry.

Dictum Dichotomy

Amulet graced by gems
clad for stratum prow

tawny glyphs
margin of witticism

& quagmire

extravagant dictum
trivialize shores trails

summer ousted
& waves of wrangles

sundered the ocean 
& swapped my spirit

in crimson burst
swirl to scatter

In demolishing ruins 
& twilight crumble 
slump of man

glittering Phoenix fire trail
scribble a cyan-xantos rhyme. 
 
bore a shallow rostrum

defective soothsayer 
haunts dreams? 

hilltops & both 
oceans & skies

cyclone of  emotions
&
lethargic sadness
soul storm mulling.

Picture of the Kids

At the great concession stand,
They hold back on souvenirs
Mostly, wet stuffed animals in the rain
They trivialize the culture
And submit to their careers
And raise the children to point the finger of blame
 
That’s why I carry around
A picture of the kids
To remind me of the
One great thing that I did
 
I salute myself in victory
In my company of one
My badge of courage flashed for all to see
Though I crawled like a dog from the trenches,
Whimpering like a spoiled son,
I’ll gladly shake hands with anyone not shooting at me
 
And carry around
A picture of the kids
To remind me of the
One great thing that I did
 
Freedom’s weight is an anvil
And we fashion our own chains
Living under an uneasy image of ourselves
But maybe we hear a prisoner
Planning his getaway
And invite him on over to visit our lonely cells
 
So I carry around
A picture of the kids
To remind me of the
Only thing I ever did

The Kick It Ticket

not easily dissuaded
but recently persuaded
to oscillate in ways
living my lingering days

all bets are off
often I have scoffed
demeaning my demise
postponing I trivialize

I have a list to ask
prioritized by task
listings I'll conceive
or perhaps believe

would homelessness set me free 
reality does not deceive
or should I ponder yonder 
while continuing to wander

the bucket I shall kick it
for my Savior is the ticket
it’s become clear to me
it's Glory I need to see

Demonize Or Energize

Overanalyze and criticize, demoralize and ostracize
  Modern pundits legitimize their vicious exercise

Scrutinize and standardize, compartmentalize and cannibalize
  Wizards of efficiency synchronize, initialize and circumcise

Demobilize and paralyze, stigmatize and de-humanize
  Westernized pols, their constituents balkanize and polarize

Trivialize and miniaturize, standardize and sterilize
  Thought-police priesthoods evangelize and moralize

Why can't they fraternize and socialize?
  Why don't they harmonize and compromise?

Ought To Be

If I don’t know 
How to raise my voice
Then I should not shout

If I don’t know
How to accept the reality
Then I should not rebel

If I don’t know
How to address a situation
Then I should not trivialize it

If I don’t know
How to be an alternative
Then I should not castigate the existing

If I don’t know
How to know something
Then I should not conclude it doesn’t exist

If I don’t know
How much is known to me
Then I should not mouth anything in entirety

Every Dog Has Its Day

Every dog has its day
even the cactus will bloom one day
so try try try until you win
and one day, your life will begin

When the truth never prevails,
and the untruth fails to fail,
do believe, its just the obscured sky.
Your clouds will pass by and you will fly

When people lead you on,
and make you feel down,
remember,Life is not a running race
and there is no urge to chase

Don't be petrified to take risks
Don't ever rely on your luck.
Don't try to turn your clock
and don't trivialize yourself, because

Every dog has its day
even the cactus will bloom one day
so try try try until you win,
and one day your life will begin

Caretakers of Your Heart

Friends, like candles, enable you to see
personal faults, through sympathetic eyes,
and never flicker, should you disagree.

Even subjected to the third degree:
standing steadfast, they will not compromise:
friends, like candles, enable you to see.

Offering unflinching friendship for free,
friends, rejuvenate and revitalize:
and never flicker, should you disagree.

Applauding your accomplishments with glee:
although others tend to trivialize:
friends, like candles, enable you to see.

Caretakers of your heart, they hold the key
to unlock the virtues they recognize:
and never flicker should you disagree.

Pushing you to be all that you can be:
they even defend your outrageous lies.
Friends, like candles, enable you to see:
and never flicker should you disagree.

Spring Will Be

This year, sleeping spring refuses to rise
too long overdue but not a surprise
as the weak sun hidden in thick cloud lies
masked by stubborn mists in leaden grey skies
with temperatures way below normal highs

Lack of sunshine and warmth can jeopardize
crop growing and a good harvest denies
Persistent rain leads to insect demise 
essential bees drowned and no butterflies
to help fruit and flowers to fertilize

It’s difficult to overemphasize
the full impact a delayed spring implies
or the effects on mood trivialize
Lack of sun makes depression demoralize
many folks and others traumatize

Often, the thing to do is recognize
defeat and climb aboard a plane that flies
off to a land that sees the sun arise
and soak up UV rays (perhaps unwise
transformed to a mummy when parched skin dries)

Despondency

You may withdraw yourself from others
Become quiescent or lackadaisical
Disrupt sleep or appetite alter
Feel sluggish or delirious

When the echoes of your parents'altercations
Rack up your eggshell mind
When you avoid people whose company 
You've typically rejoiced relishing

Yet you remain part of the quotidian process
That regaling you would your emotions trivialize
The world should revere your right
To confront a loss thouroughly 

Convalesce from their turgid prosperity
Immerse your weighty dejections
Schedule some constructive episodes
I can but accolade your approach

To coin a new gist of aliveness
Absorb and merriment apprize
Amend lamenting into cleansing
Strike a joke or be sarcastic

Amass and boast your high-pitched impetus
And above all your insights vitalize 
Extoll your bewitching sorcery 
And perceive a world better to be.

Venting

Why am I not allowed to vent my frustration, anger and annoyance at your incompetence?
Remain poised, you say.
Calm down, you say.
Don't be so passionate, you say.
Why can't I expose and tell you exactly how I feel about your irritating, petty ways?
How much you trivialize things that are serious!
How much you take for granted opportunities that the  underprivileged among us would die for!
How frustrating it is to know that if it was a different time or place I could be somewhere else, doing something else but I choose to teach you, however, ungrateful you are!

Pernicious Pols

Drivel and
snivel or
swivel the words
to trivialize
the lies
and semantic games
played in the names
of citizens like ... Joe.

Pronounce 
to pounce
and renounce
an opponent
in a smear word war waged
beneath our collective contempt.

Like the proverbial
snake with the pernicious
forked tongue,
they speak
to squeak
in rhymes of rot
caring not
for the confusion
delusion
of hopes lying shattered
in the booth.

Go ahead and vote
but don't gloat,
for the bloat
and secrecy
will always be.

Bond

The bond that keeps extending
Like the waves that run the beach
Is way beyond what we pretend
Is just within our reach...

Reminding us we're not alone
When we need a hand
Will often be that second set
Of footprints in the sand...

A mothers gift to every child
From moment of conception
The innocence of that first smile
Still hiding from rejection...

It takes two lovers down the aisle
With every good intention
It justifies without a trial
Without our intervention...

Humankind still tries to find
A reason to explain it
But the ones who trivialize
Are ones who can't sustain it...

Shipwrecked Eyes

"Dripping faucet
mocking all your tears
False hope upon hope
You've raised throughout
the years

Taped laughs
of a love so long ago
Broken by the breech
of death
Why, we'll never know

Those words once spoken-
Those words you do memorize
Reflect in the pain I see
In those Shipwrecked Eyes

Yes, there're gone, so gone
Alone we seem to be left
Angered by our destinies
And those we love, and God's theft

There was a time before
There will now always be
A time to call "after"
There once was a time of joy
There was once a time of laughter

For us the laughter replaced
by pain
Where once there was sunlight
Now naught but pain

When it comes to longing
for things gone by
You are now the Queen
Your heart too often melted
And you know what I mean

Of your pain-
I'd never trivialize...
For now it's clear
And now I can see
And now I realize
What it is that brought to you
Those oh so,so,so sad...
Shipwrecked Eyes

Those who live
Those we love
Those we idolize
Leave us, oh so
suddenly...
Stranded here...
With Shipwrecked Eyes."
