Unilateral Poems | Examples

Cosmic Lovebirds

Stars spangle this verse,
Fabric-love's universe,
Love so unilateral,
Dude still loves this gal,
Magic continues for us,
Flickers, love needs no fuss,
We're abstracts, we rhyme,
Cosmic lovebirds for all time....

Woke

Woke

When white lies plot the course 
Oscillating between trust and deception 
Kindling radical dialogue with smoking tongues 
Escalating unilateral world supremacy

Demonstrative dedication

Easy to entrance the sycophants watch their helpless dance their back and forth swaying and swooning, in cunnilingual somniloquence.
Droning and drooling with flattering and fawning, turgently swelling, spouting placating pleasantries, a mess of gushing adulation.
Self exultation, craving congratulation by consensus for another conventional  sensation, clamouring for congratulation in lurid inflated infatuation.
Curtailing castigation, striving in strides as pedestrian asperation gives rise to typical inspiration, stillted it saunters soulessly, provoking predicable platitudes.
Dreary dedication denoting the humdrum and the ho-hum, tirelessly tiring, offering effortlessly banal bestowments bequeathing a tepid tranquillising testimonial.
Uniform, unchanged, unilateral applause, amplifying abysmal analogies, articulating dearth depictions of derivative denotations.
Cryptic quips collapse carelessly caused by cumbersome correlating contradictions, deviating detrimentally forth fatuous flutterings.
Stale sentiment, sterile superfluous suppositions, garishly guilded in grandure,
Repetitious rudimentary ruminations, repackaged and retold.

Suitable Nest

Only to be fit 
You will cherish together
You'll live forever. 

Suitable has nothing to do with success and failure. 
But knowing that's not suitable, you will surely fail.
Suitable is not unilateral decision. Nor can communication be established. Natural fit, comfortable, communication is easy. You can spend long speeches, but comfortable afternoon with right person. It takes a lot of effort to sneak from the wrong person to a right love.

Grand old Aunt

Aunt unilateral, naughtily tempting,
Unintentionally naughty toyboys attracting,
Nicely tantalizes ardent uniting,
Teleporting aloft, usurping NASA!

Premium MemberDON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU


Rampancy is AI's path to gaining humanity, don't let it happen to you.   

Viruses of rampancy, people of complacency 
artificial stupidity and tendency of reliency
Power of data trumping over human concurrency  
supraventricular electrical impulses, non-consistency !  

Keypad touch, mobile infancy absorbing frequency 
we are lost in the path of dependency 
A colony of monotonous beings, unilateral efficiency 
communicative only on screen the act of flippancy

The soul and heart of us have lost their tendency 
to communicate with word proficiency 
We have become sedentary, lost in robotic Influency 
and our cel phone is a continuous absorbency

Don't let this artificial world cause you despondency
your spirit is in an urgent state of emergency 
Unplug, go meet nature and lose your dependency
talk to one another and give computers less occupancy.

Premium MemberOnce Called a Season

Spawning a precipice; you switched us off; no good reason
On second thought; no one should take credit or defame,
Unilateral is the only fair way to equally explain
Lackluster would be the sadness of this refrain;

Lamentable was what it left me with; or perhaps disdain,
Envisaging; happy with me; I was too eager to frame,
Sadly, it's overwhelmingly done, all the same
Subverted; a section of our time, was once called a season

Love's Will

"Love’s Will" 

If we could just
get over ourselves
turn the light 
inside out
from dark man
see the beauty 
in all, 
save all;
creatures,
great and small;
those,
that to each 
Other
are different 
and invisible;
get over our
competitive
warring, sick 
unilateral demands,
our tainted will
saturated by 
the underbelly 
of hell’s grime;
then, 
perhaps

LOVE
could attain 
Its grand plan

perhaps
perhaps
perhaps

LOVE
will reveal
without interruption

to secure each
the Other's,
full attention span

voluntarily 
without
intervention,

Its testament,

Its winning 
finale, 
Its full hand.

Memento Mori; Memento Humani

END, Truth, Pain, Life
The beauty in the death of life lies in the life of death.
I sigh in my mortal flesh
Of my mortal thoughts and ask
Should I remind you of your true nature
and your pursuit of final free freedom?
Or your unilateral universe burdened with unending pursuits and endless marathons?

I lost the battle in the East before the West
In these tattered, splintered, useless shreds of crown diamonds
Soaked in the eternal muddy pool veiled with ignorance

I have from my graves will learn
Love, Live, Ask, Think
Suffer, Persevere, Listen, Learn
While wailing waves woven with worry of 
                    SAMSARA

I will dodge raindrops before they pour
And challenge myself to a duel with a mirror
Breath, Move, Grave, BEGIN!

Kharkiv Welcome

Russian soldier, welcome.
You now stand to discard the rule of logic,
welcome to our home, our oblast.
You are welcome to register at the city hall;
fellow tourists with arms, ready to maim, shoot, and kill,
destroy everything, out-Nazi the Nazis.
We know you’re innocent, cannon fodders for your tsar;
we hold him responsible but not you,
for skinning the innocent. 
You stand to learn we’re not enemies,
only neighbors who wish to live free;
we’ll name our streets after you if you
follow your human dignity, if you
refuse to fire, disobey and be free.
Russian soldier, justice is more powerful than the weapon,
truth more dear to God than power. 
You’re welcome to explore our city and
check in for the night, just stay indoor in
curfew hours. 
Welcome to our brave city, writing new
its future epigraph.
Your invasion plan is up in smoke;
it is now your turn to strike 
a unilateral withdraw.

A Distant Thunder

The early morning hours
 were dark and gray
 people hurried from homes without power
 to some refuge far away;
tears shed profuse and tragic
 freedom is a reality that never seems to last
 despite their efforts and their pleas pelagic
 autocratic leaders seek their powers deeply cast;
unilateral tragedies and inhumanity forever return
 beneath the rubble  of smoke and dust
 until democracy and freedom, all hope is burned
 submissive to a dictator's lust;
when you hear and see the smoke and the fires
 a distant rumble drags each of us 
 into the darkness of the quagmire.

Death

The most mischievous of culprits,
A tough veil over its secrets;
Devilishly keeps patrolling incognito
For the unilateral contracts it enters into.

The Eternally Incommunicado;
But easily us reaching without ado,
No signature endorsing after a collection;
Merchandise shipping to abysmal direction,
The reason why I can’t praise its business empire,
Indeed, any transaction with no umpire. 

Fallout of Eve’s naivety,
And unwitting acceptance of Free Captivity,
After “a Do-this-and-not-that” instruction,
Making allowance for reckless decision,
Its fulfillment the handiwork of Cherubims,
Behind leaving their Seraphims,
For a continual swinging of fire-vomiting swords,
That must implement God’s voiced words. 

Today, my ugliest frowns at sabotaging spade,
And the longest sigh for being a mortal made.

Premium MemberDeath Tied Life

What lies waiting
at the end of a self-made
independently empowered
self-invested
"pulled my own economic-political bootstraps"
life?

A unilateral
linear life,
like any passionate journey,
requires an end point
for returning in the opposite direction;

In this lifeline
ego/eco-systemic case,
from regenerative
to degenerating autonomous powers.

What happens
at the end of an emergent spiral,
rainbow,
expanding circle,
oval,
deepening square
and swelling out reverse-triangular power frame,
irregular and mysterious polygon,
other than a renew beginning
into further rooted interdependence,
shadowing memory of where we have been
together before

Another re-cycling
re-purposing
dusk
become cumulative dawn.

Premium MemberIntegrity Embraces Diversity

System integrity can grow more deeply resonant
only as diversity grows more widely interdependent.

Diversely rich integrity
longs to universally emerge
unitarian yin-inclusive
and not uniformly yang-dominant,
exclusive
privileged
supremely kleptocratic.

An economic and ecological reason
Win/Lose capital wealth-accumulation values
trend toward historically WesternWhite male racist privileged mono-structures
is because we do not, instead,
cooperatively co-invest time
and energy
and capital
in diversely interdependent integrity;
reconnecting universal yang wealth values
with unitarian interdependent health-norms.

So, anti-racist multicultural ecosystems
are those fully invested
in pro-active historical culture-deepening
and diversely widening 
integrity
rather than defensive monocultural rabidity.

Racial justice seeks creolizing metamorphosis,
and not colonizing unilateral supremacy,
as does environmental justice.

Both are health-trending
when cooperatively restoring therapeutic EarthJustice
with pulling together Win/Win integrity,
and not Win/Lose pushed apart disintegration 
of bio-
and ego-
and eco-
and geo-systemic diversity.

Premium MemberTired

He’s tired of himself sometimes,
tired of always being him,
thinking his thoughts,
feeling as he always does,
negotiating with his desires. 

Inherently selfish, he’s nonetheless 
not quite dull enough
to constantly overdose on himself 
without feeling claustrophobic. 

Boredom makes him curious 
about the still-unexplored mysteries that lie
just on the other side of his own skin,
beyond the confines of his 
unilateral relationship with the world. 

He wants to stop his ears to the 
lonely, masturbatory soliloquy in his head,
make an opening foray into otherness,
wade into emotions not his own,  

thus, unawares, taking the 
first faltering step 
towards an understanding 
greater than himself.  

He’s tired of himself sometimes,
and, with any luck, 
he may yet find a capacity for love.
