Vetoed Poems


God , No God, May be God

God , No God, May be God

Question arose there, who created God?
Nor he is begotten, 
No. He begets not.
God. No God. Maybe God. 
Uncertainty told the light a lot
He is sometimes far away, sometimes nearest 
to your integer number of fantasy pages, 
already brought.
There is already a lot on your plate. Truly a lot!
You and stress eating vetoed these   , as   understood
The glory faded away as 
she stood on the deck with the burning sun, behind, a melting pot!
Still a beauty with flawless smile and 
pearls of the forgotten time, as impeccable time sought!
I thought you did! 
You held me up close and it simply withered away during sleep time 
without the faintest clue of any debating try!
With teardrop of a lifetime, lifeline, 
and a parable paraphrase, folklore
equidistantly located loci, of a vagabond sky!

Premium MemberJimmy Carter's Life

One hundred-year-old Jimmy Carter
Loved nature and in Georgia Conservancy a charter (member)
He vetoed the damn for the Flint
Some people's dreams left at a sprint

Walking through the door of my childhood home
brought back tsunami of wisdom overture.
Tastes and colours in décor change with culture;
varied pallet of history in lands roam’.

My children had turned out to be a challenge
as they had early on displayed my talent
for examining and questioning latent
defects papered over; now seeking balance.

We’d a small, intimate wedding reception.
The wallpaper in the lounge is instantly 
recognisable (like kin related distantly),
from the photos. No inkling of deception.

My parents had asked this sweet sixteen to voice
her preference for bedroom to replace staid
pattern reminiscent of a fabric plaid.
But they had vetoed black and white Op Art choice. 

The celebrations of the many milestones, 
spanning the blessed years of three generations
firmly recorded in the decorations;
layers of peeling wallpaper to bare bones.

Parents

Our parents take us just so far
And then we find our way,
No longer captive to the rules
They taught us to obey.

So where we live or what we eat
Or wear or do for fun
Must be decided by ourselves
And vetoed by no one.

Our choices may surprise or shock
Or anger, I suppose,
But that’s the way it’s always been
And how it mostly goes.

Though parents may expect their kids
To their own lives conform,
Embracing quite the opposite
May often be the norm.

Unwanted

One wanted my company but they vetoed,
I had happened to overhear.
My anger never torpedoed,
but nulled to make way for sorrow.
I realized it was not them that were hollow–
But it was I that caused distress,
I could not sojourn there nor here,
and everyone hesitated, failing to confess.

Ignored Words

Myriad of stories to share,
But no ears have time to spare,
Load of tonnes of words,
Vetoed heart has to forlonly bear!

Deva's Vetoed

Hot shot in my head writhing the guz let it swim in the round to twirl around the world charm junky paty you can see it Jennifer can't wait can you dusty cobwebs frothing mouth full of hit  session doesn't matter really the body doesn't belong here anymore let it flow diagram illustrating the river Seine flowing through my belly dance of a serpent coiling around the intestinal tract cranial sacral therapy and rehabilitation services don't go. Trees change in the summer when I was thinking of a great gift for you my sweet love sucks the soul deadwood eats one up. Traipsing through your brain giving me a hernia and aneurysm. Bleed line the all-in-one communication. I lie down for the doctor tomorrow morning they are taking me to the down stairs department. I can't wait!

Transformation

C City streets are mild; the wheels necessary
O Overwhelmed by the Virus, Wuhan they say
V Very likely made in a high-tech laboratory
I India was strong-armed into selling its "cure"
D Donald Trump wants India's trial drug

P President Trump made threats against South Asians
E Everyone knows the numbers are huge in India
A Any concern for India's national security interest stemming
C Covid-19 deaths in its homeland, vetoed by Dictator T
E Empires have fallen in war or Roman vice, now by Virus

**NOTE: The drug India makes is CHOLROQUINE and Trump demanded India not stop exporting the unproven drug, while Indians seem to be responding well to it.

When In Rome

A free afternoon
So we heeded advice.
We strolled by the river;
The streets did entice.

We wandered down alleys
In neighborhoods where
Unexpectedly, ruins
Cropped up here and there.

To keep us from flagging,
I turned to gelato.
My spouse had espresso -
He liked it a lotto.

But when we were ready
To hit the hotel,
We vetoed a taxi,
For back where we dwell...

We travel by subway,
By foot or by bus.
It's quick and it's cheap,
Which of course is a plus.

Yet we're tourists and don't
Know the routes, like at home 
But we figured - we'll ask.
After all, when in Rome...

So we purchased two tickets 
And made our way back
By bus and by subway;
The code we did crack...

With the help of some locals,
For at every station
Were "Grazies"* and smiles,
Which don't need a translation.

*thank you in Italian

I Never Vetoed By Yulia Drunina

No matter what,
there is no one who's happier, 
perhaps, tomorrow
I will hang myself 
I never vetoed  
being spry or napping 
for happiness, 
despair 
or sad laugh. 

I never vetoed 
for anything, I never 
cry of the pain, I live, 
I fight, I do. 
I'm happier than anyone whatever, 
I'm not a candle 
to blow out, believe. 

P. S.  This is my translation of poem by Yulia Drunina

Wanting of a soul





Closer we came in love, for want of souls,
No trials, was sentenced a desired gaol,
Each breath in his detention renewed my life,
Vetoed cynicism, that put an end to all strife,
No wonder I didn't plead for a parole !

Australian Stallion

Incandescent sunlight glistens


From across Australian seas


To your shrieking heart I listen


Whilst with vigilance I appease



Oh, how dearest a friend you are


A value wistfully unknown


How I adore you from afar


Despite such anguish you condone



Delicate your heart beat echoes


Illuminating blackened bones


A grain of happiness vetoed


Carnage yet again has been sewn



Safe and serene your heart shall rest


Upon these palms of glowing amour


Within these eyes your secrets nest


By that alone you are enamored

Do We Still Have a Voice?

Do the small people in this country still matter?
Can you hear us up there with all that raucous and clatter?
In the elections they say go to the polls, each vote counts, 
After they are sworn in they say thanks, then its us they renounce. 

I have no power and sorry I'm not rich, 
when you need us, you flip us on like a switch. 
I promise, for you I will work the hardest if I should win. 
Pointless, everything needed is vetoed by the Republican. 

Sorry if it is your party I am bashing, 
but ITS OUR HOPES AND DREAMS they are smashing. 
Don't mistake me, I love this country and how we're high on this cloud, 
I still say I am an American, but I used to say it much more proud.

When this country was new, the powerful listened to people like me and you, 
Now we have a new way, the powerful only listen to a select few. 
I suppose my blood, sweat, and tears are not preferred. 
But you can count on me, I will be heard.

What I choose is my choice, 
What I choose is my voice.
