Best Discord Poems

Squabbling with words; spats in opposition
can bring about discord and suspicion
Christians should be able to live in harmony 
or their accord and union will atrophy

What kind of world must humans think to mold
in bringing warmth and not a chilling cold
fashioning traits with kind words of...

When conflicts raise its ugly head real soon, 
our nations won’t inevitably swoon;
a time that real détente and peace attune.	
Some people still record the slights most ever stored.
Thus escalate discord, their armies can’t be bored.	
But bearing painful past in mind, endowed
ensuing loss with angst, so...

the delight is in the disregard
I'm here in this space but
  it's another world, a world away
    where creativity flows from my fingers
   and I sit with straight spine
utterly absorbed
        not falling...

A flautist and harpist were matched
And plans for the wedding were hatched,
But, getting cold feet,
He beat a retreat,
Preferring her ‘no strings attached’.

Cacophonous Discord
                  by Odin Roark

So little of language
That’s not become clamor
Even less of actions
That have not become bluster

Still

Some of us know
Earned expectation 
Knows well time’s perfection
That the causal...

The ringing was so piercing and incessant
from way outside the house I heard its blare.
I ran into my room; my clock flourescent,
that object of offense, sat clanging there.

But when its button “off” I firmly pressed,
I hadn’t done a thing to stop the sound.
I then perceived...

The storms of discord in our hearts

Are the reason


That


Humanity’s fierce river of afflictions 
 
Overflows!

When darkness falls, when night prevails  
And moonlight alone, walks with me
Will Faith go astray, or will God lead the way
In the Den of the Holy See
Will these strangest of times that we live in
Lead to unwritten laws that do harm
Will greed and the...

   & hysteria
          world full

Tunisia does not need
what is being done to it. 
Oh people, isn't it high time 
to stop this and wake up? 
See then, why sit and talk 
when we should work and walk?

Martyrs did not want 
to die and part for nothing.
They did not come...

How doth thou appear so alluring,
When thy content is but aworrying?
Though thy beauty and elegance I apprehend,
Thy charm and power I can’t comprehend.
Tall, short, fat, and slim doth thou appear.
Thou appearest dark, fair and other colours I hear.
But do I conclude that thou art the...

Those who the seed of discord plant among men, peace in their soul will never find!

What is anger,
That doe eyed beast 
So beautiful the ruin of man,
Where in her beautiful eyes i stared
I noted a touch of discord,
I acted out of despair to sow strife,
When out of her eyes i tumbled
To a scene that spoke of trouble,
I regret looking her...

REVELATION
It was ages since we ‘d met. I dread her visits.
The melodrama and discord leave me unmoored.

My sister’s hugs morphed into stones, dropped one by one. 
Words hitting dark water. Circles of disbelief spun around me. 
Not one scintilla of truth. 

I glimpsed her self-satisfied...

Disunity


       The incessant flux of biased perception...imperils humanity's intended
