He who pays the piper calls the TuneThe earth requires it there.
The poets do not like the lyrics.
As the tsunami approaches the lands
The poem integrates without a solution.
As the summit talks upheld information
Global warming, tariff continues debating:
China not backing down, and we, the poets
Surprisingly asking what’s next?
A poem like this doesn’t comprehend
That earth requires it there,
Make it make sense, this Tariff war...

PATTY GRIFFINAs you paint your songs with colours divine
And words you so assiduously mined
You leave me standing breathlessly behind
Your visceral emotion hypnotically opined.
Mesmerising destructive bewitching my soul
Wreckingly angelic your vocal takes it toll
And leaves me in wonder at feelings you extolled
And tears me into pieces the form that once was whole
Thank...

A letter never sentThey call you my ex—
like you were just another chapter,
just another name to forget.
But how do I forget
the girl who made forever feel real?
You weren’t my past.
You were my present,
my always.
The one I whispered dreams to at 2 AM,
the one I laughed with
until my ribs ached and my guard fell.
They say time heals.
But time can’t...

The hooded figure waits
A hooded black robe to the ground
Standing looking without a sound
Whose turn is it in their final fall
Waiting potently for their last call
Do you see the signs in the sky written
Or a scripture that was at home driven
I walk towards the setting sun
And can’t fail to see a world undone
Do I slip wanting...

King Solomon and I will Fly a kite todayKing Solomon and I will fly a kite
On this historical Good Friday,
we seek justice for the young lady
Her father made her act as if she were his niece.
To deceive his new wife, so that she could live with them
His wife found out about the plot and hell would break loose.
On social media,...

God, No God, Maybe GodWhy do I hunger for justice,
for love, I can’t keep this emptiness
inside, this void annoys
pulling me under
I cry in pain, I gain nothing
and I wonder,
Why do I find comfort in turning away
from the beliefs instilled upon me
It’s so much easier to ignore
the teachings before me
To live as if it doesn’t matter
who I hurt,...

Kiss and RunPlease kiss and run, my only son
Her body is on fire.
Water rises,
Whisky on the table,
A unique type of gold in a glass,
That type of woman isn’t in your social class
Moments like these are meant to last
No money to spend, but time to kill.
My only son, a fall from grace,
Or a plunge from the...

The Jewel Of Jesus
A polytheist would argue
just one God
That there are endless guards
and many rods
given these wards
With many temperaments and aims
devotion for a supreme being
Compassionate gods spread
charity, clarity’s
light and goodwill
Whereas others spread hate,
blood still spills
Relates—mayhem and darkness
The God of the Old Testament
unforsaken is the nakedness
not ever to turn the other cheek
not even for the meek
He portrays...

Squirmy the WormA worm gets the idea of oscillation
and just moves—
aimless, dirt-laced, unbothered.
Regenerates its body.
Takes orders from nobody.
So I humbly approached a worm:
“Hey worm, you seem to know a lot about this specific area of town…”
She replied,
“I’m Squirmy the Wormy.
And everything you’ve lost—
was hidden inside.”
The rain poured.
She turned.
Kept oscillating.
I shouted,
“Wait! Where are you going?”
She stopped.
Did a 180°...

I Don't UnderstandI don't understand it
And I never understood it
How vehement disdain can beat in the chest
And how vitriol can dance in the mind with unrest
The cold, blank stares that quickly turn to a fake smile when I turn and our eyes meet
Too late, that crooked smile can't disguise the dark, desolate eyes that bitterly speak
Yes. They...

RebornRecognize years of selfishness
Confessioning all sins
Surrending all to him
Praying for his forgiveness
Praying for his grace
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Narrow minded
Turning away from his guidance
Focusing on my own wants , desires
Too Blind to see
Listened but too deaf to truly hear his message
As I walked a different chosen path
Mentally checked out
Lost faith, ambition
Hurt all angels he...
