Anger
Sudden outburst
Suddenly a finger
Our inner-emotions Coerced
Headfirst

True love will manifest itself over time
It’s not measured by dollars, cents, nickels or dimes
Love is not pushed, pulled or coerced
It is there through the good and survives the worst...

My love does not hunger
my love does not thirst
my love does not fail
and it won't be coerced

  my love waits alone
for the half of my whole
composing it's song
in the vaults of my soul....

Listen to poem:

I didn't know 
          that I'm the first
I didn't know
          you were coerced
I didn't know
          your every verse
I didn't know
          they were rehearsed
I didn't know
          the truth at first...

A hand reaches through the water.
One is greedily snatched
Beyond Death's probing grasp.
Life's gentle breath
Is coerced into sleeping lungs.
Strong, powerful hands force life.
Prayers are answered.
Destiny is revealed....

like the objects in the mirror
did you only appear nearer
now broken and seven years cursed
 i feel foolish my heart coerced
and still nothing about us is any clearer

In her aristocratic yet somber hour
Inebriated she phones me
As if I am an oblivious commodity
Though still I feel coerced
To exist within her wake
Even though communication
May be relinquished when sober
An allegiance has been pledged...

I peer through mists of coming years,
The present disappears,
The crimson clouds of war blow past—
Utopia—world peace at last.

No famine, plagues or hunger then,
World law among all men,
Complete coerced security,
The subtlest sort of slavery....

Coerced and Corraled In A Cage

What seems to be apparent  was the stage,
That we had discovered regarding the rage,
And from recorder,
Personality disorder,
Both coerced and corralled in a tight cage.


Jim Horn


This seems to have caused some of Kavanaugh's
desire for revenge....

All is well, freedom is being erroded. Shops and independant buisness are punished the two weeks
Of house arrest became two years' so no falsehoods
There' the population were subjected to coerced
Mnra intervention, mental health and school results
Are suffering, but all is well in the u k.?...

I didn't know 
          that I'm the first
I didn't know
          you were coerced

I didn't know
          they were rehearsed
I didn't know
          the truth at first
I didn't know
          you'd be the worse
I didn't know
           you'd be my curse.

It was in the innocent spring of life, of which, never they shared
While in the summer of youth, each gazed across or simply stared
Now these autumn winds bring whispers of twice cried tears
Of two tales told, each with the worst of harbored fear
Maybe forever their winter's discontent
Yet
Purveyors of souls, take seasons of which, always had meant...

The "Rhymers" guild; archaic faction,
We garner all the more detraction
Less, are we, in our attraction
More, we are, the poetic infraction

When free is verse, a form accursed-
Murders Art, fetch forth a hearse
For they coerced the Poems reverse,
And left our lines inverse- perverse!

*Title is a play off "It's Hard to be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World"...

Loyalty and honesty mean everything to me
It is not always easy to find
Yet I have found it here on Poetry Soup
With a poet so supportive and kind

He has my back completely
Supported me when l was openly wronged
Never to be coerced by empty poetic words
His sincerity and loyalty unwaveringly strong

I just wanted to say a huge Thankyou …..l appreciate you so much!...

“I” is just a concept made by mind. Siddhartha Gautama

Mind has to dwell in a coerced seclusion: 
mind is a prisoner of the conclusion
that mind is mine. I share your letdown,
my mind. Minds cannot shatter the illusion
of the first person singular pronoun.

Never throw a tirade at a parade,
Or castigate a wealthy profligate
Do not endanger the park ranger,
Or roller skate at the Watergate
Careful always to recoup the poop,
One never ever makes a group
Expect the worst if lips are pursed,
Avoid, if possible, being coerced
And always assemble yourself
Before sitting on the top shelf.

Listen to poem:

The Object of Objectivity 
David J Walker
	

Objectively trapped within 
	The lost cause of
Freedom from bias that
comes at the cost

Of uncertain death 
        ambivalent rebirth 
A quality of character rehearsed

A paupers portion
	A supplicant petition 

The magician hides the truth  
	Inside revisions 
Coerced

The magician hides the ruse  
	Inside intentions  
Emersed...

Flowers wilt, there is no breeze
   Leaves droop, they're not pleased
Grass turns a sickly brown
   There's a heat wave in town

Faces are taut
   Greetings, coerced
Skin's pasty white
   Every movement, coerced

Dogs pant on the pavement
   Tongues hanging out
Your arthritis is worse
   And so is your gout

Feel like ending it all?
   ~ Here comes a cold front
         A Taste of Fall!...

in slight--- it came in the night,
right when the stars began to fight.
divided by default, the throat
(deep cut) tongue & cords
tangled, caught. the clouds
withered & wept, distraught;
the debt of consciousness
taut, holding sight hostage.
a mirage pulled, coerced, whisper:
'come hither' ------ what force.
deserted eyes (surprise); found
in a caress with carnage, 
sprawled over the earths edge....

The vagaries are flying today.
Those gossima-winged insubstantial escapees
related by birth to thoughts as yet unformed.
I sense them circling, see their flights
they glitter and dim as fireflies do.
To capture a few I must let go of them,
let them crash land in the mire of mind.
coated in just a little weight
that they might be seen and named,
coerced to speak
as if they belonged to this earth....

Standing My Ground
Written: By Tom Wright
8/7/2006

Life, for me, is about making choices
So I’ll never submit to the unnamed voices.

For if I change due to being coerced,
Into another’s thinking I’ve become immersed.

I’ll stand my ground for the right to choose,
For I’m the individual, who will win or lose;

And those nameless critics that show no face,
Spew withering words that I give no space.

Before buying Twitter in 2022, Musk had said, “Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app."


Blue birdie, we bid you goodbye.
The sight of that “X” makes us sigh.
It’s not cute like you.
Will Musk ever rue
the day he coerced you to fly?

So~~Twitter is neck-deep in debt.
“X” won’t solve that problem, I’ll bet.
We know you’ll be missed.
So sad you’ve been dissed
by one who views X like a pet!...

Bohemian Rhapsody
Their music invaded your organised space
Your soul coerced migrated to another place 
I see a silhouette of a man a prophetic phrase
Soulful harmonic interludes those glory days
Into the limelight with a genre so vibrant
Melodies and lyrics emotive just brilliant
A fusion of opera and rock distinctive clean
Only they dared this eccentric group Queen
Freddy’s vocals echoing guitars instantly smitten
Bohemian Rhapsody greatest rock opera ever written
