Unread
Wearing phylacteries
Embroidered philosophies
Celebrating rituals
Their words sacramental
In true poetic priesthood
Kneel in Self adoration
Burn incense of Deception
Empty praises come
Ad infinitum!

Don't Ask About My Past
Don't ask about my past
I don't live there anymore
With God my life to bless
I got a new address.
All hurts are now erased
Of fears there is no trace
Each day I am amazed
How great His loving Grace!

Never To Return
A dried leaf falls and withers
Never to return to a tree
A life ended will never
Breathe again and...be.
Words said in anger
Can never be unsaid
Wounds caused thereafter
Leave friendship ties...dead.

Return On Interest
Those who slyly offer
Service to the people
Demand a payback after
In office they are able.
They never want what's best
Geared only at their winning
A return on interest
From us they will be getting.

Wealth (Nonet Poetry Form)
Though I may not have many assets
My simple dwelling not that grand
My luxuries in life scarce
Work feeds the needs at hand
Sometimes life is harsh
Still I'm thankful
For my health
And kids...
Wealth!

Wander Heart, Wonder Woman
Fickle heart astray
That always goes on wandering
It is a waste of day
For the woman to be wondering.
Too many wander hearts
Break every bit of promise
Worthless love departs
Don't wonder, women please.

Freedom Raped (Nonet)
War grounded on Falsehood and sheer Lies
Devours the Leadership head down
Truth nullifies Reasons laid
Lost lives in mournful cries
As nation disowns
Honor pays price
Freedom raped
War crime
Now.

Knock, Knock, Knocks!
Murder in her eyes
Cold, calculating, cutting.
Innocence? Those lies!
Her life does the revealing.
Yes, she deserves the axe
No doubts, no jury lapses
True justice at last knocks
For wayward little Misses.

Unskilled at first in a work
with great demands,
Moved to Love and Care
The children, the blessings of their life.

Blackberry Blue
A distinct color
Is blackberry blue
Its blackness shaded
In silvery shine
Like Bahrain pearls
In deepest hue
Light changes it
Like sweet dark wine.
