Poetry No 9 No 9 No 9 No 9

Mrs. Self-Righteous

You'll never know the battles I've fought
You judge others based on when they were caught
Aren't you ever aware
That your eyes aren't everywhere
You aren't the standard by which we measure
You have no right to bring on the pressure
Do you see the rafter in your eye
Others like you would at least have the guilt to cry

Social Play

Shut up and play your part
We don't want to unlock your heart
It doesn't matter if friendly bonds set us free
Casual indifference makes friends in society

To Brittany Gray
You are my shining hope my star
That I can only love from afar
A distant love unable to attain
Still I look for your favor to gain
I look to you to make my lonely nights bright
To no other star could I ever take delight
I look straight to you piercing through the hazy sky
Past the uncertainty that lay before my eye
Knowing I'd never have a chance
I must love you from a distance
But even as the clouds fog my view
Your heavenly beauty keeps shining through

Another Poem Trilogy

The World
Liberals won't liberate the unborn
Our heads are filled but we never do learn
Hate is a consuming fire and the innocent burn
People judging others by the clothes they've once worn
A nation of men in pain hoping the tables will turn
Conservatives aren't conserving the land
Money has millions at their command
Sinners of lust unitedly stand
Words of truth universally banned
A nation of men are hoping the end is at hand
Humans looking for something liberating
Are finding bodies and minds slowly deteriorating
Is their hope like their morals continually fading
Some looking for easy escapes others profit making
A nation waiting to see what will remain standing

Poverty's Christmas
There is no Merry Christmas for the homeless
No warm meals at their tables to bless
Is it right to celebrate a man who fed the poor
By buying status quo gifts of token love at a corporate store
People want Jesus to be an ornament next to Santa Claus
Not remembering Jesus lived and died for a cause
Hope, love and peace are some things to forever remember
Not just on cold sad nights of December
Where is Life's Guiding Light
When millions have no place to rest at night


Things Of Nature

Shady trees
Nightly breeze
Citrus sunset
A playful pet
Scented flowers
Drizzling showers
Warmful rays of light
Shiny stars of night
