"offending" poems
I just want to write a poem no one ever thought of writing It must have the same effects as walking on the moon It must trend faster than a meteor as it hurdles through cyber space I refused to love any man, who dislikes my poetry, My man must support my passion .. not only the warmth of my body but the passion within this poetess, my secretive mind he must be able to balance: Without wondering why a woman like me is so naturally secretive I am always embracing the dark side of my creativity Dropping little hints here and there throughout the years, Sidney   J. Harris once said something that left pondering thoughts He said “When he hears somebody sighs, 'Life is hard,' he’s always tempted to ask them, 'Compared to what?' I would simply say dog-gone it: Compared to struggling poets whose tries to make a living as a writer While an upcoming rapper like Chief Keef signed a several-million dollar deal with offending lyrics in today music industries: I just want to write a poem no one ever thought of writing, With lots of intense emotion bursting through each line: Because a poem can’t exist without a poet's multiple voices and most of all his divine missions

Tick a hundred places, You wanna be.. Mark one too many people, To prove wrong.. Note down each rule, You wanna break free.. Have so many dreams, You wanna see, come alive.. ..that even depression can't inspire suicide.. ..and instead, find pleasure in offending life.

A Happy Sadist
i don't know what's worse: forcing myself to fall asleep without your touch or waking up in an empty bed again it's a whole new kind of loneliness trying to get a hold of myself after years of trying to hold you seven hundred and eighty-nine days falling and fighting over you just ends with **** we're dividing up i cannot remember what life was like before my eyes met with yours the deepest shade of blue you will always linger in new habits we've created together in every hidden spot in the city that i've shown you all my hopes, dreams, and fears they now belong to you for evermore i woke up alone again today perhaps you did, too just two broken souls in lonely beds we were never meant to be i toss and turn flipped the pillow where you used to lay your head now soaked with my acid tears i will curse you for the longest time always pondering the 'what-ifs' if one thing had been different would everything be different today? would you have never left? would we have never ended so catastrophically the most bittersweet tragedy? i used to feel you, no matter how far you were yet in the final days, you got me questioning who was that stranger laying next to me? we were fire on fire now i'm ash and ember so who am i offending now? you were my most beautiful film sadly, i couldn't change the ending pacing back and forth i find myself talking into the night "this pain would be never more"

A creature not of here or there With parts that do not fit Neither fish nor fowl, horse or bear A bashed together kit Too many heads, some with horns Body furred and scaled Eagles wings and spines like thorns And as a peacock tailed Some aspects might bring a smile While others will repel One small detail may beguile Yet another breaks the spell Each pack or flock it tries to join Though they seemed akin And in some facet quite adroit Another portion can’t fit in Every time it tries as best it may To hide an offending section Knowing that if seen in light of day The result will be rejection So the beast remains an alien Cloaks what's best concealed Strives to imitate the chameleon That no misshape be revealed All creatures hunger for a home Chimera hungers too But it wanders doomed to roam A haven to pursue

Chimera
My defensive carer named Alfreido Dimpitt Reemo You see my nice regular carer, Andrew Williams was sick and didn't want go to work Which put spanner in the works in the office, and they were wondering who will replace him So they decided to ask Alfreido Dimpitt Reemo a call, and were happy when he said yes And they forgot to tell his first client, who can be very confusing in conversation But they forgot to tell that client and Alfreido turned up at his door And this was the day that Andrew was going to take him for a walk through the domain Where the Christmas carols, and Alfreido was happy to take him And they had a cool time, till the client told him about his old carer who was names Reimo And Aldreido snapped at him, and his client thought that he doesn't understand happiness And this made him happier, and he started laughing and trying to joke around with Alfreido And Alfreido did joke with him, and really they started to hit off And then, so his client mentioned his old carer Reimo and how much of a **** he was And Alfreido got defensive, in fact he got so angry he nearly hit his client And this made his client too shy to say anything else On the risk that Alfriedo was going to do it again And he even was afraid to speak his mind, in the risk he'll snap at him And his client were unhappy about how this carer treated him Especially when they were leaving the domain and there were some teenagers teasing him And this made his client think that Alfreido was teasing him with the kids I know he had issues for what he said, but, he though this was very wrongs the way His carer was behaving, and every time he mentioned Reimo, in hoping that he would Joke around with you, he will snap, as if you were trying to rob you or something So at the end when Alfriedo left, he didn 't know what to do So he rang up the carers organization and told them why Alfreido came instead of Andrew And they told him they had no choice, it was either Alfreido or no one And this client said, ok in the future, I will prefer no one, especially if you send him again Because he is too defensive, when I mention the name of my old carer And despite telling him why he snapped, he still felt very unsafe And said, I want you to send no one, or send no one Because I felt I am offending this carer with anything I say And I don't know what I really said, and the organisation said, fine And Alfreido never saw him again, And the next time Andrew came, and he was very relieved And told him that the bad carer has gone, and will never return And Andrew said, yes, mate, I will make sure they don't ever send him again Sent from my iPhone

Another day, another hour spent looking at cadavers, Surprisingly fun, and suspiciously fresh bodies- "Hey Mrs. Johnson, what do you think John did with his life?" She gave me a look that didn't seem too pleased at my inquisition. Or the fact that I named our body John. Morbidly, I thought she looked at me like a zombie would look at our friend John like a cold cut subway sandwich, Although I figured if I were a zombie, I'd prefer my meat fresh, and not embalmed with formaldehydes and ethanol. "That thought seems inappropriate and not respectful of the medical sacrifice 'john' made " she said dripping with in my opinion too much sarcasm for me to NOT respond too. "Well, John is dead, I don't think he's getting offended anytime soon," I retorted. Her smile contorted like the prudish smile John offered me in support. "I'm not worried about offending the corpse as much as I am the ghost, and this Lab will NOT be haunted under my watch" (Her pride in her wit inflated much like Johns body inflated with decomposition and bowel gases.) I apologized internally for the comment and action I was about to make- "This medical dictatorship has to collapse sooner or later- and I still want an answer too my question" And with that, I took the nearest scalpel to his bloated stomach, and watched in disgust and glee as everyone else ran for cover amongst the ****** of stomach contents and Johns final retribution in death. I got an A+ in that class.

Medical dictatorship
I can't sleep, I can't rest my eyes. Need to work harder this term, Or I'll never get a job. Need to get a job so I Can work to get one later. What will your face look like when You see me? Will mine mirror Yours? Do you still want to be With me? Or are you sick of My insecurities? I Can't go back to the empty Chatter and the meaningless "I love you"s, sitting around Waiting for absolutely Nothing to happen. Stabbed by passive aggressive Thoughts unleashed like a weapon. But this might not matter 'cause The plane could crash or explode And I won't have to worry About a thing...except for Medical bills, catching up On schoolwork, notifying Those who matter, offending Those who don't. Maybe if I'm Lucky I'll slip into a Coma and rest for a while... But that's no good because I'll Just worry everyone else. But really, I am just fine. Just what are you doing? Don't Look at me closely. I told You that I'm fine, I'm okay. Please have a nice day and don't Worry about me. I'm fine.

Night Before Anxiety
The film starts with narration from Mother Nature herself, discussing an experiment with Father Time that went horribly wrong; On the fictional island of Wongo she has created a tribe where the men are brutish & ugly & the women exceedingly beautiful. She then creates another tribe on a nearby island called Goona where the women are repulsive & the men are strong and handsome; For years the two tribes lived unaware of each other's existence, until ape men from across the ocean attack the village of Goona. The tribe sends the son of their king to seek help against the invaders. The son finds the island of Wongo the day before the village men are to pick their brides & the women, seeing the handsome prince, begin questioning their life among the ugly brutes that dwell in their village. The men growing jealous of their visitor, plan to **** him. The women of Wongo, finding out about the plot, risk their lives to protect the handsome prince, in doing so offending the crocodile god of the Wongo people [portrayed by stock footage of a crocodile and rubber model]. The women are rounded up by the village men & sent into the wilderness until the reptile god has drawn blood for the slight; The women banding together, watch each other's backs until the ape men arrive at their village & the women dispatch the invaders to their god, the women then leave in search of the men that had abandoned the island of Wongo. In Goona, the men begin their rite of manhood, in which they go into the jungle without weapons for a month. The women of Wongo coming upon the weaponless men, decide to take advantage of their helplessness & one by one, claim them in marriage; The film concludes with all the beautiful men and women married & the ugly men with the ugly women.

(Judges, vi.25) Jesus! whose blood so freely stream'd To satisfy the law's demand; By Thee from guilt and wrath redeem'd, Before the Father's face I stand. To reconcile offending man, Make Justice drop her angry rod; What creature could have form'd the plan, Or who fulfil it but a God? No drop remains of all the curse, For wretches who deserved the whole; No arrows dipt in wrath to pierce The guilty, but returning soul. Peace by such means so dearly bought, What rebel could have hoped to see? Peace by his injured Sovereign wrought, His Sovereign fasten'd to a tree. Now, Lord, Thy feeble worm prepare! For strife with earth and hell begins; Conform and gird me for the war; They hate the soul that hates his sins. Let them in horrid league agree! They may assault, they may distress; But cannot quench Thy love to me, Nor rob me of the Lord my peace.

Jehovah-Shalom. The Lord Send Peace
I'm tired of messing up, I want things the way they originally were. I wish things would start looking up, nowadays anything can occur. I see I've changed my personality changed into something I'm not, Only to find that the new me, has more problems than I'd formerly thought. I want to change things back, I want the life I had before. There is so much that I lack, Don't know how much more I can endure. The shy introvert has been hiding, In a corner she is bound; While the friendly talker has been thriving, offending loved ones around. It's time to put the end, pay attention to what is said. Time to make amends, and put the shy girl ahead.

~For Mr. Lawrence Hall~ <> you absolutely sure? Now for sure I'm no expert, though did read the New Testament Cover to cover, all in one sitting, for a Jesuit priest buddy, yes my taste in friends is Eclectic, like my poems, slightly at the fat tail of an Abnormal curve, i.e. turn my curse into a blessing, Anyway, it strikes me that Jesus, spent his time, full-time, Solving for X, and showed quIte an imaginative thought/belief process, And great creativity, To obtain his answers... Hoping I'm offending no one...unintentional for sure, he is a Heroic figure, kind and forgiving, what's not to like? But he solved problems, multi variate, non linear, imaginatively, Never threw  in the towel on the truly complex, though., he never perceived himself as a mathematician, indeed his life was eXactly That, solving humanity for the X, the humanity in us, So yeah,  he didn't just say solve for X, He just went about his day, solving solving solving... salving, salving...

At this time of my life I find myself wearing hats… I’m not happy with my head you see, In short, being able to see it it just doesn’t thrill me. Not through those depressing, disappearing strands. So it’s that time - It’s hat time! Hats are warm, comforting things; take it off and, for a while at least, it feels still there - a phantom hat. Not quite as spooky or worrying as a phantom arm or leg - after that severed limb thing, but right there! It really is that time - It’s hat time! My Grandma Lamplough, that’s on my mother’s side, was an avid knitter of things to order, She was even a freelancer for Jaeger… matinée jackets, mittens, cardies, pullovers But in later days mostly just tea cosies. If there was no immediate customer in mind… “Everybody needs a cosy and one size fits all” she would say… and anyway, commissions were rare for cosies back in the day She’d wear it boldly herself with handle and spout slots front & back, proud She’d start the next one and announce to every visitor right out loud… ”Hey…Do you want a cosy for your *** Mr Watling, the milkman, he had quite a lot! But then he showed up every day! A quart is it Mrs L?… and yes, I WILL have a cosy today! Me? I’ve never fancied a toupee, wig or go in for a Bobby Charlton tribute gig …. I’ll be happy just to settle for a beret, news boy or Fedora… to hide the offending pate and avoid the comb over till a later date. Meanwhile I’ll maybe settle for Grandma’s cosy special?

Welcome to America, in 2016. Where "all lives matter" Except Syrian refugees Where you can't even breathe Without offending somebody. Where parents are taken from their children, Because of the color of their skin. Where we normalize police brutality. Where you can be a racist, And still run for president. Where injustice is served, with a side of GMOs. Where the citizens of Flint have been without clean water for how long? Who knows. Our minds are diluted by capitalism and celebrities. Where people will look at you crazy for saying, "Save the bees" Meanwhile they're out there, planning WWIII. When you're told "your vote counts!" But we're stuck with Trump & Hillary. Where women on the red carpet are glamorous and sexualized, But if you're ***** they'll ask, "Well what were you wearing that night?" A guy selling marijuana will serve his whole life. Whereas Brock Turner was released in what felt like overnight. Where white privilege has never been more real. And our generation is learning that "You're weak if you feel." People being told we have nothing to fear, Meanwhile the media is controlling what we hear. People fighting for clean water, as if that wasn't our God-given right. Our women are afraid to walk home alone at night. You can work 40 hours a week, and still not make enough to live. But if you ask for government assistance, you're a "lazy son of a ***** When in reality, it's just enough to feed your kids. The Elite have created this illusion of seperation. They have torn us apart as a world, and as a nation. The color of our skin doesn't make us any different. I promise you can love someone who practices a clashing religion. Underneath it all, we're all the same. All this person on person violence just makes us pawns in their game. We should be coming together as humans, who have lost their humanity. Maybe this all makes my "liberal." But in all honesty, the current state of the world has me questioning my sanity. Love thy neighbor, respect their spirit. Or we won't be around much longer to experience it. Welcome to America in 2017. We forgot how to love one another so we were wiped out, mercilessly. If only we had come together before we tore ourselves apart. If we remember who we are, We can be our own light in the dark.

When pins and pressure plates crawl into my spent shoulders I clutch madly to crush the offending sinews. When I’ve grazed the side of my tongue with an accidental death-threat I revisit the spot and repeatedly incise, until I’m ******* crimson and tears. When the she-squito shoots me up via serrated needle turning me feastlike My fingernails compulsively scavenge out the adenosine deaminase. I sniff the arid bottles of perfumes I love that are no longer manufactured. I re-trace my lost friendships through the riverside paths we made. I chop onions and slurp hot sauce until I’m dry. Maybe that’s why I’m stuck on you.

You said it didn't have to be painful, and I appreciate the sentiment, but you were wrong, and that's so satisfying.
You didn't even give her a rose today, how unromantic you are, dude." Exactly ! I'm unromantic. But why the hell are you so **** concerned with me being romantic. Go to her and utter my name in front of her, and just watch her reaction that follows. See if she can hide that blush or not, control that smile or not. A flower to prove my love is a way too offending to us both. Our type of romance is far away than what you imagine about. We need not say "I love you" hundred times a day, we need not write cheesy lines for each other. We don't get jealous of the other friends that we both have. We don't spy each other doubting the trust. You just go and tell her of any another girl I'm in relationship with. She won't be sad or angry, she won't shout or lose her temper. Neither would she call me and start abusing me the way you'd be expecting. Dude ! She won't give a **** to whatsoever you've spoken. Our way of confirming the things are so different that you will die out of jealousy of perfectness. When we share our things, every decisions, situations, not giving a thought of being judged, is the time we celebrate our perfectness together. The time we meet and have an eye contact exchanging effortless smiles, is the time we celebrate our Valentine's day, regardless of the date and day. Don't you please tell her of how unromantic I am, she will die out of laughing..

Unromantic??
You softly light upon me unannounced Offending all my tranquility Sly and cunning in your swift approach As you creep right up on me I watch your quest with breathless interest Yet, silently in increasing fear Submissive to your persistent touch As I wonder why you’re here Do you see me as a frustrating hindrance Or am I part of your life’s crusade Are you taking delight in my fearful plight Or merely wishing I’d go away Have I become your latest amusement To incapacitate with dreadful fear Or would you prefer I assert my valiant pride And vanquish you from here I am not quite sure of your intentions Perhaps you are not sure of mine But I’ve grown weary of this wondering And all this rising fear is asinine The time has come for one of us to finally make a move Regardless of the reasons you are here As I know the pain you can inflict is powerful and strong You can watch me run along in all my fear

The Saga of the Bee
When I speak, my eyebrows tell their own story, filling in the details. Even when I try my hand at tact, striving for porcelain politeness, my eyebrows loiter in dark corners, gossiping. Living with two feral beasts on one’s face requires discipline just short of a chainsaw. In private I must chisel & furrow, for these miniature sculptures, these Michelangelo topiaries. This isn’t vanity. This is protecting a pious public from a lecherous, libidinous wolf. For me, leaving the house and participating in pleasantries, daily interactions, is enough of a Leviathan leech loading my back without seditionist caterpillars millimeters from munching my eyes out. It’s for me that I tweeze, for one only PLUCKS chickens, that row of hair which runs the length of my brow. For me, for my comfort in social negotiations. I also do it for you, if only to keep you from flinching in fear as my eyebrows defy my utmost efforts at not offending you.

I do it for us both
Our world is corrupted The people disrupted Happiness interrupted Walking down the street is a challenge There’s pointing fingers, There’s danger around every corner Taught to assume everyone’s dangerous Taught not to be alone at night Taught to constantly be defensive for it seems everyone has a gun these days. Nothing can be said Nothing can be worn Without offending someone. America the beautiful America the afraid. America, from sea to shining sea America, pollution to destruction. America, thy liberty in law America, discrimination on the down low. So many ads destroying self confidence So many stereotypes for our kids to grow into So quick to blame others for our problems So quick to shame ourselves. America, the beautiful. Our world is corrupted. The people, disrupted. Happiness interrupted.

America, The Beautiful
A man I looked up to Once told me to be careful, That maybe I could be too much. Too bold Too strong That men may not feel comfortable. But you see Women in my world have never been gentle, Always burnt with too much fervour To care that you might melt. You think it is an insult, That you can coerce me into being more submissive By the threat of offending men. Like somehow I am nothing With the absence of a man's desire. Like everything about me Should be channelled into impressing a man I am yet to meet. But you don't know that inside I am smiling. Inside a fire in me burns brighter at hearing That sometimes my strength makes them uncomfortable. I am not here so men who tell me I'm prettier when I have less voice, So men who think it's okay to intimidate me Whenever they see fit, In whatever form they wish, Can feel less unsettled by this supposed threat to their masculinity. I hope my mind, My bones and my blood, Make your safety net Of a society that breeds and feeds male egotism A little less secure. I am not here for your comfort. I am not here to feed the monster of misogyny inside of you. Do not tell me to douse my fire And extinguish these flames Just because you, Men like you, Cannot handle the heat.

I will not dwindle
in my obliviousness inadvertent and unintentional some may say as usual i disturbed a wasp nest the heightened bombilation an anger-pitched droning unheard somehow therefore unheeded until that impolite ***** a warning sting through t-shirt to torso followed by a few more in quick succession set my legs moving apologetically away with hands raised chastened and contrite both in supplication and in order to remove the offending article of clothing the oversensitive wasp having become trapped within defensively stinging as nature directs to be honest its overzealous instincts began to feel more like spite than mere survival

apology not accepted
I don't like talking. Sharing is uncomfortable Understanding is difficult. I like to be a l o n e It's not meant in offense to anyone Though I often end up offending when They make me talk Or I talk to myself. I don't really think Anything sentient is all that great Including myself... (Not that I think immobile things are fantastic. They are nothing.) Socializing is pressure When forced, I sometimes don't even feel like I'm really there Being in the same room as others Cause friction in my brain. Synapses explode The tiny unicorns that handle maintenance Get distracted Nothing good happens. I like to be alone But I hate small spaces. Therefore, my life is a compromise.

compromise
Visions of oppositions, positions and prison. The forward missions, the capitalism, criticism and optimism. The Amor, the adored, the allure and the awards! The doors, the poor, the gore and the sore. The any and many! The many hoards of pennies, before the lords of plenty. The awkward, the backward, the hospital wards and the mental. Furthermore, more roar and war with a governmental evil, medieval in blue! Therefore as I do accrue the clues, the dues, the hues and views. Something’s of me? My belated peeling, feelings related to that of a shrine of the divine. Etched and sketched by a pencil and stencil. Designed by the heavens divine. A displaced or misplaced, abused, bruised and reused utensil. Something’s of me? I am often depressed, half-dressed and suppressed. Distraught and stressed by thoughts, thoughts that are fought, sought and taught. As I endeavor, forever dedicated. However, medicated or sedated! A neglected, suspected sinner. A grinner and winner in entice haste, with precise pace! As I taste the waste of this offending never-ending race. Regardless heartless, relentless congress. Yes, in confessing to you; beware of the care, the dare, the flare, the rare of scare! Attempt to see what I have seen in contempt! In-between or as a teen. The obscene or serene! The many scenes at the seams. Driven by schemes and themes it seems! Full of the brave that craves! The deprave and the rave. Those things which sing from the grave... Something’s of me? These are no lies, as a book carefully look into my sorrowful eyes. See why I despise, why I am wise. Look beyond the ancient, powerful skies. They’re in wonderful constant, radiant disguise. Something’s of me? My sensitive life of delight in fight, fright and plight. My life of sight, my life of trite. My negative pride! My life’s awesome, positive stride! Inside as I cry, as I hide… I depressingly, devotedly, ignorantly, triumphantly, unfortunately, hopefully and literally say. I am definite that one day I will embark into the dark. Emulate as a creative, relative spark! Onto Noah’s great and infinite ark. Sailing into the prevailing, unveiling rain... with much too gain, maintain, regain and retain. Believing, weaving and leaving the grieving, the blame, the flame, the fame, the insane and the pain.
