PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

summery peradventures

scorching heat out there

bakes you, unhappy skin cells

—a type of music

a menpleaser's paradise

I can promise you

this guaranteed allyship

my all out support

I'm going to be your friend

for anything—right or wrong

In Their Company

Violins aren't

just the ones that make those sounds

How about cellos?

by Jeph Johnson

I take issue with the hypothesis that ethical standards have nothing to do with personal beliefs. For me they do. For me, in fact, they are either one in the same or I am striving to make them one in the same.

My blood line is from the South
You say my name in plain English
I have a pronunciation in Spanish
My blood line is Inca and Spanish
Nicaragua is the name
Karen, is my name
So, Americanize me!

Today, I saw your sun
Today, I have an accent
What are you waiting for?
Civilize me!

My eyes are brown
I have two legs, two arms
Brown hair
Deep creamy white skin
Now, do I have to wear short clothing?
So, you can accept me?
My skin is white
What are you waiting for, American me?
My mouth is shut silent
What are you waiting for?
I, too, have a tea set and; drink from a tea cup
What are you waiting for?
Lynch me

I look at your moon
Mine, is in the third world
What did I do to you?
I have distorted your world.
What are you waiting for?
Kill me.
Work me to death, educate me,
American me
I, too, know, I can walk alone.
This is your sun
Mine, is in the third world
Americanize me.

I don’t hold any values in my character,
Can I show my face to god the life director!

I feel its ok to take a bribe,
My life slowly moves towards the negative dive!

I marry and remarry like it’s a joke,
Soon I am hanging on a suffering fork!

I specialize to cheat and fool,
Bad action effects on you will rule!

You loose your ethics; you spring out a loss,
Your whole life-cycle goes on a toss!

Getting an award and having an unethical nature!
Stands useless in god’s signature!!!
