John Sensele Poems

Thuggery thumps pumps of progress
Skullduggery makes rivalry regress
Flying backwards
Purloining rewards
...

Youths seethe
Youths can't breathe
When chokeholds on nourishment necks jump
Fairness and welfare witness slump
...

The wrath of Zeus
Evaporates the juice
Where souls succumb exponentially
Dying in vain essentially
...

Women with large hearts
Offering doses of love to upstarts
Seldom grasp the magnanimity
They aplenty offer in amity.
...

Sombre songs steer my emotions
When my heart hinges on dodgy devotions.
Sombre songs delight my soul
If for other souls I score a genuine goal.
...

Fantasies deceive
Ensure reality we perceive
Judgment day to you and I comes
It matters not if we dwell in suburbs or slums.
...

Paint me a panorama of trigonometry
In classrooms glistening with geometry
To the tune of pluses and minuses
In unison, we'll cure cosine sinuses.
...

Here
In the covid 19 era
Conspiracy theorists spread fear
In the cauldron of error.
...

Self pity, a self defeat syndrome
That in no way enriches the home
Progress rises from concerted efforts
Injected into initiatives to strengthen fledgling forts.
...

Dwell not on self pity
Dwell on self worth in the city
Though meagre living you eke out
Penury no reason to germinate doubt.
...
