John Sensele Poems

Truths cry with honesty
Lies fry with dishonesty
But in the end truth triumphs
Although by trickery gallumphs
...

Trump calls every stark fact a hoax
He gathers his facts and figures from fox
Teeming vacancies with friends and relatives
On his failures he blames soliloquy sedatives
...

No dull moment in my college
No loss in purifying knowledge
Smiling, filing, styling
As long as I don't worship bling.
...

Seven shots in the back
Eleven noughts in the muck
As three innocent children in horror
Watch dad succumbing to police terror.
...

Don't pinch my sleep
From eyes that won't weep
On the day you walk out
On me and whip my doubt.
...

Know your preference and prevalence price
Don't conflate your self worth twice or thrice and egregious ice
Lest the din of desperate detractors sin and win
Regardless of the pins and skins of spurious spin
...

Bells of freedom toll
In fiefdoms when weariness grows tall
When masses express their disapproval
In substance and significance of a conundrum carnival
...

Covid nineteen hooks
Sprang on the scene to balance books
That for too long fed inequality
Inflicting wheals of the banality
...

Stick out your neck for rights of the child
You cast by the wayside in the wild
When you contract debt beyond the capacity
You've forgone by virtue of misadventures you won't pity
...

Addiction to powers of darkness
To lift failing fortunes from the rashness
Into which myopia ensnares
The success we covet and its wares
...
