John Sensele Poems

Gender bias and paternalistic culture pigeon-hole women negatively,
Emasculates society,
Numbs reason into submission,
Drives misogyny forward,
...

The opportunity to love is common to all
Adults, the able-bodied, the infirm and children
Who love from the bottom of their hearts in a romantic mall.
...

The crown of life smiles at folks who don't frown
Regardless of how dire spires of circumstances may get
For frowns rob folks of vitality until their noun
Resembles an assembly of forsaken folks who forget
...

Deep within somersaulting stomachs
Gastric juices in full flight
Rumble and stumble on attacks
Pangs of hunger thrust forth as light
...

My right, my plight, my fight, my sight how I use and choose to burn bundles of
my life's candle
Matters little what fleas and fees tongue waggers tag and drag, what doubt
dream dousers doodle
...

Choices we make
Words we use
Voices we fake
Our lives choose, bruise.
...

Don't play with fire
If you live in glassy grooves
Where Innuits tire with the ire
Whose moves you can't mine from hallucination hooves.
...

Daughters' education bless nations
Feeding babies better
Defeating cash complications
And implementing family best practices to the letter.
...

Never feel hope is gone
Cos tomorrow never dies
It brings along new hope at dawn
When joy again and again flies
...

Love is an ingredient that takes over a human mind
Spins him upside down, scatters reason and defies the blind
On a heart's window, tangling with alchemy, autonomy and harmony
Striving to impose her will on chapters and verses of Deuteronomy
...
