John Sensele Poems

Democracy dies
When a cocktail of openness and tolerance cries
In the vice of myopia
Rusting in throes of death in Utopia
...

If love leapt from your lips
Flattering the curves of your hips
I'd declare such love null and void
To give my heart a chance to avoid
...

Hold my hand when I want to learn
For you and I illiteracy to burn
If you do your best as my trusted teacher
Who in my classroom shouldn't become a preacher
...

Plagiarized assignments, copied answers
Asinine attitudes, corny comments, chronic cancers
Broken English
Paint a picture so churlish
...

In the wake of back stabs
Withdraw the conniving crabs
I meet in your behaviour
If Jesus be the saviour
...

Loving isn't a crime
Love doesn't flow or glow in a haste
Love matures with time
Don't soak or sink love into sensational slime
...

Education matters a great deal
If in life you should make a grade
After you acquire a special skill
Enabling you to climb a hectic hill
...

Corona virus, tenderize your tone
Your stranglehold on brethren breath lessen
If you don't conflate humankind with your clammy clone
Corona virus, leave limpid lives alone
...

To the education endeavour I take a bow
Although classroom routines sometimes breed fear
If my brain elects to act and react slow
And concepts into my brain fast don't flow
...

Mend and blend my heart
My love for you grow into an art
While your love tastes sweeter
In a love lozenge to me you send on Twitter.
