Enemies Poems

The young maricones and the horny muchachas,
The big fat widows delirious from insomnia,
The young wives thirty hours' pregnant,
And the hoarse tomcats that cross my garden at night,
...

I shall die, but
that is all that I shall do for Death.
I hear him leading his horse out of the stall;
I hear the clatter on the barn-floor.
...

The brooding ghosts of Australian night have gone from the bush and town;
My spirit revives in the morning breeze,
though it died when the sun went down;
...

My Soul: I summon to the winding ancient stair;
Set all your mind upon the steep ascent,
Upon the broken, crumbling battlement,
Upon the breathless starlit air,
...

A green and silent spot, amid the hills,
A small and silent dell ! O'er stiller place
No singing sky-lark ever poised himself.
...

I had a dream, which was not all a dream.
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
...

He was the sort of man
who wouldn't hurt a fly.
Many flies are now alive
while he is not.
...

BOOK I
DEEP in the shady sadness of a vale
Far sunken from the healthy breath of morn,
Far from the fiery noon, and eve's one star,
...

Human reason is beautiful and invincible.
No bars, no barbed wire, no pulping of books,
No sentence of banishment can prevail against it.
It establishes the universal ideas in language,
...

AS I sat alone, by blue Ontario's shore,
As I mused of these mighty days, and of peace return'd, and the dead
that return no more,
...

Rintrah roars and shakes his
fires in the burdenM air,
Hungry clouds swag on the deep.
...

Fit the First
THE LANDING

'Just the place for a Snark!' the Bellman cried,
...

Father calls me William, sister calls me Will,
Mother calls me Willie, but the fellers call me Bill!
Mighty glad I ain't a girl - ruther be a boy,
Without them sashes, curls, an' things that's worn by Fauntleroy!
...

O make me a mask and a wall to shut from your spies
Of the sharp, enamelled eyes and the spectacled claws
Rape and rebellion in the nurseries of my face,
Gag of dumbstruck tree to block from bare enemies
...

1
We, whose lungs fill with the sweetness of day.
Who in May admire trees flowering
Are better than those who perished.
...

Even while I dreamed I prayed that what I saw was only fear and no foretelling,
for I saw the last known landscape destroyed for the sake
of the objective, the soil bludgeoned, the rock blasted.
Those who had wanted to go home would never get there now.
...

Here on the slopes of hills, facing the dusk and the cannon of time
Close to the gardens of broken shadows,
We do what prisoners do,
And what the jobless do:
...

AFOOT and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose.
...

When the clock strikes twelve
new year 2009 is born
with gaiety’s morn,
new chapter is opened
...

You should not have
ripped out your image
taken from us, from the world,
a portion of beauty.
...

With friends like these
Who needs enemies?
Falling on my knees
Got no company
...

Biden buys oil from our enemies.
Biden sells oil to our enemies.
Yet, he drills none for our own use,
Shunning common sense remedies.
...

Love your enemies
Keep them close
They are your best teachers
...

Muslim I am - nobody's enemy;
Hindus are not my enemies;
Budhists are not my enemies;
Christians are not my enemies;
...

I will do anything not to make enemies
But enemies I make
I make enemies with obedience
I make enemies with compassion
...

Ignored completely naked.
And seen to be,
The cause of wreckage.
Done to allow to do effective,
...

Who needs enemies?
Who wants enemies?
Who cares for enemies?
Who looked for enemies?
...

The enemies of your enemies
In politics are your political friends
The friends of your enemies
Are definitely not your friends
...

Inside enemy is more dangerous than outside one in the world;
Success of enemy over a nation is possible by inside enemies;
Inside enemies are the spies of enemy outside of any nation;
The unidentifiable enemies are the parasites of healthy body!
...
