Poetry Contest

Write a poem as a Conspiracy Whistle-Blower taking the Witness Stand
There's so much trickery and lies in this world, ranging from all walks of life. From businesses to politics, from a disgruntled employee to a revenge-seeking victim....there's conspiracy all around us!

Pretend you have been summoned to court to take the Witness Stand in regards to a "Conspiracy" Case you EYE-WITNESSED yourself.

1).  Make/State the "conspiracy case" clear in your poem.

2).  Detail how you knew "the case" was a "conspiracy" in your poem.

3). Give your BEST argument and convince your readers your case was,    indeed, a CONSPIRACY against YOU or SOMEONE ELSE....

4). Stick with your WITNESS STAND ARGUMENT ONLY...Details of what the courtroom smelled like, looked like, made you feel, etc. is NOT relevant in this comp!

5). You may want to start off with a very brief introduction of your disposition as a witness: Describing VERY briefly where you were and how you became an EYE-WITNESS.

Comp Guidelines:
1). FREE-style and rhyme poetry welcomed; NO EXTENSIVELY LENGTHY POEMS....VOID sectional poems...
2). One (1) Maximum submission allowed.
3). No maximum word-count, but PLEASE NOT TOO LENGTHY...
4). Comp winner will be determined by host (NOT UP FOR PUBLIC VOTE).
5). Anyone need more time than 2 weeks? Let me know!!

Sample of my FICTIONAL Case is below....This is FICTIONAL.....

If you can’t hear them,  
Call it hallucinations.  
Diagnose those who do hear  
the voice of the underworld  
As schizos and psychos  
Simply based on the fact  
You can’t hear what they hear….  
So, no one will know what we know....  

Those who do hear voices of the underworld  
Know that, only because not everyone hears,  
Does not mean the voices are NOT real…  
Because the voices of the underworld  
Are MORE than just REAL….  
 
As the light knoweth not all things of the underworld  
So does the dark not understand the things of the light.  
When facing each other’s world, one does not  
Understand the other….  
 
Yet, when a saint sayeth, “The Lord spoke to me,”  
Everyone hearkens to listen  
And they call it Divine Revelation.  
Yet, when those who hear the dark speak,  
And says, “The voices of the underworld speak to me,”  
Everyone panics because it's coming from the underworld;  
So our job is to lay that listener down,  
And we do by burying him with countless pills  
Hoping he slumbers ‘til the day he dies…  
For he is like punished and accursed to all….  
 
Docs and psychiatrists, alike, we all suppress the truth  
For our money lies on those we diagnose,  
Whether legitimately or falsely  
Our greed reaches the heavens!  
We are money-driven..not people-caring!!!  
 
So, though we know the truth  
We are to turn to those concerned awaiting outside our office doors  
And we shall tell them  
“He’s gone mad! Schizophrenic and psychotic man he is!  
But, no worries! He will be of NO trouble at all…  
As long as he takes doses of pills  
And visits me weekly for talk therapy.”  
 
Then, the resident muttered under his breath,  
“For we shall silently kill him under pills  
So that he speaketh NOT anymore!”  
 
Then, they exchanged eye-glances,  
As if making a pact to hold-fast
the secret that their newly-diagnosed patient  
Was NOT a psycho at all!  
 

When they exchanged glances, the corner of the resident's lip  
Slightly and discreetly curled with a smirk  
And the doctor placed his pointed finger over his mouth  
And lightly let out a  
“Shhhh!”  
Coming closer to the resident he had exchanged glances with,
He softly said to him, as if no one else could hear,  
“Let our NEW money-maker sleeeeep and dreeaaammmm his life away.  
And let this secret NEVER leak-out  
from either one of our locked lips!”

Think this covers the comp guidelines....:)

I Rest My Case, Your Worship.

 
 
This is my final testimony, presented to the court.  

 
 
We drove a car home  
walked into a house  
dressed in clothes  
ate food, drank grouse  
 
Both of their jokes  
sucked bad, as they could  
leaving audiences gasping  
worse than crickets would  
 
He stood at the door  
with a Garfield's grin  
she peered in the window  
looking ridiculously thin  
 
He pulled out a gun  
aimed, squeezing the trigger  
she threw knives at his  
loud, anorexic figure  
 
A bullet went past  
fetching sweat from my face  
a blade stole a hair as it  
flew above head-space  
 
He fell to the floor  
in a pool of red blood  
she crumbled in pain  
landing in the flash flood  
 
I froze in the ice  
looking left, then right  
wondering if I had  
seen that slow-motion fight  
 
Truth is your worship  
try as I might  
I can't tell who died first  
that ice cold, night

I Refuse Your Declaration !

Why Should You Be Called A Worship Or Your Honor

When To Me Your Are Just Some Judicial Bloody Horror

I Refuse Your Declaration Of Any Way You Say It Must Be

Cause To Me That Is Another Great Legal Conspiracy

Some Take Me Down Cause I Speak The Truth Reality

It Is On Court Documents I Am One Sent As A Revolutionary

Contrary To Your All Arbitrary Decisions And Commentary

Because I Know The Real Code Under What You Live By

And With Your Outcry You Rely , Expect Me To Just Comply

Bow Down To A Judging God And Jury You Shall Just Get My Fury

 Mess With Me And You Deserve All You Will Get And You Will Regret

Trying To Program Or Upset By Your Demand My Own Mindset

And I Shall Reveal What You Want Concealed This Public Scam

To Make Us Your Puppets , Not Interrupt It , Some Final Plan !


Go Ahead , With Your Conspiracy , Try And Challenge Me !
