Poems About Shame by Top Critiquers

sure, buddy.
a guilty pleasure of mine is
reading conversion therapy books
by men who are clearly gay
and trying to make me believe
that rest stop encounters they’ve had
finished with the glory of God
shining down and saving all
between the oil pumps and bogs
because through prayer they’ve overcome
their thirst for same-sex touch…
sure, buddy.

Oops!! I Missed Another One
The United States does not have a "justice" system
It has a "legal" system.
Thank You David Baldacci
Those in charge define what is, or is not, "legal"
That which aids and comforts the decision makers,
and their friends and contributors,
becomes "legal"
That which makes them uncomfortable,
or less financially profitable,
is made "illegal"

Indulge
He indulges,
Until his belly, metaphorically bulges.
Jesus saves,
But still he craves....
His addiction,
Is the female depiction.
Her friction,
Is both his pleasure, & his affliction....
He tries, but his acts, they live in stark contradiction.
Praying victory, but it reads just like fiction.
Pondering the crucifixion....
Until he feels a Spiritual conviction.
But still, he remains a slave....to this damning infliction.
Until his belly, metaphorically bulges.

Atomic Bilateral
In an essence of riotous perpetuity
Melancholy lurks in the fray
Sanity is judged by the same decree
That most of us betray
Results are temperamental, at best
They resolve my weary mind
While my thoughts engage in secrecy
My feelings can rarely unwind
I try so hard to navigate
The labyrinth of my sin
But reprieve is caught behind locked doors
And the keys aren’t letting me in
Forbear from tantalizing my soul
With an inherently unattainable dream
A meaningless violation of ecstasy
Is...

I'll be home for Christmas
Sitting all by myself
Alone and self forsaken
Refusing anyone's help
Too many mistakes
That I've made
Too many memories
I've lost along the way
Surrounded by empty bottles
Knowing it's too late
Wondering how I can still love
Something I've grown to hate
If I could turn back time
I would've taken a different road
Wish i could've seen
How things would unfold
To turn my back on everything
That I've ever held so dear
Just to wallow in self pity ...

Find Your Clothes And Put Them Back On
Could
you please
find your clothes
and put them back
on? I mean, I know
how hot it is outside.
But I still don't think that the
management of this store would take
kindly to seeing a customer
standing naked in front of a cooler.
