Writer’s Block
So many enlightened books, I should’ve read, But why, am I so intrigued with Mystery? So many edifying movies, I could’ve watched,But why, am I so obsessed with Immorality? So many virtuous poems, I would’ve written,But instead, I expound on this … Continue reading Writer’s Block
Post-Moderism
It hurts my brain,When I observe,The politics of selfish men.And that our age-old truths,Aren’t accepted by the church,Anymore! How can we be free?When the liberties they take,Become our bondage.It corrupts my flesh and injures my soul.For it seeks to destroy,The … Continue reading Post-Moderism

Watch Your Words
If I don’t mind my thoughts,They’ll get a mind of their own. If you dare push my buttons,I’m gonna’ push back—harder. I’m like a volcano,I can only hold it in—so long. When I was a teenager,I’d get my feelings hurt. … Continue reading Watch Your Words
Canceled
I do what I can, so that I will be liked.Everybody wants attention, but not in every detail,just the ones, that I’m not ashamed of. I try to make myself presentable.I put my best foot forward,and hope that you won’t … Continue reading Canceled
Fanaticism
When you choose religion,there are consequences.And it’s easy to become entangled,with so many strings attached. For at the altar,a puppet master awaits you,and his understudy, too. Oh, did I forget to mention,that you’re the puppet? By: ElRoyPoet © 2019 Commentary: … Continue reading Fanaticism

Everywhere I look,I see people in need.I see them struggling;I feel their suffering. It hurts my mindand grieves my heart.Why are there so many freemanlosing control? I pray each nightfor all of them—their burden is unbearable—it’s crushing my soul. I … Continue reading Saving The World
The Truth Hurts
Anything I say, offends you. What ever happened to the old saying: “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”? Now it seems that words hurt even more—they hurt twice. Because if you become triggered—you … Continue reading The Truth Hurts
