trust – A Picture and a Poem

These are special requests poems, someone sent me the bumper sticker idea.

ONE

Jesus, you have everything some girls

Love to see in another human

You are determined, smart, handsome, kind

But you cannot be trusted with love

Everyone flocks to you, everyone

Else doesn’t know your truth, everyone

Thinks, that humor, that knowledge is all

You’re made up of but I know you’re

An untruth, under that guise you’re an

Asshole, a sham of a gentleman.

TWO

Jesus yes! to casual sex, he

Loves my breasts, my ass, my hips, my face

You do too – but not casually

But you are too serious for me

Everyone has opinions, no one

Else matters, who cares what anyone

Thinks, you want long term commitment and

You’re ready for forever, but I’m

An explorer, curious to learn

Asshole from saint with no strings attached

A Bumper Sticker Poem

Bumper Sticker Poems – a form I created, inspired by cento and golden shovel poetry, with the following guidelines:

Using a bumper sticker as inspiration use each word in the bumper sticker as the first word in each line of the poem
The theme of the poem may or may not have anything to do with the message of the sticker

Title should be the words of the bumper sticker
May or may not be rhymed
9 syllable lines
Number of lines depends on number of words on the bumper sticker

The world is my country, all mankind my brethren and to do good is my religion

_____________________________________

The ambition is solitary

World domination is not the goal

Is happiness enough to fulfill?

My calm is my sanctuary

Country walks fill an important role

All creatures great and small matter still

Mankind is evolutionary

Are we able to display control?

My fear is that we won’t know until

Brethren and sistren may be wary

And we wonder what we can do as a whole

To cover the planet in goodwill

Do good until it’s involuntary

Good until we all emerge a whole

Is this a struggle that’s all uphill?

My trust is in all of existence

Religion is peace with persistence.
