The polite “keep it down,”
Which stills his finest crown.
And leaves him like a clown?
The wasted razored words,
That fly like scattered birds,
How utterly absurd!

Parlance
Each one an RSVP,
A flimsy slit, so crisp, so slight.
His parlance drips with spite.
Her tongue is just a matchstick,
A flash, a wisp, then ash remains.
No sting, just fleeting pains.

Shame
Shame has been gentrified,
With turquoise blue applied,
And vended as candour.
On furlough forever,
It may return never,
A mere cosmetic feel.

Masterstroke of Error
The quiet part out loud,
He cries 'surprise' in dazed display,
His own trap set, gone astray.
The whisper megaphoned,
He aired his guilt, with no care,
Megaphone solo, rare.

Authority Figures
Headmasters in timeless suits,
Miss rebel thoughts take hold,
Their lecterns face the bold.
Headmasters in vintage suits,
See not dissent begin to form;
While benches plan a forceful storm.

Bubbling Defiance
Be happy like champagne,
Refusing to go flat,
It bubbles with disdain.
Mimic the unruly,
It shows no dignity,
It bounces unduly.

Slang
Her thoughts—mental graffiti,
Scrawled on proper language's wall,
Using words from the city.
Her intellect wears its slang,
With dishonour as its crest,
In her words, a constant clang.

Thinking Twice
Thinking about your own thinking,
It hears its own voice, echoed back,
And then it starts to answer back.
Thinking about your own thinking,
Is trying to fold a misty sheet,
Which always remains incomplete.

A Noble Cause
An unholy order,
He waits without complaint,
As first to be a saint.
A martyr in training,
He embraces the flame,
To be the first in fame.

The Known Unknown
A residue of dread,
From a letter unread,
You wonder with clear head.
The known unknown buzzing,
Spammers, scammers—puzzling,
Now it has you muzzling.

The Grand Jury
Another focus group,
of keen nosey parkers,
appointed to intrude.
The furtive fact-finders,
convened to pry and stare,
compelled to judge as viewed.

Mens Rea
A mental Post-it note,
Inscribes "Rules optional."
A sly and abstract rote.
Winks, smirks, and polite coughs,
When morals are not seen,
The brain behind them scoffs.

Minor Irritations
Minor irritation’s
like standing, damp, in queue,
then splashed by some sleek coupé.
Disapproving aunties,
their glances, sharp as beaks,
peck soft but leave their mark.

Bad Luck
Bad luck—no staying power,
As a fog, it has its hour,
But quickly it will cower.
Bad luck, for all its bluster,
It forms on glass a cluster,
A wipe will end its bluster.

Selective Truth
Truth—Political memoirs,
Hindsight's gloss on past affairs,
Awkward parts filed smooth with care.
Truth—the redacted report,
Key points concealed from the court,
Veiled by the ink's own black court.

Impulse Control
Impulse—strategic armour,
It starts a vague guesswork game,
And never once makes a claim.
Masterclass in shifting blame,
It points the finger elsewhere,
And gains applause for its care.

Horizon
Advancing, retreating,
It moves the sand away,
Yet shapes the bay each day.
Defiant, faraway,
It waits within the sky,
And points the way to try.

Relativity
The setting and timing,
determine what is strange,
but it is former change.
Given a century,
quirk becomes tradition,
it's a new edition.

Comfort
A rocking chair’s embrace,
matches your youthful pace,
for avoiding disgrace.
The twilight year’s armchair,
is built from road's rough wear,
a reward for your care.

Sacrifice
Sacrifice is a migrant,
Who vanishes in workforce,
Their toil a generous grant.
Sacrifice is a statesman,
Who cedes power for conscience,
So history may keep its plan.

Sutures
Expertly self-deceived,
The blade excises vain disguise,
Tailor’s shears for hollow guise.
A scalpel unyielding,
Newsprint-brutal, spares no thread,
Best-dressed lies stark naked, bled.

Urbanity
Manners—the polite bow,
On the volcano's brim,
A quaking, formal vow.
Manners—diligent queues,
In vast pandemonium,
A choice to still not abuse.

Pedigreed
The dynastic blueprint,
In parchment, pale and old,
A story bought and sold.
The barcode—pedigree,
A creature, finely bred,
On past acclaim is fed.
