To eat more than you need
Is a symptom of greed.
To hold beyond what you'll use
Is that which will abuse.
It will turn rancid, putrid, and mortify
And be the one thing that can cause you to die.
This blog contains simple, thought provoking and deeply reflective poetry written by American poet, Doris Trueheart. Here is a large expanse of her poems covering a myriad of topics reflecting her heart.

Meliorate
You have come to
earth for one purpose: to meliorate,
To be moved with compassion for man’s condition and to storm
hell’s gate.
The pain and suffering of mankind, you’ve come to alleviate.
Oppression and exploitation, you’ve come to denunciate.
Before God formed you in your mother’s womb, of you, He did
forespeak.
He placed within you all you need to help the poor and the weak.
My child, your
presence was preordained, and not a mistake.
You are not confined by the status quo, but it, you have come to
break.
Your rod cast down before rulers turns into a snake,
And those that dare to oppose it, it shall overtake.
Your actions shall cause the earth to quiver and the foundations
to quake.
Seas shall overtake the land and leave destruction in their wake.
All of this earth and all creatures within, yes, God did create;
But in your hands He placed this creation with its future for you
to make.
So do not let a single moment go by in which you do not take
The opportunity to expand His kingdom, raise His banner and plant
His stake.
The earth is moaning, groaning and longing for the change you
shall initiate.
The tenets that you bring.
They will despise the songs of freedom from oppression that you
sing.
And yet, sing you must!
For this is the very thing
that will make this world just,
And bring peace and goodwill
to all that inhabit here,
And elevate our hearts and
minds to a higher sphere.

Song
She sang a song and sung it sensuously,
Stirring our senses and spurring our spirits spontaneously
To ascertain a resplendent sunrise set in the morning's sky
Ablaze with glorious colors.
Streaks of sunshine pierce the clouds
And saturates them with serendipitous hue.
Light falls below as silver droplets.
Birds arise from slumber signing praises.
They spread their wings and ascend to the sky.
The ocean wears a sequin gown that shimmers and sparkles.
It dances and sends waves splashing across a secluded spot of shoreline
Displaying two lovers shamelessly caressing and kissing
And subsisting in bliss.
Stirring our senses and spurring our spirits spontaneously
To ascertain a resplendent sunrise set in the morning's sky
Ablaze with glorious colors.
Streaks of sunshine pierce the clouds
And saturates them with serendipitous hue.
Light falls below as silver droplets.
Birds arise from slumber signing praises.
They spread their wings and ascend to the sky.
The ocean wears a sequin gown that shimmers and sparkles.
It dances and sends waves splashing across a secluded spot of shoreline
Displaying two lovers shamelessly caressing and kissing
And subsisting in bliss.
