Quotes about satire, page 10
Druther Dumpers
Druther dumpers,
Free to voice their opinions publicly...
At the expense of others,
Disguised as 'entertainment'.
And...
With a freedom to broadcast their beliefs,
May be considered by many...
To provide comedic relief.
But are given pseudo power...
To maim the intelligence,
Of those who can not distinguish...
Between one who uses satire,
As a means to divide...
The ones captivated by thoughts,
That leads to maximizing a destruction....
Represent intentions to incite and incense,
An advertising to actively unravel and not to mend.

A Reality With Desire
A reality with desire
No one else can admire
It may be subject to satire
Whole life can be on fire
But dream within ambit
The situation seems to be fit
Its elegance and joy
Full of excitement to enjoy
Have a desire
Try to make it real without putting life on fire
There is chance
You must try at once
Peace at heart
That can be called real art
It may give full indication
What can be the best relation?

M: VI: The Lover of Cowardice
Surviving the suffering
That had accompanied the exit
Of early gods,
Despite scorn, satire and pity,
I succeeded in making another
Out of suffering itself.
Having seen my predicament
As the result of bad luck
I was able to maintain my pride.
I did not hate,
Merely resented.
I was not deterred
By being ridiculed, mocked, belittled,
And picked at by someone
In more addicted straits
Than even I,

To A Person Who Wrote Ill, And Spake Worse, Against Me
Lie Philo untouch'd, on my peaceable shelf,
Nor take it amiss that so little I heed thee;
I've no envy to thee, and some love to myself:
Then why should I answer since first I must read thee?
Drunk with Helicon's waters, and double-brew'd bub,
Be a linguist, a poet, a critic, a wag;
To the solid delight of thy well-judging club,
To the damage alone of thy bookseller Brag.
Pursue me with satire; what harm is there in't?
But from all viva voce reflection forbear;
There can be no danger from what thou shalt print,
There may be a little from what thou may'st swear.

A Love's Desire
In my desperate need
To know of your whereabouts,
I asked the moon about you
And it turned its back on me, ,
Trying to hide behind a cloud...
I also asked the stars
With no response at all...
I had no choice, indeed,
But ask for help from above,
Since, witnesses they were both
Of our passionate love...
Now, stuck with inquire without result,
I am alone, sad and really hurt,
Making everything sounds like a satire,
Getting old and tired...
One question remaining,
Should I give up
Love's matters
And retire?
Her, and the whole world

Plants
Plants, ants, ant, as, at, Pat, tap, sat, past, last;
More heights for you and, keep the flag of love flying high!
And like the muse of your peace in the land of beauty.
South Carolina,
21-point lead;
And like a voice from Africa! !
But with satire work in the name of the African struggle.
Plants, slants, pants, wants, chants, grants, giants, ants;
With starry skies to respect your love,
But, water the plants and let them grow.
Zion, lion, Orion, ion, union, attraction, station, nation, addition;
And another dead body was put into the silent grave,
But, i am what i am and, i remain as i am!

One plus one is one
Oh seen lots of poems and enjoyed
In fact stayed near to it with joy
But keep it veiled it and accept
Love is for self joy and hence must be secret
It must not be aired
Often it may be subjected to satire
People may soon loose interest and get tired
Let it remain with you and be admired
It is nice to feel and share
And it is exceptional and daring
Love is to feel and take care
I don't know how far it is fare?
Rose need not be told that it has fragrance
Its lovely appearance is to seen and taken as chance
E may have it or miss it at once
But must be borne in mind that one plus one only one

Sonnet 100: Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem,
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, resty Muse, my love's sweet face survey
If time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make time's spoils despisèd everywhere.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.

Stand there to welcome
It is melting of snow
As we yet don't know
Fire may burn all we have
I am not that brave
Thirst will have to crunched
Body may have to touched
There may be revealed eternal joy
Nothing to worry but only to enjoy
It is natural to feel empty
That is an urge put by almighty
We are human beings but may endure
To love each other for very sure
We need not consume each other
But strengthen to add feather
Never burn a desire
But learn how to admire

Good Demonstrators
(for all demonstrator, please read this)
not follower, but educated
not destroy, but change
not breaking the gate, but building the door
not spoiled, but fresh spirit
not demanding, but giving
not violence, but creative plan
not waiting, but being patience
not young, but future
not burn the tire, but clean the road
not attack, but negotiate
not argue, but prove first
not radical, but smart freedom
not anger, but passion
not block the street, but make a bridge
not force the will, but listen
not annoy public, but help them
not terror, but peace
not throw the stone, but give a flower
