Allen Steble The Philosophical Poet Poems

Value your true and closest friends
When they're down help them to mend
Their trust do not betray
Their help do not delay
...

For centuries man has fought,
he's sharpened his swords,
he's serrated his knives,
he's holstered his guns,
...

Illustrious Babylon
where are your powers now?
city of fame
city of gold and silver
...

Will the sky still be blue
When the last fern stands alone
In a concrete world so grey
When steel pillars hide the light of day
...

when we die
when our blood dies
our spirit dies
our bones die
...

If I search for you
I hope you'll search for me
if I don't search
then I'll wait
...

If true love is love truly
then let true love be true
don't rip a hole in my chest
and crush my blood pump
...

It's eight o'clock
time to wake up
get ready for work
and iron my shirt
...

Five syllables first
seven syllables second
then its five again
...

On a bad day the world seems...
Smaller
Duller
Meaningless
...
