Utterly wrong to pin down the blameless

                                                                                       Author: Failx

the 2 given sets of homophones:
cedar (an evergreen tree)
seeder (person connected to a peer-to-peer network
who has a given file and makes it available for downloading)

days (more than one day)
daze (to bewilder)

Dare to be different
Where is the allotment of shame?
Sifting through the claimants
Contending to shift blame

On days of unsolicited meanness
Leaving one dazed with a given choice
Like a cedar pleasing with its greeness
Be a seeder extending a fair voice

Faces may be nameless
Fairness is still to be maintained
Utterly wrong to pin down the blameless
For which one is expected to explain

Sincerity is not just a virtue
When righting wrongs with reasons
Bless be the soul to seriously view
Divine rights of innocents

  3. I never thought of writing a poem devoted to homophones. Now that I've read yours, I just might try it. What fun!

  4. A different view can sure lead to a new way, sometimes wrongs have to be righted along the way.

  5. While I applaud your effort Hank I must confess I am not always an eager participant in games like this. Perhaps it is my old brain struggling with normal and screaming at abnormal!
