Best Absurdity Poems
This page is intentionally left blank.
It is intentional,
a deliberate attempt act of obscurity.
These are the words you are not reading.
These words do not exist.
Their appearance exists nowhere,
They are ghostly and untouchable.
They are empty invisible vessels,
Voids, absent content.
Your brain is intentionally left blank.
You only think you are thinking.
You are not thinking.
Your thoughts cannot be traced.
The mind on which you rely
cannot be found.
Your passions are intentionally left blank.
You cling to incorporeal beliefs
and judgements.
Your hopes and dreams,
Your loves and hates have no essence.
They are disembodied and intangible.
You create your own meaning
and order.
You impose it on all your blank pages.
While waiting for my brainy date
My ignorant friend cried "Oh great!
Now everybody's dead!"
He so absurdly said,
Upon seeing Hamlet did berate.
Absurdity
Behind the closed portal and the open door,
stands the lonely legless man with his paramour.
He is singing silently
in the peace of night violently
a nocturnal sunrise
of miserly giving called nameless
absurdity.
With the stroke of midnight and the bells of high noon,
is the sunless side of a bright full moon
it's florescence darkens
paths blocked by people smartly
stupidly cunningly planned on
lush arid land in
absurdity.
In the quiet of the day is a cacophony
the most pleasant of uncoordinated harmonies
an insane, intense lullaby
that deafens silently softly
a song of shame haughtily
carries the same variation
of noise depravation for
absurdity.
I see the wind blowing my hair past my face
But I cannot feel it's caress upon my cheek.
I hear the oceans echoing whisper as it rushes towards the shore
But I cannot see it's dark blue waters
I feel the sun planting light kisses upon my skin
But i hear only the deepest silence of the night.
Fore I am truly unhappy.
Feeling alone, shunned, forgotten, stangnant and shamed,
I plead with myself, thinking of what I could possibly do to change these things.
It's only in my sanest, most lucid moments that I realize,
Just how big a fool am I.
So I cannot feel the wind, big deal. I will hear it.
So I cannot see the deep blue of the rolling ocean waves, so what. I will feel it.
So I cannot hear the effects of the sun, I will see it's glorious rays surround me.
My senses, lost in their sadness, are in themselves mad.
Backwards
Ironic
Utterly maddening.
So. What.
This, I am slowly, very slowly, learning, does not mean that I am lost.
It simply means that I am stumbling around sensing with all the wrong senses
The things, which lost in sadness, are still around me
Apart of me
With me.
And it is in my moments of sadness, that this brings the biggest comfort.
The biggest reason to topple out of bed and begin my day aknew.
And even as I chuckle at my own absurdity, I find that laughing? That really isn't a big deal either. For in it, I glory, just a little, in the sadness.
Will we soon do away with all our currency
The way things are going it's almost a certainty
Debit cards have taken over
What happens playing poker
Do they throw in their debit cards, the heights of absurdity

Coz of love
I risk my life to save a life
Cos of love
I became a fool for the fool
Coz of love
I denied myself the only bread that makes me survive only to see a soul
Survive
Love is a reality of absurdity
Coz of love
I became poor for a dying soul to become rich
Coz of love
I was trapped in the pool of debt, ridicule and sorrow
Love is a reality of absurdity
Love, whether in a relation
For friendship
Or relationship
Geared towards marriage,
It’s that which positions your heart and mind
To Generousity without Expectation
To Tolerance without Limit
To Acceptance without Judgement
To “folly” in Goodness
Love is a reality of absurdity
She left the tent in holy fervor,
Hell-bent to spread the Word.
The Spirit moved and made her quiver;
No act of faith was too absurd.
She knocked on doors, she spoke with zeal,
Her faith she shared in earnest.
There was no doubt God’s love is real:
His justice is the sternest.
I asked what other gods contend
For space inside her pretty head.
Might Yahweh, Allah or Shiva rend
The veil between gods ‘live and dead?
Do you beseech the Norse god Thor,
Once favored by the common folk?
The Son of Odin is heard no more.
What power broke that yoke?
For love there was an Aphrodite,
For war the Greek god Ares.
Athena’s wisdom eclipsed the mighty,
As Apollo‘s virtues the Virgin Mary‘s.
Though long I queried with due respect,
She unyielding kept her patience.
“On Jesus only I reflect;
To Him I owe allegiance.”
One god only fills her life -
It severs her from me.
I trust in reason, yet love my wife
With faith in one less god than she.
When I close my eyes shut, each time.
Of what I mean to you I think, every time.
How I was spellbound having seen you, I remember.
How I never ran out of the words, which to you admire.
Bonded were we by a cord of friendship.
Solemnly I swear, for you, I'd endure any hardship.
I adored you my treasure, your soul, its austerity.
Something seemed amiss, latched was a small absurdity.
It demanded more, but couldn't meet its satiety.
It ignited a blazing inferno within me.
It changed me, unaffected how could you be?
It was really very simple but our lives made it complicated.
It was always possible, it couldn't have been really faded.
It, for me, always got more intense.
For just having met you, I'm grateful to the Divine Providence.
It's a crazy little thing, if you'd rather ask.
All my insecurities it seemed to mask.
Every moment spent with you, I deeply miss.
Do you really know what this absurdity is?
To our only existence, life it seems to bestow.
The more it is given to us, still more we endow.
It's a beautiful blessing granted to us from Him, above.
It's just the one and only thing called Love.
My brother David met William Geris
A former head of state of Utopia
Having dinner in the city of Paris
They talked about big things
David had plans to run for the state Judiciary
So he discussed it with William Geris, He said
Go ahead David, for me that will be beneficiary
Play the music and let them dance to your tune
Get to the poor folks and promise them heaven on earth
Woo them with sweet words of a better tomorrow
Breaking the cycle of poverty and a prosperity rebirth
Promise them free education and free health care
You need to go to all the churches
Promise them every valley will be filled and every mountain made plain
You need to be charismatic to show you are ready for service
And don’t forget to say your long prayers
You need to hang out with the drug smuggling gangs
To really show you are one of them
Tell them to give you the chance to emancipate them from death pangs
And know well, they love to break laws and ransack state properties
You need to link up with Organization for Youth Ablaze (OYA)
“A Change you can see! A Change you can believe in!!”
Now that is what I call the ‘advertising phase’
Promise them of gargantuan jobs and scholarships
You also need to hung out with the financial gurus
A kind of ’Dating’ before Marriage
Sound it aloud, they are the ones with the clues
Cars-Yes! Gargantuan contracts-Yes! Meetings at some posh hotels-Yes!
Pull the wool over their eyes, indicting songs of hope and peace
But when you lose the election insists on a recount
A diversionary tactics of getting the opposition votes cease
“I’ll slap you so hard that your teeth will come off”
Mr. Geris is this what is on the ground, you call politics?
It looks like I will be a schoolboy fantasy and a sketch cartoon
David, my son most politicians have with them a bag of Poly-ticks
I call it the absurdity of the absurd Poly-tricks
You claim I am equal to you, and you to me
Are you blind as a bat? Can't you see?
You're a man from your head to your toe
I'm a girl, now a woman, from the very get-go
A man's muscles ripple under your clothes
Even you suspect what every sane person knows
It will never be fair, just because you think you're female
that we non-trans women athletes are left to fail
LAUGHTER, ABSURDITY, YOUR ABSENCE
In my despair I asked the clairvoyant old woman
will you bring the sky to cheer me up?
She answered, “I can’t, the sky is already around you.”
I never knew the sky was around me.
Swans flying in pairs don’t feel lonely
Doves mating for life aren’t lonely either
Ducks warm their young ducklings with heat
their breasts give a cozy warmth, they feel affection
“But I can bring the sun to warm you,” she said.
"but I do not want that kind of warmth,
I miss my love's fervor
not the sun's heat."
Sometimes my misery turns to laughter with the absurdity
I’m not famous or rich but I'm not living a deprived life either
so why do I feel this depression that drowns me?
Could it be your absence drives me to the madness of loneliness?
we are actors
arguing in
plotless movies
performing within
disconnected realities
muddling through
absurd battles
hoping for
direction
striving to
make sense
of our roles
in a
cosmic
Cinema
of the
Absurd
medical progress
climate conscious practicing
destructive boots march
aBsUrDiTy
The rhythm of life
The harmony that is
Upset only by human intervention
Destroyed by ego
The greed I see
Creativity masked by superficiality
Artificial appearance
Shallow experience
Existential absurdity
Waiting for something
When there is nothing
The side effect of life is death
This moment is all there is
The eternal moment
No beginning no end
Just is or justice
Organic matter
Is there such a concept?
DNA at the quantum level
A mutation – a quantum leap
A paradox of human intelligence
The more we know the more we don’t know
When everything around me throws me into the pool of insanity
It reminds me of the nature of humanity
A justification of reality
When trapped in poverty
I thrive to survive in this life of uncertainty
While some sell their virginity to survive
I sell my talent to survive
While some reincarnate pharaonic slavery just to survive
I trust in the living God to survive
To attain a mere degree, they compromise the code of morality
But I believe in the trinity; Transparency, Dignity And Loyalty
They applaud me when I fulfill their request
But mock and bite me at the back when I thrive to be my best
They push me away when I’m in debt
But pull me when I’m the greatest
So, what then is the meaning of life?
Why do we foolishly thrive to please people?
Why can’t you be you as YOU?
Why can’t you be real?
Why do you suffocate your identity just to keep up an appearance?
This is absurdity
An insanity
That which reflects the nature of humanity
A reality
Nobody seem to understand me cos they are not me
But I love me cos I am ME.
