Best Backbreaking Poems
I'M the Power Player10
I sprint as I cry in pain
Coach yells, “ RUN, PASS, SCORE”

Blocking out all the screaming
And the chaotic noises

From the sidelines
I dash through five tough defenders
With everything that I have got
7
Out of breath I devour the last of energy
I can use to score the...

Diego Rivera's Flower CarrierDiego Rivera’s Flower Carrier
My load to carry is backbreaking.
But this I must do to feed my family.
On the ground, on all fours, praying;
For fairness in barter and my return safely,
In this capitalist enterprise, I am engaging.
My basket is laden to overflowing the brim;
Of the most...

Epic
Tale of An Ex-DetaineeWe'd rather put up with the ordeal
Isn't exile a pride?
You cannot judge us,
But merely respect us.
However much we forgive,
We cannot find consolation
Every day, we relive what happened.
Every day.
We still smell the stench of them
They came back many times
Each time, they...
Accused. Humiliated. Taunted. Tortured.
And our innocence...

Tough Pill To Swallow11/1/21
Ever since a child
It's all been a vicious cycle
Through all the tribulations and trials
I was happy or I didn't smile
Stuck for awhile, or got by with a different style
Most obsessed with wealth and a prestigious title
So much becoming malicious and vile
People and their crooked ways
Time...

Outside FunLet's have some fun outside
I'll plant some new flowers
spruce up the tired summer beds
so out I wandered into the garden
Hunt high and low for my trowel
can I heck find it, bet your ass no
ok I will use a folk instead
that is right close to hand
Oh...

Truth Is My Reward
Truth is a treasure
hid in the sand
I’m always gonna keep
digging and digging
Flashing my searchlight,
looking and looking
I’m forever on the treasure hunt
Being a truth prospector is hard work,
you gotta go sift thru a lot of dirt
Caked up lies, built over time ...
buried so deep,
making...

Goes Without Saying3/27/22
It all goes without saying
At times it's mentally draining
Physically straining
In my head and heart constantly raining
Still in training
In order to reach great things
Can't get it done by waiting
Give it all your best attempt before chance is fading
From bad choices, still paying
Couldn't fix it by praying
Or...

With vigor, intense lines did exhaust--
His road not taken was backbreaking
That poet grew old from spine aching.
