Best Bury Your Head In The Sand Poems


The Emu
Afar and beyond the ravines and glens
Two glares have stared to reach

I have jumped, sprung, and climbed
Fluttering only an illusion

I raced the fawns, squealed 
With the bats, and even swam with fish

I slithered among the grass, a krait
I supposed I’d be and even tried to...

Free Cee Oh My God I Hate Your God
OH MY GOD I HATE YOUR GOD

I cannot hold back the flood of tears
and it's been that way for years
kids tossed away in a garbage heap
and not even buried the traditional six feet deep
raped, defiled and killed
and this is what your god hath willed
my god...

Plant a Thought
Plant a thought


Mixed up Human, Chemical imbalance.
Build a tree or plant a Zen romance.
Tip the scales and put it back in your hands.
Roll a paper, then just sit back and relax.


Something bubbles in the undergrowth.
Pledge alliance, swear an oath.
Light a wish and watch it burn...

Land of Decree
The earths just one big trash can
Gets pushed up into a mountain
The oil spills, the whacked out pills
Look how we're surrounded

Land of decree, home of decay
Stopping tomorrow to deal with today
Mixed up messages mixed up minds 
All of these questions, all of the time

Going to...

Falling Into the Abyss
My life at the moment is hard
And im finding it hard to cope,
Its like im abseiling
But freely with no rope.

No excitment, no thrill
Just pain and hurt,
Im falling, crashing, falling
Face down in the dirt.

My battered broken body
Lays there in a heap,
I know where i need to...

Losing the Write
I saw the importance of the things that I say
When my train of thoughts was ferried away
A sentiment scrounger enticed me to follow
Leaving me speechless in gloom with the shadows

My lips, they were sewn with threads of forbidden
My heart couldn't handle the sudden constriction 
And...

Days
Pain, pain go away

Some days are good days, and others are not
some days are just in-between
Pain goes away, sneaks back again
making you think life is mean

Happy go lucky go out and enjoy
get your mind off what's at hand
Some of those days, you just want to...

In the Closet
Your big beautiful black eyes--
They haunt me when I try to sleep.
They taunt me while I lie awake.
I can't get away.
Believe me I've tried.
Remember when I said "no"?
Yeah, I lied.

I am reminded every day
That perhaps I should have "yes."
But you know me best.
I'm too shy;...

Captivating property with panoramic view
Painted with pride in red white and blue
Once standing proud and renowned everywhere

Wonderful neighbors, bilingual you know

Beautiful shoreline on the east and the west

Watch You Sleeping
Half opened eyes are forced shut from the glare of the sun,
(Just build up your strength and try again).
On first reckoning something feels different, something is missing,
It's just hard to pin point something you cannot see.
I stumble around trying to find what evidently is just...

Homeland
When will you show me better  days, my Homeland?
Don’t let us suffer, again, the past regimes, 
Don’t fear,  I have no claims and no demand,
I only dare to have my tiny dreams

That your own children will love this place for ever,
Putting down roots...

Burying One's Head In the Sand
Burying One’s Head in the Sand

By Elton Camp

An ostrich doesn’t really bury his head in the sand
But, to some humans, that idea sounds really grand

There is no need for me to lose weight
The problems of obesity won’t be my fate

For retirement I won’t bother to...

Ok keep below the radar, stay out of sight,
Bury your head in the sand, do not incite,
Why get involved, it’s not your fight,
Zip up your mouth, should be alright.

Rise above them, turn the other cheek,
Play It real cool, no trouble you seek,
Come on dad, they’ll...

the ease…I could connect across the country and the world with my family,
our friends and their families.

It’s a way of connecting with a group of people I am blessed to know…

Lost
You are lost to me in your world of despair
I reach out to comfort you- but you say 'I don't care'
now but a shadow of the person I knew
muttering, staring, broken and blue
bottles are hidden and stashed in the trash
I thought you were broke and...
