Best Complacency Poems

Such beauty, only nature could compare
How fair her face, when first she graced my sight
Brown eyes so kind, highlighting flaxen hair
A smile so bright, one thinks of dawn's firstlight

Fate smiled, as we were both caught in love's snare
Entangled hearts immersed to love's delight
Two fools, who...

In quietly floating the stream,

not one to abandon the team,

you relinquish your row

just to go with the flow,

complacently drowning your dream....

I’ve been faking

but complacency’s fading latency is blatantly shaking me.
These cold cascading seconds trickle off the clock that faces me.
its hands strangle me, choke me and break me,
while rhythmic ticks and tocks sedate me.
It’s the reason that I ask you to wake me
before I forsake...

As we sit and watch,
    shake our heads in disbelief
         thoughts buried in sand...

nostrils filled with the asphalt rain 
sewer systems and whirlpool drains 
shadowed sun downs by one oclock
flashing lights and city cops 
wailing sirens in traffic rush 
taxi cabs and commuter bus 
when will all the chaos stop 
suicides from building tops 
drive by shootings hit...

It is foolish to feel so good, you forget about before.
It is foolish to feel so bad, you might again explore.
It is foolish to feel anything, anything but your core. 
It is foolish to feel this is easy, but you must implore. 

A young man...

Man’s greatest  strength is his mind
It empowers him though it may be twisted
and pined
Better still it has become his enemy too
For what he knows and views
  
It has weaken him by earthy temptations
So fuddled with many frustrations
 It is he that is the...

Befriending Complacency

I’ve never been so happy to get snapped
back into reality by the Lord.

I’ve been taking His blessings for granted
and befriending complacency for
far too long.
I’ve been letting my gifts pass me by,
overly entangled in the affairs of
this life.

So today I turn up the intensity
I crank...

Don't be complacent,
When development will rolls
Aware of fit falls....

Pride......and joy?

Pride is thinking that you know too much 
Thinking that the love you have is even half enough
It's clinging to honesty as if heard earnestly spoken
Or getting hurt and saying bones and will aren't broken
It's setting aside the friendships that build us up
And giving...

Willingly, I ran
That was the first sign my life was falling apart
Strange bike that brought me back in one piece, damn you
That hope of abduction never came to fruition 
I am complacent in the wake of my life’s finale

Climbing those eight flights of stairs
Only to...

It’s been corrupted,
Even the learning systems in normality altered
The Innocence of examinations
Has swerved
Into Guilt of examinations
Exam malpractices everywhere!

Many students have sown the seed of levity
Which has grown into complacency
They, being carefree,
Are shamefully confident
They would cheat to the bull!
Assured their money could in qualms set them...

Freedom isn’t a delicate flower;
It’s the fist that goes through the ground,
the teeth that grind at the chains,
the howl of a wind
that won’t ask for permission.

I refuse to bow to the crumbs of tomorrow,
I won’t let my bones sink into decay,
a shell waiting to grow...

There’s a constant hammering 
Alongside my bedroom window 
Repercussions of a corrupt gutter 

The maddening drain 
Obstinately and persistently has refused
All rehabilitation efforts  

There are no 
drip drip drips
Only 
Pound Pound Pounds
As water clashes with wood and metal 

The clangor must be amplified 
By...

Here comes the Boomer remover,
A geriatric hoover,
come to sweep up your complacency
And puncture your dismissivenes
so don't dissolve into hissy fits,
Or lectures on snowflake millennials,
Your snide and tested perennials,
'End the lockdown now,
Long live the new normal' is your siren cry,
but another, better world is coming,
It's no...
