Best Complacent Poems


Premium Member Tolerant and Complacent

When terrible  things in life become more common
They become less terrible
And a societies norm
There lies the danger
We become more tolerant and complacent
And we tend to just look away
So our hearts are no longer torn.

From the homeless on the cold streets
To the old Lady attacked and beat
By evil thugs
Not just content with robbing
To buy drugs.

It's...

Complacent Conformity

Hollow hearts and empty minds
frozen as we turn.
Terror lies in what one finds
if he dare attempts to learn.
 
Another road is often best,
though traversed the very least.
And the tide of ignorance never crests,
but thrives on knowledge ceased.
 
To a rocky death with the herd,
you'll succumb to the insanity.
Just remember now my final word:
surrender destroys humanity....

Complacent

My stomach is a little bit grown

I sometimes feel overthrown

bring it back those lean years

because everybody falls apart sometimes

fighting the shadows in your head

do it with a heart wide open

every step that I take

is another mistake

I have been too strong for too long

I am human too

I bleed red blood

so complacent I have become

sometimes I get...

Being Complacent

Being Complacent

Do prefer things  which are decent, 
In either the past, future or recent; 
Checking email, 
Without fail; 
Main problem is being complacent.

Complacent, Nowhere To Go

Walks on the line of ineptness 
Treacherous and unstable footing
Pain is the fuel for complacency 
Tortured, but unbreakable
The location of no escape...

Premium Member ECHO MAN MY NAME

 
I am a time traveler,
I travel incognito,
I am immortal,
Have traveled worldwide,
From the beginning of time,
So this is no nursery rhyme!
I see your planets devastation,
My message, 
Hope, peace and unity.
My home is a far away galaxy
Far out in space,
I am saddened looking down,
At your wanton destruction
Of the human race.
In my galaxy, we live in harmony,
There...

Complacent

Become what you were meant to be 
The world awaits your arrival, anxious to see

Evolution is bound to rear its head 
Afraid of change, you aim to stay stagnate instead 

No new adventures for the lonely, just similar strides 
 One has killed any chance of change, multiple homicides...

Complacent Ones

Controlled by obsessions no longer can we trust. 
Cradled by your own indulgences for the cancer eating rust. 
The waste of time, sifting is the sand. 
Ever eluding conscience plight, 
Don't be your own dealer with rigored hand. 
Epitome just as black as night. 
A blasphmous horrid smite.
Those whom believe the lie are those he...

Could it be Trump is complacent
In his nose has cold may be nascent
Acts like little infant
Anger out does vent
We wonder if he will repent.

Be Not Complacent Bout Dire Global Warming

Be not complacent 'bout dire global warming...

Thus spake Zarathustra 
necessitating donning layered clothing
in tandem, especially trumpeting   
being with wise mind and economical
exercising usage of fossil fuel 
completing most tasks 
involving driving automobile
courtesy designing efficient, 

deliberate, and conscientious 
strategy consolidating
tasks within one fell swoop, 
plus turning off heat and lights
and adapting, learning to chill...

Complacent Cybernetic Communities

Keep life simple and supple
When aside from your dimples you brush conundrum
For joys to triple or quadruple
To the beat at the feet of laughter’s drum

Whose percussion glorifies and ratifies
Happiness in all her splendor and majesty
As happiness against odds defies
The travesty of dishonesty in the sacristy that begs for the amnesty

Dishonesty doesn’t deserve in its swerve
To...

Complacent On Broken Glass

Brought to the river flowing around a cracked stone, 
The idealogy was framed to derive a clone,
With inner urge of chewing a decayed bone, 
Replacement was done for new headship at home, 
Determination has stationed her modul excellently through a pone, 
Tried all her best to play a father's role,
Working with peace,I never hit her...

We Can'T Be Complacent With Covid-19

WE CAN’T BE COMPLACENT WITH CODVID-19
We are fighting an unseen enemy
It is real not rare- this coronavirus
At this time of COVID-19 pandemic being our enemy
Don’t be complacent Mr. Clean 

You may have lived all your life being clean
Be you a laborer, officer, medical practitioner or an academician
Coronavirus is no respecter of personality, celebrity or position...

Complacent.

When terrible things in life become more common
They become less terrible
And a societies norm
There lies the danger
We become more tolerant and complacent
And we tend to just look away
So our hearts are no longer torn.
From the homeless on the cold streets
To the old Lady attacked and beat
By evil thugs
Not just content with robbing
To buy drugs.
It's true...

if only they had known that they are slaves, and what they are enslaved for....
