Best Degradation Poems

homeless man on the edge of the park
         devours his gifted pizza
crumbs stick to his dirt streaked face like layers

DEGRADATION

            Degradation in life or character
               can never be allowed,

She loved a man who, in their early days,
romanced her and was quick with lofty praise.
Due to his love, life bore a rosy hue.
Does this sound too near-perfect to be true? 

Was it a dream? Soon Paradise was lost.
His heart grew cold, and hers would...

In the beginning was a great paradise
perfectly created* by God for mankind
wondrous gift to tend with grace He does suffice.

Paradise indeed, yet now badly maligned
as inhabitants caused her to be oppressed
hurt by their negligence and folly entwined. 

With technology soaring to progress’ crest
men’s exploits afflicted...

My mom is a rosebush
lovely and red
but if you are careless
you’ll wind up quite dead.

My dad is a slide rule
useful and endearing
whose entire career
has been engineering.

My bro is a penguin
laid-back and cool
who hangs out with buddies
his size up at school.

I am a journal 
tucked out...

The crumbling of humanity is developing. 
Burglary, deception, and hubris are ubiquitous. 
Money is being earned by cheating. 
These areas are known to be perilous.

The vast majority of the cash is made in the wild. 
It's time to settle in the matured and infirm. 
Ravenous...

It started out so nice. He wined and dined her
and brought her flowers when they had a date,
so gladly she agreed to marry him.
In fact, to be his wife she could not wait!

But with the ring securely on her finger,
he wasn’t the same man he...

By a slender thread hangs my sanity.
I am dangling just above an abyss.
At any moment, I can fall freely
Into the clutches of a nemesis.
Short moments seem like an eternity.
I have never been in a place like this.
I will fall into deep degradation.
Please let it be...

“A trail of human misery and degradation”
Derives from a mid-16th century text from Old French
Illustrated best by the Inquisition and the Holocaust
But it conjures up a long history of human stench
While the odor lingers in slavery and segregation,
Reappearing, as I write, in modern gender deprivation.

Life revolts against 
the fundamental law of Nature
for all things to inevitably degrade
to maximum disorder, entropy
with minimum free energy.

Life builds structure and order
against the trend
and needs to capture 
and burn energy continually
to maintain its form and existence
against the ravages
of entropy and decay.

To survive living things...

Try to imagine being owned;
purchased and sold as property.
Ravaged by dogs for amusement;
and denied all your human rights.

Before banning racial protests,
try to imagine being owned.
And the added degradation
of rape and appalling beatings.

It's hard to forgive slavery
when you believe you're still enslaved.
Try to imagine being owned;
and...

THE SUNSHINE STRUGGLES
The morning dew makes the brightness dim
The morning sunshine struggles to permeate the clouded atmosphere
Dews clumps visibility and the fog demands fog light for vehicular commuters
Yes! On top of the highest man exhibited location
In Ghana, Abetifi; the topmost of a palm tree
Swinging man...

Kensington 

Children of frustration
when dreams rose from the heap
the darkest of locations
tell white lies as they speak

open to persuasion
when abilities are weak
waves of degradation 
disturbs all those asleep

awake the dispensation 
to turn the other cheek
the house that they were raised in
and company they keep

a blur...

If humans make smarter phones, we are Slaves to whom?...

Let none say that I did not try;
A tragic bundle here I lie;
Through half-closed eyes I recognize:
Slim shadowy forms flow by.

My scraggy mate lies by my side;
Loyal to a comfort I provide;
A fremdship that in times reminds;
Of yearnings satisfied.

Numb to a putrid, stale estate;
Numb to...
