Best Demolition Poems

You look wrecked, are you feeling OK, 
Was all of that more than you thought?
Was all of that harder than it was meant to be, 
Leaving you all distraught,

Here, sit down, drink this water, 
Let us turn the lights right down low,
And we’ll be quiet...

The equipment,
Rumbles towards me in the distance.
Long arms,
Built, for demolition.
I close my eyes,
Taking in the memories.
The good and the bad.
Brick by painful brick,
I built these walls.
A lifetime of construction.
I have never been without them.
But soon,
They will be nothing but rubble....

Our white castle is starting to vanish  
I doubt we'll be able to rebuilt this ruins.
Those feelings that we're supposed to cherish 
appear to be even less than the Blue is.

I'm trying to sort out the pieces of gloomy
reflection, which somehow I ended up...

We’re taking down an old and rotting barn;
perhaps “garage” might be a better term.
Blue metal siding, faded long ago,
has not come easy; this I can confirm.

The timbers, cut when measurements were real,
provide a clue to estimates of age.
The wood is likely oak, extremely rough;
the cost...

Emo enlivened emulsions exhibit
exalted e-Memory equations
exemplifying equilateral ecstasy

Your wrecking ball
my castle grand
just shards of stardust
in your hand

  your wrecking ball
and all my plans
were slain.

  broken windows
shattered beams
of moonlight bouncing
off my dreams

your wrecking ball 
and all my schemes
in vain....

BAD THOUGHTS
BAD WISH
LET TO DEMOLITION
OTHERWISE IMPOSSIBLE
TO REAP PERFECTION....

i felt my life come tumbling down.
like a bride without a wedding gown.
just like the day you left me.
clowns come out to play.

i felt the walls of my mind drop down slowly.
features on my face turning to a frown.
just like the day,my son hurt himself.
clowns...

I BUILT A WALL 
SO HIGH
ONLY A SLIVER
SEES THROUGH
ENCASED
IN GLOOM
DREAD PILED HIGH
CHAOS LOOMS
PUSH BACK
PULL THROUGH
KNOCK DOWN
THE BRICKS 
AND BROKE FREE....

Tall stone towers and the fortress walls
Crumbling to pieces, shattering like glass.
Destruction reigns over what was built--
Over what was built to be broken.
My shield has fallen,
The rubble raining down upon my head.
Smoke and debris clouding out my vision.
Save me from this living nightmare!
Only your touch...

Amid his intoxicated anger,
like an ebony volcanic haze - erupted;
insanity strikes, trust dissolves.
Quaking, as an army of strewn deluge 
spirals, smothering my silhouette.

Uniform flames electricity, sparks.
Everything emotionally swirling;
I beg him to pause, be silent,
Whilst my engorged tender form
throbs,
pounding, 
spouting evidence....

There it was, a door
Shut, locked, hidden
Where memory held
Information, wisely forbidden

Mama led as I stood
Allowing self to feel
The stuff in the void
Only matter, I deemed real

She gave me the key
I heard the lock give way
The door swung open
As death and decay

....announced

IT"S DEMOLITION DAY

No more walls...

Calming journey present travels
Daunting highways of dirt and gravels

Firebombing  businesses and homes unravels
Housewarming rebuilding from grounds battles

~

Coming into life Victorian castles
Crawling toward the scrambles,

Daunting  hoards of freemen  shackles
Calming are the finish structures panels

"Sliddery via Ross" the signpost says,
at Monamore, where once there stood a mill.
A rustic bridge, a burn, the scene conveys
but little of the travails of the few
from whose imaginings and dreams so long ago
an edifice uniquely beautiful they grew.
Of elegant design, so grand and tall,
admired...

Atomic bombs are dropped on babies
Humanity is thrown out of the door
Humanity is dead. Humanity is no more
There are too many aggressive and demoniac atrocities
Wars are heartless, bestial, perilous, satanic and deadly
The hypocrisy is clearly obvious and real
This is the end of the world for...
