Best Desensitised Poems

I shore up my doubt, behind a loosely bound hope 
Which in turn is propped up without foundation
Cynical of a life, at the mercy of luck
Collateral damage feeds my reservation 

I shore my up tomorrow with what I see today 
Without conspiracy or investigation 
I...

‘BLACK SHEEP DRAWBACK’

Discouraged, anxious and unsure—pitch black tarmacs start their war
Petrified, panicked and distressed—uncertainty cracks amidst unwelcomed guests
Dissociated and desensitised a perfect attack—as nervous disposition follows predictable tracks
Another prestigious black tie event—suites and shoes will seldom boycott consents

Perfected flair keeping companies in the black—elegantly formal...

God's anointed are chosen to stand against 
the children of darkness; those devoid of light.  

They become the prey, none-the-less, they 
choose to stay. 

Surrounded by the enemy day and night; 
stuck in the lions den; no help in sight.

Lions, tigers, wolves and bears;...

Words forbidden to be expressed
A dangerous fact to be disclosed
Making the whole world depressed
I am sorry that you are so obsessed
With the words never to be expressed
The words are secretly decomposed
Scattered around after being recomposed
Spread like bean paste after being compressed
Taste like sweet chilli that’s...

holding onto the fears of our fathers
and to some new forms of paranoia
the wind easily scatters us like feathers
you wouldn’t think we’re the descends of Noah

the mind is divorced from the heart
so desensitised we don’t even cry anymore
the mind is a misguided backhand slap
takes pleasure...

Your presence is like a thin fabric
That I wear here and now with comfort
Unveiled through each breath I take 

My eyesight like a pair of scissors,
Slices through with each blink you mirror
An ordinary day becomes a day in the life

Through the ripples of your touch
I...

News Time
Upon waking I checked the online news. And was shocked to see a plane crashing. The photo showed it clipping a motorway bridge. It looked like a whale about to die. The cart wheeling crash ended in the sea. Survivors struggled from the wreckage...

An image portrayed by my mirror,

not projecting the correct colour,
 
negatives disregarding this persons
 
experience, reflecting
 
inevitable cold reality of 
 
demise,
 
no more pastels or amber reds,
 
just blurred silver grey, 
 
past events reflected in wrinkles,
 
baggage of life under sad eyes,
 
desensitised...

Moving on is what they all want to do,
But the victims can't because they are too traumatised,
Or their bodies too damaged,
Maybe even worse, with all contact in this world severed.

The parents of both victim and perpetrator too desensitised,
With too many questions unanswered, 
And lack of...

There’s so much suffering I never want to see
So much profanity I don’t ever want to hear
Desensitised to never want to care
Hypnotised to ever need to worry

There’s so much pain I never want to feel
But self-righteousness makes me want to kill
So much turmoil that I...

lost in my own world
confused with whats real
identifying my own self
in a wishing well hoping my inner reality

where do i go at night
to calm down

where am i dreaming

what is that other realm
the place where i am in other places
other places doing other things

making bongos for...

I walk in the shadow
 I shore up my doubt, behind a loosely bound hope 
Which in turn is propped up without foundation
Cynical of a life, at the mercy of luck
Collateral damage feeds my reservation 

I shore up tomorrow with what I see today 
Without...

You can’t avoid it, it’s all over the news.
Every clip and video, millions of views.
Varying opinions, not all of them healthy.
Is all this attention because they were so wealthy?

Some people say it serves them right, others post a meme.
These situations aren’t as simple as they...

My mouth always late to stop 
speaking thoughts outside the box 
direct and true words causing shock 
saying things the rest do not 

singled out too many times 
meaning the impact declines 
embarrassment this implies 
in me is now desensitised 

cus when it happens everyday...

(Perhaps the desire to find Nirvana has become tainted?  A worm of a man has done this to me; has burrowed into the fruit of my dreams.)


We who wield the mighty sword
leaded and sharpened neat and straight
search vainly for hearty tales
where Eros or God...
