Best Destroying Poems


Premium Member AI is Destroying The Written Word


                            I want to weep
             at the destruction of poetry
that comes now with the use of AI robots
and the fact that cheats are entering
                            contests on PS
and winning high placements over real poets
how sad is that only some sponsors care
      some just don't care
            and worst the odd person even supports it
                            I am not one of those
no AI poem will ever, never, ever place in my contest
            see, I do care, I check every single poem
      and guess what I know
                              who you are

                               this is my created
             form that I call fragmented spaces
no robot created it, I did, and several others too
because that is what real poets do, they create
                               my poems are 
written with my own blood, heart and soul
and I am so proud of that and my poetry
      how dare you AI users
            think you can compare with a real writer
                                because some sponsor
places your fake poem as a winner, I bet you laugh 
            that you fooled them into thinking you can write
      well, we the contest sponsers who care
                                are now checking for AI

Premium Member Destroying the Kid

DESTROYING the KID

It’s about time you came around.
I have waited long with my pants dropped down.
Did you say, “CHICKEN!" Mmm, I love chicken.
My favorite comes in white meat.
My fingers I'm still licking.
I read your slam it had no defeat.
My little Poet Destroyer friend, you called me.
I am not the one with the Kidster name.

You play this gambling game so well.
Like a convict, you will be the first to bail.
Giving you pleasure, making your slam sound so innocent.
You make the Kidster name band from hell.
Hitting you with a slam, that makes your tear drop like hail.
Stick to nice poetry, your slamming just got stale.
In the middle of your so call slam. 
I felt you tried so hard you broke a nail.

In the meantime, this is what I expect.
The freedom so you can speak nice to me.
Like Kid Rock, the real red neck.
You also cannot slam what you cannot see.
Do not destroy what can't be destroyed.
I am always one-step, on top of this deck.
Kidster you’re hot just got watered down to mild.
You have a short hand when it comes to a slam style.
Flip me over and yell, "This Jokers Wild!"
Kidster I lightly slam the cards you dealt me.

This Destroyer is going to slam you back.
Like a trip with tricks and treats.
A slam so hard you will not be able to stand on your feet
Come back when you are ready to get up off your knees
For you I'm rolling up my sleeves, I will not stop until you retreat.
What about my mama?
I thought we were on the same team.
You slam just like my grandma.
Wait! I take that back, she always slams my grandpa mean.
Hey Kidster do me a favor, put your head on a DONKEY.
Show every one there is two sides to you.

By the way, Kidster just with your name I can have fun.
I do hope they let you read this in day care.
I hope you were not expecting a nursery rhyme.
You know better we grownups do not play fair.
Hey, Kidster after this you may need to change your diaper!

              This has all been fun and games.
              Billy the Kidster if you are up for tag 2.
              I will come back as JESSE JAMES.
              Making you a fool..

Sexual Addictions Are Destroying Our Families

Sexual Addictions Are Destroying Our Families!
Many families are being destroyed by sexual addictions!
As they bring into their homes unneeded afflictions!

There are affairs of adultery of all different kinds…
As many allow sin’s pollution to destroy their mind!

Many have no comprehension or fail to see…
The filth of garbage being promoted on t.v.!

Rather than seeking God for his blood’s protection.
Husbands and wives look to others for affection.

God looks and sees the wounded and broken heart.
And before you know it, another family falls apart!

Too much of this is happening in churches today.
Will these families just come together and pray?

It’s time to come together as a family and be strong!
Let’s get rid of the things in our life that don’t belong!

Let’s seek the purity and holiness of God above.
And be strengthened by his majestic love!

Let’s seek God’s protection over our families too!
And speak kind words to another, like; “I LOVE YOU!”

May the love of Christ come and bind us as ONE!
And touch every father, mother, daughter and son!

Lord Jesus, we all need you so much!  This very hour!
We can’t make it alone!  Without your power!

Please Jesus, restore what the enemy has taken!
I’ve never seen your children left or forsaken!

You are the only one that our family has needed!
Only by your love, will our family be completed!

Premium Member Destroying the Fox Tail

Eyes furtive carry the reflected sheen of aluminium paint that is smooth a chrome flood
On the tin roof of the woodshed seen, with moonlight awash, awaking the dreaming scene.
The light has the tint of coyote’s hair; the furtive fox is rising to maraud with that
Peripheral stare, the balance tail is curving around a body still turning, his eyes red dots
Burn beside the russet and auburn fur, in the night full deep, guard dog in slumbering sleep,
With a stealthy gait the stooping steep steps you negotiate, around the mottled boulders
Grey you move or even! glide your way. The lightest breeze full on your face, with elegant
Tresses like a filigree trace, to soundless halt you poise your form upon the ledge with its
Girth two pace. Your.. goal in sight about to spring.! with visage grim, the huddled lambs
Sense... sudden..fear! They start to bleat hear querulous tones, the move was neat! Yet P D
Drops down on lightening feet, from her crop of rock with a body shock, she lands on him
With her forked tree limb, his neck is pinned, in her sundown boots she stands on his tail at
The very root, with feral fear his eyes a-glare, how now will the tale of the captured fox ensnared
Unfold? Don’t destroy the tail of this fox caught cold! She could train him as her reddy scout
He has a fine nose plus attuned senses that she alone caught out!.. or better still she could
Keep him well penned perhaps in documents contained, or back to herr schäffer send!


I have come out of retirement ha ha! for P D's inner animal contest .

Aids Anonymous Individual Destroying Society

I was said to have mingled with the masses,
moving mysteriously through the multitudes unexpectedly,
familiarizing myself with countless souls, still they
don't know who I am.

   Being destructive- that's me, ravaging- that's me,
causing havoc where ever I go is what I'm accused of,
still they don't  know who I am.

    I swept society away like a fierce wind devouring
everything in my path - women, men, children without
discrimination. I simply love how you point fingers
blaming each other, still you don't know who I am.    

      I've severely affected the growth of populations,
devastatingly infected people from every race,
creed, background on this planet, still they don't know
who I am. 

       Parties, experimental drugs & promiscuity are
a few of the things I indulge in, one night of careless
whispers & you won't forget me, still you don't know
who I am.

      Lurking like a rapist in the dark of the night,
violating, attacking with unrelentless vigor, leaving
behind a path of fear & confusion, still you don't know
who I am.

    And now without further adieu, coming to the stage -
I introduce. . . . . .    Death is the final curtain call,
welcome to the playhouse of AIDS.

Premium Member Destroying Paradise

We're losing our beloved horse pasture out back
Progress is destroying paradise, everything's out of whack
Soon the world will be paved over
Surely no more rolling in clover
Seems like us guys are about to run off the track

Destroying One Terror and Replacing It With Another

Not much to do today
caught up on some 
deferred reading
went to the store to pick up
 a few things
took a walk down 3rd Ave
 	to get some sun

Basima and Azhar 
play in the okra field
chasing each other screaming 
and laughing
jaddah watches 
from her soft garden chair
over a steamy afternoon 
in ancient Miranshah

Did some journal writing
heated some 
falafel and basmati
 for dinner
downloaded some old 
    Ahmad Jamal tunes
had some chips and hummus
and iced chamomile tea

a methodical buzzing
overhead
in the high blue sky
then two clicks
a sudden
earsplitting whistle
and sharp chunks
of scorched metal
   rip through 
the garden
tranquility bursting 
into a horror 
   of choking fire
and thick dark smoke

children freeze 
forced to see the bloody corpse
     of jaddah 
splayed in her chair 
blackened mutilated 
and smoldering

Read a bit
 of the newspaper
made some early 
bill payments
closed the light
    and laid
 down
thinking tomorrow
I must buy some milk

Latif a child 
up on the roof 
thrown 
to the ground
from the force 
   of the explosion
comes crashing
down  
cracking 
his skull	bleeding
crying 
and shrieking 
along with Basima 
and Azhar children
 of circumstance

of breaking news
   bulletins
never broadcast
of broken lives 
and unspoken deaths
whose numbers 
and names have
rarely been recorded 
or revealed 

living ghosts
left to shudder
mystified 
   and bereft	
more invisible
victims 
of the sacred
CIA slaughter 
machine

with scant
publicity or mention
in the Constitutional 
press – and for the sake
of the integrity
	of the program
	and the safety
of the nation 
and without
any prior knowledge
to deny or decide
   every American
is complicit
   every American
is taking aim 
and 
   pushing 
the button
for those 
good kills
striking at homes
in shattered
sand-filled lands
riddled with panic 
and hate and God
day after day 
and night
after
night

Sports Is Destroying the Air

A Swedish skier takes the plane 
to the other side of the earth
and spreads out the soot
for many athletes is sport more important
than clean air on the globe.

Denial Is Destroying You

There's split personality
But you take it to extremes
From one day to the next
You leave everyone perplexed
Never knowing how you'll bee
It its nice or really scary
Your mood swings are getting bad
One minute happy, the next mad
All your friends are begging you
To get help from what you do
You refuse, saying your fine
Being blind to every sign
That you haven't been O.K.
In denial you will stay
Never listening to those
Who have become very close
To this deadly situation
Out of hand, it is creatin'
A monster out of someone nice
Body and mind pay the price
Your addictions growing strong
Soon it wont be very long
Until this pleasure you enjoy
One day will start to employ
A day of wreckage and disaster
Drugs will soon become the master
Sucking you in really far
As you are raising the bar
Destroying your identity
Fading away so completely
Until there is just a shell
Of your former friendly self

Destroying the Path of Hate Before It's Too Late

Wouldn't it be really great
Turning everybody's hate
Into something good and fair
In our hearts to show we care
If all the power was reversed
Into good vibes from the worst
Then the world would turn into
A kinder place for me and you
Why hatred and prejudice
Live in people who exist
On this earth is quite a wonder
It just makes us all go under
 A big cloud of hurt and pain
I just feel so ashamed
How nothing has changed in years
To get past all of the fears
Some folks live with everyday
We all need to find a way
To stop this wrong right in its tracks
Moving forward, never back
So all people can be free
As were making history
Allowing peace in every spot
Of this land, it is a start
To stomp out the bitterness
Receive good will and gentle bliss
Learning to be compassionate
It would be a gracious fit
Easing the hearts of those wronged
If badness left, love came along

Human Greed

We, the human race
are destroying, our only place
by cutting down, our life filters
and becoming, the human killers

We build, with concrete jungles
causing us, to huddle in bubbles
while turning the sky, into a fry
with our smoke, that can only choke

We breed, like a petri-dish
and we kill, so many fish
while filtering poison, into our waterways
and allowing plastics, to enter our bays

We kill animals, to make medicine
as we don’t have, too much discipline
 and they say, we must have money
but it is money, taking us, down the dunny

We have science, to help us out
but we have many, who are cloned out
as we have leaders, with their own agenda
spreading fake news, for their propaganda
