Best Disfunctional Poems


Premium Member Brothers and Sisters of Eden

A world changes course 
expelling the good grim reaper 
twisted joke 
entering this forbidden zone 
called democracy 

Careless acts of violence black and white
mothers burying their children 
so much tears soak the very grounds 
salt of this earth 
where moral order breaks down 
in societies failure 

A bad replacement shapeshifting demons rule
Where no longer they care about peoples suffering 
removing God's teachings from schools 
so our forefathers died in vain blood of our ancestors 

Taking away human rights 
amnesty international laugh a minute
lawless democracies without proper vision 
killing without just cause tyrants bragging ill will
Without facing the justice of all lands 

Murder is murder so says the judge above all 
stealing is robbing without deeds aquired 
laid down by the Lord on stone himself 

We all know its the devil's playground now
Darkness of your souls reek with many lies told 
When fancy coated words fall out vomit 
from the mouths who ware suits 
As that is a trademark 
of the biggest robbers there is 

Stealing even by stealth or forced to ground 
poisionous morals killing the seed of truth 
sewn from the garden of lust dark or light

Open your eyes blind beggars of hell 
disfunctional greedy merchants and war criminals 
alike you all sign a pact together like wolves 
we see the suffering and torment of your weapons 
tipped with poison blaming everyone but yourselves

Creating hate through your neverending violence 
amongst the innocent victims raped of everything 
God be merciful unto your rotten souls

Damning the victims with your pride filled agendas 
we all become victims if we sit without a voice listen pride 
Peace is the way forward that looks above and beyond
stand down dark spirits  your lust knows no bounds 
drunken with greed 

Light of our saviour will come 
one day supreme commander 
I will kneel to the creator 

When this earth goes into darkness again 
we need to pray for salvation 
no longer do we walk 
but stumble in the pathway 
of his loving ways 

Rock of faith we stand strong 
for our childrens sake 
to give them a future generation 

Mercy shake hands 
make Eden beautiful again
The signs are coming to pass
to celebrate the happiness and joy 
Heaven above the angels will sing

Premium Member Radio

"Radio"
Snippets of classic jingles ring diabolically in our brain
Converging good tunes for bad products
Their repetitive nature send shoots rattling and ringing
Over and over again, gee, have a little music with you commercials!

Morning shows ruled by the man/child 
With bleeps and buzzers assisted by stupid honks
The horns that we hear on the road are secondary to this drivel
All good things must come to an end, but the bad things seem to live forever

Prattle comes to propose what they got is better
While their mothers actually cringe from embarrassment 
Sensationalism is at its best as we hear it with frequency
Why can't they shut their damn clap traps!

Sipping our coffee, listening to the latest and greatest  
Please hit me upside the head, yes, that's what I said 
As DJ's can't play it enough, they are broken records 
Or Disfunctional Jerks  

The AM propagandists scrabble for words as well
Floundering for babble their mouths never go static
 It's shameful to hear such political trash, too often recycled
Influential to the old folks who want to vote every day
I thought in many years of past, the radio was supposed to be harmonious
Giving choice singers the chance to put out euphonies
And pieces of dreamy pleasures in classical, operatic and such
Pianos in pianissimo, to revel in the somnorific sweets of Chopin

All I here nowadays is a bell
The one that tolls for them to stop
Because chatter and blather rule the air waves
I turn the radio off

The Crowd

The curfew of the liver - long gone.
The crowd - drunk, delusional, blank.
We were driving, standing still or worse -
both at the same time.
Howl time, bone time, penetration time
ticking slowly in shadows' breaths.
The war will never be over and
we finally get it.
A soul transplant,
an euthanasia of disfunctional dreams.
Do you still hear the crowd?
These mechanic voices of your mothers.
They whisper:
Shoot.

Family Meeting

The dreaded day of the family meeting arrived
Elder planning, liquidating assets and dispersing 84 years of belongings

Excuses, postponing, manipulations, whining and reasonings--
Valid each and present

Partners in crime, codependent family structure with high disfunctional
communicaton skills, L-O-V-E spelled out many times like the sword of truth
and breastplate of righteousness. 

Words were pitched and hurled then stroked like a fine persian cat with silken fur.
At the end of the day, with the word pile left in the floor like discarded dung; I 
tucked my tail and departed. I hope against all odds that tomorrow will be a better 
day and the grim reality of lost freedom will be swallowed with honey and accepted. 
Instead of preparing for battle with gloves and sword. Until the stretched car takes 
you away, be peaceful my love, L-O-V-E, spelled with emphasis on the OH OH.
My freedom is going quickly, along with my parents freedoms to chose and plan, 

I will become responsible to see they get a bath, meals, medical care and to the 

store. Will I have time for me?

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my words to sweep
Away from the bitter heep
I pray the lord my heart to keep!

The Queens Bed

The Queens Bed 

There's a certain symmetry in mis-shapes 
A Correlation of zig zags
A pyramid of Mish mashery 
Of Golden haberdashery 

A prism geometry forgot 
Disfunctional patterns
Of a Diamanté Zodiac
A Tessellating Mosaic

A crazy jigsaw of zany gems
Adorned the Queens four poster bed
A Crystalised Diadem 
The perfect fit for her head

Devil-Oris

It’s easy for you to tell me about me
You can take a magnifying glass and see problems I don’t see
Within a breath you can summarize my life
You can tell me when I went left and I should have went right
Can you tell me about the times I couldn’t sleep at night?
Can you tell me about when I was being carried down the stairs that night?
Surely you can tell me how I woke up to my father hitting my mother in the head in the shower?
Do you know the date, time or hour?
I’m positive that you remember when my father attempted to ruin my 20th birthday so he wouldn’t have to give me a gift? 
Or when he was by my house with his new girlfriend when my sister was in and out of consciousness 
Surely you can explain why he took us to Daytona and only fed us peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or beefaroni for a month
While we watched his girlfriend eat Wendy’s every day after work.
Or how he allowed another girlfriend to bully me over my belongings and my mother was my saving grace
If I was so cautious I would think that you weren’t aware of your actions 
But you took the umbilical cord off my sister as an infant
You won’t even let your first great-grandchild be in your residence 
You refuse to realize that you failed as a mother
You watered a seed in the concrete of a home lacking motherly love
You are so evil and twisted you never taught him how to love a woman
Let alone be an upright man and a husband
You taught him to be afraid of responsibility from the beginning
You taught him to hide like a coward when it doesn’t fit his interests
You took one of God’s creations and ripped the spine from the man
He follows you because without his devilish crutch he cannot stand 
You walk around with your head above everyone else 
Like no one deserves your presence as if it was a blessing
I pray that in death you will see your funeral
I pray you see the people who are happy that you are no more
I pray every evil thing that you’ve done haunts you on your death bed
I pray they take the form of the people you’ve hurt
You are NOT my grandmother.
You ma’am are lower than dirt.

Blame Game

Even when people intentionally do,
I will look at it as God working through,
You take me, Lord, where you want me to be,
Having faith through circumstances for my eyes to see,
We can blame society over and over again,
For all the disfunctional things we can't understand,
We can pick and prod and point fingers all day,
We can push the blame and say they caused all our pain,
But here is the truth underneath all that disfunction,
Is that God will use anything for our hearts reconstruction,
the road blocks are merely a sign to slow down,
a construction of our reflection to what we have found,
of how to be, and how not to be,
teaching us all constantly,
when we forget, these are reminders,
it is Gods way of removing our blinders,
sometimes this must happen over and over,
to practice our hearts and keep us in motion,
in a society were we so easily forget,
when distractions detour us, he reminds us again,
pulling our hearts back to him to see how were being,
revealing his love through his eyes we are seeing.

Pepsi As a Drug

They start you out with sips 
and then they move to quarter cups 
starting when you're little 
but then it's never enough 
pepsi as a drug. 

All through your childhood 
inching to the top of the cup 
and when it finally gets there 
you've switched; a glass to now fill up. 
pepsi as a drug. 

And from that glass a can; 
a can of your very own 
but still you eye that 20 ounce 
to have the cap as your very own. 
pepsi as a drug. 

Soon a dependency forms 
you need it to stay awake 
you're chugging two liters three times a day 
to end your parent's mistake. 
pepsi as a drug. 

You end up old and diabetic 
disfunctional kidneys and liver 
but still you love your pepsi 
soon your body wont handle all that you deliver. 
pepsi as a drug.

Cope

Your sitting all alone waiting for your heart to  
break.
Through trials and tribulations one seeks the power of
the most high cause one doesn't know how much more
one can take.
Alone in a dark hole, 
disclosing all of your unforgetable woes.
Asking the question, Is this the life i chose? who knows.
For as the the outline of water, falls down off your
face, 
You feel the core of empty space that hit's you hard and
raw in that loving place.
Pain, 
Strain, 
and no emotional gain play's at it's own 
symbolic beat
Pressures of hidden treasures measures the timeline
in victory of it's own defeat
Turning pages of different rages only compounds into
disfunctional stages.
Seeing the shadows off reflection in the mirror looking
for hope, 
Not wanting to see the true face, 
When your trying to cope.

Words I'D Rather Not Hear Anymore!!

I guess Im an old geezer, to me amazed by the first pocket calculator, but there 
are a few words or phrases that I cannot stomach.  They make me crazy (Like I 
ain't crazy enough already)  Anyway here they are;

Hi! I'm Billy Mays!!  (blood pressure surges, fists are clenched, and words I'd 
never say pour out of me)
Quality Time (get real!)
Bonding (you got the glue?)
Dot com (dot com this.....)
Blog...(is that english or a plumbing term?)
Politically incorrect (that's what God put politicians on earth to be; thieves......
Sensitivity(lost your sense of touch?)
Credit worthy (or, how much can we rip you off for?)
Soulmate (is that for blacks only?)
Liberators (invaders)
Military Intelligence (what an oxymoron)
New Jersey (don't seem so new to me- ever smell Elizabeth N.J.?)
Preemptive strike (invasion)
Male enhancer (what slimy level have we reached?)
Martial arts (paintings from Mars?)
Virgin Mother (no comment!)
Disfunctional ( what function are they 'dis'en?)
Moral standards (a bunch of bull shooters)
Erectial misfunctions (proves the law of gravity, anyway!)
Out of the Loop (where? In Chicago?- did I miss a stitch?)
Salt of the earth (so where's the pepper?)

I'll probably come up with more, and miss another night's sleep; but, oh, what the 
heck!   Chow

Suzie and Mikey

They are sister and brother,
Yet not quite the norm,
Suzie wants her doll, 
And she'll keep ranting
 long and loud,   
Sometimes flying off the track,
Violence can erupt,
No way tp figure out, how and when,
She's a terror to handle,
This autistic child,
Seems only Rosie can do that,
the woman I love..
Tender words she does use.
Only my Rosie can calm her,
This poor lost troubled child,

Then there's Mikey,
Perhaps more peacful is he,
Just rocking back and forth,
Rocking so endlessly....
Maybe he's happy, in his own world,
At other times he can become more active,
And then the pain shows for all to see.

There are many others, in this clan, so seemingly cursed,
Deep, dark secrets of childhood sexual abuse,
By peripherial relatives dealing with their own phsychotic demons,

And, as almost always the case, Mama doesn't want to hear it,
The abusers Masquaraides too clever,
And all the others, all effected, insane brother,
Oft in jail,
troubled,pill dependent sister...
Another sister expecting to be poisoned daily,
So many people molded in pain, and in a disfunctional confusion.
The one Pillar of Strength is my Rosie...
From the sad day of her mother's death,
She has to ruled this insane mess.
As close to a "Mother Teresa'
That we'll ever see.

Malcolm In the Middle

(Based on the TV show.)

This was a show about Malcolm who's a genius teen.
He had four brothers, a dad and a mom who's mean.
The parents were constantly angry at Reese.
He was a thug who didn't give them a minutes peace.
Francis was sent to military school just because he pierced his nose.
A lot of people laugh when they watch those shows.
Dewey and Jamie were the two youngest boys.
Watching this disfunctional family brings people lots of joy.
Malcolm worked at a grocery store and his mom did too.
He got his ___ kicked by a man on stilts, that was humiliating to go through.
I've spent many hours laughing at these people who are funny.
They had to star as messed up kids but at least they have money.

Premium Member Words that wound

Sticks and stones may break bones,
but words can wound much deeper
words from someone you love
can cut deeper than any others
words like toxic and disfunctional
can cut as painfully as razor wire
However, love is special, in that
it can also heal those wounds that
are inflicted, if forgiveness is sought
but until then, the wound will fester
if you let it, but I choose to treat it
with the healing salve of a mother's love
and bind it tight with love and understanding

Disfunctional Happy Home

I feel like a freak of nature,
An odd-ball of the rarest sort,
Because I had a happy childhood,
And it seems somehow I am caught...
I've grown up naive, trusting, and other
bizarre things,
I have no frame of reference
for the misery life often brings...
This has become a bit of a dilemma
Cause I am set apart,
From the street wise horrors
And their breakings of the heart,

Oh, I would learn quite quickly,
Later on in life,
Just how the world is sickly,
Thanks to an abusive wife...

And my cherished family memories
Are what helps me to hang on,
And those friends of mine,
Who somehow are not gone...

So if you suffered from
a miserable childhood,
And I do not belittle it's effect,
There might be one tiny
bit of solace,
You were forged tough
In furnaces of hell,
And can carry on in life,
Better than I could ever tell.

Quiz Comments and Extra Clues

On No. 9; "Lunatics get their kicks"

On No. 7; "Some would like to tie all the loose ends together"

On No.5; "Posieden" might be another moniker for a component clue.  Bonus 
clue; "Older persons might have an advantage"

And a comment to Sharon, re., her comments on "Disfunctional Happy Home".
Shar, you are 100% right.  It was a foolish statement.  If not a thing ever goes 
right for me for the rest of my life, my happy childhood has nevertheless made
my life a major plus.  I am ashamed of being so thoughtless.  I only but wish all 
children could have the same strong foundation that my parents gave me.
Thanks for the "wake-up call".  You are the best....NOW go Off and Solve Some 
QUIZZES< YOU SILLY GOOSE!!!
