Best Dispirit Poems

The working navvy did dig deep 
He followed Brindly’s new laid plan
A transport system to complete
A salvation for the labouring man 

As the furrow cut with sweat and maul
With breaking backs and torn sinew
Each man in turn to heave and haul 
Sustenance for starving kin...

My sisters! My brothers!

Do you despise us this much?

Do you really think we deserve all this?

Well, if that's the case then, my brother,

 

I suppose you think so highly of yourself

To even spat those kinds of remarks,

knowing that your brothers are suffering, starving,

and in constant...

If roses are red
then violets are blue.
If you were as dumb as me
you'd have voted for Trump too.

This election just past,
I never wanted to sin
but I'm so tired of Losing wars
when Earth's climate needs to Win.

I needed to act
not just say what we say
a little...

Festering corpse of thoughts
.            Fuelling resentment
.            Fulminates as rage or
             Fumes...

In the crisp dawn
I meet her gaze
I see the loneliness there
Insidious and unforgiving

I love
She knows
But the world still grinds a space between
My own sick mind fuels her despair and I wonder if I am man enough to save her life

The memory of a blade on...

THE FLYING SCOTSMAN

In the suburbs of Scotland, a star was shone,
The humblest being the nature’s child,
Dared to dream the strangest dreams,
Sailing the ship through the wildest storms!

The determined will, the hurdles though aplenty,
The childhood seemed as an ordeal, an everyday battle that he fought,
The little...

These clouds above my head
Thick, dark, yet weightless
Daily reminders and warnings
that we should always be prepared for the worst
Clouds
You act as an umbrella over the Earth
Shading us from deadly rays
Yet you pour on and dispirit me
 The Sun resigns for a while
and clouds take its...

And the rain was falling into water deep,
All dispirit harbor left the deluge caught,
Broken – hearted feelings that people tried to keep,
All the tears they’ve shared,
Seeing off the boat…
Useless living is worse than a sin,
Tries to fix it with a faraway travel,
Foolish people built up...

GOD'S Spirit from the CHRIST. 
Saved over TWO-THOUSAND years ago by the JESUS man 
Who died for me at Calvary. Sober by the act of GOD...

Brown marmorated stink bug
    
Two days of doing battle with this invading army.
Two days searching out to find where is their hidden lair.
Two days capturing dozens upon dozens of these onerous soldiers.
Two days the battles raged on behind and on the front...

I stand at the gate looking outward,
o'er its spires of gilded gloss
of silent hinge that never wither
to the ravages of time.

Long have I found haven 
on this side of the gate, 
even as unkind gods 
decide brutal fates beyond its hasp.

Long have I forgotten
of beyond...

As we gather here today we pray for safety 
please pull out your net Lord and gather us in 
We ask for you to strengthen our immunity 
and help us to believe, no matter how hard it has been  
We ask that our souls...

Eye remembered Juan Valdez 
The price of coffee has inflated along with all the rest of beans and things. 
There is a place called Starbucks and that is how many ewe should have of the 
things 
the dollars not the things oh ewe (long pause)...
