Best Eat Humble Pie Poems

No matter how some complain and bellow
they are exposed, each a trolling fellow
I'd look them in the eye
for telling one more lie
but I heard they're too busy eating crow

Some poets take Soup contests so seriously
If they lose they respond so injuriously

We’re here to have fun; isn’t that really the point?
And a czar of ALL contests, we just won’t anoint

We win and we lose but grow tired of the whining
The stress, grief and tension...

Our commander in chief
will soon leave office what a relief
for he has occasion and a reason 
to engulf a gulf into war
from the Persian gulf to Capsian sea
our leader to his guilt will cop a plea
for the crime he has committed 
and the perfect punishment...

You're not a coward
having shown a great lack of intelligence
or common sense within arrogance towards another opinion

For that which matters deeply disturbed blocked out
hard hitting truth in evidence reads between the lines,
Micky mouse can clearly see the victim trapped
pushing false agendas that promote hate

Inside the...

The Elitists in Government are dragging their feet,
while "the people" eat humble pie and sweat,
wondering how far their lives will plunge into
the unknown depths of chaos and debt,
They wine, dine and schmooze on the
Hill of no thrills,

In the meantime, people are losing their homes,
Dropping dead...

Ok keep below the radar, stay out of sight,
Bury your head in the sand, do not incite,
Why get involved, it’s not your fight,
Zip up your mouth, should be alright.

Rise above them, turn the other cheek,
Play It real cool, no trouble you seek,
Come on dad, they’ll...

Life experience can only be gained,
When one owns their mistakes,
When one owns their successes,
When one owns their failures,
When one owns their responsibilities,
When one owns their limits,
When one owns their right to eat humble pie.

Own these things and you will find a rich vein of life,

Sometimes there is sorrow,
Behind a smile.
    Sometimes the one you love,
, cramps your style.

Behind hate.
   You should always, 
Pull your weight.

   You can hear the best,
In the dead of silence.

When it's dark outside in the middle of the day,
And still freezing in the middle of the month of may,

All pleasures in life are distant, no where near, but far,
The tests of life defining who you truly are.

When the promises of God you hold...

 Darling, I fear
you never liked me
for when I look at you in the mirror
I see the scars that
betrayed your body and the soul that never sermonized me
I shall not live in vain, so let me
eat humble pie ...

HUMBLE PIE

I like to eat desserts, it seems, like ice cream, donuts, cake;
The more delicious things I see, the more I want to take.
There’s candy, fudge, and brownies, too; they all will catch my eye,
But one dessert I hate to eat has been called “humble...
