Best Evicting Poems
Breaking Bad
Criminals
dance with slum lords
they shed fake tears
victims they shout
from Ivory towers
Mock and attack
they of dark cloth and deceit
possesses no real God
they whoreship only their prey
living by night not day
Some even screech praise untowards
sick is the mind who follows
dead morals and upended graves
they really are the bully's slaves
Yet their churches pew is full
Criminals all
singing love songs
sewing fear and anger
no wonder God got fed up
evicting them one and all
I’m giving you two weeks’ notice
And then I’m evicting you
From my heart
You haven’t been paying your dues…
Lingering caresses
Entwining embraces
Passion laden kisses
And loving whispers
Are overdue
LONG overdue
What’s worse…
You’ve been trashing the premises
With your careless words
dirty excuses
filthy put-downs...
Your childish tantrums
And misplaced anger
Have littered my heart
You have been bringing in
Uninvited guests
To share the night
Thinking I was unaware
Of the trysts
But this place is meant for you
YOU
Alone
There has been too much
Way too much
Wear and tear
And so I declare
You are being evicted
Pack up your things
And find another
Heart
to live in!
I need some time
To set things right
To make repairs...
The love paint needs to dry
The dream frames need to be hung
The soiled sheets need to be purified
I need to sew new curtains of hope
And wash away the grime from the
windows of my heart
Before I can even consider
Taking in a new resident.
Two weeks…..
Just enough time
For you to pay for damages
And then to leave
Peacefully...
Before I have you thrown out
of this heart of mine!
Keep well away from dark, forbidding dreams --
Instead, stay near the hearth and play your lyre;
Sleep even so will wait on wooden beams,
Seducing you beside your cozy fire.
Meticulous and careful you may be,
Evicting darting shadows with the blaze --
Inside your quiet cottage, patiently,
Night's emissary holds you in her gaze.
The cuckoo calls as midnight church-bells chime;
His warning message echoes from the walls --
Enchanted ears have lost all track of time,
So far from whispered fears as silence falls.
Her chilling hands then rip away your voice,
And images assail your inner eyes --
Denying you the act of conscious choice,
On captive lips she mixes truth and lies.
When sunlight climbs the sky and breaks her spell,
She blows a darkened kiss, and bids farewell.
When passion fails, love remains
Hills flattened and thus will your obstacles
Even if it seems impossible
No one can withstand possibilities
Day after day try not to lose hope
Abilities pops up like mushrooms
Yielding to negativity isn't going to help
Sooner you need to change your mind set
A day sets with new possibilities
Right now it's time to wake up and-
Erase the past that holds you back
Digging down my soul revealed a truth
Ambiguous visions translate to nothing
Rivalries suppresses innovative minds
Killing negativity gives birth to success
Finding your passion and dwell on it
Releases zest that keep's hustling alive
Intimidated by success is lethal
Erecting a tower with positivity is the foundation
Neither the storm of disappointments can win
Demolished goals can be rebuild again
Surrendering taking up a mission is cowardice
Active mind ignite uncontainable victory
Realization of a dream starts with one step
Endeavour to take a step forward each day
Fulfillment doesn’t limit industrious men’s vigor
Evicting indolent thoughts he does best
While they rest, i keep busy because I can rescue me!
Chaotic disarray no doubt,
Lost things never found,
Understanding things must change,
Time is wasted searching 'round.
Take control and organize,
Everything must have its place.
Remove the unessential junk,
Freeing up much needed space.
Regroup, remove, refine, refresh,
Eventually you'll have success,
Evicting all your cluttered mess.

(Now if I'd only follow my own instructions!)
Wasted landscapes without proper tenureship
Evicting the true owners from their habitats
Tensions between the economic and survival
Leached sands, eroded banks of stewardship
Artificial substitutions and the phobia of bats
Nature besieged by ignorance and the political
Denude of forests, wetlands, and pollute the seas
So producers and consumers are soon decease.
Nature welcomed Man into her mansion and he started evicting the old tenants!*

Someday soon I'll run out,
Of all my "give it one more tries".
Someday soon I won't believe,
In all your pretty little lies.
Someday soon this love for you,
Like a flower will wilt and die.
Someday soon I'll break these chains,
And leave you here to cry.
I've cried myself to sleep it seems,
Like a 100 thousand years.
I could easily fill the Atlantic Ocean,
With all my undried tears.
Did you really not see,
The pain you were inflicting?
My soul is now completely broke,
So your hurt I am evicting.
You made me believe without a doubt,
In all your broken dreams.
But I have yet to see you fulfill
Any of your lousy schemes.
I stood up for you and had your back,
When everyone turned away.
But now my love is fading fast,
Don't know what else is left to say.
I know you must've meant well,
But now you've completely changed.
I have to go and leave you here,
Now that my priorities rearranged.
Please don't you worry about me,
I will make it out just fine.
You can't have what's left of me,
God said, " Nope! She's all mine!"
Someday soon My God will heal,
Every single broken piece.
He will refill my faith in love,
So my heart will find relief.
I'm still praying for you daily,
Cause that's what I'm lead to do.
Forgiveness & a Greyhound bus,
Will move me far away from you.
Man is evicting us from our home the cry of the wilderness
endangering the very life cycle of nature itself
Look us in the eyes and clearly see the heart's you starve
money before profit is all you care about in this plantation
Human development has become this self serving mass suicide
where green house gasses is ripping down these forests
and certain boundaries are crossed on more ways than one
We need to rescue God's animals from doom
legal protections need to be put in place
as this is worse than the flood destroying what Noah saved
Those self serving in charge are destructive in every shape and form to be explained
we will need to urgently raise awareness about their plight.
hope has become a challenged word so to speak shepherded on this subject
The smart thing to do is save our planet
To Bear Witness
To bear witness … and awaken the world … he’ll rise:
Helpless to halt routine horrors he’s seeing,
A scared, adolescent boy of slender size,
Nabbed and dehumanized solely for “being”,
Keeps records of the cruelty his captors devise.
Yesterday once stayed his tenacious tenant of time,
Occupying today in recurrent roles of reprise,
Until death voided its lease, evicting crisis from crime.
Exiled to sight and sound, languages always languish:
Lone words, limited mediums too dull and shallow,
Impaired all the expressions of their author’s anguish,
Except to press, “What shall humanity hold hallow?”
Woven together, his words threaded truths for which he fought,
Iterating a haunting testimony of torment.
Emancipated prose, sprung from his mind’s prison distraught,
Sew our human bond on basted seams of past and present:
Empathy must be a measure of our moral fitness
Lest we lose lessons taught by he who lived … to bear witness!
E. V. Wyler
The essence of wit is brevity
which interestingly evinces chivalry
delivered verdict to hex hoar size
(once and for all) president
dons mantle of deviltry
and trumps constitutional credo
defining American elementary
particular edicts denoting, enshrining,
framing, grand honorable inalienable rights
when foolhardy lobbyists prevail
evicting execrable“enemy”
i.e. forward thinking (progressively liberal)
which subsequently might help
timid citizens to invoke probate, procure, produce cojones
in opposition against rabidly power hungry,
misogynistic courting among the body politik
fostering future feverish fortuity,
toward risking life and limb sans
Uncle Sam selfless gratuity
(especially as Benjamin Button syndrome –
reverses aging process
acquired thru heredity
gets in full swing) stamping mindset
nonestablishmentarian identity
with my Kosher blessing despite any infamy
permission to go ahead with jocularity
from a superstar coach named Kennedy
thereby garnering homespun liberty
where icon bank on direct
laudable, linkedin longevity
with unrolled Scottish grandeur
(Pomp and Circumstance broadcast)
synchronized with precise
unrolled welcome mat
yule receive granted “FAKE” feted soiree
as curtain call doth close toward
final decade of mortality
yet dismiss bing hash-tagged
a scofflaw at any opportunity
especially if legislated mandate
earmarked as priority
in tandem with the key quality
apothegm stipulates decrease sing sanity
as the hands of father time
spin (Doktor Dude Little) backward
away from present day turbidity
increasing revanchism uber victory.
(So Beat It)
How many times must I forgive you
Before
You meant just what you said
How often must I play these games
Until
We're forced to forfeit at the hands
Of your disease
You're so busy crying wolf that you've
Forgotten you're red-handed
The
Scene of the crime laced by the scars that
You have made, your words
Born
From the poison that an absent mother brings
I've spent my life keeping your secret
Could
You tell me why I should?
Give me one good reason to protect the
Twisted
Logic that's become fail proof
Hogwash is your calling card, bipolar is
Your
Excuse for when you drop from
My life completely, without a single sound
There,
I said it: you're insane, and I'll
Venture far enough to say that now it's all
Your fault
You had the chance to dig yourself
Out, and now that it's too late, you're dragging
All
Of us down
Yes, I'll admit that you're a burden
But
I still don't want you dead
Since you've officially denied to be my
Mom
I want you gone instead, as
You've for years intended. For once, I
Wish
It wasn't all about you. I'm
Caring about me for a start, not that you
Could tell
Oh, you've missed your cue?
Well I'll give you a hint: this is the part where
You act like the adult, so I
Can be a kid again
I'm evicting you and all your secrets out
The
Front door of my mind, and onto
The corner of the real world that you can't
Seem
To find. I've been your helpless hostage
Just one too many times. You were once violent,
Always
Cruel, and never the mom I'd be
Ashamed to leave behind
I guess this is ta-ta for now, so don’t let your ego
Hit you in the rear on your
Way out
I awoke in horror
as I was under anesthetic
and meant to be unconscious.
I was a whirling floating spirit
flying over my own body.
I was in shock as I realized I was the surgeon
with scalpel and retractor in hand,
about to introspect and dissect
the faults and problems within my own inner self.
First, I spied the benign pile of regrets,
in the form of gall stones in the spleen and gall duct.
One wave of the zapper smashed my lingering regrets to sand.
Now they could no longer block my way of evicting
spleen and bile which clogged my life.
Secondly, I spied the grudges forming cataracts on the eyes.
My vision on crutches, clouded by grudges left unresolved.
Baring those grudges I had borne for so long
allowed me to forgive and forget their origin.
There is no point in letting old grudges cloud your vision.
Thirdly, I spied how unkempt and disheveled I looked.
My self-esteem needed a steam clean and shake up.
It was time I started looking after myself properly.
I got to work with a make-over to make
my self-image the best that it could be.
Hair cut, new clothes, new posture and gait
Topped off with a sunny smiling disposition
and joie de vivre glow and aura.
With that my introspection and dissection was complete.
Having played hard all day, the dusk now sets in,
A time to re-join with her kith and her kin.
But today she will not be afforded that lot,
For the souls she now dwells with, her family are not.
Skipping through town she finds her delight,
In the form of a window, and a lamp glowing bright.
For a moment the emptiness dons a disguise,
As the warmth it emits, brings light to her eyes.
A light that dispells all the pain and the fear,
And speaks to her heart the words "Love must live here".
Igniting her spirit, evicting the dark,
She's drawn to the glow as a moth to a spark,
A friend most familiar, a lighthouse in part,
Soft beacon of safety, offering peace to her heart.
Is she pined for by those she so yearns for today?
Are their hearts still connected though an ocean away?
The swift years have flown by, two score have now seared,
The dream of the little one since first it appeared.
That an ember of light take it's place in her life,
And drive out the rejection, the fear, and the strife.
She finds herself hopelessly, aimlessly bound,
To a life with no future, a voice with no sound.
Dark closes in on the warm light of day,
The light that once held their rejection at bay.
Having mourned her whole life, for the life she once knew,
Mending pieces of brokeness, to just get her through,
Believing acceptance she one day could own,
Hope now extinguished she yearns to go home.
YLE
CRISIS stands in front of MINDS door knocking.
Breaking and entering because SOLUTION isn’t answering.
Needing a confrontation- IT escalates itself until UNBEARABLE appears.
Metamorphosing into DISRUPTIVE on all unfazed channels.
Picking a fight with LIVELIHOOD and COMFORTABLE.
Training SICKNESS in how to tease HEALTH on a consistent basis.
Making EMOTIONS confused and unstable.
Causing DISORDER to jump in and dictate.
Overwhelming MARRIAGE, so that TEMPTATION can walk down the isle
with DIVORCE on it’s arm.
Giving PREGNANCY time to stealth its way onto the scene.
Notifying COMPLICATION for its upcoming appointment.
ABORTION becomes the honoree in discussion.
Smiling for being chosen, TAKING A LIFE is upbeat and perky.
SADNESS is fighting back tears of joy, because HAPPINESS is missing.
The meeting is heightened when POVERTY shows up.
Uh oh! WORRY is approaching with cousin STRESS.
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, sends a help signal to PRAYER.
ANSWERED comes to the rescue,
Evicting CRISIS from MINDS place.
