Best Exterminated Poems


Killing Ants

Ants are known to be industrious,
Bustling about the anthill
In lines and arcs and freeform patterns,
Intent on some important insect mission,
Minding their own business, thank you.

Of course, sometimes ants have to be exterminated
If they’re likely to bite a small child,
Or interrupting the flow of one’s flower bed,
Or just plain in the way.

After all, they’re only bugs,
Small and inconsequential and expendable.

Occasionally, small rough and tumble boys,
Full of bravado and challenging each other,
Will desecrate an anthill recklessly
Just for sport…
And to see the ants run frantically
In response to the destruction of their entire world
At the whim of a dirty-sneakered foot.

They look so small from up above
Scurrying about like ants
Tiny and insignificant  from the height
Of a skyscraper, or a ski lift,
Or the windshield of a fighter pilot’s plane.
Tiny, and in the way
Because, as we all know,
Sometimes ants have to be exterminated.

Premium Member The Wolf

The wolf is the ancestor of domesticated dog.
(Did you think we found our pets in prehistoric catalogue?)
That fact should be enough to make us tolerate the wolf
And to forgive his killing everything with a horn or hoof.

They keep eco-system in check by taking share of the big game.
But ranchers hate the wolves for sometimes taking prey that's tame.
They communicate with each other with howls and growls and barks and whines.
They kill and eat and then when saturated, another creature dines.

A wolf is not a grain eater, a wolf must have his meat.
If he is not allowed to kill, he and his family do not eat.
They have been exterminated from the most of this USA.
There are still some in Canada, Alaska, and parts of Northwest today.

Wolves live in large areas  a contiguous habitat.
We're trying to reintroduce them and some folks do not like that.
Wolves keep big herds thinned and they take the old and lame.
Man shoots prize animals for the fun of it and calls his victims game.

No More

No more creativity deemed on 
the exercise of rotten faculty
Nor burning intelligence’s 
penalty
Nor repression sold as 
suppression
Nor dissemination of distortion 
I shall be content at dawn
To take my leave
Subjugation’s tyranny’s ambition
It’s combat? 
Humanity’s mission
Submission’s antithesis is 
faction
Behold as protest is deemed 
agitation
As justice refuses man’s 
gratitude
Take my head be-header 
For this truth you shall never 
erase 
For I am decapitated but not 
capitulated
Speak not of blood ties when 
you only bleed lies 
Repression is a passport to 
humanity’s extinction
I’m neither angel nor devil
Nor saintly nor evil
I am human  
Striving for what’s right
Enemies call me cold 
I belong in no shelf 
I put no labels to myself 
Save to say love is my way
When walls brought stuffy 
indoctrination
And repression funded mental 
assassination
Humanity created a blowing 
wind
I climb beyond the human 
heights
When I'm telling the truth 
Explosive in the extreme
I’m called subversive
When i’m only creative
They call me kinky
When i’m only inky
I raise an objection
And get a rejection
When the best brains become 
exterminated
And purity poison to 
contaminate 
For if the worst doesn’t come 
to the best the sun shall
rise in the west..


I Drunk the Sea

Glittering was the evening Sun’s face                                                                                                                          Glided down unto the level of my surface 

Wobbled were the waves of the ocean                                                                                                                         Rays reflected by the waves, for a reason

Water level was on the declining trend                                                                                                                    Enticing beauty of the scene was grand 

Decline of water was at a high pace                                                                                                            I could gaze the clear view of the space

Eventually exterminated was the sea,                                                                                                            In a short time you may take for a tea!

Sacredly sailing was the setting Sun                                                                                                          Though the whole drama indeed, is a fun, 

As the emptied water was packed in a bottle                                                                                               And as if I drunk the sea, in a magic battle!

Premium Member Jupiter Has Fallen

We stay in this underground fortress
will it be our salvation or our tomb
Can we survive the pending onslaught
is this a heroic suicide
that history will forget
the vanquished are damned to be erased from the pages of history

Three months earlier we knew
Jupiter had fallen, but how
She was as large as the moon
had impenetrable shields
She was our last hope
of our earth's race
We wait

Those who could fled, thousands so many thousands
those who can't wait, hundreds just hundreds
Can we be undetected
or do they know
Are we betrayed
No one is coming to save us
No one will ever return
to a planet scorched and burnt
by a power as strong as seven suns

A quiet unity combines a thousand souls
buried deep within the earth
A sonic boom shakes the earth
faceless souls tremble
They are here

Slowly I peel away from the masses
Up the steep slope I climb
I open the barrier seal door
and lift it up to reveal
an deserted earth desolated and empty
bone dry with the dust of ashes from once living things
I left up my arms and walk into the wind
embracing the spirit of my mother earth

Slowly I am joined one by one until the underground fortress
has empty of it's thousand, men, women, children
Old, young, healthy and infirm but living
We are alive, we are survivors
They passed us by, not worth their time
and pursued those who fled

Why would they worry about a planet deem dead
Why bother with a tiny blue sphere
insignificant, unwanted and thought exterminated
I place my arms down and smile relief
a steady breeze wisps away the ashes
green blades asunder are revealed
In the horizon a flash of lightning
a clasp of thunder, the sweet smell of cooling rain
People embrace, people cry
Jupiter has fallen, but we still stand
We won after all.

Farewell My Badger Friend

>I sent the following poem to my old employers.  The RSPCA A year ago as the Badger was being exterminated in certain areas.  Unfortunately, now it is in even more so I hope you do not mind if I share this poem with you.

FAREWELL MY BADGER FRIEND

All this land was ours once, oh so long ago.
Then man bought his cattle in, to share our pasture so.
Now they want to remove us, by killing us you see.
To try and eradicate the disease they call TB.
A nasty disease is TB of that there is no doubt.
But when I was here alone, there was none about.
So humans must have brought it, on a cow or two.
Now I’ve got to pay, for the mistakes you do.
So as you kill me and my friends, humanely I hope so.
I really hope it’s worth it, and that TB does go.
Be sad when you see my pasture where I did belong.
Bare of all the baggers who have all now gone.
Perhaps you will not kill us all, but I expect you will.
If not I hope I escape, I’ll really try I will.
But as you humans are so wise, or so they say you are.
Why don’t you vaccinate your cows, and leave us where we are.
You see I am TB free there is no harm in us.
And if you vaccinate your cows, they can live with us.

Spread the word my friends, if you do agree.
It’s better to save wildlife, than kill it off you see.
Well that is just the point, I really am so vexed.
For when the Badger's gone, who will be the next.


Please feel free to use the above poem as you wish, it’s too late for many Badgers but who knows if enough public support can be obtained perhaps the powers that be might reconsider their decision. It seems strange to me that so much interest can be shown of wild animals now extinct from bygone ages that here in the 21st Century  man is hell bent on destroying a species, the mind boggles.<


Ignored

We talked,
But I wasn't heard,
We walked,
But you scattered,
We built,
But you destroyed,
I thought,
But you acted,
We were determined,
But you exterminated...

You were blind,
I was sighted,
You were darkened,
I was lightened,
I was myself,
You weren't yourself...

I was lone,
No one cared.

I was ignored,
No one cared,
About my emotions...

Ranting From My Midnight Ghost

Yeah thats right  at
night your not hearing things
and its  not your imagination
And of course the landlord exterminated 
so it couldn't be mickey mouse.
Long before you moved in this was
my house! chump!
Yeah I moved things around when 
your sleep, I even make designs on the sheets
you know off the light of the moon
Because I'm an artist.
Your lucky I'm around here these days
you should give me praise instead of curse
your days.
I keep all the bad ones away
And oh yeah with your selfish self
We know about the sour cream chips 
with dip you got hidden in the case
under your bed too
And I want some, yeah homie I'm
talking to you!!
By the way who buys sour cream dip
with sour cream chips?  what are you
trying to get a more sour creamier experience?

My Flame

Two tonnes press on my heart,
To me a great load,
A weight that set the world apart
The weight fell and caused a spark and it glowed!

So now I am Different 
Completely Unique,
Free from Imprisonment 
Completely set free.

And with this heart set afire 
And the weight obliterated
Nothing to hard,or to dire
Because now my worries are exterminated!

But soon one day came a traveling breeze
And put out my brightened flame.
But I blew on it and Said "Please-
The more you try the more my heart stays the same!"

The Last American Jaguar

The message came to me as a cry from above,
The eagle cried and cried with the sounds of great mourning.
For it seems the last of the American jaguars has passed away.
While trying to rescue the magnificant creature.

This creature with spots so lovely has been exterminated with a final shove.
Now, this beautiful feline no longer will show it's face in each days dawning.
Goodbye, you wonderful creature, the eagle now has his goodbye say.
For we have just lost another of the woodland wonders we all so treasure.

Hollanditis

All started when Victor Kugler is at the office
And hears noise at the stairs 
open the door seeing a German uniform.

The train of death in between the silence of the landscape
 transporting human beings is leaving from the station.
The train of death is riding 
in between the country side 
carrying goods and prisoners of war
is 8 August 1944. 
The train doors are close 8 people are in.
Ana looks outside the train stop.
She became 15 and got presents at the behind 
house and that last page is dated 1 august 1944

The train is riding with Margot
The noise is loud in Amsterdam
The silence noise is loud in Germany,
home was Holland in 1934-1939,
and Zandvoort summertime with Mrs: Schneider
and at the Montessori school.

There is war and occupation 
then the capitulations and the law
that  was 
each Jew most wears a star.
That’s how Ana frank and her family 
Arrived in Holland
The collaborators members of the NBS the Dutch Nazi party 
had in 1941 this national socialist movement 100.000 members 
and 20.000 Dutch served the German army.
Against the Russian front at the oostfront
because the Nazis wanted every Jew out of Germany.


 In 27 January 1945 freed by the Russian
found but 7.650 people alive
Otto frank is one of them
And almost 6 million Jews were exterminated
Under the holocaust 
That means in Dutch: bran doffer, shoah (of sjoa) catastrophe, ramp
The winter of 1944/45.

Times Are Edging In, a Time To Reset

Times are Edging in, a time to Reset

The thick, meticulous and dreary cyclone evades, 
the once osculate atmosphere;
With a dubiousness and vengeance in his eyes 
As of a dry Namibian December thunderstorm,
The odds have since changed, as the choices remain slim, to men
Finally the dance is to the walls, 
Optimism is an option, as the lever clings to man
The times are chastised to man,  to craft a future;
The hands on the hour glass close in on a revolve
For the meticulously strong vigorous, character 
of the world is now worn out, gasping for breathe on his knees
After the exhaustion and degradations, exploitation 
Nations are overshadowed by financial overhauls:
Diplomatic relations groomed over centuries,
now tumble and rumble.
The freshness is exterminated with toxic, irritating and slanderous -
pollutions, choke the  aromas and fragrance out,
The evergreens are now a neo hypocritical call  of extinct equatorial and tropical 
Lifelessness, exhibited by the once glamorous forest cover,
The answer is,  a reset that sings in the tranquil minds, of them;
Policies, campaigns, intentions, attitudes and tools
The time to adopt, assimilate less, remain extinct,
At the merciless jaws of evolution.

Mow Down

I found the gateway….To mow (down) any stomachache….
 (Touched)
 By your sweat….
Liquidated …. any honor… I put, into your heart….
Atomize…. any memory or dream….
Exterminated…. the sound of your…(Voice)….
The battles….The discomfort…. And headaches…
My poor… damage feet, walked everyday….
For amusement and Hanky-panky…..
Was… your , welcome mat…
If I would…. of.... known, oh my….
I woulda, pulled out your.… blueprint….
Then take out my…. Passport….
Leaving your ….horrors and stains behind….
Glorification…. between us, was only a memory or dream….
Sorry….. I don’t know which…
I guess, kill powder…. Passes… in my skin….

Premium Member Black Powder

We celebrate Guy Fawkes although he did not quite make the grade

I know and understand rebellion threatens thus he met his fate

Could have been worse he could have blown of his incendiary hand

Less body parts to torture in the name of country and King of the land

Guido as they called him fighting for the Spanish before his foiled plot

Was fully aware that he could be exterminated for an unsavoury complot


Can violence in the name of debatable justice be ever condoned

The masters of power today might agree when Syria is droned

Crusades in the name of some cause or other belie religion and creed

When money meets oil geopolitical persuasion derived from greed


Black powder in Guy’s case blew up in his fierce revolutionary face

Unlike Nelson an eye for a blind spot got him nothing but disgrace


Dark power gloved fists velvet resolutions and orange insurrections

Should of course release white peace doves from resolute minds’ disaffection

Nena’s 99 red balloons and Banksy’s street art reveal a powerful message

No doubt they beat anthrax in envelops and letter bombs sent by expressage


Yet Mandela in his armed struggle days was deemed a vile terrorist

Fought for the cause in despair but was labelled a mean criminal errorist


Suppose that leaves us with religion and Jesus crossed bleeding nailed

Whereas Guy stored explosives in Westminster’s undercroft with little avail


A white robed Ghandi marched for salt freedom justice peaceful opposition

Before him the Buddha sat quietly under a Bodhi tree for untroubled transition


Fawkes received victor’s punishment but is said to have fallen from the scaffold

Before being hanged broke his neck probably mocked the crowd that was baffled

Avoided the agony of the punitive rope before drawn and divided into four parts

Outsmarted the executioner retribution erratically broken in fits and starts


Few of us know the real story only shoot fireworks remember November the 5th

Blow money miss the pith dispense judgement in blessed ignorance forthwith


A lesson to be learnt from the historical legend some possible moral from treason

Is that words are superior to gun powder and it’s better to die for a right reason
