Best Four Horsemen Poems


The Four Horsemen
I saw the Four Horsemen -
the famous apocalypse guys.
They rode silently past neatly folded laundry,

They approached me in silence,
their breathe a rye and meadow wind.
Each of them in turn,

gliding ghostlike past where I sat,
watching steam on the mirror
grow cold.

War had no use for me,
past my prime, bum knee.
Not even as cannon fodder.

Famine had little to...

Tombstone - Like the Four Horsemen
they walked along
weathered, carrying their guns;
like the four horsemen…

down to the O.K.
guns blazing, bullets flying;
smoke clears, the strong stand…...

War is just a means tae a’ end
Deaythe’s the price o’ life.
Famine comes upon black horse 
fillin the gullet o’ Deaythe’s strife.

War is just a means tae a’ end
Deaythe’s the price o’ life
Power swings War’s blood red swuird
the weak an’ the old suffice.

War is just a means tae a’ end
Deaythe’s the price o’ life.
Conquest raises...

The Four Horsemen of the Amockalypse
At the sound of the first horn, the joke becomes ill,
And there is just no amount of comedic skill,
That can hide its indecency, but try he will,
And despite its poor taste, he will use it still.

Upon the second horn, The Heckler appears,
And the joke is now met with insensitive jeers,
“Is that all you’ve got?!” he...

The Four Horsemen
When told to tow the lines
In steno-scopic sight,
Rebellious of the signs
Fight for your right to fight.

Presented with the guff
That all shall be all-right,
Predictably it’s rough
Fight for your right to fight.

Narcissistically!

Opposability!

Demonstrability!

Vindicability!

Welcome to the kingdom
Where will is just a blight,
Just a severed symptom
Fight for your right to fight.

Septic it may happen
In day or maybe night,
Shy of what...

The Four Horsemen
Prancing proud, the horses come
	Hoofbeats loud sound thru the land
Marching to an unseen drum
	Beaten by an unseen hand

First a snow white horse drew nigh
	Whose rider held an ivory bow
He shot the stars from out the sky
	And dealt the sun a fatal blow

Next appeared a horse of red
	Its rider raised a scarlet sworde
'Come and see' the...

The Four Horsemen
The Four Knights 
		     
	    Together they rode the dark and muddied lanes,
	    Hoof-beats echo beneath the sullen trees,
	    Escaping from a soul just newly slain,
	    Forcing death on faith they sought to please.
	    Open wounds...

The Four Horsemen
The Four Horses went riding

as I trotted 'round in shame

Two worlds were colliding

and I felt the flame

 

 

So here I am in hiding

for I am to blame

Now, Four Horses are dividing

and calling out my name...

Conquest
An endless cycle
Little men with little minds
Want to rule the world

War
History teaches
The one thing humans do best
Is kill each other

Famine
Human paradox
In a world of such plenty
People are starving

Death
Fact or prophecy
The human race is the next
Endangered species...

On A Pure-White Horse, Sits ‘The Champion’
He will Ride on to Victory, ‘til the War is Won
On A Fire-Red Horse, Sits The Warrior
He Rides Forth into Battle, Blood, Rage & Armor

On A Bold-Black Horse, Sits A Dark Guest
His Name is Famine, Poverty, Gloom & Unrest
Scales Balance His Weapon & Weigh Out Threat
…. And On A...
