Best Gloating Poems
GLOATING
At least I am full.
I got a roof over my head.
I can go and find relief when I need it.
Can you say the same?
Of course, not, you don’t know the game.
I am not gloating because I am proud of who I am.
I am not a show-off by stating where I stand.
I will step to the cause to take care of myself.
You should do the same when you know you should do better.
I paid two hundred dollars for these shoes.
The outfit I am wearing was a good bit too.
I had my teeth fixed through my insurance.
I am thanking the good Lord for all he does.
Do you do the same when you are blessed?
Of course, not, you think you did all this by yourself.
I am gloating about how good God is to me.
I want the world to see.
When your faith is shown through your glory,
Let the world know whose Jehovah.
I am double Mastered.
I am a rhymester.
I am a mental strategist.
I am fulfilled.
I have walked a treacherous path.
The Almighty God was visionary.
He spoke at the most precarious times.
He told me he was by my side.
I know you say I am gloating.
Might I do just that?
God said spread his will and his way to everybody.

The Gloating Poet
There once was a poet remote
Who got stuck on some words that he wrote.
And try as he might,
No new words came to light.
So since thence he no longer can gloat.

March 19th...alternate last line added. I LOVE YOUR COMMENT DORIS! I changed my last
line. Is
this okay? Please say yes. I guess that makes it a collaboration.
Gloating monkey sat on palm tree
plucked pods and broke them;
he drank and drank all the wine
in drunken mood he shouted;
“I am the king of the universe,
Master of the jungles I am…!
Come, attack. I’ll show you
material I’m made of.”
You found comfort in such costly things, no pleasure in our family and life together
I saw the selfish way you thought of yourself and ignored our daughter and I begged you
to change. And you did by changing address and with another man.
What you never expected was the character of our child and she choosing me to live with
instead of you. Only then did you finally see what a truly great mind she had.
And what a great love for her faithfully loving dad.
Ahh, but its those little shocks that are foundation of a coming justice.
One I no longer wish upon you but its not my choice.
This I dedicate to you. I'll send a copy for KK to send to you.
Sad Truth and No Gloating
Selfish deeds are like scum on a pond
covering it and smothering so very much
Of money you were so very , very fond
now greed stinks on everything you touch
You have your wealthy man, your millions and a new life
so why is your time filled with sadness, despair and family strife
Yes, tales are now often told happily by your family to me
they too finally opened their hearts and eyes to see
I take no satisfaction in the troubles you now enjoy
the new man you found could not be your slavish toy
Amazingly bad when that old coin is rightly flipped
life is cold as ice and on it you finally slipped ........ Robert L.
ok, maybe just a little bit of gloating..
Whenever everything is going my way just as I decree
Humble me Lord to pray and take the gloat out of me
When my enemies are defeated through wisdom shown
So may Your Way be greeted and Your Holy Name known
When the match has be won and no matter how heated
May I think of Your Holy Son and the way He was treated
Lord don't allow me to gloat but continue down Your road
With just a little note to self as to how much is really owed
For in the winning of such a prize or taking home that award
Please always keep open my eyes to Your gentle touch oh Lord
That the equation not contain pride nor any ego to try to defend
For that it's is You at my side is the only thing to which I depend
As surely Lord I know it is not I but the work of Your Own Hand
For surely as hard as I may try only through You can I understand
So I give it all up to You Lord in the Name of Your Sacred Heart
As so You should be adored, oh Jesus, from me never depart
Proverbs 29:23
A man's pride shall bring him low:
but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.
They made a horror flick
He was weak or he was sick
They chose him as the star
He can run, but won't get far
They created a wall compartment
Inside his small apartment
They installed cameras there
Reality show, unwanted, but they didn't care.
(bridge)
He felt ill, he began to ail
No idea of the hand pushing down the scale
Romance and work dove down the drain
They laughed and gloated at his pain.
(Chorus)
It’s a horror flick, but the plot is real,
They aren't like us in the way they feel.
He’s the star they chose, but the plot is sick,
Living and dying in their horror flick.
He heard them speak, felt nerve gas in his room
His apartment was a secret tomb.
He knew too much, but the cops would not believe
And he could not save others, for them we grieve.
So, learn the lesson be an owl:
Around us ghouls are on the prowl
They pass as normal, but empathy lacks
And in normal life, there are hidden attacks.
It could happen to you too
Bewildered by all the bad things that accrue
A life derailed, no suspicion why
When the only exit seems the choice to die.
