Best Harsh Poems

Everyone is so uptight.
I just came to drink and they all wanna fight.
Some sixfoot seven pissed off dude.
Just blacked my eye.
Cause his girlfriend just happened to be in the mood.

Got thrown in jail after I eat some special brownies
and decided to go to the library...

We judge others with ease, so very harshly!
But what about ourselves?
Not one of us is pure nor sinlesss, 
Unless you are dead, of course.


Moralists have great fun, they do judge all!
Yet....Christ loved sinners and saints.
So why judge another, it’s not your place!
What sins are hidden...

Harsh storm / great floods blow
Crashed hill / drenched fields flow
Blocked light / dark town prays
Faith cheered / peace* brings glow

*John 16:33 These things I (Jesus Christ) have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation:...

It’s a harsh cold winter
You’re gone and I’m so bitter
I sat front-row seat
As I watched our love wither

Heart gouged by the splinters
You’ve silenced your ringer
And my feelings for you
Oh, they still linger…

It’s a harsh cold winter
Choked sobs and silent whimpers
Sparks of love burned out
Leaving ashes...

No matter how much time you have to help others,
No matter how many resources you have to help others,
No matter how many favors you call in to help others,
No matter how many ideas you can come up with to help others,
There is a harsh lesson...

The glow of her skin is patchwork yellow
She has been pierced by the rain on her soul
Her face, stained by tears, sings with a cello

Crying seems rampant and beyond control
But the colors of her soul is released
And projected on herself as a whole

There are days...

HARSH VOICE

I sing the song eternal
A crackling, cackling broomstick sweep
Why?

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
A squirt of the old oil can
Clears up the voice for Tin Man

No Yellow Brick Road this life
No wizard in some enchanted castle
And I ask again, why?

This world no Disney...

She walks in to the disco 
Feeling pretty hot
Glances from the others 
Tell her that she’s not.
Killer heels do just that
Lips a cupid bow
Drops her Prada handbag
Wrinkles start to show.
Downs a quick Bacardi
Drinking makes her bold
Confidence is growing
Away from her cuckold.

Geezers in the corner 
Laugh...

Wow I thought it was 2011

Not 1963 wow I came back up

And fed up with a harsh reality

That is sinful fatality

Faces turn red when the truth

Is fed. They are Rip Van Winkles

In a fast changing global society

Woe is them and me

God help me

People tell me

Harsh...

Blood soaks the streets in your name
Eating offal in the rain
The dogs of war are howling
As the rain washes it down the drain
Empty shells fall to the ground
Everywhere rotting bodies are found
We are bound, gagged, beaten and raped
Blood soaks the streets in your name....

Incarcerated in a prison of one’s tortured and twisted mind
Is worse than any physical chamber that you could find.

Languishing in an existence that fades in and out of reality
With only turmoil and a total deficiency of tranquility.

Fortunately as your mind decays and deteriorates into the...

The other fantastic day,
I met my dear lovely friend,
A King of the Jungle
We hugged each other
Jasmine, the poet of crows was bushing
Her long black nib to write a honk style poem
Gag Gag Harsh Hug...

heave bursts from lips can both injure or heal
harsh words strike deep the bayonet’s metal
while kind words stroke soft as a rose petal
floral scent~ gardener’s sweeter appeal
