Best Hedonism Poems


Hedonism
The story of Sodom and Gomorrah biblical sense
The inability of repentance

Turned to a statue of stone
The truth as it was shown

America may suffer the same fate
Evangelicals at the pearly gate

Lust, greed and debauchery 
A government in the troughs of tyranny

Vulgar and uncouth pronouncement of discourse
A...

Glad,hedonistic lad;
Delighting in delectations,
Amusing affectations,
Posturing pretension
with ogling ostentation!

Professing pleasure seeking
Confessing,leisure leaning.
Reputation so revealing,
Passe peer appealing!

Performing,extroverting,
Showcasing,demonstrating,
Superficial and artificial;
Pleasure without measure....

Hedonism
In this Equinoctial Splendor,
Around us cebelean surrender.
Nature’s love doth abound,
Leaping out of the ground.
So why’s my son still glued to Tinder?...

Hedonism 

There was a time when ships were hard to handle
a crew of thirty-four or more and boys of fifteen 
were employed to do the washing up after meals
and clean floors
A fraught time when hormones rage blatantly
we boys met in a cabin for communal maturation
to see who...

Premium Member Hedonism
We were born in a time where we cannot
Ever afford to break the rules
Taught unto us by different schools...
Different trains of thought...

Being the starving artist I am, as the fruit will rot,
I continue to observe and paint what I see:
The fruits of the old love...

Charlatan
Hedonism echoed
every pore of charlatan
bleeding illusion
mirage of grooves of magic
rode hollow soul to the black hole....

Premium Member Someone always makes the rules
It is now legal to take THC
A drug now in gummies and Cannabis tea
But in Siskiyou County the Hmong growers move in
threaten the natives, who must lose so you win.

You can love him and leave him, have a sweet fling,  
The government helps with...
