Best Incompetent Poems


A Matter of Convenience

A grove of magnolias perfumes the air
as they sit absorbed in one another's gaze,
she with her crochet and he with his collectibles
uneasy in their pleasure in the evening of their years.

Lawyers control their affairs like vultures slavering 
their prey, waiting to swoop when the timing is right,
for what use is their wealth to them now? No kids, 
no convenient callers making spurious claims, 
the power of attorney running everything, 
in their own best interests, of course.

Summer Haven was the name of their new residence,
with their final resting place conveniently pre-selected.

But they still could make suggestions, could they not?
not really incompetent, simply eccentric and odd;
eating their meals out of red plastic bowls
and taking their medicines eight times a day,
convenient, and all for their own good no doubt,
but day after day of this treatment can deflate the soul.

One blissful moonlit night they'd had enough.
They packaged their drugs into secure containers
and shredded their records so as to break free.
They stole cartons of candy and five jugs of Ensure
and headed straight out the unguarded back door,
jump-started the motor-bike out by the tool shed
and roared off on a quest for their own 
     sweet convenience!

"There is no more dangerous menace to civilization 
than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men."
                                                    ~ Ludwig von Mises


Presidential candidates are men of the same unfit kiN
Only one thing they are after ~ the votes of you and I
Left wing or the right; it's a catastrophe in the makinG
Its leadership offered, but it's just their word of moutH
They've made promises that neither of them has kepT
I make no distinction between a donkey or pachyderM
Curmudgeons are they, past prime. One with dementiA
And the other a felon with insufferable moral behavioR
Lordy, what dismal choices when America goes to votE

Daughter of the King

Daughter of the King

Young woman.....
You are 
First and foremost and always 
A daughter of the King....

Molded and created with 
delicate architecture and 
infused with notes of mystery 
and beauty, 
Fiery passions and gifts that 
slowly unfold
Like a flowers petals opening in 
due season
With the right amount of 
sunshine and rain
You bring vibrancy and color 
like lilies to a valley. 

You are a daughter of the King

Designed with the remarkable 
ability to give birth to life
A life that is every part you, 
every part of a man, and every 
part a unique creation
You are a daughter of the King
Designed to shine and bring joy
Your strengths to compliment 
and your weaknesses to be 
complimented 
You are not an accident  
You are not your past mistakes
You are not cell tissue
You are not what people may 
have called you
Labels they have contrived
Or grave abuses you have 
survived
Your name is not Stupid, ****, 
Good for Nothing, Prude, 
Pathetic, or Weird
It is not Loser, Lunatic, 
Incompetent , or Waste of Time
It isn't Drama Queen, 
Desperate, or "be seen but not 
heard", 
Your name is Fearfully and 
Wonderfully made
Though
You may feel lonely at times
You're not Forever Alone 
Because you are Never Alone
You may feel weak at times
But you are not your 
achievements or your failures
You Are

A daughter of the King

You do not need to hide the 
delicacy of your femininity 
behind callous walls of 
protection
The King will watch over His 
kingdom 
And He will fiercely defend and 
provide just what you need
He knows every hair on your 
head, every desire and every 
dread
He knows and sees every tear, 
every frustrating sigh, and 
smiles at every victory. 

You are a daughter of the King. 

You are beautifully and 
intricately woven by the same 
hands that put the atoms and 
the universe in perfect order...
You are the apple of the 
Creators eye
Never duplicated 
Though some may try
Failing to see 
That they too are carved in 
uniqueness.
You are in this world 
But not bound by it
Given wings to take flight
To soar among the heavens 
From where your essence was 
breathed from

You are
A daughter of the King


I Can Sacrifice For You

© Rodgers Roger 

Every single day 
Sunrise to sunset
I think of you,
How whole
And how well
God endowed you
With beauty so incomparable, 
Yet I can't stand going through a life, 
Knowing You will never be mine.

To cherish you I will
To treasure I shall
To long for you I do,
Just like your presence,
Your absence tires me apart
But you can't help it
Who you fall in love for, 
Its not like choosing which taxi 
To carry you through,
So I understand

If I am asked to say the last word,
I would go speechless
Your story leaves me incompetent 
I see many things that leave me tongue twisted, 
As I slowly die away.

I would courageously say it
That you rock my life,
But you wouldn’t care,
So what would be left of me
Than to kiss your soft lips and run away,
As I risk the silence you would blow on me forever?

But I can't keep this heart of mine dreaming,
Things that will never happen, 
If we can’t make them happen,
I will make one step back
But not step away
I will nail this love for you
And surrender my last passion
I will make a sacrifice

I will do anything you ask of me, 
Even pull a sharp spear 
Into this heart that bleeds for you, 
So that blood can stream out this chamber,
Since without you my life isn't worth the save.

I would sacrifice anything for you my brainteaser,
My early morning song, Yes I would sacrifice for you
But only when you know,
And believe 
I'll never stop loving you,
Even to the deep dark grave
I would go smiling
If only I know
You distinguish my love
From other people

Premium Member Irritated

Help me smother this irritation ~ with lines and punctuations ~ 

Feed me pronouns ~ to drown incompetent sounds ~

Nouns to block inevitable frowns ~ verbs to calm nerves ~

Synonyms to perpetuate and penetrate minds ~ antonyms to reiterate in rhyme~

Give me a vocabulary of words to express my perturb ~ why must people be so absurd

Lay

Five Haiku

Such a disaster 
Waking up in the morning
Shamelessly white 

Haiku
 Self- tanning cream
The pride of looking sporty 
The mirror pulls face 

Haiku
Deep philosophy 
The poet is in deep water
Saved by low tide

Haiku
One types of success
When your work brings happiness
And not endless doubt  

Haiku
The loser a man 
Who knows he`s incompetent  
Yet accuse others

The news I read
Been the same for fifty years
War and film stars


Lab Rat

Lab Rat


I feel like a lab rat
Property of this or that
Choices no longer mine to make
What’s the point to life for goodness sake?
A pill for your troubles and a pat on the back
Compassion for others is what they really lack
All the pricking, poking and a prodding
Has got my spirit just a rotting
All the sitting and a waiting
Has got my spirit debating
A place where they are so cold to the touch
A place where your spirit doesn’t mean much
A place where they are rude and their prices are high
The very thought of them just makes me want to sigh
Why do I allow them to use me so?
Is it my fear that makes me sink so low?
Maybe it is the pain I am in
That makes me come to this place again
They never make it any better for me
Everyone is their little experiment you see
With each patient that comes through
They learn a little more but it doesn’t help you
And although you know yourself better then your host
Your opinions they seem to hate the most
Apparently now we make our own selves sick
Its our thoughts or our habits, take your pick
Antibiotics withheld for the sake of defense
Yet dropping our guard just doesn’t seem to make any sense
With what do we use to fight these ugly beasts
While in your blood it sits and it feasts
Making you weaker by the day
Because they don’t want to help you in any way
Narcotics and poisons their only method of choice
And there you sit drugged…silent without a voice
Refuse them and you will see
They’ll label you incompetent and won’t ever set you free
They want you alive but don’t care if you are living
They want to watch until your spirit stops its giving
Once you expire it means nothing to them
You’re a lab rat swept away by the doctors on a whim.

The Man In the Moon

The sun is distant now; lowering its gaze upon me to a mere blanket of obscurity. 
The sea is calm but still tantalisingly sinister and threatening. 

The silence is hostile, I am cold and alone - each breath I take is an intricate requisite.
I am sceptical, burdened with misplaced ideals, unconvinced I will ever unearth the vitality within myself. 

Kneeling on the edge of my own existence, I wait for a voice to utter my path,
The man in the moon offers me a reluctant and hesitant grin as he watches over me. I'm too incompetent to counter the gesture. 

My inability in offering a tear is poignant for us both - He understands me. It is beautiful.

Farewell George

Farewell George
No warm wishes here
Gone is your reign of feeding on fear
No more incompetent good 'ol boy antics
So long to your off-base far-right fanatics
Actually... unfortunately...they're still here
But gone is your non-sensical ethics to cheer
Time now to mend global relation
You made breaking those ties a vocation
Stomping through conquering with elation
Overpowering nation, all while on vacation

Farewell George
Enjoy the robbed riches
Like I said, with no well wishes
Choke on the oil soaked cash you made
Retire on what defense contracts paid
We'll pay for the pile of weapons "needed"
To see a race of peaceful people depleted
Using the villiany of one man we enabled 
trained, and armed him...then turned the tables
Using weapon of mass destruction deceit
knowing they're there because we have the receipt

Farewell George
No, don't even say Jeb
Two times are enough in the Bush family web
It actually goes further than you and your Dad
Should I mention the ties Gramps and the binLadens had?
Should I say he did well with investing Nazi money?
Your family is so evil...its no where near funny
Farewell George...If you were curious...I'm not your biggest fan.

What Decade Is It

It seems we have traveled a very long way,
just to end up where we started from.
Still taking most from all,
and giving it all to some.
The incompetent march and all cry foul,
and say that soon their time will come.

The farmers all hate the factories,
for putting their women on the job.
The rich white men hated black men,
they said they were nothing but a mob.
The Catholics hated everyone else,
while the rule makers just polished their knob.

The new women said they knew what was best,
that their mothers had it all wrong.
The politicians praised how all the people,
worked together to make America strong.
It was the poor that wrote the words,
but it was the rich who sang the song.

So, I ask if any one of us,
will ever know just what to do.
In a country where the left says they’re right,
but the right says that they are too.
And up in the big house around the corner,
lies are touted as the gospel truth.

History often repeats itself,
that's what the experts all say.
The way it was a hundred years ago,
is the way that it still is today.
And we still have not learned our lesson,
that the answer is to kneel and pray.

Definition of a Woman

She is like words of thunder, a unique, intelligent, family oriented, physique human being
who sees life unseen, accomplish goals, and fulfill dreams, independent, daring, and will
stand her ground. She is bound to face situations, sexism, racism, and divism, stop
thinking' she is incompetent to handle world crisis for she was born with wisdom. So how
dare you look at her as a dainty flower frolicking in the air with no guidance or care,
where is the justice there? She has the right to do anything a man can do and better too,
cut her some slack and just have her back cause she will have yours. She will chose her
own destiny just give her respect and acknowledge her existence. Black, White, Hispanic
and Asian woman of all races stand together as one nation, powerful, mindful and proud as
Gods temple. Men praise her for she is the mother of our children, and the fruit of our
existence, and above most is to equal in Gods Creation. Even in the midst of her neglect
she still receives attention, affection and protection from the stereotype housewife, free
spirited lesbian, undermined ignorance. She is a feminist who screams for acceptance from
the hype, profiles, and styles. Her hands mold and feed the lands wisdom, inspiring
musicians, and most of all education, intelligent, elegant and polite. Truth is she is
beautiful even when battered, misused and treated cruel regardless of her hardship, the
burdens on her shoulders her soul lifts, and distinguished from a man her skin is thick
and rich, blooming from the suns off her ********. She is unique specie, but despite her
complicatedness, outspokenness, and differences she will never go extinct. Think about it
men can't live with her, and damn sure can't live without her, because we know life
without her is like the earth without its five elements it can't exist. What she provides,
loves life and excitement in her studding essence. All the words in the Webster Dictionary
you still couldn't define her existence.

A Letter To My Godfather

I return my ungratefulness
for all your help and tenderness
that dwarf my potentials from incipient
and i here boast my lament

for you are the pilot of my lameness
a gift and a hope of darkness
the weather is now inclement
for my tall horns of incompetent

for all my walls are build with weakness
i should have known the gladness
of hard work, spend and be spent
but i trust in fig men for a tent

this is your legacy of unfruitfulness
for me to succeed after your likeness
but i reject you today and resillent
because in real world your name has no 
reverent

Ableism

Ableism, in the streets in day .  People tell me how to walk, when to walk, how to live. ? 
because
  I'm blind I'm obviously  incompetent; even if not  this impression they give.
The other night I was in the most pleasant mood when a man grabbed  the cane and  it's not considered  rude.
Just a part of the ignorant theme of America and  elsewhere. ; I get it.
Yet the price to be paid  is mine and the trauma identity
 imbedded 
 Early afternoon I peeled away the gloom.
By writing  down my thoughts and feelings though abstract like the  nebulas I've grown to own.
Poetry Soup  an some showed me love.
Community, finally, but  bliss  to early...
To log in you need  a Capture code; a little image simple to you but impossible for me.
ablest surely   aren't in our  home we think; Saturday night live can't truly be that cruel.
Sorry to say it's true.
The spoken  key won't fit in the lock; give it a try and put yourself in my  rotten shoe  .
SNL wouldn't  make fun of a Jew, but they brutalize
 the blind     just as  surely as I'm talking to you.
Yes it is true; I  am witness; the verbal codes keep me from taking part just as surely as your weight  problem meant  no prom date.
I can   only have  my girlfriend log me in so long and then  I'm livid      and   screaming my   ostracism
 song.   feel terrible, side-lined, and wanted to tell the site developers.
I  go  to the contact us link but of course you needed to see in order   to send a message.
The verbal codes   inaudible
 or at best they can't be typed for glitches.
Call the BBB but unless it's a valid crime then who cares.
 If'n my   heart then it tears.
If it's my  part then  it's the role of pulling out my own hair; to pull through?And so I bit you ado.

I Lost My Green Card

The immigration is coming for me 
I live in a two bedroom house with eight other families 
We will be deported, this process includes a meal, so our stomachs will be full 
I dream at night for beans, rice and burritos 
I cook my burritos in fat, heavy lard 
I check my pockets, now I'm worried, I think I lost my green card 
I have gas and burps because of the food 
I want to make bambinos, but the senora is not in the mood 
She's not ready, she says I'm pushing too hard 
Now she's mad, flushes my wallet down the toilet, there goes my green card 
Now rice and beans will be my meals three times a day 
The immigration is the predator and I'm the prey 
I sneak through a hole in the fence 
This shows the border patrol is incompetent 
I am again caught and sent back across the border 
I will miss the reruns of Law and Order 
Sam Waterson can't win a case, what a retard 
This all goes back to when I lost my green card
