Best Insurance Policy Poems

1
Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name is vanity!

By doubting Nature's regnancy,
defying laws with levity,
we strain our...

Hope Drunk
Kenneth Alexander

It’s harder, than ever, these days to see the bright side of life, what with reality the way it is.

Suffering imminent, never ending pain, reminiscent, expand a good plan some evil is collected. 

All is well in love and war, child victims, seniors...

There is a poem I wrote several years ago that several people have written me saying how it helped them decide not to take their own life. Several people have asked me "How can you write a poem that can actually save the life of...

a disinteresting air

another gaze
within a full length mirror

a persnickety grimace
bandaids 
the severed slices 
of crystal
sleeping 
within my 
larynx

excuse my idiotcy
not utilizing 
punctuation marks
cmon darling
please        please
warrant my arrest

dementia is not covered 
under my insurance policy 
but 
cough  ...

You thought you had me by the hair,
While you tossed my heart
To and fro
Across a tennis court 
Just because 
I was your insurance policy 
That you kept in your back pocket 
Or so you thought
Until that frigid morning 
I disappeared 
Halfway across the globe 
Just...

This poem was too long to submit without premium membership, so I have submitted it in two parts, but it is meant to be read together. 

Part one....

They say he is clearly psychotic, if knowing that was even a possibility.
The visible signs are all present,...

Don't touch me
Not in the sense 
I want nothing to do with you
But don't touch me
Cause I'm feeling some kinda way about you.
Where don't means do
I'm about to come unglued 

Get away from me,
You're giving me that
Could this be the one type vibe

Can I stay...

FIRE, FIRE
The house is burning round me,
There’s no time to hang about.
Just enough for me to get
A few essentials out.

First, up to the bathroom
To collect my medications.
To a lifelong hypochondriac,
They’re vital preparations.

Next, the photo albums; 
I just can’t let them burn.
My life recorded through a...

Mommy, if I make up my bed
Which consist of old Sunday newspapers
Could I have, can I have a slice of bread
And if I sweep the floors with my bare feet
I'm so hungry mommy can I have some water wit my bread
OH, OH
Now the only valuables...

When a man came at me with a knife,
I was forced to shoot and take his life.
It was self defense but I was still horrified by what I had done.
I would be dead and buried if I hadn't been carrying my gun.
But he said something...

Some got a pathological need,
a dirty obsession for that coffin wallpaper
They wrapped themselves in the black widow veil
of murderous deceit
For what?
To taste the yellow snow 
of an unclean life   insurance policy,
a crimson crypt guarantee
They’re willing to scarlet signature go
to the pit of perdition...

A HEARTY EXPERIENCE

Bad cholesterol found easy sites in my heart for deposition
Time came when they needed to be cleaned by operation.

Two stents were planted by what they called angioplasty
My heart would survive if the arteries didn't again get nasty.

As medical treatments were getting day by...

If your automobile insurance was all paid up to date
And you suffered a loss, just what would you say?
Would you say, “Mr. Repairman, I will pay the bill”
I don’t believe Allstate will do what they say they will

If one paid for your families health insurance...

If something happens to me and I’m found stiff and cold,
Don’t think it’s my time, 
‘cause I’m not nearly that old!

If it’s true what they say, 
that fifty’s the new thirty,
Then i’m in my prime, 
with plenty of time, 
and a mind to be a...
