Best Issue Poems

They say it all makes sense now. 
All these medical oddities I've experienced at such a young age. 
My doctor insists that things have to make sense. 
He says it's his job, to find the reason. 
I baffle him with my hair loss and insomnia....

From glaucoma to chemotherapy
Medical marijuana has its place
But you won’t find any prescribed
In the conservative Sunshine State

Chris couldn’t eat while under treatment
Watched him lose one-hundred pounds
He had no access to an appetite stimulant
His weight was 85 when laid in the ground

Hefty Jen had lived a...

shattering 
his serenity...
roiling
the stagnant waters
of his bitter past

About climate change and its effects there has been a lot of chatter.

One concern is that the sea-level is rising and I think I know the matter.

My research reveals that there is a dearth of sea sponges, (that is my notion).

We need to increase the...

It is difficult to get rid of the false self
A believable mask has taken years to develop
Such safety precautions demand extensive disguising
Dear i ask, why can't we all be living in the bare?

The conditioning begins at a young age
Everyone is trained to look good at...

Cardboard lay’s upon the floor
In front of the shop it blocks the door
A tell tale sign of a poor night’s sleep
Warm and dry they try to keep.
Safe inside - we lock the door
Without a thought for the really poor?
When night does fall, the risks are...

Two players were vying at darts,
there’s chaos when somebody farts
Both players deny
letting a fart fly 
and suddenly the trouble starts

Maybe their gut gave them some gyp,
and secretly they just let rip
The smell of rotten eggs

A "Highly" Debated Issue


From glaucoma to chemotherapy
Medical marijuana has its place
But you won’t find any prescribed
In the conservative Sunshine State

Chris couldn’t eat while under treatment
Watched him lose one-hundred pounds
He had no access to an appetite stimulant
His weight was 85 when laid in the ground

Healing, making well, curing, relating to a paralytic, exorcising demons
MLK laid the path for black rights and equality  
Was Jesus social issue not the ill and disabled, health and medicine?...

The Nuclear Issue. 
 There they sit the high and mighty
And their lackeys it is serious

About the elephant in the room, yet
It sits there glaring for...

Somebody saw the enemy’s fearless leader
secretly slinking away
The battle in the blood desert field of Raqqa
was still raging on
Hell’s fury had more than a pound of flesh
left to take
But that fearless leader, 
who was seen stealthily leaving,
didn’t wanna collect his combat pay
Two years to the...

Sinking into a True Despair
 
It’s like trying to shoot a monstrous ghost that you can’t ever see,
and, at the same time, this applies when one wants to kill a rumor,
and where everything is just like water running off a duck’s back,
and when you can’t...
