Best Lack Poems

(Preterition = the act of passing by or over; omission; disregard, in this case, charity)

Who can accuse him of lacking charity?
He felt the rain, cold and dank, too many people
without shelter, poorly dressed, wet and shivering.
I’d rather not talk about it. I’m like everyone else.
No...

When I had just turned nineteen,
I then caught the travel bug.
The urge to travel the world,
was similar to any drug.

But I lived in a country town;
quite green and very naive,
and the world is a big place
that was hard for me to perceive.

First stop was merry...

Suffering and pain for our nation’s gain,
but no one recognizes what those before us went through
because in today’s self-centered society the only thing that matters is you.
They fought for their freedoms, rights, and happiness,
yet all some remember of them is madness.
People don’t appreciate those who...

For Lack of a Smile

For lack of a smile a trust was lost
For lack of a trust a soldier was lost
For lack of a soldier a general was lost 
For lack of a general a battle was lost
All for the lack of a smile.

A smile...

Water, as most of you will know, 
has the chemical formula H2O.
Now this essential liquid is, as well, 
in its natural form, devoid of smell, 
and also in its pure state, 
it's clear and clean and really great, 
for keeping living things alive, 
as without...

The lack of love and affection

Written By Dean Masciarelli

November 10, 2009 (10:34am)



The lack of love and affection 

Can truly bring you down

And it can cause you

To become emotionally 
unstable and withdrawn

And even irritable at times

And when this happens

You tend to lose your bearings 

And your...

The News: Lack of Love

We couldn’t read the news, nor decode a word
Nor the cries and prayers among the relics of hearts
I didn’t understand why freedom couldn’t taste Albanian
I couldn’t believe that we started hurting animals

And I committed suicide because I believed, wanted to breath
Me,...

That day when I opened my eyes
I just as quickly shut them tight
I knew you were going to die
But I couldn't stand by your side
And I cannot forgive myself 
For being too weak to say goodbye 
I couldn't scream and I couldn't cry
All I could...

Read these words, 
as they flow to chaos.
The expression of rage
inked across the page.

You think you know me, 
you don't know ****.
Scared and tattooed, 
I hide all of it.

The answer would be; 
what's mine is mine
My past, 
My pain,...

A Lack of Appreciation

By Elton Camp

It was on a cold 1940 September morn 
That in a big, brick building I was born

I must admit, for I know it to be true,
My father never gave the payment due

Yet, to that place, a privilege it should be
To...
