Best Look Around Poems
JUST LOOK AROUND STUPID
they're out there
everywhere
the ones who don't see beauty the universe composes
the tall golden wheat and the royal red roses
they don't appreciate the moonlight where kisses begin
and they spend the week in sordidness and sin
they never say "halleleujah" yet take His name in vane
and ignore their neighbors broken and beastly pain
they wash their new cars for all to see
even though they owe the bank at the cost of bankruptcy
they have nothing on their tongue but envious words and vincitive curses
and when they go to church they hold the book but listen not to the verses
they're out there everywhere
making their greed and gregariousness clear
and it's horridness my softened heart cannot bear

There is new life everyway in the skies, trees and both in the earth and under it
Lambs skipping chasing each other then running to their mothers to suckle
Eggs cracking open in the nest chicks fighting their way out of shell mum tidy's up and beaks ever ready for food brought by dad as mum keeps them warm
Mammals barrel deep inside the warm earth born blind and often hairless.
Insects hide under bark, tunnel into holes while skin split and new forms appear
Eggs cracking wide open
lambs frolic skipping at play
split skin reveal moths
I live a life in a place where alcohol violence reigns supreme/
over a dying culture split in se7en groups of se7enty times se7en of rival teams/
I hear my brothers hollers I hear my sisters screams/
I see people live among broken glass like that of many broken dreams/
I sometimes wish I could not see what my two eyes sometimes see/
I cant act blind as if it were just a brush off my sleeve/
The more I lose in life the more it seems the less I need/
I try and overcome my own selfish greed/
I got a child on the way I now look at what kind of role model I'd be/
I was was incarcerated so I must not take for granted for the simple fact that Im free/
But it hard with tattoos on my face in place where tattoos like mine seem a disgrace/
Lord watch over me as I take last place in this life game race/
It not a matter of being first second or third Lord cuz all I need iz your grace/
help me to better walk off this destructive road and slow my pace/
Just take me now if Im done with your purpose if thats the case/
Because I dont want to live like I got to look over my shoulder right around the corner....
Look around you
The world is already at an end
When the Mayans said that the world was going to end
They didn't mean a world destroyed by flare, quake, or salvation
But rather a world full of broken relation
That possibly, it wasn't a literal interpretation
But a figurative analysis of this falling nation
Are we not all the same people, the same human
But we'd rather live a life divided
A life divided by the color of our skin
What is war but greed to keep the amount of money left for our kin
Life is no longer cherished
The earth used for our own experiments until its resources perished
Genocide, assassinations, and murder supported for a "better cause"
Who are we to judge the abominations of others when there is flaw in our own laws
We continue to redefine what is socially accepted
Making a gateway for divorce, abortion, and legal prostitution
Rather than fixing what has been so psychologically rooted into the minds of this generation
We look to cover up past mistakes with a newly corrupted translation
Girls look for sex because of a lack of love from their fathers
Society tells boys to make use of this advantage
Treat girls as objects rather than human beings with emotions
And we later ask ourselves
How did these boys and girls ever become such bad parents
Our government shouts democracy
But isn't that really just a cover up to keep us appeased
It's most convenient when the majority stays quiet
Because only those in power can say that this earth's a heaven
To the majority, this earth is already a hell
The human race is so arrogant
Believing that they are the most superior in this world
That they can live without the mercy of God who should be in control
Look around you
The world is already at an end
An eagle sits in the cedar,
Another is soaring nearby.
If he hadn't called I'd have missed them.
I just wouldn't look that high.
A rufous towhee is searching
For seed that's been spilled on the ground.
A refilled feeder awaits him,
If he'd take a good look around.
How often we miss God's treasures
Just because we don't raise our eyes.
By keeping our narrow focus
We blunder and miss the prize.
We go through our lives with blinders,
Not seeing the glorious view,
Nor appreciating His wonders,
While our selfish ways we pursue.
A rainbow after the rainstorm,
Is worth living through rainy days.
Just lift your eyes from the puddles.
His benevolence will truly amaze.

ìŸí Babylon: with your pie high in the sky, death wish ?
Living amid this house of cards; snake eyes domino's tilting box....
Cars and if they could see his californication then perhaps there would have
Been no need to flood her world ? Full moon madness friday the thirteenth some say.
LOOK AROUND
Look around at the Queen’s England.
It’s such a magnificent country with a quaint air of happiness.
There is a freedom here like nowhere else on earth.
It’s part of being an English patriot,
of being in love with an English girl,
of shedding a tear when a Spitfire roars past.
New year meant new changes that some how got missed placed
All the resolutions meant to be good were quietly maced
No more good times and cheery smiles as our lives went wild
Tighter purse strings and few newer things as bells ring
Time to learn new trades and new ways to supplement income
Only time knows the destruction as the earth drinks rum
Bellowing smoke signals quickly ignored as the world sings its highest roar
All signs directly point to the end of time,a new era to begin
This life is going down fast from excessive sin
Prepare to stand for the poor and righteous and bear arms together
Look to the sky observe this outrageous weather
Be aware and stay prayed up with good intentions
Im ready to go nuts
I think its the doughnuts
I look around
a bunch of prefabbed huts
everywhere there's light
there's ladies of night
I look around
I know that its not right
its all the same
from cali to main
I look arround
its going down the drain
I cant get away
from night to day
I look around
and find a blackish grey
is it just me
just something I see
I look around
I see that were not free
red, blue, and the white
has she lost her sight
I look around
and see she likes to fight
Spring’s right around the corner,
and I got to thinkin, just today!
My favorite time of year,
is not that far away!
Sure, snow and colder weather
still may show their face!
But, it shouldn’t be much longer,
till they’ll both, be out of place!
Here comes, daffodils, crocuses, and tulips,
just to name a few!
Orioles, robins, and many other birds,
will be appearing too!
All kinds, of flowers and vegetation,
in abundance, will be seen!
Trees, with dew drenched leaves and branches!
New grass, growing fresh and green!
So many colors all around,
like red and green and gold!
Mother Nature’s majesty,
a plethora to behold!
Folks raking up their garden beds.
Fixing up their houses too.
What’s referred to as “spring cleaning”!
Doing things they need to do!
So much of nature’s beauty,
for all around to see!
The rolling streams and mountains,
every greening tree!
Yes, Mother Nature is an artist!
None better, can be found!
All you have to do to prove it,
is just take a look around!

Look.around you can you see me
Look around you are you really that
Blind
Can't you see me look around you
Im that dark shadow
Walking your mind
Look around you can't believe your
So so blind
From the window's of your kind.
Listen closely can you hear me
Like like the echo's of time
How many times must
I cross your mind
Do you even know of your own kind
Your So so blind
Can you feel me like
A hot fever rushing your feet
I can't believe your so so blind
You don't even see your kind.
Now it's time to sleep
Pray to god your soul to keep.
Look around you; the world is changing fast;
as frustrations are morphing into hate.
Coronavirus has left folks downcast;
they're told to hide behind a mask or wait
it out at home, a house-arrest inmate.
If you recall, it seems, but yesterday;
that the world held so much promise for youth.
Yet, everything is different today,
and the reason why doesn't require a sleuth;
alternative realities trump truth.
The worldwide web has caught our hopes and dreams;
in the fantasy fibers of its net.
And cute emojis repress silent screams;
for thousands of friends are easy to get,
yet easy to lose; that's the constant threat.
Social media puts lies on display;
when you enter their conspiracy world.
And friends never get together to play;
they've become players in a netherworld,
a computer-generated dreamworld.
Look around and see
How men hustle to taste the hustle of bee
Jumping from one hive without key
To another is a stress with no fee
Depression replaces momentary glee
Look around and see
To see, remove the blocking seals
After relishing lucrative deals
Bosses bus public meals
To nurse their wards till hunger heals
Look around and see
How men smoke out bees off their hive
Creating an anger that stings Innocent's life
Which affect the simple chain of life
Now we Innocent are on lifetime strife
Look around and see
If need be, wash your eyes with soap
How men cope is with the hope
That evils lose their breaks in this slope
Before banking our honey and elope
Look around and see
How men are rejected
Little Originality not accepted
But large quantity accumulated
Even if honey is sugared or laked
Look around and see
Just look around and see
There are more to say from what I see
I aim to truncate this saddened read
Look around and see
Evil isn't Divine, it's just of our own making!
You got the key to open every door inside me, Step in and take a look around do you see me floating in the clouds, You got me at hello, Please never let me go, My heads spinning around and round, Keep me in your dreams, Hold my have through everything, Go ahead place a ring on my hand, I truley devote everything to you my baby, I need you by my side, till the day that I die, Protect me from this evil life, Cause you got me at hello, You got the keys to open every door inside me
Take a look around you
What do you see?
War and famine
Death and hate
Lives being torn apart
If you could make a wish now
What would it be?
Peace and love
Food and money
Socialism, no greed
Take a look around you
What do you see?
Food, money
Shelter, protection
More than what you need
Now think about the others
Who don’t have what we have
And all we do is take for granted
The luxuries in our life
Maybe one day in the near future
You’ll take another look around you
And see the love and the peace and a socialistic world
A truly spectacular view
