Best Make Both Ends Meet Poems


Premium Member Too Close to the Edge
Memories of a bleak childhood haunted him ever and anon.
Whenever he thinks of that dark day, a thousand blades cut through him.
Shocked by the ferocity of that memory, his mind still goes insane.
Old wounds are bleeding, as their scabs are scratched.

Born so poor, his family...

Art L S Lowry
( Coming home from the mill. )

Air full of smog from dirty factory chimney

people walking around square quite nimbly, 

grey clouds above small terraces workers abodes 

typical northern town with narrow cobbled roads,

Local shop owners struggle to make both ends meet

children with no socks or...

Premium Member A Soldier's Tears
Charged with a fiery spirit, full of valour
To protect the nation from rival force
Volunteered to join the armed force
Knowing well all risks, sans remorse

Plucked away from hearth and kin,
Often had to dwell in lands unknown
For daring and diligence, laurels he had won
Ever confronting foes, lived...

Premium Member Love Prevails Over Injustice
Can you see the homeless
Shivering with their emaciated physique
Struggling for shelter in make-shift shanties
Midst luxurious condominiums???

Can you hear their children known as street kids
Yelling at each other for left-overs
While seeking for edible crumbs
Among heaps of garbage???

Can you bear with their impoverished state
Along with their agony...

Life On Farthest Planet
Spit free roads with no traffic
Pit free streets of designs prolific
Rich cultural heritage and intellect
Folks-full of compassion and perfect
Discipline innate and mission oriented
Pupils are prodigal and celebrated
Duty seems to safeguard their land
All the nations are hand in hand
No division on caste, race or brand
Epicureans’ favorite...

The Otta Sight Generations
Hey babe, we're gonna go far.
All 'cause I am tried of working
for the man's with smelly Cuban
Imported cigars.  He must honestly
spend a small fortune on them.

We've been living much too long
on the far side of town.  Living
on the other side of rail road
tracks....

This Is Why I Pray
This is why I pray
To the Lord God Almighty; 
It's because of His command
That I call upon Him faithfully.

Not only weak but also frail I am, 
Vulnerable to pain and sorrow; 
But because of fervent prayer, 
I won't wane but glow and grow.

Life is fraught...

F-all on your feet,

O-n the twenty-sixth of August,

Premium Member Shop Until You Drop
I have had enough
Of traipsing around the shops
Looking at all the stuff
Stuff is what I call it
I don't know how else
That describes the tacky rubbish
That adorns every shelf
Where is the Christmas spirit
And the festive cheer
All I heard were moans and groans
Everything so dear
People look worried
Many...
