Best Massacring Poems

Dear anxiety
Nemesis to my reality,
mental manipulator of tentative trust,
massacring my once sagacious soul -
you cut me into a slice of loneliness.

The fault is in our thoughts,
so I am haunted by the things you never said.
You remain silent to society's subjective eyes,
but a glimpse of a...

“This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.
I don't plan it.
When I'm outside the saying of it,
I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.”
Rumi

Poetry, 
sometimes you can be cruel, 
manipulating me to express thoughts
which I've secretly suppressed. 
You poach pieces of my...

"Cruel birds—ravens—but wise. And creatures should be loved for their wisdom if they cannot be loved for kindness."
- Hannah Kent


My lover's demons are like ravenous ravens.
Her love is a hand grenade triggering exploding emotions,
massacring words into silent suppression
but beyond the threshold of her eyes, 
there's a...

Blackberries start as white dots in a sea of thorns
The flower will fade, and a green berry will join
Protected, it will grow and be pink
Safe from even a massacring mink
Larger, it will swell until it is red
No enemy can lay down their head
Darker and darker...

Ongoing the 21st century's free style massacre
The horrible morning has started there in Myanmar, 
Satan is tormented by theses and has come down
To learn the massacring styles in special gown, 
But no one has yet directly protested the bestiality
So the massacrers gigantically speed up in...

Your love, my Lord  
The bastion of my soul  
No enemy of your Word 
Ever, able would be,
Its walls of devotion to 
Ascend
For 
Hate, the kingdom of terror to
Establish!

The year ends on saddest notes
of crying, dying babies in Palestine 
and obstructed efforts 
to throw them a lifeline 

They ought to have long halted
this ethnic cleansing 
of the indigenous inhabitants
Stop the cruel bombardment
of their poor apartments
I'm not just griping for nothing,
the scenario is too...

So alone in the crowd with the people all around me
So alone in the dark with the lights all around me 

Feeling the chill tearing my chest
In the neck deep water of the mountain crest

Seeing the sky with the aurora light up 
And becoming a...

All of the images
Sending mixed messages
Massacring the masses
\while we view hindsight through rose-colored glasses
And all the whispers stop
Silence thick as the sound of a pin drops
Moment of silence for all of the victims
The same silence amongst us that ultimately killed them
And my mind is still...

Red wine stains on sheets,
music notes that bleed silence.
Grand poets on abandoned streets,
writing melodic poems of violence.

Venetian masks of golden designs,
gondola rides that pursue insanity. 
Deception and lies clutching vines,
violet petals consumed by vanity.

Jugglers and peddler monks anew,
begging for a temporary treasure.
Midnight exposing her glass...

Ice say... water we dew wing to planet Earth?

Tis appalling *****sapiens legacy,
the future survival of species can ill afford
hence we must not dodge and dart away,
but heed urgent call to arms decree fiat,
lest vast gamut of flora and fauna
deprived their rightful respect

Somber slate clouds blanket the longing skies,
whilst wisps of snow paint the frozen ground below.
Ombre leaves barrenly speckle slumbering trees,
glistening sheets of ice coat their fading existence.

Another bitter winter blows in,
like thistle tangling around forsaken irises.
Threads of changing seasons cling to my coat.
Taking a deep...

Silent the guns and call your enemy
to say hello, as long as there is life in you
and empathy in mutual suffering by
the massacring virus invading us
like a shrewd salesman of death.
Senseless arms buildup and proxy wars
keep fuel on its fire burning us alive.
Its catastrophe knows...

As night meandered, 
a deceitful descent, 
a sparrow's cry did beckon,
the dark perils, of yet 
another mysterious presidio,
of intrigue and macabre phantasm.
There,
amongst the massacring 
twilight, an omen of morbid
sensation and forbidden temptations.
The squalls of envy and hate, 
malice and its leviathan 
of undertow.
The burdens of...

what grows in the water
organisms we swallow
that grow and take over
sickened to know it can happen to more places than mexico
our bodies being 90 percent water
another black plague for you to swallow
learning a second tank necisary to boil the drinking water

What do we hear in...
