Best Miscalculations Poems


Premium Member Another One Down
Another One Down
And another one bites the dust. 

Marriage. 
My friend, my neighbor, the lady next door, 
Rampant miscalculations of being too nice, 
two people that complain, endlessly.

She does not do enough. 
I have not had “any” in weeks. 
I work all the time. 
What...

Why be concerned with transparency
People are blind, they really can’t see
With distortion and illusion in the word today
And bias and lies in what people say

Just be who you are, one of a kind
The truth will totally blow their mind
They’ll be so confused trying to figure...

Call Me Skitzo
If I walk across scolding coals, does that make me unstoppable
If I steal metaphors, does that make me a mastermind UN-robbable?
That's improbable, but it's not impossible for the phenomenal,
Call me Skitzo, I'll shatter monk monastery windows, that's illogical

With unimaginable skills, imagery on the metaphorical canvas...

Every earlobe ever pierced, minus non-pierced lobes, without exception
 Quantified by head size, quality of piercings, and variety of earrings worn
   Under ultraviolet light, utilizing reflective space, sound waves and distance
    At appropriate intervals, measuring cut, clarity, carat, color and...

Premium Member Goodbye Mister Chip
The team's fans had lofty expectations.
They were squelched by your miscalculations.
The trades you made provided no improvement.
The team's performance was a bitter disappointment.
Your boys lost some games to mediocre teams.
That caused inability to fulfill some dreams.
A smooth road to travel proved to be rough.
The team's...

Premium Member Calculating Public Health
I wouldn't want you to walk away
with any miscalculations about me.

I am about as wild and crazy as society will allow
without confinement for my own protection.

Whenever I read a self-marketing sign

Please Help...
Vacancies of home and body,
Needing to be filled.

I feed the bearers of these signs
of...

Too Much Time
September 10, 2007 - Monday 

 Too Much Time 

Broken in my mind is trust, and love is a pile of dust; feel the gold of your 
wedding band as it turns cold on a stranger's hand; all the years spent wasted, 
lost on a...

The Math Within Us
If i take you out of the equation i have me
If you take me out of the equation you have you
But the problem is still the same
No matter how you draw it out
All the miscalculations
All those miscues
The equation of us is at a stand still
You...

Premium Member Waiting For You
I squandered my future,
my past present expended.
Unsteady steps protracted, 
seconds and hours not tended.
My thoughts were not pondered, 
delusional perspectives un-debated.
So many of my mistakes,
could have been anticipated.

Was it my unfounded fear,
that informed my preoccupations?
I could have chosen different,
my foundational miscalculations.
Polite and respectful, 
an untrue...

Premium Member Supremely Anthrocentric
Seems like RightWing angry reds
are clueless anthrosupremacists
who joke they'd be better off dead
than organically well fed

Despite indigenous faith in sacred EarthJustice
now rewritten as salvation by capital colonization
redeemer aspirations
falling militantly fascist apart

While blue LeftWing
non-green
more secularly cooperative corporate leaders
advertise redemption
while at best blushing over past miscalculations
extractive and...

Swindle My Vapors
Only angry about the stupidity of my 
Forefather's miscalculations and 
Now living within an archaic formulae

This makes me undulate as a situation 
Spins new dna
Onto phantasmagorical
Fingertips whilst attempting connection

Maybe in the hopes of singing with pure diapragm
Yes
Deep throat and lung vibrations
Make the multitudes sway in...

Uhhhhh Idk
Verse 1:
People built civilizations,
But made some grave miscalculations.
Economics, they thought, was key,
But gave money value recklessly.

Verse 2:
Politics, they said, could solve it all,
But added people to situations that made them fall.
Science, they believed, held the truth,
But endangered animals for knowledge that was uncouth.

Verse 3:
Mathematics, they...

Black Sheep Mentality
Miscalculations and moments of self-assertion
These mistakes, I wish I learned the first time
Abating in my conceit with obvious wounds to show
A battered and bitter human but less off a being
Inward and beyond, a lack of will rest in the void
No righteous fury to arise and...

Beyond Redemption
Beyond redemption

Alone destitute and not afraid
Fatigue, wear and tear weights heavily upon my soul
The tears only seem to strengthen a malignant resolve
As I care not where this journey may lead
Heaven or hell although I’ve had my fill of the latter
Release is imminent as I die...
