Best No Chance Poems

Friends we are  much  more I yern for us
to be.
I take to silence cause  its not him.
That I was ever ment to to be.

A barfly wasnt ever ment  to  see the light.
I'll bury my emotions .
 So no one will...

The worst of the bright-cracks have passed.
The tumultiest of the bucketiest of the rains have proved not to last.
The cat has chirp-purred his way into a damp-fur snuggle.
    It’s Price is Right time, now.

There’s a secret number.
To determine from beneath the summer-weight...

Boko Haram came last night,
to steal a lamb for slaughter.
And began to fondle me,
my father lost his daughter.

As rough hands stripped me naked,
fingers probed private places.
And men without modesty,
took pains to hide their faces.

Chains shackled to my ankles,
my head's covered with a sack.
And I was...

Sunny and clear with no chance of rain,
That's what the weatherman said.
Warm and breezy, a perfect day,
To get up and get out of bed.

Why stay inside on such a glorious day?
Think I'll take a walk, get some fresh air.
Better yet I'll go fly a kite...

I vividly recall the dream, of the moment, I first saw your face
Unsettled, quite smitten, my mind became an empty space
Words tripped over, then skipped out, along with my voice
Like a bashful school girl meeting her first crush, I lost my poise

The fine, white, sun...

No chance
My grandchildren will know poverty
As I have

No chance
They will stray from
Education

Chances are,
They will excel
Far beyond me

Per chance
Perhaps
They will love poetry

Infinitesimal chance
They will uphold
Atheistic views

No chance
Absolutely none
They won't disrespect you.

He yearned for quiet.
He craved perfect silence.
He pictured himself in some valley,
Abandoned by all,
Resting against some old oak tree,
With no soul in sight.

It was not to be.
All he heard was rustling,
Movement all around the room.
No peace to savour,
Could not even read his lines.
He watched her...

Thinking of you in my stolen moments,
Alone here with nothing but time.
My heart still breaks knowing,
I never had a chance to say good-bye.
I know your looking down and smiling,
No longer the worry of being in pain.
You had more than a life’s time share of suffering,
You...

Finding a job is hard to do
Employers will just look at you
Never giving you a chance
Without any experience
This is wrong-- it aint no lie
Never letting someone try
And seeing what you might find
If they were just given time
To learn and start to really grow
As their skills...

No chance, so died the seed 
of love in germination, and did 
not grow to be, 
failed and withered on the vine; 
my aching heart must bleed 
of spectral laceration, and bid 
the tears fall free 
for what was almost mine. 

No chance to say...

He has no chance
Blues and bitching bosses
Unite to ruin his life...

I grab a glass of water;
As I drink it I don’t git any taller;
Got a basketball N my hand;
But it don’t make me a baller;
Met this girl in the park;
Along about near dark;
Asked for her phone, so that I could caller;
Guess what? ………………………………………….
She was married;...

I told you my feelings were strong.
You told me the time was wrong.
But for you, I do still long.

There are so many things I’d like to say. 
But it never seems to be the right time of day.
 I weep, I cry, I wish I...

Impersonal and mystic force?
I think that there is little chance
our origin’s a random course.
Impersonal and mystic force?
No thing, no one, no rhyme, no source?
Life’s so much more than happenstance!
Impersonal and mystic force?
Of that, I think there’s little chance....

No chance to hold on
To what was slipping
Not strong enough
It’s leaking through my fingers

My hands aren’t big enough
To grasp what’s left
To clutch it to me
To savor the rest

Yanked from my grip
My fingers bleeding and raw
Like the heart that is empty
Now that you’re gone...
