Best No Choice Poems

And I hate it
When I don't do it
And am made to
      feel a rat!

So what is it...

I was born white in this country without a choice
I was born male and I had no choice
I have blue eyes and what use to be brown hair
I had no choice

I went to school to learn as a child and I had no choice
I had...

I'm tired,
and I need to get some sleep. 
But I'll spend most of my night,
in a self-imposed fight.
Trying hard not to write
about how I, right now, 
must write. 

I'm caught in a bloodless battle
where no one gets killed.
But in this altercation 
only ink will be...

Go chase them from their dugouts,
Go chase them from their trench,
bayonet all their Look outs,
ignore their dead’s foul stench.

Tomorrow you go over,
The top, that is my lads,
and there is very little chance,
of your return from France.

The rattle of machine guns,
displace a man with space,
That space,...

I didn't want to cut the rope
I wanted you instead
But daddy torched my innocence
Placed a gun up to my head
My naivety was gone
12 years is not that long
I fought and screamed and tried to run
But I was not that strong
You see little one, I would...

As I watched the children out playing,
I kept hearing a soft little voice;
It seemed to be saying, again and again,
You really had no other choice.

Remembering times when bruises were new,
Those seen as well as unseen;
though I'd hidden the truth from everyone else,
you saw through the...

There is no such thing as society,
society is just you,her and I,
there is no such thing as community,
only you,him and I is what we see;
Thereby,there is no such thing as the state
or village,town,county,city to hate

forgetting,no one exists alone;
Each connected,mother,child brother,
one to...

Between two evils
No choice

Less evil
No one can say
You done
A good choice!...

He was the most powerful
And that attracted me
His eyes were deep and soulful
Maybe he’ll set me free

Dancing in his arms
He made me twirl and swirl
His magnetism and charms
Were undoing for this girl

His velvety voice
Whispered in my ears
He left me no choice
To back stab my dears

My...

I’ve been living alone
trying to get you out of my life
but after all this time
I can't help myself but miss you 
you're once a dream that came true
an illusion that turned to reality
but suddenly, things turned differently
the way they used to be
until such a time...
