Best No Go Poems
"The No-Go Zone"
I’m in edit mode
you know
yeah, you know
when the mirror
has blind zones
black holes
suck you in
you’re in love
with the no way
hell no way
am I going
back there
again
I’m in edit mode
the zone
you know
yeah,
you know
you know
(LadyLabyrinth/ 2023)
For all his meals Ralph Redd ate soup
to keep him from between-meals droop.
It seemed to be OK
but then there came a day
when Ralph was unable to poop.
So!
So what!
Or so not.
So not so cool,
by that I mean cruel.
This world wants to play fool.
It surely saddens God's creative eye, so!
To see beloved earth fall apart.
When did downward spiral start?
A mean streaked heart
too often wins.
So sins.
So!
No!
No way,
do not say.
No one walks toward,
or seeks God's rich reward.
There appears to be no forward
path to righteousness, say yes or no!
To sin, your own choice make.
Speak up your chances take.
For the world's sake
will you let
evil set?
No!
Go!
Go where?
Go out there.
Make your presence felt.
Show the world you knelt,
ensuring any cold hearts did melt.
Take God's hand into the world, go!
Show strength and with the meek
stop the world's sinful streak.
Into evil goodness leak.
Sin must lose,
you choose.
Go!

Been in a chokehold
This world can be so cold
Lucky if you can grow old
Often things shook up like a snow globe
Do you know what it's like to have no home?
On the population a government spies, they do or don't probe
Experienced firsthand, unable to document on a GoPro
What's up with the dodos
And all these bozos
For the protection of me and Toto
I'm packing a fo-fo
Always keeping an eye out for po-po
They put out another bolo
I often ride around solo
And pop a rolo
Since it's yolo
I can't settle for so-so
I need it all by the boatload
It's all not a joke yo
The last thing I need to do is drink and smoke mo
It's a no go
Cut the crap and quit it with the low blows
Unless you want me to slit your throat slow
Since I'm dangerous like Oso
I've got no fomo
it if any folks know
I'm falling for no hoe
For the longest time, it was just me and Jojo
From here to Kyoto
The proof is there not just in the form of photo
Did a wheelie
Always ed up for really
Sometimes off a pilly
Yo what's the dilly
Why've you been acting silly
Misunderstood they'll never feel me
Can't stop myself from overdoing it with what can kill me
I've got a f***ed up feeling, I'm the goat like Billy
But I've been in a ghillie
Hiding among the lilies
No matter if it's scorching or chilly
From here to way beyond Philly
It's way bigger than a Milli
People remain locked up or they're still free
In the end you won't or you will see
Limiting themselves from full potential they are guilty
In a world that continues to be beautiful yet filthy
It's difficult to maintain tranquility
Not always smooth and silky
In a galaxy they deemed as 'Milky'
For there to be success it had to be done skillfully
With brilliancy and agility
In forty kilometers squared
They’re killing livestock in Japan.
Atomic refugees, though scared,
return just to grab what they can
in the five hours they’re allowed
before leaving their homes for good,
look sadly at the farms they’ve plowed
and mourn their poisoned neighborhood.
Still searching for family lost
at the funeral homes each day,
they haven’t realized the cost
or the price that they still must pay.
Fukushima’s apology
means little while they sort debris.
The man laughed
Angering the woman
No wedding now
God no go shame us
I no fit shout
But all I can say is
Thank you God
It you no dey faithful
I no know as this world
For ugly for son of Man
I no fit Hala pass myself
Cos your Goodness
And mercy sweet pass
Mama ngozi jellof rice
Even Senegal own
No fit try you blessings
Upon my soul
I no fit shout
I no fit Hala
Cos I know last last Baba
God no go shame us
Many moons ago
Rudolph played in the snow
He did not have to fly
With Father Christmas, in the sky
Because his Mummy said no
You cannot help everybody
You cannot save everybody
You cannot be the hero/heroine of everybody
Surely you have good intentions towards people
For sure you have that zeal to help people
But you know what?
Not everyone in need of help can actually be helped
No matter what!
Just do your best to your very best
And leave the rest
No go do pass yourself...
Don't struggle to give what you don't have
Or cannot afford...
What I know I cannot divulge
because I should not know it.
I snuck a look in secret
without you knowing.
Now my knowing torments me
as you don't know about it yet.
I cannot tell you about it.
Should I hasten your discovery;
will this reveal my secret?
How can I fain surprise
when I already know?
Will my quick response reveal
my foreknowledge?
I wish I had never snuck a look
in the envelope, as it has left me in
'no go land' with mine fields all around me.
I was only trying to help,
but now I am helpless
in a trap of my own making.
A nowhere man in no go land.
Many moons ago,
Rudolph played in the snow.
He did not have to fly,
With Father Christmas, in the sky,
Beccause his Mummy said no.
I wrote this some time ago.
a world without words
appropriation sulking
no tango to dance
D-oing something good
I-s sure to please the Father;
N-o evil work will win,
N-o wrong will take
O-ver.
M-aking the right move
A-ims to glorify the Lord;
N-o error will bring regret,
G-ain another good record.
O-n the twenty-seventh of August,
S-tay away from sorrow;
I-t won't make you fine,
N-o good is a no
G-o.
brothers want me to be an intermediary
their argument loud, their voices did carry
in between the two is not where I want to be
why does the family always turn and pick on me?
I don't endorse 'going with flow'
for of course you never know
if the current will funnel
you down the drain
the tubes or flume
through the tunnel
toward the spume
to where you end up
in the sewer below
so as I'm in no rush to gush
or feel completely flushed
here and now I do avow
for me the bowl on the whole
is a non-starter a definite no-go
