Best Off The Streets Poems
Good Gang Versus Badtheres two types of gangs to join
you dont have to flip a coin
to know which one that you need
once gets you in trouble
the other helps you succeed
the gang at school is called a club
it keeps you off the streets...

Rhyme
GreatlyI glanced at him on his knees
donning tears and a robe
wiping bullet and blood off the streets.
He slowly made his way toward
the broken business zone.
A worn carpenter's belt in tow
a soft light was around him
as the crowd began to grow.
He helped the...

Big City Life I See YouLooking out onto to the glare off the streets, it almost appears as if the asphalt were a
sheet of glass, as the rain pours down on the street. I see them but they hardly even
notice me. Another cold winter has come and gone...

Dramatic Monologue
On Halloween - MonotetraOn Halloween the children play,
Dressed in fun costumes they sashay,
Through neighborhoods at dusk of day,
They make their way, they make their way.
Pirates and faeries, witches too,
Zombies and cats meet Scooby-Doo,
Darth Vader, Yoda, ghosts that boo,
Displayed for you, displayed for you.
"Trick or Treat," all the children...

The Flicker Fusion ThresholdIf I were to swagger off the streets
Some gangster as I perched the skulduggery
Of my litany in glitter and smoke
An ageless vandalism to linger unknown
While I sneer from the lounging corner of your TV
Would you recognise me
Though I slide sheathed in the flags and...

Victorian Poverty In LondonVictorian Poverty In London.
.
Slumming it in adverse poverty
In Victorian London’s
Limehouse White Chapel and Bethnal Green
Dingy doss houses packed to the brim
Narrow dirty streets with cobbles
And loud cartwheel din
.
Large families sharing one room
Overcrowded Cold and damp
Many children to one bed
Lit by candle...

To the LeadersAs a Politician
to get re-elected
you want the world to love you
as a dictator
ruling your people
you want your country at peace
you can attempt to use force
you can create prisons
to locked up the people
that argue or fight against you
yet how much better...

Daddy, Where Do Unicorns Come FromWell son...
It all began in Fairyland
In the lab of the mystical toads
As trash throughout the land had gotten way out of hand
Along side of the pixie dust roads
The system they had wasn't working
Leaving empty all the garbage cans
And everyone of the Fairies backs were hurting...

Getting the Poison Out For Good
The faster the clock ticks
The faster my heart beats
The lights got me feeling sick
And facing defeat
Words splashed across the wall
From splattered vomit this morning
A monument to all who said I'd fall
If I died would they all be mourning?
It's selfish but I did it to me
Drink...
