Best Overdoses Poems


With the Kids
Another boring lost night.
Sipping on warm beers outside the local store.
Trying to stay outta the cops sight.

Cars gather stereos blasting in the 
parking lot.
Local kids gather telling stories 
and smoking pot.

Susan and Billy just got back 
togather.
Jacks drunk again.
Lookin for a fight with a mind...

Disaffection
DISAFFECTION

To any politician,
Tell someone who cares...
This is society's news I'm reading,
Disaffection and tales of lemmings,
To any politician, 
Tell someone who cares,
Homeless youth, street sleeping,
Drug overdoses away they're sweeping,
To any politician, 
Tell someone who cares,
School leavers, forever unemployed,
Dystopia is being deployed,
To any politician,
Tell someone who cares,
Drug...

Life Is Like a Rainbow
Life is like a rainbow
Take it slow
And enjoy the show
No need to rush
The end will be here soon enough
The day has begun
Try making it a good one
Soak up the sun
Relax and have lots of fun
Breathe in that fresh air
There’s no place I’d rather be than...

Premium Member My Soul
One day my soul lied to me 
It claimed the Sun would always shine
The Moon would always glow
And Love would erase Hate forever
For years I believed this 
I breathed this, digested this
Everyday and every night
But now I see Hate, overcome Love
The skies grow dark day...

My Life and Our Lives
My head spinning  
My mind twisted,
Im caught up in a propeller 
While my body is being catapulted,
My life's a spin, so its your turn
Jumping jacks and back packs
My life a journey and my past a memory ,
Skipping the importance while stating the obvious,
Im hungry,...

Stolen Time
Awoken by his exit from a dream of love so divine
Ghostly memories were left behind to forever haunt my mind
Gone was the one true love of my life, love can be so unkind
A loss I still search for the words to define, kept praying I...

Death You Hold a Scythe Over Me
Death you hold a scythe over me
i have waited for you
there is no trepidation here
i am a paucity of patience
i welcome you
the engine is long tired, hurting
parts not available to replace
i do not wish to shatter into pieces
in some long race to a finish line
i...

A State of Absance
I’m in a state of absence but blissfully unaware
As for now seems like my only real prognosis
I'm not one for ignorance but now don't care
And I'm sure I have taken plenty of overdoses

For this brief moment my thoughts now cease
Just for this once to have...

Premium Member What Else Is New
the fiber optic cables are swollen with grief
blood clots the airwaves
faces beyond despair stare from half a world away
newsprint is smudged with the tears it’s reporting

the world’s absurdity
nature’s cruelty
man’s depravity
all in high-resolution overdoses of reality

there are too many claims on my sympathy
too much need for...

Still Counting
And when it ends suddenly, unexpectedly,
You start to count.
First on the days, then the hours - then
Just counting until 100
Then
Beginning            again.

The dead find their faces
The living count faces
      ...

Premium Member Better World
I envision no romantic, grease-splattered engineer
Overseeing the direction of my particular train. 
It just follows the course of the tracks laid down 
Within the fractal flow of nature’s symmetry.
It curiously transports me from one sad affair to another,
Depending on which Chiquita happens to be turning...

A Global Warming Almanac
Januari brings the glow, that                           
Makes the beech and filbert grow

February brings the rain, that
Warms our open pool again

March...

Distant Memories
Remember when...
Getting high meant swinging on the playground, 
never connected to smoke from an exhale sound 

The worst thing you could get from the opposite sex were cooties, 
now we risk STD’s when pursuing sexual opportunities

Your Mom or Dad was synonymous for hero, 
The one...
