Best Rioted Poems


Premium Member A World Without Pity
After wishing me a good morning, he said that it was all set,
It was time to raze the house, even though I wasn't in debt!

But they wanted to build a big highway, exactly in this spot,
Like a beaver zealously builds his dam, by any means...

Axis Mundi
settlement without place;
time without wait;
the stillness of life
in the deep eruptious wild
with a world of thought 
arranging on in rioted lights 
that swim in the depths of her mouth 
contented conceptions
splurging themselves round
and out of their bounds
in the filling of absence
willing to hand things over

How Delightfully Tyrannical
A man came here to speak today,
students did not like him at all,
egged of by professors, quite enraged,
with no decency at all.
They claim we should ‘hear all sides,’
but when this man dared to speak,
they rioted and the police arrived
to end their fit of pique.
How delightfully...

I Have Failed One Life's Test
Granny and I lived in Bemeyills
A land beyond the hills
On a beautiful thatchy
In a tract of a wild country
She wanted me a life of bliss
So she called me and told me all these

She said event is a great lesson
It tells us whom and what to...

It's Time
By Franklin Price
11/24/2020

It's time that we moved forward
Past the days of Donald Trump
He came and opened up our eyes
And kicked us in the rump

He was not of Washington
Not of pseudo royalty
Fought the swamp, for what it's worth
Worked to make the people see

Was doomed from...

Last Remnant of Our Capitalist Dreams
I serve as a missing link between
A world of liberal dreams
And conservative lifestyles

I am a remnant of a life
Of owning cars and taking a wife
And spend my days organizing files

She embraces all a millennial's roles
Too poor to fill the air with coal
Or think about popping...

1968

Beaten on the school yard
Cursed on the bus
Not all the kids hated whites,
The few left in the hood.
Haters sat at dinner tables
Hearing the call to “justice.”
Just like us.

Nine – not near ready
To understand the chemistry of
Hate.
Fear haunted me, 
Dark sickening fear,
A sticky gray fog covered
My...

Abhorrent Vehement Strife Hijacking *****Sapiens
Antiestablishmentarian inherent malevolent violence
wracks human species, a most brutish and nasty beast
case in point Vladimir Putin the population 
constituting country of Ukraine he fleeced.

An embittered nihilistic teenager
grown haggard and old,
hence not surprisingly yours truly
crafts pseudo dystopian reasonable rhyme,
to dissociate himself with human species
blithely wreaking havoc...

Premium Member To a Former Friend
I am sorry I can no longer respect your hue
Since you have succumbed to Q-Anon
Parroting most stupid conspiracy theories
Since the Trump train you jumped on
And adopted a jaundiced view of our history
Believing The Donald's outrageous lies
Crediting to him outlandish deeds
And planting false social media seeds.

I...

Amazed and Confused
I love Politics
And have been watching in
Confusion and Amazement
At Donald Trumps election as President

The first address he gave
Was 1 with a rather conciliatory tone
Expressing a will to govern for all

But it seems to have brought Riot's
And lawless to the streets 
From opposition supporters
Who profess he...

An evangelized atheistic adherent,
I aver evolutionary theory
posits prelapsarian Eden
of astonishing plentitude
gone to hell in a handbasket.

Ever since human species stood...

Love Has Never Showed Its Worth
Lead me to other suns,
Grab my hand and take me higher,
I know he knows I’m here;
But the shadows robbed our love.

This space seems far from friendly,
And my strength barely goes on,
Open up the roads they rioted;
They meant life when we were born.

Evil placed its dark...

Singing Competetion
Animals gathered in the forest
for annual singing competition
at the table was the old big toad
presiding as  adjudicator guest
weaver bird sang so well that day
monkey sang so well, playing fiddle
snake hissed and danced zigzag
frog croaked , jumped all over
all other animals did their best
surprise in...
