Best Rubble Poems

No one knows the rubble I’ve seen.
Nobody knows but DEEEshus.
I stop washing dishes and turn around.
My four-year-old is belting this out with gusto.

These dishes?
She nods.
Where did you learn it?
In church.

Okay....

Forgetting is a vain refugee camp,
    Madonna, for still these walls get
    breached, amidst the daily, frenzied
    barter of honed art for bread,

While slaking arid, thirsty hours with
    bits of loving, or even...

A flag flies tall among the rubble
Placed even in times of great trouble

When skies grow dark or a town destroyed
Both the Red Cross and others deployed

Stories of death and rescue side by side
Both tears of joy and anguish we cried

It makes us all stop and...

I watched your young life from afar,
folk in town said you wouldn’t go far.

You became with child, the dad left  
 from then on it was baby and self

Your life was a constant struggle 
you triumphed through the rubble

Went back to school and got...

I was asleep in a dream of beautiful bees,
When I rolled over onto my side,
Then people all woke and ran from the hills,
Avoiding the lawless landslide.

Road became rubble, houses all heaved, 
Churches all chattered and churned,
And the power poles fell onto the ground, 
And the...

The fault lies within ourselves”
The tearing down of a person
A breaking of the Spirit
The ruining of self
Infliction by other person’s words
Growing up among the abandoned buildings
Once thriving with production
They became empty
The soul seen through broken windows
Cold and damp
Waiting to be torn down
Stripped of its resources...

Rubble


I can't think because 
I spend much time thinking 
And I can't sleep 
Cause my dreaming keeps me awake

In those sleepy  dreams
I've got to get on moving 
Swing the wrecking ball
Break free from this prison 

I said ooh ooh ohh
It's like a wrecking ball...

Fred Flintstone
    Felt tingles, down his funny bone,
    While playing his golf ball, he lost control.
    Barney cried foul, as it bounced off his elbow into the hole.

A rubble in a suitcase can be crushed by the might of ten elephants, sixteen rhino, and ladybird in a purple hat. But never a beetle or a silver snake with googly eyes. The monstrous bellowing can alter the voluminous stripes of even the most...

Seems our beloved space telescope
Has been mistaken for a park trash can
By certain alien races.

Shuttle crews removes 39 beer cans, two soda pop bottles, three alien 
newspapers, a very bizarre condom wrapper, and six emptied cans of 10w40 
intergalactic motor oil.

They also found, what they...

I want to be more than,
  the tears in your eyes.
I want to be the blood,
  in your veins.
To seal and heal your wounds,
and fill your heart every second....

darkness traveling underground
rolling skies rumbling in the night
lighting piercing splintered hearts
trees ripped apart 
thunder with in the light
buildings tumbling down
hurried winds blowing
fraigle breezes around
dandelion rubble
next winds
declares trouble
rumbling down
bodies scattered about
in a lifeless sight...

Pure Rubble Permanently Reduced

With dynamite bricks had been induced;
To pure rubble permanently reduced
Hardly believed what I saw in each eye;
All became dust floating into the sky;
In the end, a nightmare was produced.

Now will have to read next two limericks....
