Best Sad Society Poems

"When humanity becomes louder than love, stay out of its way. At times, it's better to be the lion in the distance, rather than the sheep losing their way...again."

This was the 1st time
I felt out of place.

Its impact mimicked abused parallelograms
Unto emptiness’ solution

I witness sliced...

How life has changed
Simplicity no longer reigns
Now a society of ‘look at me’
Lost is self respect and modesty

Breasts and bums on display
Faces plastered in clay
Bodies injected with toxins
Natural beauty no longer an option

Plastic people with plastic minds
Self absorption and vanity combined
Every movement captured on phone
Posed...

I used to be a dreamer
Growing up within my mind,
I was no heavy sleeper
By creativity confined

I used to be a hero
One day, and then the next
I could've been Jack Sparrow
Prancing between the decks

I used to live in a circus
With carousels and flying cats,
I'd muck about...

standing in line
at the local grocery store. 

I stood there watching people
sighing impatiently and tapping their toes
while typing on their phones. 

I was next, elderly lady ahead 
was paying by check. 

I saw her tremble
as her fragile fingers penned
away her social security check. 

I reached...

"If I fell in love a thousand times, would it all make sense?" Sense - Tom Odell

Learn to say no, they said
Before you dwindle to dust
Till they drain all of your magic
In their selfish claws that constantly grab
The mouths that never pause
To listen to the...

I write the sadness of the Brazilian forests, 
About modern centuries and glass cities,
Tattooed Indians who are murdered too,
For a handle of gold or green diamond,

I write the greatness of Brazilian forests
Roots that descend to explore the earth,
Leaves that capture white light,
Suns that fall on...

It’s your turn…
Come to Santa, my dear
If only for a minute
Forget life is often cruel 
And you are hungry
Forget your sadness, little one
Believe if only for a short reprieve
In the magic of Christmas
That dreams can come true
That you too deserve a happy home
Find it in...

I am pretty. 
I know, because everyone says so.

I am so pretty that
Hoodies and lack of makeup
Translate as showing off
Natural beauty- as confidence
In the fact that everyone
Will love me,
Instead of disinterest...

I am so pretty that
Boys ask how old I am,
And say, "Too bad..."
Because I'm under...

An arthritic flesh

Hesitant wipes off deteriorated lens

Every exhale,
Another tragic sulk unto morrow’s pit
Flaunting suicidal fallacies

Off-white flag motions
Signaling mercy under liar’s duress

Muted pride
Cracking dusty knuckles

Penetration’s decrepit vowel
Slipping in between faulty, stamped licenses
Just to belong

Another back-handed waltz
Bordering beggar dialects

Untrue
Towards paradoxical epiphanies

A faceless identity
Converging amongst unwelcomed hymns
Tainting hallelujahs...

"Go on forth young graduates,

And show us who you are

You're now our future leaders

We know you will go far"

And so commencement ended

Pictures done and people changed

Now, off to private parties

All orderly pre-arranged

But four young girls stood waiting

Until they were alone

"Let's head out to the party

And...

The Potter, drenched in his noon-day sweat,
Sat hunched, cursing his fate;
The Clay which he fiddled with now
And the wheel he made to rotate,
Found him saddedned by a thought--
Saddened by his inward urge:
Should he make two separate 
figures?
Or should they be merged?

Straining softly his fingers, first
He...

Tell me why ...
babies have to cry,
from not having enough food to be pacified

Tell me why ...
mothers have to moan,
from seeing their babies suffer all night long

Tell me why ...
fathers have to feel impotent,
because they can't afford to pay the rent

Tell me why ...
parents have...

Madras

Hotel lobbies, hotel bars
Hotel rooms, air conditioned cars
City sights and sounds and smells
A smile, a frown, a shout impels
The thoughts within to exude
And express themselves without interlude

Here no blossoms, no sweet fresh air
Save the scented jasmine in the women's hair
And the two don't mix, as...

My mind is dark and my tears are blinding,
I cry when I'm hiding.
Because the world out there has no place for me,
All the judgemental eyes make me want to flee.

There are many like me outside,
And all of us have cried.
We are all different in many...

There are no words

There are no words, to describe the pain
there are no words to try to explain

How senseless gun violence is!

There are no words, there are way too many tears
there are no more words to allay your many fears

From wicked evil acts!

There are no...
