Best Senseless Poems

Through the shallows,
Through the depths,
The muck and the mire,
With trembling limbs
I succor the dying,

Strip the layers naked...
A conceit of consciousness
In psychic awareness,
I repute the repudiated
Caught in a self made web
Of hubris, malevolent envy.

Wrath projected...as a
Boomerang, must return.
Ashes back to ashes is
The only transformation
Derived in sustained...

Senseless

What is it inside the heart of man
That cannot appreciate another’s suffering
Were we born with this senseless implacability

Is it from life itself we grow these calluses of the soul
Are we created not to care
Is the face of nature so coldly ruthless
That we must come to...

In the plains of Africa another elephant corpse is found,
Despite a ban on trade for ivory since 1989 there is poaching;
Tens of thousands of elephants are brutally killed each year,
Their majestic tusks used to make ornaments and jewelry.

Weak law enforcement and corruption allows this...

Love does more than
Temporarily blind
It knocks out
Olfactory senses too....

Not safe in God’s House
In trouble at the Schoolhouse
In danger at the White House
Especially, in our own house
We’re hunted like the old time
Prosecuted
And persecuted
Like breathing was a crime.

Too much racial hatred
This is a new, new apartheid
They want our blood, our sweat
For nothing, for pennies
They want...

Remaining a junkie
Continually spending money
Like a dummy

Life ain't always sweet like honey
It's cold not always sunny
They're out for bloodshed, so it turned bloody
They're still racist full of hatred so times got ugly 

When push comes to shoving
I'm covering much ground, important matters I'm touching
Still so...

I suck at sobriety,
Even though life hasn't been that hard on me?
What excuse do I have
When I have all this support? 

I'm powerless,
Been that way since 16.
There's been times that I thought that I'd changed,
Then the old me returns to turn up the heat.

I'm not...

Every soul on the planet knows that people are senseless.
You'd think we'd wise up some over time.
Time and time again people focus on being devious.
Is the way they play their way of being real? People
Who really try to make a difference sometimes spill
Their kindness on...

Hear the calls of war
Tears falling in the dark night
Falling on deaf ears...

I approached the building again as always 
wearing wires concealed by my unborn child 
hunger returned while I feasted on raw 
celery sticks and half eaten chicken bones 

I'd wonder where exactly I belonged here 
among the fallen the dead beings reaching 
for honor in...

Petrified pottery ponders plots. Ploys play putting purring. And a frantically fraternising pickle arch can glow on many a skyline at dusk. In many hues. Many dusks many arches many hues and many hues mean many hundreds and many hundreds mean invite to investment of...

Senseless acts of desperation.
 Motions made in your sleep.
I walk where the land meets the sea
The chains are draped down my back.
Forgiving comes easy darling
Yet the memory of you remains.
I walk away from the shadow of your reign
But never have I left this dwelling since...

You never know when,
a “black death” thumb instead of a “green” one,
will murder your flowers while,
you’re on vacation.

Co-workers, well-meaning;
can slaughter your workplace joy
if you ask them to,
plant-sit in your absence.

Like the pet hamster that,
you had as a child;
beloved plants fall prey to, 
untalented or uncaring...

Teardrop

Crimson rivers flood our streets          For every fallen fellow man
As hatred rears its head                     White, black,...

Judge Not; Lest You Be Judged
  

Judgement preys on mankind’s weak,
The fickle-minded soul
Where ignorance and hatred peak
Begins the tragic toll…

Where stereotypes rear ugly heads
And lies become belief,
Where trust stays buried under dread
The world is left with grief…

Injustice follows damaged minds
Where better views are flawed
Biased...
